---Later That Evening---

"Wow, did you see that lift?" Jamie asks in amazement. We were sitting in our room watching dance movies like the little dance geeks we are when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," I say and stand up. I open the door to reveal a smiling Luke holding a...cactus? "Hey Luke," I smile.

"Hey Kat."

"Whatcha got there?" I ask gesturing to the cactus.

"Oh, right! Well, you always make fun of me for being cheesy and cliché so I thought why not be unpredictable and bring you a cactus," he says and holds it out to me. I smile widely and take it from him.

"Well thank you, I've always loved succulents," I say as I place it on my dresser next to the door. He laughs when I say succulents and I give him a look.

"What? It's a funny word. Succulents. It sounds like suck your lentils," he says which makes all three of us laugh.

"You're so weird," I laugh and he pouts. "But that's a good thing. Normal is boring." His grin returns and I can't help but giggle at the adorable face he's making.

"I was hoping to talk to you," he brings the conversation back on track.

"What? You didn't just come here to bring me a succulent?" I joke and he laughs.

"Believe it or not, no. Are you busy? Should I come back?"

"No, no, we're just watching dance movies. Jamie I'll be back," I say.

"Yeah yeah, shhh. Just remember to use protection," she says while still looking at the screen. Luke and I both laugh to cover up the awkwardness of her statement.

"Yeah, okay then I'll see you later." I tell Jamie as I step out of our dorm, closing the door behind me. "What's up?" I ask. He takes my hand in his, lacing his fingers through mine. I smile at the gesture.

"So I was thinking..." he starts and then pauses as we begin to walk.

"I was thinking too. If sandwich bread is square, why is packaged meat round? Are they trying to make it difficult for us?" I ask and he laughs loudly.

"That's such a good point. I'm totally OCD when it comes to making sandwiches. I can't have it hanging over the sides."

"Same!" I laugh.

"Any way...I was just thinking how I had a really great time last night," he says as he uses his other hand to scratch the back of his neck.

"I had a great time too," I say.

"Well good then it makes it easier to ask this. I was, uh, I was thinking and well hoping we could make this whole Kuke thing like...official," he says nervously. I let go of his hand and turn so I'm standing in front of him.

"Like to be your girlfriend?" I tease; I want to hear him say it.

"Yes, will you be my girlfriend Kat? I know we've only been on one date and you've only been here for like a week but I th-" I cut him off by pressing my lips to his lightly. He is surprised for a second but is quick to kiss me back softly.

"Was that a yes?" he asks as I pull away

"No, I kissed you as a way of telling you to fuck off," I joke sarcastically.

"Was THAT a yes?"

"Of course you idiot," I say and he smiles.

"This relationship is off to an abusive start," Luke pouts and I chuckle as I lace my fingers back with his.

Later we were sitting on the grass in front of the dorms. I was sitting in between Luke's legs and leaning against his chest while he was leaning against a large tree.

"What are you thinking about girlfriend?" he asks and I smile.

"Random, weird, stuff," I reply as I play with one of his hands. That sounded really weird. Who plays with hands?

"Like what?"

"I don't know. Like if pizza is round, why does it come in a square container? And how come someone is in a movie but on TV?"

"Huh, those are good questions. Is that what goes through your mind all the time?"

"Pretty much," I conclude and he chuckles.

"Well if it isn't Kuke!" a voice says making Luke and I look up. Great, it's Niall and Grace. What Niall said to me before kind of threw me off because he seemed so nice. Maybe it was just a one-time thing?

"Hey guys!" I say with a friendly tone and Niall just rolls his eyes. Okay, so it wasn't just a one-time thing.

"What are you guys up to?" Grace asks. Is it not obvious?

"Just hanging out," Luke says.

"Oh can we join you?" she asks and sits down, grabbing Niall's hand and bringing him with her.

"Actually we were kin-"

"Great!" Grace interrupts Luke and I roll our eyes. "So are you guys like official yet?"

"Yeah actually that's why we're here," Luke tries to imply.

"Oh that's so cute! Isn't it Ni Ni?" Ni Ni? What the fuck?

"I don't know. She's been here like a week," Niall shrugs. Dick.

"So?" Luke asks.

"I don't know, you barely know each other. She could be using you," he says. The nerve of this guy.

"Okay I don’t need this shit. I'm going back to my room. Do you wanna come Luke?" I ask as I stand up.

"Yeah definitely. What the fuck Niall?"

"Whatever Luke, just don't come crying to me when she goes and fucks someone else," Niall snaps. Where the fuck is this all coming from?

"Dude I'm just gonna assume you're having a bad day or some shit but for now I'm leaving," Luke says and takes my hand before leading us a way.

"What the hell was that about?" Luke asks as we are out of earshot.

"I have no idea. I thought we were becoming friends."

"I did too. He's usually so nice...I've never really seen him act like that," Luke looks deep in thought as he speaks.

"Maybe he's manstruating," I joke and Luke laughs.

"Maybe."

When we arrive at my dorm I turn my back to the door to face Luke.

"I enjoyed myself tonight. Even when Goose and Niall tried to ruin it," I say.

"I did too," he smiles and leans down to connect our lips. As our lips move in sync I feel the familiar feeling of lava pumping through my veins.

"Do you wanna come in and hang out with me and Jamie? We're just watching some movies," I offer as he pulls away.

“I’d love to,” he says. Unlock my door and step in to find it empty.

“Jamie?” I call out and knock on the bathroom door. Nothing. “I guess it’s just us then,” I shrug and Luke smirks.

“Even better,” he says and he leans down and plants his mouth on mine. Softly, at first, until I lean into his touch and he presses me against him. I put my hands around his neck and let our tongues meet. The kiss grows more impatient by the second. We reach the bed and I fall down on it with a soft thud before he crawls on top of me. He lowers his body onto mine and his hand caresses my cheek and we kiss again, this time softly. He detaches his lips from mine and nuzzles my nose, looking at me with a loving expression.

“Can I take your shirt off?” he asks looking somewhat nervous. Oh he is too cute to even handle. I smirk and nod making him grin.

His hands slid under my shirt and he takes it off in one swift motion. I did the same to him and admired his chiseled chest.
His mouth connects to my neck and I throw my head back in pleasure while he trails soft kisses up and down my sensitive skin. I slide my hands into his hair and pull of it softly. His hands trail to my bra clasp and he is about to take it off when the door opens and Jamie walks in with Roland.

“Oh Jesus you two! I'm gone fore ten minutes and come back to find you two about to fuck!” Jamie throws her hands up in the air.

“We weren’t gonna have sex,” I say as I pull my shirt back on.

“Sure,” she says sarcastically. “Next time you want to just tell me and I’ll leave the room for a bit.” Roland laughs and I give Jamie a look.

“That movie sounds good right now,” Luke attempts to switch subjects as he also pulls his shirt back on.

“Yeah! How about Hunger Games?”
