A/N : So yet again, I take my good ol time writing. Not really, I've just been so stressed with school work and friend problems that I haven't had time. I wanted to though! So, I'm sorry. I hope I haven't lost many readers though. /

A/N 2 : My beta Vera is cool. Probably the coolest. And yes. She has her own author's note. ;

The movie ended almost two hours ago. We walked around the park for a while and just talked about the summer. I don't think I've talked to anyone for that long in my whole life. It's like she gets me to open up. No one has ever done that before.

Then she made me take her to this little coffee shop across the street from the park for a cup. I bought her a large coffee while I drank tea. We sat there, and I listened to her talk about her interests in music. I know she's a big Bangles fan and loves to listen to U2. I don't know much about them so I think I might call Liz up tomorrow and ask her for some information.

I'm looking up information for this girl? What is going on with me?

While we walked home she said she was cold, and I didn't know what to do because of course I'd left my flannel back at the house. So, I put my arm around her. The girl was cold -- I didn't want her to freeze.

About four houses away from her humongous house for the summer, and I had my arm draped around her shoulders. She looked up at me and she smiles.

Is she smiling because the night is coming to an end or because she's happy I'm here? I wondered.

"You know, Luke, I had a good time tonight," she said, her eyes glistening.

"Me too," I said softly

And as we reached her front step and she looked at me with those damn blue eyes, I had an urge to just kiss her. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and make her feel important. I wanted her to kiss me back and grab onto my shoulders because she wanted to make sure what she's feeling was real. I wanted to kiss her like I've never kissed a girl before.

I wanted to kiss her like if our lips weren't locked, the world would end.

But I didn't. I couldn't. I've known her for 2 days and it doesn't work like this.

Tonight wasn't a date. She told me to get dressed up for other girls. She dressed beautifully for the other guys. Here we are not saying anything but everything at the same time.

I took my arm off her shoulders and got ready to walk down the porch steps. But as my left foot took its first step back, I felt her hand hold my wrist.

Under the moon and stars she looked so much more beautiful then she had in the past two days. And I still wanted to kiss her.

"Thank you for tonight, Luke. I'm glad I have someone to bum around the summer with."

And I couldn't say anything because I realized, just there on her aunt's porch, I don't want to just bum around. I want to be everything with her. I want her to become one of those girls that gives me the eyes. She should be the one that blows me away with her beauty as I pick her up for our dates. It's when I realize that this whole summer can be the most spectacular time of my life or the worst vacation ever. And either way I still lose.

So all I did was nod and say, "Good," and walk off her porch. I gave a small wave and she wrapped her arms around her cold body.

And my urge was still there as I walked through the front door of my aunt's house where it was very dark. It was still there when I went into my room and sat on the bed.

This is where I am now. I'm still lying on this twin size bed and thinking about the this summer's possibilities.

My heart is still fluttering from the feel of her body walking against mine.

Oh man.

It's around 9:30 in the morning when I'm woken up.

I can feel my body being pushed and shoved as I groan from the want of whoever it is to be gone.

"What?" I mumble as I stuff my face into my pillow.

"Cmon! Get up! I want to go visit the city today and you're the only one I know in this stinking town who will go with me!"

And it's her. Lorelai.

Great! I'm still in my jeans from last night and I don't have socks on. Or a shirt for that matter. I'm shirtless with Lorelai in my bed. If my friends from back home could only see me now.

"What the hell? Lorelai?" I turn around and finally get a chance to look at her.

"Good morning, Vietnam!"

"Oh God, not Robin Williams," I say as I pull the covers back over my head.

Wait. Why am I not awake at 9:30? Usually I'm awake and cooking breakfast by 7:30. Maybe it's the lack of responsibility in Philly that I have. And I actually want to go back to sleep? What the hell is wrong with me?

"Lucas! Wake up! Seriously, I want to go downtown and see all the sights." She sits down right next to my mid-section and looks down at me.

Today she is wearing another jean shirt that has sequins around the bottom and a gray cotton long sleeve shirt with the words "RAD" written in black grungy words.

"Aw geez. Do I really have to?" I groan once again, in my mind really screaming Yes! Let's do it!

"Only if you want to," she says, pouting her lips and giving me those sad dog eyes. I knew I had to go, whether I liked it or not.

And she knew my answer once her bottom lip began to pucker.

--

Half an hour later and I'm sitting at the dining room table watching this girl, yet again, drink coffee like it's going out of style.

She places the cup down and looks at me with my bagel in mid-bite.

"So, the plan today is: we take the bus down to the city and we'll to shop for a little bit. There's this place I've heard of called South Street. Apparently it's a big shopping area where all the best clothes in Philly are."

Oh God! Not shopping! I know how hard it is to shop with girls, believe me, I know. I have a little sister that makes me drive her to the mall once a month to get the new in-style clothes. Kill me now!

"No! No way am I going shopping! Last night you made me go to the ridiculous movie in the field thing and today? No. There's no way you're going to get me to go shopping with you."

"And like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, then after that we are going to go to see the Liberty Bell and then Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was written. And for the grand finale everybody? Me and you are going to go this little Italian restaurant and have dinner, my treat."

Ugh. I might as well give in before she pulls out that pouty look again.

"Fine," I groan.

But I know that I actually can't wait to spend the day with this girl.

Summer is almost here and I can't be happier!
