Tangled Strings (sequel to Red Strings)

Chapter 46

I move on top of him and push him backwards keeping out lips connected, he suddenly starts to laugh. "What happened?" I ask breathlessly. "My hand's in the chip bowl." he smiles I look down at it. "I don't even care." I tell him placing his hands on my hips and reconnecting our lips. 

A couple hours and we're laying on the floor cuddled together and I'm wearing his t-shirt, and we're watching Castle and eating ice cream. "You know we're kind of like Castle and Beckett." Luke says suddenly. "In what way?" I ask taking a bit of ice cream. "Well everyone knew they where meant to be together, and Castle was just waiting for Beckett to realize it." "Ok but in this scenario who's Castle and who's Beckett?" I question "Oh I'm for sure Castle." "No, way I'm Castle!" "I don't think so." "Please I am way more Castle then you!" "Is that so?" he taunts "Yup!" Luke shoves the ice cram tub in my face, then starts laughing hysterically. "That was a very Beckett thing to do." I inform him as he continues to laugh.

"You think this is funny do you?" I ask he nods I lift my head kissing him and getting ice cream all over his face. "Don't even care!" he smiles "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Good, cause you look cute." "Skyler we've been over this, I am not the cute one you are!" "Am not!" I pout.

"You're honestly the cutest thing ever" "I'm pretty sure the 5sosfam would disagree." Luke's eyes go wide. "Speaking of 5sos what are we going to tell the gang?" I look down, I hadn't even considered the outside world until he said that. 

"What is there to tell?" I ask hoping he'd say it. Luke blushed reaching for his hair and I put his hand down, gently shaking my head. "Are you ever going to stop doing that?" I ask "I can't help it you make me nervous!" "Oh so it's my fault?" "Yup." "Um I seem to recall that you where doing that before you met me..." "Not as much though!" he counters. 

It's suddenly quiet again "Skyler?" "Yeah?" "I'm sorry I didn't come get you that night." I instantly know what he's talking about that embarrassing night at the bar. 

"I shouldn't have expected you to." I tell him interlocking our fingers "I'm sorry I kissed Michael." I whisper and he shrugs. "I'm over it, I mean I wish you had kissed someone who wasn't my best friend instead but we weren't together so..." I take a deep breath. 

"I mean as long as he wasn't a better kisser then me." I pretend to think about it seriously and he nearly squawks. "Skyler!" "Luke I mean it isn't a competition!" I tease he glares at me. "I hate you." "No you don't" "You're right I love you." 

I reach my hand up to touch his face "I love you too Beckett." "Why do you always have to ruin the moment?" I shrug. "So... will you be my girlfriend again?" He asks me I answer him with a kiss. "But seriously I don't think we should tell the gang yet, I mean they all have so much going on right now." "Ok." he agrees his phone buzzing Luke reaches for it but I stop him. 

"Is it ok if we just live in this moment for a little longer?" I ask Luke nods instantly clicking on another episode of Castle on the computer and laying back beside me wrapping his arms around me. As the opening sequence plays Luke leans over and whispers in my ear. "Dorkay?"        

Natalie's POV

"Oh my god YES Ross!" I yell at the tv as Ross kisses Rachel at long last as I cheered.  "Watching something with you is pretty interesting..." Calum says pulling me onto his lap, my back now to the tv. "Why?" I ask and Calum chuckles before saying "Well, cause it's more entertaining to watch you then the actual show." 

I pout but Calum cups my cheek and I giggle a little before leaning in and kissing him, as he instantly deepens it.  "Mmm how did I get so lucky?" Cal mumbles against my lips before placing his hands on my hips, pushing up the fabric of the baggy shirt I had borrowed, his hands cool against my skin.
