Chapter 3

When Luke woke up the next morning, he did so with a huge smile on his face. Looking at his alarm clock, he was shocked to see it was already 11 am. He hadn't slept in that late in a really long time.

Sitting up, he rubbed the sleep from his eyes before getting out of bed and stepping into the bathroom.

He went through his morning routine of shower and breakfast, before grabbing the phone and disappearing into his room to call Maddie. Knowing Maddie she already had her packing done by now, so she was free to chat with him about all the details from the night before.

"And?" Was the first thing she said when picking up the phone and Luke couldn't help but laugh.

"Why hello Maddie, good morning to you too" Luke said with a smile.

"Yeah yeah, good morning. What happened after I left?"

Luke sat down on his bed and leaned back against his cushions to get comfortable. Phone calls with Maddie tended to take a while and especially now that they had something so big to talk about.

In the 2 years since Luke had come out as being gay, he had not once met someone that he liked and that actually liked him back. So far Luke had had a crush on two guys and both of them were straight and wanted nothing to do with him after he told them how he felt.

So Maddie was happy to know that he had had such a good time. Sure he needed a little push, or more like a big shove, but she couldn't blame him. She would be cautious too after the way the last two guys treated him.

"So you had a good time?"

"Yeah, I had an amazing time. We just sat there and talked for most of the night. And we even held hands through most of the time"

"You held hands? On a first sort of date. Go Luke!" Maddie said and Luke couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm.

"He told me something personal about his family, something that wasn't easy for him to share and before I knew it I was holding and squeezing his hand. I tried to pull away, but he wouldn't let me, so we just kept our hands joined"

"That's great Luke, I'm really happy for you"

"Thanks, I'm thinking I might go back to the bar this week and see if I can find him again"

"You are. That's great, I guess he made quite an impression on you. Are you sure all you did was talk and hold hands?"

Not for the first time that weekend, Luke was glad that Maddie couldn't see him blushing. He must have went silent for too long, because Maddie immediately picked up on it.

"Luke? What else happened?"

"Well, when I left, I mean when I was about to leave because I had to get home in time, he sort of went with me to the door and then he… we… he kissed me" Luke ended stammering.

"Oh my God, Luke!" Maddie exclaimed and Luke quickly pulled the phone away from his ear to prevent permanent damage.

"Maddie, calm down!"

"But, this is awesome. Luke that was your first kiss, how did it feel?"

"What kind of question is that?"

"Well, did you like it, was he a good kisser. Come on, I want details! Nothing turns a girl on more then two guys making out"

Luke laughed, but knew he could trust Maddie to keep his secrets, so he took a deep breath and answered.

"It was amazing. I mean, I know it was my first kiss and all so I don't have absolutely anything to compare it with, but… if that's how a kiss feels all the time then I say bring it on"

Maddie chuckled and heard Luke do the same.

"That's great sweetie, I'm really happy for you. And now? I mean, you said you were going back to the club to see if he'd be there again, did you not write down phone numbers or something?"

"No, we didn't. I don't know why exactly, just never came up and in all honesty I was on too much of a high to even think about it. I guess I just have to hope he'll be back there again next weekend. Too bad you won't be able to come with me that. I have you to thank for all of this"

"Oh, don't be silly. You would have met someone had you been there alone"

"Maybe, but you were the one that went up to Noah and got him over to talk to me. So thank you Mads, I owe ya"

"You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. Now… as much as I am loving our talk on the phone, you need to get your butt over here so we can do a proper goodbye before I leave in an hour. So, put down the phone and hurry on over"

"Okay, I'll be right there. Love you"

"Love you too"

Luke hung up the phone and went downstairs to find his father in the kitchen feeding Ethan.

"Morning dad. Is it okay if I go by Maddie's? She's leaving for Wesleyan in an hour and I want to go say goodbye"

"Sure son, just make sure to take your keys because your mom and me are taking the girls and Ethan here shopping for the new school year"

"Okay, I will. Thanks" Luke grabbed his keys and jacket, kissed his baby brother and then dashed out the door to see Maddie for the last time in a while.
