NA, I'm so sorry for the wait! But guess what it's my birthday today so I decided to give you a present...THIS CHAPTER! I know you must hate me for making you wait so long for this up date but here it is now! I hope you enjoy this one. Have a happy Halloween!
Unpacking
When I woke up the next morning, it was raining (as usual). I got out of bed in my super short gray pajama shorts and my blue tank top. It wasn't the warmest thing a person could wear to bed, but if you're from Wisconsin like I am, you would still feel like wearing shorts in 30 degree weather. I brushed my hair and put it into a pony tail, then brushed my teeth. When I went down stairs I saw a little note on the kitchen table. It read,
"Dear Lily,
I've convinced mom and dad to go to Port Angeles for the day so that you and Luke wouldn't be uncomfortable on your date. I know you don't consider it a date but it totally is...Your welcome!
p.s the dish washer needs to be emptied, so you'd better do that before he gets there. Good Luck! Love Charlotte."
I was a little nervous to be in a house alone with Luke, but we're just friends, right? So there's nothing to be nervous about. Absolutely nothing to be nervous about at I ate my breakfast I went to get started on emptying the dish washer. I was halfway done with the top shelf when I realized that emptying the dish washer was totally boring, so I decided to turn on the radio so I could listen to some music while I put the dishes away. I was almost finished when my favorite song, 'I Believe In a Thing Called Love' by the Darkness came on. Once that song came on, I couldn't help myself. I started singing along and dancing around my kitchen like there was no tomorrow. Once I was at the chorus, I started singing so loud and so high pitched that I didn't even hear someone come in. I was holding a wooden spoon and playing the air guitar when I spun around to see Luke staring at me. I was shocked. I was more than shocked. I was petrified. My expression must have been horrible; because once Luke saw it he rushed over to me and said, "Lily! Lily, are you all right? What's wrong? How can I help?"The worry in his eyes touched me a little and I just blushed. I was so embarrassed. There he was worried about me, while I was mortified for being caught singing and dancing with a wooden spoon, in a not so conservative outfit, might I add. Luke got more worried by my silence and then asked again, "Are you ok?"I could only whisper, "How much did you see?""What?"I asked a little louder now, " How. Much. Did. You. See?"He got the message and answered, "Not that much, really. Only the part where you were singing the chorus and playing the Air Guitar."I covered up my face with my hands and started to shake my head and said, "I'm sorry you saw that. You weren't meant to see that! No one was meant to see that!"Luke smiled and said, " Actually I quite enjoyed it...You have a very pretty voice and your air guitar was pretty awesome."I smiled and said, "You're just saying that to be nice.""Oh, no, not at all, I really mean it!" He said with the most dazzling smile I've ever seen him give. It made my knees tremble a little. I collected myself and then something hit me. "Hey Luke, how did you get into my house? I didn't hear the door bell."" Oh! Um...The music must have been so loud that you didn't hear me knocking. I waited a good 5 minutes but then I got worried and let myself in." He looked down shyly as he spoke these words. It was cute, but totally not cute enough to make me shake off the creepiness of it, so I said, "Um, forgive me if I'm wrong but it sounds like you just decided to break in!""Well, I was fearing for your safety! It is, after all, noon. I thought you would be ready, so when you didn't answer, I thought something bad had happened."I blushed and said, "Well, when you put it that way, you make it sound so noble. Thank you for protecting my so valiantly." Then I curtsied and smiled as well and said, "It was my pleasure, my Lady." Then he bowed low like a gentlemen. That made my heart flutter. We both smiled at each other for a couple of I realized that I was totally under dressed. "Oh." I said "What?""I'm still in my PJ's""Really? I didn't even notice.""Seriously? I'm barely wearing anything!""I really don't mind." Then he smiled."Ok, that settles it, I'm going to go change. Wait here, ok?"He nodded in reply. I turned around and went up stairs. I threw on a pair of jeans and a old Styx T shirt and came back down stairs in seconds flat. I saw Luke standing just as he was when I left him. He was like a statue marble; white, frozen, and beautiful. When I entered the room he smiled and said, "I like your shirt!""Really? You like Styx ? Before or after Denis D. Young left?""Oh, before, the man is a song writing genius!"Luke replied with absolute sincerity. As our conversation wore on we discovered how much our taste in music was so similar, but some of my wacky tastes shocked him, like love for punk and opera. Which led to now... "Wow, that really is...diverse! You must really like music. ""Yeah, I do, whenever I have to do something boring I turn on the radio and it makes the task less tedious.""Do you dance to relieve yourself of boredom as well?"I blushed at the thought of this morning and then countered, "Only if the song that I'm listening too is one of my favorites, and only when I'm alone!"He smiled and asked, "What's your favorite song?"" It's a little cheesy, but my all time favorite song is, 'Your Song' by Elton John."He looked surprised and grinned as if a plan was forming in his beautiful head. I was a little suspicious but then I remembered why he was even here, so I said, "Hey, while your here, why don't we get started unpacking?"He smiled widely and said, "You point to what you want lifted and consider it done.""Ok. Well come with me to the attic, that's where we put most of our stuff. I must warn you, my dad staked a lot of boxes on top of each other, so just in case, watch out for falling boxes.""Really, Lily you're looking at the man that saved you from arm-snatching Newton. I think I can handle a few boxes."I looked at him and plainly said, "You're never going to let that go, are you?""Nope, never!" He grinned with a taunting look. I grinned back and we went up stairs to the attic...We finished moving 4 boxes down stairs when I heard a knock at the door. Luke got all tense and his brows furrowed as he said, "This is great! Just wonderful!""Are you alright, Luke?" I asked with confusion washing over my tone. His expression worried me."I'm fine, just a little annoyed.""Ok, as long as your fine." As turned around to get the door, I heard a slight crack and then I saw a box containing all of my mother's glass-ware and my Dad's stainless steel Green Bay Packer lawn ornaments (Which weighs about 600 lb.'s) come hurtling towards me. I let out a huge scream, Luke's head snapped up and his face was one of horror. The next thing I knew, Luke was standing in front of me and stopped the 600 pound box from crushing me by grabbing it on both sides and then sliding it across the room so that the glass wouldn't break. I was stunned. I couldn't comprehend what had just happened. How could he do that? How on earth? I can't even think! Oh...now I'm getting dizzy."Lily! Lily! Are you alright? What's wrong? What can I do? Oh, Lily! "Luke looked so worried; I couldn't even say anything to his questions. I was too disoriented. I looked at him, searching for his face, but it became blurred and then it became a shadow, then, finally I couldn't see him at all...When I regained consciousness I was laying on my bed and Luke was sitting in a chair close to my side. He was looking intently at my face. As soon as he saw that I was conscious he moved closer to me. His hair was slightly askew and his eyes were scared and tender. Then he said, "Lily...I'm sorry if I scared you. I really didn't mean to frighten you that way! You must hate me. I'll totally understand if you never want to see me again."I sat up and really looked at him-he was being serious! So before he could say anything else I asked, "Are you stupid or something?"He looked confused and said, "I don't understand."I was a bit aggravated and then said, "That's it, you're stupid, no doubt about it."He gave me another confused look, so I continued with, "If you think that I would hate the very man that saved me from getting crushed to death by PACKER lawn ornaments, then you really are stupid... I may not know how you did it but I'm too grateful that you saved me to even care!" His eyes brightened and he gently pulled me into a hug and whispered into my ear, "Thank you!" His arms were cold but strong around me. The smell that came off his skin was a sweet and warm and it reminded me of fall, my favorite season. The smell of sweet pumpkin pie, mixed in with the rustic smell of the freshly fallen leaves. It was such a appealing smell that it just drew me closer to him. When I tried to move closer into his hug he pulled away to scrutinize my face. I looked into his honey golden eyes and said, "Your welcome!"He looked at me with the sweetest expression that I've ever seen. It just about made me melt. We stared at each other for a couple of minutes. His eyes were so mesmerizing it took all of my will power to pull away and say, "We should really be getting back to work. We only moved 4 boxes, after all.""Um actually, I moved them all!" Luke looked down shyly and a little bit embarrassed."Really? There were like 20 boxes left! Wow. But we still have to sort them.""Well, I sort of did that too. By color and size." He looked down in a shy way and then looked at me, smiled, and said, "You were knocked out for a while. I was starting to think that you were in a coma. I was just about to call Carlisle when you opened your eyes. "My eyes widened, "How long have I been unconscious?" I asked with a quaky voice."About 2 hours." He said with a shrug."Two hours! Oh, crap! What time is it?" He looked at his beautiful silver watch and said, "Three o'clock. Do you need to be somewhere else?"His eyes started to become saddened by the thought. I quickly remedied it by saying, "Oh, no, I have nowhere to go. But my parents are supposed to be home at about 6 o' clock, so I was just making sure that they don't find you here! My dad might actually shoot you."He considered it for a moment and then said, "Well thank you for warning me. As soon as the clock turns 6 consider me gone...but in the mean time, we should think of something else to do. You know, since we're done.""Huh, good question...I was planning on working all day but since you already finished it, maybe we could watch a movie, talk, or go for a walk. Whichever you prefer."He smiled and then said, "We could go to a movie... Unless that doesn't sound very friend like.""Hmm.""What?""I'm determining whether or not it's a date, because having you here in my house alone sitting on my couch watching a movie sounds pretty date-like, and going out to the movies alone with you also sounds date-like.""Ok, so we could just stay here.""In my bedroom? Alone?""You make a good point. Hey, how about we go over to my place!""Um, I'm not sure that you're grasping the whole 'friend' concept here.""Oh. No, no I didn't mean it like that! I meant that we have a test on Pride and Prejudice next week, and I could use a study partner. So are you in?" I thought about it for a moment and then, seeing his excited expression, I said, "Sure! You know, you still haven't told me anything about your point of view on the book. I've been waiting for days.""Oh, that's right. We'll have plenty of time once we get you aquatinted with everyone.""Um, do you mean that you are going to introduce me to your family?""Yup.""But you don't have to...I already met your parents at the hospital, and I met Jasper and Emmett when they came over with your Dad.""Well that still leaves Rosalie, Alice, Bella, Nessie, and Edward.""Um, who's Nessie?""She's my little sister. A freshman, she goes to the junior high school.""Oh, ok.""Let's go!" As he said these words he sprang to his feet and held out his hand for me. I took it, but then I asked, "Aren't you going to call them to at least warn them that I'm coming? I'd hate to show up there and catch them off guard." He stopped for a moment and then nodded. He then took out a silvery-blue cellphone from his left pocket. He then dialed a number and put the phone to his ear. I heard one ring and then Luke started to speak. "Hi Esme! Um, I was wondering if it would be ok if I brought a friend over to study.""I thought you were on your date today with Lily?" said Esme on the other line. I blushed and then waited to hear more. Luke replied, "Oh, um, Lily is the friend that I will be bringing. We finished with our work a few hours early so we decided to kill time by studding.""Oh, ok. And you need to study at our house why, exactly?" asked Esme "Because he wants to introduce her to all of us." Said a different voice that I couldn't recognize. It sounded like wind chimes or like tiny bells."Is it ok for her to come?" asked Luke impatiently."Why, of course darling, you two can come anytime you want.""Thank you, I'll see you soon," Luke said with a smoothness that was so comforting that I sighed. He hung up the phone and then looked at me, smiled my favorite excited smile and said, "Are you ready?"I thought about it and my thoughts went straight to Bella. Will this make her hate me even more? Will she be offended? Or will this show her that Luke and I are just friends? Even with all of my fears I still said, "Yeah, I'm ready." I am so stupid! I'm not ready! I'm wearing a freaking Styx T shirt and jeans! I shouldn't even be allowed outside, let alone to be introduced to other people! That's it,
I'm screwed!
