Teenage Dream

You think I'm pretty without any makeup on

You think I'm funny when I get the punchline wrong

I know you get me so I let my walls come down

We can dance until we die

You and I will be young forever

You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on

I can't sleep. Let's run away and don't ever look back.


Most of the cast, apart from Gabrielle and Brian decided to go dancing to celebrate their time off. Luke had gone with Jason to grab drinks for the table. Jennie was beside Ian in hysterics as she listened to his jokes.

Luke arrived, plopping himself down beside her on the couch, and handed her a drink.

"Thank you." She smiled sweetly. He shot her a nod. "So... are we ever going to talk about, you know?"

"What?"

"The kiss..."

"Oh right." He pretended to ponder. "So, when's the next one?" He joked

"Do you want there to be a next one?" She sassed

"Mmhmm." He moaned with a cheeky grin and she observed him.

"...Is this gonna turn into another bathroom stall joke?"

"Only if you want it to." He smirked

He always managed to make her blush. "This isn't happening." She chuckled, shaking her head.

"What?" Luke remained nonchalant as usual.

Jennie folded her arms, playfully attempting to sound serious. "I don't hook up."

"Who said anything about a hook up?" He smirked again

She looked down at the floor, smiling before turning back to face him, "Listen... I know myself. I like a bad boy. But now I want someone who's gonna treat me nice. So I can't be running around casually kissing guys that are..." She paused as she began to describe him. "smart, funny, and... so fucking beautiful." She shook her head, and he laughed

"Okay but what if I look like a bad boy... that's gonna treat you well." He leaned forward seductively

She placed her hand on his chest, keeping him at an arms length literally. "Look." She said seriously, "I think you're great. You're such a cool, kind, caring guy... but we work together."

Luke leaned back and nodded

"Yeah... I get it." He sighed

She worried about it getting awkward between them but just then he grabbed her hand and took her drink out of the other to place it on the table.

"Let's dance." He decided, pulling her up off the couch.


By the end of the night, almost everyone apart from Luke and Ian were drunk. While Ian drove Shannen and Tori to Tori's house, Luke drove Jason and Jennie home. Once he dropped off Jason, he proceeded to take Jennie home, making sure she got home safe.

He wrapped his arm around her, helping her as she stumbled to her front door.

"Oh my god, it was such a fun night!" She rejoiced once they were up the couple of steps

"Yeah it was." He now stood behind her, hands in his pockets, smiling as he gazed at her.

They remained outside her door, as she fiddled with her keys. An intoxicated Jennie found it difficult to resist him, even though she had told him earlier that night that nothing could ever happen between them - right before dancing with him all night. They hadn't left each other's side.

"Damn it." She rested her head back on the door "Why are you so sexy?"

A coy smile escaped his lips. He tried to play it cool but he was feeling flustered on the inside "I should get you drunk more often." He joked.

She was just about to slip as her heels made her wobble but he caught her. Holding onto her, her fingers entwined in his, and they both stared at their hands - neither wanted to let go.

After a beat, she breathed out slowly and leaned forward to brush her lips against his

At first, he succumbed to her touch, his desire for her made him unable to stop himself from allowing her to deepen the kiss.

He then pulled away, tilting his head to the side. He closed his eyes, slightly frustrated with himself. "I'm not gonna kiss you."

She looked up at him with those glistening big blue eyes.

"If you wake up tomorrow, sober, and still want to kiss me, then I'll kiss you." He assured before kissing her on the cheek and walking to his car.

He then waited to watch her head inside before driving off.


Jennie had gone to visit her family and had just arrived back a week later. It didn't take long for Jennie to reach out to Luke and meet up. After chatting away on the phone for days, they found they shared many common interests - one being camping. Before they knew it, they were planning away, bringing all the things they loved to do in the midwest to California. And they agreed on the perfect spot to set up camp.

Luke had picked Jennie up in his truck and they head down to the beach. After deciding between Santa Monica and Malibu, they settled on Malibu.


The tent was up, and Jennie had set up a little picnic. Luke brought the wine out and they nested there, enjoying the scenery and each other's company. They had no idea what they were or what they were doing but they loved being together.

"It's so beautiful here." Jennie leaned back on one of her cushions and embraced where she was in the moment. "Sometimes I can't believe I'm still here." She chuckled

"I know what you mean..." He nodded, "When you grow up the way we grew up you think this shit isn't possible. And the people around you make sure you know it."

"Yeah... Everyone thought we were crazy when my mum and I came over here when I was fresh outta high school. But I didn't care. My dad told me I could do it if I wanted to, and I was such a daddy's girl." She smiled to herself. Luke watched her as she lit up when talking about her father

"You must miss him." He assumed

"Yeah... he hasn't been doing too well health-wise. So I just want to help my family out as much as I can."

"I'm sure they appreciate it."

"You close with your dad?" She asked

"My stepdad, yeah. My uh dad... he wasn't so good to my mum. And all I ever wanted to do was protect her."

"I'm sorry." Jennie squeezed his hand. It felt so easy to open up to one another - it felt like they were talking to someone they had known their whole life as they began sharing personal details of their lives.


"Thanks." She said as he poured her some more wine. "This whole night has been unforgettable."

They toasted their drinks and he wrapped his arm around her.

They started feeling extremely comfortable around each other as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"This feels nice." She murmured. He lowered down to kiss her head, and caught a whiff of her shampoo.

"Hmmm." He closed his eyes, as they enjoyed how strong their connection had become at this point.

After resting there in silence as she leaned on him, Jennie finally spoke.

"Luke..." She began

"Yeah?" He whispered

"I'm sober." She stated

"The wine's right there." He chuckled

"No." She tilted her had back to look up and stare into his eyes. "I'm sober... and I still want to."

Luke let out a breath as he gazed at her. His lips, hovering over hers, slightly parted, finally found hers.


Mature

His hand that was wrapped around her cradled her chin as he lifted it up for his tongue to enter her mouth. What started off as a slow, passionate kiss soon became an intense embrace. From their sitting position, they both leaned up onto their knees as their hands explored each other's bodies.

"Do you have protection?" She asked and he exhaled heavily, really grateful at this moment that he had a pack in his wallet. He nodded, and their lips crashed onto each other.

Panting as they gripped onto one another, they desperately undressed each other, eager to remain engulfed in the kiss. They stood up, as he pulled down her pants and she took off his tee shirt. She then helped him unbutton his jeans and observed the view, causing her to breathe heavily.

He enthusiastically rushed to take off her top. Unable to hold it any longer after unhooking her bra, he swallowed a gulp and cupped her breasts and forced his head in between them - his mouth traveling along her chest, devouring every inch of her breasts. She held onto his head as her head fell back from the sensation.

His mouth then traveled south until he reached her underwear. His fingers caressed her hips, worshipping her curves before pulling her underwear down slowly. Panting from arousal, he gawked at her before engulfing her in between her legs. She moaned out as his tongue entered her down there. He ravaged her until she reached orgasm. She screamed as she gripped onto his hair. She then looked down at him and, without missing a beat, lowered herself down onto the picnic blanket. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him over to her.

Once he settled over her, he pushed his way in between her legs and forced his member into her. She yelped with pleasure as she felt him throbbing inside her. His body slumped over her. Desperate to kiss her, his lips collapsed onto hers. As their bodies moved as one, they felt so in tune with one another.

"Fuck." He mumbled under his breath as his lips brushed along her jawline to her cheek. "You're so fucking perfect." He tried to get the words out with a heavy breath. He so seduced by the sensation of being inside her, he could barely speak.

His fingers trailed along her cheek, down to her collarbone, and the effortlessness of his touch was so captivating, she could barely breathe, craving more, wanting to give herself to him completely. The way his fingertips controlled her body with his subtle touch was enough to drive her wild.

"Oh Luke." She cried as his mouth then hungrily ravished her neck.

As the pace got faster, his hand cupped the back of her neck, letting his fingers become entangled in her hair. She began to moan louder as he thrusted harder into her. "Oh baby." He groaned as they fell into a daze.

"I love the sound when you groan." She hummed, and as their writhing bodies moved together in a sweaty, blurry environment, the air between them became clouded with their inhalations. The intense rhythm of their bodies entwined led to excruciating pleasure, and they finally climaxed with synchronized moans.


"What you been up to over the break?" Marla began as she did Luke's hair for their next photo shoot. "I saw the picture of you and a certain blonde at the beach."

Luke can't contain his giddily expression

"Look at you, grinning like a cheshire cat! You like her, huh?"

"Yeah I do." Luke breathed out. "She's just, she's so sweet and bubbly yet really fun and up for anything. There's a spontaneity, a vibrance about her... she's this humble girl-next-door and yet is this bad ass - grab a drill and fix some shit up - country girl."

"Sounds like you've given this some thought" Marla concluded

"Yeah... I love spending time with her." He then turned in his chair to look at her, "I just feel this pull... We have this crazy connection and I think I might be..." He then turned back around and shook his head. "-Nah I can't even say it. I don't know what I'm feeling. I'm trying not to be impulsive."

"You're falling, huh?" Marla chuckled

"...It's a little scary to think about and I'm not sure I'm ready to." Luke bit his lip

"What do you mean?" She asked

"Well on one hand I'm thinking I need to be focused on my career. We're about to enter the big leagues and I can't handle a commitment just yet. And on the other... i think, God, that's just what I want, you know. To fall madly in love with someone and have a partner. Someone to hold down the fort and keep me grounded. But an actress? A beautiful actress whom everyone wants a piece of? I don't know if I could handle my woman getting all this adulation."

"Luke, you're barely 25 years old..." She laughed. "You don't need to be thinking about being anyone's husband or anything like that. Just date around, if you click, you click."

"That's just it, the chemistry is there." Luke assured

"So enjoy it. If I was your age again, I'd have made the most of it. You're young and you're about to be doing pretty well for yourself with this new season coming up."


Before you met me, I was alright but things were kinda heavy

You brought me to life

Let's go all the way tonight, no regrets, just love

My heart stops when you look at me, just one touch

Now baby I believe this is real

So take a chance and don't ever look back
