luke walked into the pizzeria slightly out of breath. his eyes searched around the small restaurant, a smile curling onto his lips when they landed on the girl luke had desperately wanted to see. he quickly made his way over, sitting down in front of her which made her look up and smile. "hi," he breathed out, his smile only growing.
"hi." she said back softly, her head glancing back at the counter. "i got a large cheese pizza, i figured cheese was the safest option." she giggled, the sound being music to luke's ears.
he nodded, sitting his phone flat onto the table, turning all of his attention to the girl across the table. "cheese is fine with me." he agreed. "i'm really glad you asked to talk, i feel like last night i didn't give you a chance to talk. which i'm very sorry for, by the way."
she shot him a thankful glance, a girl bringing over a pizza and sitting it down in front of the pair. "thank you," sam spoke softly, the girl simply shooting sam a smile before walking away. "gosh, i feel like i'm starving."
luke nodded, grabbing two of the plates, handing one to her before sitting his own in front of him. he grabbed a slice, laying it on the plate and watched as sam did the same. "before i forget, management added a spot back on the schedule in a few weeks." he started, taking a bite of the pizza.
"really? where at?" she asked, wiping her mouth after swallowing the pizza that practically melted in her mouth.
he hummed, swallowing before speaking up. "denver, its on our way back towards LA, where our tour will end." her entire demeanor perked up, an excited smile on her lips.
"wait, really?"
"mhm." luke confirmed. "i figured the two days we're there you could catch up with your mom." her heart warmed at the thought of luke thinking of her, and thinking of how she must miss her family.
"i'm so excited." she gushed, a wide grin spread across her lips which made luke happy. "we can come back to this, we really need to talk about last night."
his smile faltered a little, his nerves getting the best of him as he prepared for the worst. "okay,"
she rested her hands on the table, looking over at him with an unreadable expression. "last night, you ran before i could even say anything, luke." she said softly, a small frown on her lips.
the air around them grew tense due to the new topic of conversation, his head nodding slightly at her words. "it wasn't fair to not let me say my peace before deciding for me."
his head dropped to look down at the table in shame. he was disappointed in himself, for not hearing her out and for making her feel like this. "i miss you too, luke." her voice was so quiet he almost missed it, but he didn't. he snapped his head up, a hopeful glint shining in his pretty blue eyes. "i miss you like fucking crazy." she breathed out, luke's heart hammering against his chest.
"you're all i can think about, you're all i can see. you make me want to be better, you make me better, lu." she sighed, shaking her head a little. "i miss you all the time, when i'm laying in bed, when i'm taking a shower, even when i'm doing nothing. i miss us before things got super messy, before arzaylea."
luke winced at her name, knowing all too well that she was what put the biggest wedge between the two. "luke, i came out here, i came on tour, to be with you." he couldn't deny that her words sent him to the moon, but he kept quiet so she could talk. he got to say what he wanted to, so it was her turn.
"i'm just so terrified that if i let you back in, history will repeat itself for the third time. i can't feel that way again, i can't hurt myself over and over." she admitted, a flush coating her cheeks as she fiddled with her fingers from her anxiety. "yet, i can't seem to stay away either. every time i see you, all i want to do is just kiss you over and over until i have to pull away to breathe."
he waited, listening closely to every word she spoke so intently. "i need you, lu." her eyes began to water which caused her to pause and wave at her face. "i can't do this here, i'll start crying. i thought i could, but—"
"excuse me!" luke called out to the counter where a man glanced over. "can we get a to-go box, please?"
it took around two minutes for the box to be given to them and they placed the pizza inside. once it was done, they made their way back towards the hotel. after getting to her room, they both took a seat on the couch so they could talk in complete privacy.
"go on," he urged. "its a safe space here, sam."
she nodded, taking a deep breath as she tried to pinpoint where she was. "okay, i was saying, i need you. i need you just to get through the day, i need you to hug me and make me feel at home so i don't constantly feel homesick. you make me feel like i'm home." she started, her eyes growing cloudy as she tried her best to keep her emotions inside. "i hate that we've lost so much time, luke. in a couple months, i'll be busy with school and you'll be back in the studio. we won't have much time to spend together."
"i know, and i'm such an idiot, sam. i can admit that, i should've put you first, i should've spent more time loving you instead of pushing you away. for that, i am so fucking sorry. i don't mean to be selfish, but i do it over and over." luke said gently, reaching out to brush a loose strand of hair from her eyes. "i hate seeing you cry, yet i keep making you cry."
"i hate being mad at you, lu." she sniffled, looking over at him, her teary eyes breaking luke's heart right in half. "i miss you."
"i miss you more." he promised. she sighed, leaning over to collapse against luke's chest, his arms immediately holding her tight. the feeling of them being in one anothers arms felt like it was right, like it was meant to be.
"don't go anymore." she pleaded, tucking her face into luke's chest. he let out a soft sigh, looking down at her as he gently twirled her hair around his fingers.
"i'm never leaving you again, sam." he whispered, her head tilting up to look at him which drove him absolutely crazy. she looked like an angel, his personal angel. "if i could, we'd stay here forever."
her eyes flickered from his to his lips, him immediately noticing. when her eyes met his again, he started leaning down towards her. her breath hitched as her head tilted up, their lips brushing before finally pressing together.
they stayed just how they were, arms and legs tangled together as their lips moved slowly together in sync. everything about this moment was perfect, exactly for them. they broke apart to suck in oxygen before their lips were right back where they belonged.
luke gently laid her back against the couch, hovering over her as his lips landed back on hers, their bodies molding together like puzzle pieces. luke swiftly tugged his own shirt off after feeling her hands tug at it, her hands fumbling with the buttons of her button up, successfully getting it off as she laid there in a bra under him.
"you are so beautiful." he whispered to her, taking a moment to take in the sight of her. "so fucking beautiful." he mumbled, trailing kisses down her jaw and neck before making his way back to her lips.
their kiss became a little more heated as desperation to feel the other closer took effect. she wiggled her shorts off as he struggled but got his jeans off, their bodies only disconnected by thin undergarments.
when his fingers brushed against her panties, her breath hitched, a smirk curling onto luke's face as he broke from their kiss. when the soft little whine left her at the loss of contact, luke felt absolutely proud. even if nothing came of this tomorrow, he got to say she was his, even just for a night. that was plenty good enough for luke.
his fingers dipped under the material, gently running up and down her slit teasingly. she groaned at the tease, bucking her hips up slightly. he finally dove his fingers between her lips, rubbing gentle little circles around the sensitive bundle of nerves. she breathed out a soft moan, his body heating up at the sound. he wanted to hear it over and over, and he intended to follow through with that.
"lu," she suddenly spoke up, luke's eyes snapping up to meet hers. they were dark with lust, which only drove luke crazier. "we have forever to take things slow, but for the love of God." she whispered, her chest rising and falling quickly. "just, fuck me." she begged, luke nodding his head fast as he sat up, slipping his boxers off and reached for his pants, pulling his wallet out. he dug through it before pulling out a condom, causing sam to chuckle at him.
"what?" he asked, a smile locked on his lips.
"nothing, just always have been and always will be a fuckboy." he rolled his eyes at her, causing her to giggle softly.
"only you would giggle when we're about to have sex." he teased, her shaking her head at him as another giggle escaped. once he had the condom rolled on and was standing ready, he turned to face her. "are you ready?" he asked, growing nervous which was new for him.
she nodded her head, smiling slightly at him with a soft aura around her. "yes, lu." she whispered, his head nodding before he leaned over her, lining himself up at her entrance. he pushed past the resistance, groaning softly when he made it halfway inside the girl.
she dropped her head back against the couch, sighing out in satisfaction as he slowly continued pushing until he was completely buried inside of her. he gave her a second to get used to him before he pulled back slowly and rocked his hips forward gently. she let out a little pant, luke's eyes locked onto her face as her eyes shut in satisfaction.
after taking a few thrusts to let her adjust, he pulled back slowly before slamming his hips forward. the sudden change of pace caused her body to arch, a soft cry of his name tumbling from her lips.
his ego jumped from being the one to make her sound like that. he kept his pace quick and rough, her body trembling at the overwhelming feeling of pleasure rolling through her. "oh god, luke." she whined, luke's lips tilted up as he watched every bliss ridden expression cross her face.
he knew he wouldn't last much longer, just in the vicinity of this girl causing him to grow close. his hand moved to flick his thumb against the special bud, her eyes snapping open in surprise. "feel good?" he panted, her head nodding as her eyes fluttered shut once more.
he knew she was growing close, just from the way her legs began to tremble under him. he was proud he was the one making her feel this way, relishing in the pride the flooded him. he watched as her body twitched a few times before finally her back arched with a loud cry of his name, signaling she finally reached her peak.
just in time, he thought to himself as his thrusts grew sloppy and needy, finally growing to his climax right behind her. a few more thrusts was all it took before he let out a groan, releasing into the condom that was buried deep inside her.
their movements stilled, both taking a second to come down from their massive high, pants being the only sound in the empty hotel room.
luke slowly pulled out, chuckling when she winced at the overwhelming feeling. he stood, carefully pulling the condom off before he tossed it in the bin.
the two were silent, no words needing to be exchanged as he curled up behind her on the couch and tugged her into his chest. her soft breathing signaled to luke that she had actually fallen asleep, a chuckle leaving his lips as he pressed a soft kiss to the side of her head, laying his head down and closed his eyes.
"i love you," he whispered into the silent room, letting himself then fall into the best slumber he had in a long time.
