[ch. 18]

"Did Harry tell you?" I asked and he nodded.

"I knew I didn't like Michael, the next time he pulls something like that.." Luke trailed of as his muscles tensed up and his abs became rock hard against my hand and then he sighed deeply loosening all this muscles.

"He won't, I'm not talking to him after what he just did. He was suppose to be my best friend.." I mumbled feeling betrayed by the only person that knew me better than anyone else. But then again so did Calum and he was more supportive than Michael half the time but Michael just has a funny way of showing he cares. He acts rude to get his point across to show he cares and doesn't want something bad to happen and of course that's exactly how he's been acting towards me since I've been around Luke.

"He's not coming anywhere remotely close to you." Luke said with a huff and a giggled a little bit. "What's funny?" He asked with a pout.

"You trying to be all tough." I laughed tracing shapes on his chest and he groaned.

"I am tough, I'm a total punk Lana." He argued and I held in my laugh.

"What's your favorite animal?" I asked him.

"A penguin." He answered flat out.

"Awe," I cooed at him. "That's so cute." I teased and he groaned once again.

"Awe?" He questioned, "No not awe, penguins are totally punk rock." He argued and I laughed.

"No honey, they're cute and cuddly just like you." I pointed out, I knew he wanted to argue but somehow he knew he wouldn't win and he dropped the whole conversation.

"How long do you want to lay here because I kinda had an idea.." He trailed off and I wanted to know what it was.

"What, what is it!?" I asked a little too desperately and I laid my head back down feeling embarrassed as he chuckled.

"Maybe you'd like to go swimming?" He said and I shot up happily.

"Where at?" I asked and Luke smirked.

"Harry has a pool out back, it's so cool." Luke said and my mouth dropped. Now he has a pool in the backyard? What isn't in this house, honestly.

"But I don't want to get up." I groaned wrapping myself around Luke's body so he too couldn't get up.

"Lana." He whined trying to get up but I held onto him for dear life. "Get your swimsuit out come on let's go swimming with the boys." He said trying to get me to get up.

"Hmm," I hummed. "No thank you." I giggled and Luke groaned.

"Alright, you asked for it." Luke said as he began to rise from the bed and I was shocked he could even lift up my weight when I went limp on purpose so it'd be hard for him to lift me. He scooped me up and held me tightly so that I couldn't get out of his hold as he walked down the stairs.

"Luke." I sternly said hoping he wasn't about to do what I think he'd do. He went out the back doors and there tanning was Harry with his hands behind his head and Ashton just swimming around. "Luke!" I said squirming trying to get out of his hold and he began to grin.

"One," He counted out loud. "Two.." He said and Ashton and Harry looked over smiling.

"Don't you dare!" I freaked out still trying to get out of his hold.

"Three!" He shouted swinging his body back about to launch me, "Catch Ashton." Luke said as I felt myself flying in the air as I squealed and Ashton held out his arms to catch me.

"Hey a butterfly." Ashton said turning away from me as I splashed into the water. Coming to the surface I looked over at Ashton and groaned and then Luke jumped in swimming close to me.

"Easily distracted." Harry said shaking his head as he still laid there tanning.

"Now you don't need a swimsuit." Luke said with a cheesy smile and I splashed water in his face crossing my arms. "Awe Lana." He cooed wrapping his arms around me trying to be all cute after he just threw me into the pool.

"No." I said trying to stand my ground and he buried his head in the crook of my neck and squeezed me tighter.

"Lana baby." He cooed making my heart melt at him calling me baby. I couldn't give in I was upset with him. Or was I?

"Lana banana." Harry joined in with the cooing and saying his little nickname for me.

"Lana." Luke cooed again kissing me on my neck, "I'm sorry." He said in a deeper voice that sounded just like his morning voice and I about lost it right there.

"What?" I asked still trying not to give in.

"I'm sorry." He cooed into my ear like a whisper almost as he began to kiss my jaw line.

"Lucas." I scolded him and he knew exactly why too.

"Please forgive me, I'm sorry." He said with his lips pressed against my cheek and I finally gave in with a sigh.

"Fine." I giggled and he spun me around giving me a sweet peck on the lips.

"Who's up for pool volleyball?" Ashton asked and we all thought it'd be a good idea.

"I get Lana!" Harry called jumping into the pool as the net was already set up. Luke groaned and swam to the other side where Ashton was.

The game began once Ashton served the ball.
