Disclaimer: I don't own Joan Of Arcadia. :( Pretty please don't sue me!
AN: Yeah this chapter's also short. Oh well. If you haven't done so already I have like, another fanfic up called "Forgive Me" that I'd love for you to check out.
Grace woke up to find Luke already awake, stroking her hair as she lay next to him in bed.
She crawls up and kisses him, flashbacks of the night before playing in her mind as technicolor blurs. "That was incredible dude."
"Incredible. It was so… you were so…"
"I know. You too."
They lay there curled up for a few minutes.
"Grace, won't your parents be home?" Luke asked anxiously.
"Um, what time is it?"
Luke rolled over and looked at Grace's clock. "Sevenish."
"Dad's at work already and Mom's crashed out somewhere and won't be up for a few hours."
"Oh."
"Girardi! Your mom!"
"Oh god! I forgot."
Luke pulled out his cell and dallied home, "Mom, it's Luke…. Um yeah that's where I was… yes I'll call next time. … Yes we got it finished… See you after school then."
"Well? "
"Apparently I was at Friedman's. We were studying."
"Phew. Well just so you know I refuse to be nice to Friedman, no matter what he does. My name is not Marge!"
"Whatever. We still owe the guy."
"Yeah, we do I suppose." She couldn't help but smile. "We need to leave. I'd suggest we ditch school but I'm betting you aren't too keen on that idea."
"You bet right." He gives her another kiss. "Come on."
They pulled on some clothes, Luke spending seventeen minutes looking for one of his shoes. Sneaking out of the house they left for school. All the way there they stopped behind trees and bushes for lingering kisses, vaguely aware that they were making themselves late.
All the way there Luke had been preparing himself for their arrival, when he would have to keep his hands off her and act like she wasn't his girlfriend, like he wasn't completely in love with everything about her, like they hadn't just spent the night together.
They got to Joan's locker and she called them over. "Hey Grace, Luke." Adam walked over. "Hey."
The bell rang. Joan and Adam kissed.
"Um, bye then Grace." Luke stumbled, resisting the urge to say anything else.
Grace looked up at Luke, then to Adam and Joan who were waiting for her. She pulled Luke close and whispered in his ear "It was perfect. I love you." Then she kissed him, tongues dancing as they fell into their own world. When they finally pulled back Joan's mouth hung open, paralysed in shock. "Whoa."
Adam saw Joan's face. "Cha Jane, like, so obvious."
Luke smiled. He called Grace back as she was walking away. "For that, um… thanks. I love you too."
"Biology closet, ten fifteen." Grace grinned.
Well what did you think of that? I may do an alternative ending at some point in the future where things aren't quite as simple but for now I wanna leave my vision of this fanfic untainted. Reviews would be much appreciated, Hezzie XXX
