Okay! Luke's POV! Please review guys! Thanks so much!

Luke's POV

I tossed and turned in my bed. All I could think about was Angela and Chase kissing. Why would he just leave Angela like that? On her doorstep? She looked so beautiful. Why do I care so much? Why should it matter to me?

"You're it." I spoke aloud. Why did I say that? What did I even mean? There's just something about her… The way she smiled and her teeth dazzled. The way her eyes gleamed. Or her body. Maybe the way she made me feel when I was around her. I always felt my best. The most amazing Luke there could ever be! Now, without her, I'm nothing.

I sat up in my bed and rubbed my eyes. I missed her sooo much. I wish we could at least talk. Just for a minute! To see if she's okay and if she's happy with him. It'd make everything sooo much better and I won't be going crazy over her! I'll be okay with her and Chase and maybe when I'm in the same room with her, I won't keep staring at her! Selena doesn't have to know. She probably does things all the time that I wouldn't like. I just need to talk to Akari. "Akari…" I sighed.

I didn't know how much longer I could wait. I looked over to my clock to see that it was 3:45 in the morning. I took a deep breath and jumped up from my bed. I pulled on my jeans and a jacket. I was out the door within two minutes. I couldn't wait until morning. I was scared that I'd chicken out. I stopped by the forest to grab another wild red rose and was off.

The stars were bright and the moon was full. There was a light chill. I shivered. I breathed in, then out. I could see my breath, as if it were fog surrounding me. It was getting cold and quick. I continued on my way. My palms were getting sweaty and my heart beat faster and faster with every step I had taken. I was nervous, but I couldn't help but be excited. I couldn't believe I was actually going to talk to her again! I hoped Akari wouldn't be mad. I was scared that she'd tell me to leave. I really did her wrong.

When I came upon Akari's house, I noticed that her lights were still on. I looked in the window to see Akari dressed in a sexy blue gown that went to her thighs. She was in the kitchen, reaching in her cabinets. All sorts of pans fell and made a huge clashing sound. I jumped a little. "Damn it!" She stomped her foot. She bent down and picked up all the fallen pans and sat them on the counter. Her legs looked amazing in that gown! She searched through all the pans. "Still not the right one!" Akari turned around, facing her cabinets, and reached again. I watched as she tip-toed and her tiny hands reached towards a skillet that she couldn't reach. I giggled. She was so cute when she was frustrated. Akari turned towards the window. She must have heard me.

I hid down as fast as I could. I hope she didn't see me. But, didn't I want to talk to her? "Yes, but I didn't want to get looking through the window!" I clasped my hands over my mouth. I looked up to see Akari looking down on me with a shocked expression. I stood up, smiled, and waved. She still looked shocked. I felt my cheeks get hot. I mouthed, "Can I come in?" Her head nodded. I walked around the house to the door. Before I reached it, the door open. The same expression on her face. I looked her up and down, there was no denying how amazing she looked with the little curls in her brown hair. There was a long silence. I wasn't sure what to say. I looked around her house for a bit. This was killing me.

"Umm, hey, Akari! I, Uhh, brought you a rose!" I stretched my hand out towards her. She took it in her hand, "So, have you left any roses on my doorstep by any chance?" I could feel my face getting hot. "Kinda…" I looked back at her. "Akari, I… I was hoping we could talk." "About what?" she spoke as she put the rose in a cup of water. "I'm not really sure… I just miss you…" I walked closer towards her. "Luke, I miss you, too. Can I ask you something first?" she played with her hands. "Yeah, anything." "Why were you spying on me through my window at 4 in the morning?" A playful smile crossed her face. I nervously fiddled with my hands. I was an idiot. "I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about you. I had to talk to you. I thought it'd make everything better. So, I came here. I saw all your lights on and I wanted to make sure you didn't have company or anything." she smiled.

A moment passed before there was anything said. Akari's expression grew concerned. "Luke, what's been wrong? Owen told us that you haven't been yourself lately." I walked over to her table and sat in a chair. She followed. I sighed, "Akari, I just feel…" I looked into her eyes. Her eyes stared back at mine. They seemed to see right through me. "Sad. Like something's missing. I'm not me anymore. Selena drives me crazy. I mean, c'mon, she's a bitch! More importantly, I can't talk to you. You made my life fun. Even for that short time. Something happened to me. I just need you in my life. You're it, Akari. You're what's been missing." I looked down as I fiddled with my hands. Her hand fell on top of mine. "Luke, it's okay. We CAN talk. I'm still going to be mad at you for a while. I mean, you just left me. I was alone and depressed. I was without my best friend. You didn't and don't know how much you mean to me. How important to me you are. You're my best friend and always will be." I looked back to her to see a tear falling from her eye. My heart melted. I kneeled beside her and wiped the falling tears away. "Ohh, Akari! Don't cry! I'm sooo sorry! I never meant to hurt you… I don't know why I did! I thought I loved Selena…" Her expression grew sadder. More tears started to fall. "What is it, Akari? You can tell me."

She backed away from me as she stood up. She wiped her tears from her eyes and adverted her gaze to the window. "Luke… I can't do it again. I can't be friends with you if you're just going to leave me. If you're just going to run back to Selena and ignore me! I can't! it hurts too much! Luke, you have no idea how I feel about you. You never will! Why do you have to be with Selena? She treats you like shit! And you STILL sleep with her! Why do you have to be so stupid? Why can't you see -" She stopped. My body stiffened for a moment. I really had hurt her. All because of Selena. "Akari…" I whispered. I walked closer to her. I wiped away her many fallen tears. I held her face in my hands. "Akari, I never meant to hurt you, honest. There's not a minute that passes by and I don't think of you. There's something strange going on with me. I thought that if I'd talk to you, it'd be over with. But, it just grows stronger and stronger. From the way it sounds," I smiled. "You feel the same way." "Luke, I-"

I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know what gave me the idea. I just had to. I held her face and brought my lips towards her. We kissed. Not just a peck, but an actual kiss. My heart started pounding and my stomach did back flips. After a few seconds she wrapped her arms around my back. I moved my hands from her face and ran my fingers through her hair and along her back. I couldn't stop kissing her. Nothing has ever felt so right. It was so soft and soothing. I don't think she could help it either. I could feel tears form in my eyes out of joy and happiness. I pulled her in closer to me. Our bodies seemed to fit perfectly beside each other. Like we were missing puzzle pieces. The kissing got more passionate. Her breath grew harder and faster. It was getting intense. We kissed and kissed. She started walking, but never breaking our kiss. As she walked, and kissed me, she unzipped my jacket and pulled it off. I felt her smile through our kiss as her hands wondered playfully around my chest.

We walked closer to her bed. She laid me down, lit some candles, and turned off the lights. Aromas of lavender and vanilla circulated us. Akari got on top of me and took off her gown. I really hope this isn't a dream.

The sun began to shine through the curtains, as I lay on Akari's bed. She's sound asleep with her body intertwined with mine. Her skin was so smooth. I ran my hand gently over her fragile little body. I was exhausted from last night. It couldn't have been anymore perfect! I smiled to myself. My heart felt like melted butter as I lied there watching her sleep. Her breath smelled so sweet and her breathing was so calming. I could feel my heart beat faster. She was so dreamy. How come I've never seen this before? She was perfect! I really must be an idiot.

I pulled her closer to me and started kissing her ear gently. I watched as a smile grew over her face. She was still fast asleep. She looked so peaceful. I looked around her little house and how beautiful it was outside her window. I looked back to her. Breath taking. I definitely could get use to this! I smiled once more. I laid my head beside hers and tried to fall back asleep. Reality was finally better than my dreams!

Failing, I got up out of bed, as gently as I could. I gave Akari a kiss on the forehead and brushed the hair out of her face. I slipped my clothes back on and made my way towards her kitchen. I grabbed the skillet that Akari was reaching for last night. I laughed thinking about her reaching for it last night. I found some eggs, cracked them open, and poured them into the skillet. I cut up a little spinach to put in mine. I was hoping it wouldn't be too loud and wake Akari. I looked over to her and saw that she was still sleeping.

Once the eggs were done, I popped some toast into the toaster and made some toast. I sat the two plates on her table with eggs and bacon. I found two glasses and set them out with Sunny D. Akari was still sleeping, so, I walked outside to find some flowers. I looked around her house to find some blue mist flowers. I pulled them from the ground and brought them inside. I filled a vase with water from under her sink and placed them on the middle of the table. I looked back to her and watched as her eyes began to open. Perfect timing! I walked over to her and looked down at her. "Good morning, Beautiful." I leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss. She smiled. "Did last night really happen? I thought I just dreamed it!" I grinned. "Yep! It was amazing, too!" I laced my fingers with hers. She stretched and got out of bed. I watched as she stood up. Her body was beautiful. Her curves were perfect. She smiled and her cheeks grew red. She slipped her gown back on while avoiding my eyes. She was embarrassed! How cute! "Are you hungry?" "I'm starving!" "Good!" I picked her up bridal style and carried her to the kitchen table. I carefully placed her down in a chair. She laughed the whole way.

"I forgot how much I missed you picking me up like that!" she said in between chews. "WOW! You're an amazing cook, too! You're going to have to cook for me more often!" I laughed. "Anything for you." Akari continued eating, but with each bite, her smile faded. "Akari, are you okay?" I placed my hand on top of hers. "We had sex, right?" spoken with a tone of hurt and anger. "Yeah, it was great! Why? What is it?" I was really getting worried. "I wasn't your first. You slept with Selena. Did you… did you just use me?" she glared at me. "Akari, NO! you were my first! Selena and I have never. She's always wanted to, but I just couldn't." She slammed her hands on the table and stood up. "You LIAR! Selena told everyone at Toby's how great it was! I can't believe you!" She ran to the bathroom and slammed it shut.

"Akari, Wait! We never had sex! Don't you know how Selena is? She was so scared that we were going to, well, do this. Hahaha! She couldn't stand you! She was going to do anything to upset you! Don't you wonder why I got up and left? I was scared to say anything, because… I was jealous. I really didn't want to hear or see Chase kiss you again. I hated it. It killed me! My heart fell to pieces! You have to believe me, Akari!" I started to knock on the door. I fell to my knees. "Akari, please…" The door opened and I fell to my back. She laughed her angelic laughed. She bent down and kissed me. My heart melted. I opened my eyes to see her gazing into my eyes. Then, she tickled me. She sat on top of me and tickled my sides. "Akari, stop it! Hahahaa!" "Nope! You have the most adorable smile when you get tickled! I can't just stop!" I laughed and laughed. I couldn't take it anymore. I forced myself up and picked her up. I twirled her around for a minute and laid her on the bed. I sat over top of her and started tickling her. "Hahahah! Luke! Hahaa! STOP!" "Ohh, no! I can't Akari! Look at that cute smile! I can't just stop!" I said, mocking her.

We wrestled and tickled each other for a little while, until, we heard a knock on the door. We stared at each other. Who could it be? Akari pushed me off of her and threw on her robe that only went a little below her thighs. It better not be some guy like Gill, or Chase. Even though, Chase was her boyfriend. WAS. "Luke, hide!" I hid underneath the bed and watched as Akari went to the door. It was Chase. "Hi, Chase! What are you doing here?" He looked her up and down. Then smiled. Asshole. "Hey, Akari." He stared at her legs. I could feel the anger start to build up inside me. "I was wondering if you'd like to get some lunch?" Still looking at her legs. "Lunch? Well, Chase, I got up late and I still have to do some chores around here. Maybe another time?" He looked her up and down once more and stopped at her chest. This was seriously starting to piss me off. "Akari, last night you said you weren't ready to do anything with me, but look at you! Why are you looking so damn hot?" he moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. He was going in for a kiss. She blocked it. YES! "Uhh, Thanks, Chase! I really need to go! See ya!" she shut the door before he could say anything.

She looked out the little peep hole in the door for what seemed like hours. When she turned around, I came out from under her bed. We sat on her bed for a while. I placed my arm around her back and pulled her close. She laid her head on my shoulder. "I can't believe the way he looked at you." I clenched my fists. She looked up at me with those gorgeous eyes. "Are you jealous, Lukey?" I turned away. "We need to tell them." She sat up. "I know. It's going to crush Chase. Selena's going to be pissed!" I wrapped both arms around her and kissed her lips. "I know, but you're sure as hell worth it."

Unexpected? It's a bit sooner than I wanted it to happen, but it's my favorite chapter! I just love Luke and Akari! I tried doing it in Luke's Point of View like "Thy Entertainer" suggested! Tell me what you think! Don't be afraid to review! Thanks!
