baby girl - l.h

The familiar scent of strawberries lingered on the soft fabric pillows. I sighed as I squinted over at my alarm clock. "Shit" I half gasped, realizing I was late. It was 8:37 and I only had 23 minutes to get to work. Hauling up my jeans and pulling on a Thrasher shirt before I stumbled through the bathroom, checking my appearance in the mirror. I furrow my eyebrows in disgust, I didn't have time to put any makeup on, or fix my hair nicely. It was now ten and I had missed the bus so my only option was to walk. I opened up my contact list and clicked on my boss.

"H-hello" I stutter hearing a familiar sigh on the other end. 

"Olivia, why aren't you at work?" My boss booms

"I slept in" I bluntly reply feeling the cool air ripple across my legs.

"Slept in?! Consider yourself fired" He yells down the line at me before a distinctive beep at the end indicating he had hung up. 

I had been walking around for five minutes and it had already begun raining heavily, every inch of my body shivered violently due to the weather. 

"Are you okay?" A voice asks concerned "you're shivering really bad." I turn to see a tall blonde boy with a lip ring in all black, rain dripping from his hair and a jacket in his hand. I was afraid to speak in fear that no words could be formed "My names Luke." 

I sheepishly accepted his jacket by nodding, he gave the sweetest smile and wrapped the fabric around my shoulders. 

"What's your name?" He asks, I could sense his intoxicating eyes on me.

"O-Olivia." I manage, looking up at him curiously. 

"Well Olivia, would you like to get a coffee or something to warm up?" He suggests, I could hardly make out his features in the now blinding heavily rain.

"Um, sure." I swallow hard.

"You really don't remember me, do you?" He asks with a slight laugh, causing me to furrow my eyebrows at him, "We used to go to school together, we were in the same English class" He blushes at his remembrance. 

"Luke? Luke Hemmings?" I ask as the memories come flooding back, "oh shit I didn't recognize you with the hair and the lip ring" I now blush but feeling the rain seep through my jeans unsettle me.

"So that coffee? Maybe you should come to my place since I haven't got any cash on me" scratching the back of his neck, his voice grows hoarse over the roaring weather. 

"Yeah, let's get going I'm going to catch my death out here." I giggle nervously as he links our arms and guides me by his side. I admit, now looking back on things I used to have the biggest crush on this boy, but I never had the guts to ask him out or even look at him.  

By the time we reached Luke's place I was soaked to the core and I couldn't move without shivering. His place was huge and spacious, leading me through into the bedroom he helped me sit down. "You need some dry clothes." He frowns looking at my quaking body before rummaging in his drawers, why was he doing this? "Here." He smiles setting down what looked like a flannel shirt and a pair of boxers. 

"Thank you." I half smile as he instantly whips off his shirt, his body was slightly damp enchanting his abs, taking my breath away with his perfection. "W-where is the bathroom?" I ask feeling the dryness encase my throat.

"Just through here." He gestures flexing the muscle in his arm as he points it out. 

"T-thanks." I say again, my eyes locked on his torso as I rise up from the bed and enter the en suite bathroom. Instantly stripping off and checking my appearance in the mirror, admittedly I still had feelings for him even after 3 years maybe more so then now. Pulling on the boxers using them as shorts and underwear at the same time taking off the panties I already had on, I didn't wear my bra considering it was soaked through so there I was looking at myself in Luke's bathroom mirror in only his flannel shirt and boxers as if I we were together.
