"Oh come on. Really that face?!" I frown," I'm sorry, okay? I thought that you were going to be busy with practice all break so I just made other plans." I sigh and he grins.
"What plans?" Before I could make up a bad excuse my phone rings. Yes! I take my phone out. Kat. I read off the caller ID. I love her, today.
"Sorry I have to take this."
"Okay, but I'm taking you out to the movies tonight just the two of us." He narrows his eye. I nod and he kisses me before running off.
"Hello?"
"Riley!" I hear Kat scream on the other end, and I move my phone away from my ear just a little.
"Yeah?..." I ask cautiously.
"Why were you not picking up your phone it's been like two minutes." She complains.
"Sorry, I was just saying bye to Luke. What's up?"
"Nothing much. I was just wondering weather you wanted to go shopping tomorrow. I literally have nothing to do all weekend."
"Nothing to do huh?..." I smirk devilishly.
"What are you thinking Riley? That voice always scares me and it's never good." She says.
"Will you do me a favour? Pleeeeaaasssse!"
"What is it?..."
"Ahh come to dinner with the gang and I Sunday night?"
"What's the catch?" She asks.
"Go as Heath's date." The words flow out really quietly.
"No!" She shrieks.
I throw my other hand up in the air," Oh come on! Please! I made sure he won't touch you or do anything inappropriate. I swear."
"No. No matter how cute, hot, or sexy he is. He is bipolar. You literally never know when you'll set him off and he's slept with so many girls I'm afraid I'll get some sort of disease sitting next to him."
"Oh, stop exaggerating." I sigh walking into my room.
"Am I Riley? Am I really exaggerating?"
"Okay, fine it's true. But I haven't gotten any diseases so you're in the clear. Just please come. Pweaseeee!"
"Oh my god Riley." She groans.
"Pwease?" I say in a sad and lonely voice.
"Fine. Ugh."
"Yaay! Thanks. Love you! And I'll give Heath your address he'll come pick you up." I sweetly say.
"No. I'll get there myself. Just send me the address of the restaurant."
"Okay." I laugh. "Thanks Kat." I kiss through the phone.
"You're crazy. I love you too. But you owe me. Big time."
"Don't worry I know." I smile.
"So shopping tomorrow?" Kat asks.
"Kk. I need to go shopping for new clothes. I swear it's not going to be Christmas without snow."
"You'll get use it. Eventually."
"Yeah." I frown a little at the thought of no snow during winter.
"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye."
"Bye." I say and we hang up.

"That was a great movie." I tell Luke as we wait for our desert to arrive.
"Yeah." He looks at me smiling in deep thoughts.
I feel my face heat up at his stare and I unknowingly smile.
"Stop." I whisper shyly.
He laughs," I still can't believe you're mine. Riley, promise me that no matter what happens you will never doubt my love for you."
I scrunch my eyebrows as his request sent an uneasy feeling throughout my whole body," Why are you saying that? You know I would never doubt you or your love." I state.
"Just promise me, please?" The desert arrives.
"You know you're scaring me, but... I promise." I sigh.
"Thank you." He holds my hand from across the table.
I look down at the untouched desert. Why would he make me promise that? It's probably nothing. But this feeling. Ugh! "Ah, Luke I'm not hungry anymore."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm just feeling a little off. I got my period today." I make up a random, yet believable excuse.
"Oh. Okay." He says," Waiter?" The waiter comes," Can we please get our bill?" The waiter nods and leaves disappearing behind the employees only door.
He returns with the bill and after a brief argument between Luke and I, he ends up paying. We drive back silently.
Luke walks me up to my dorm room. "Riley?"
"Yeah?" I face him.
"I'm sorry I brought you out I didn't know you were ah-"
"It doesn't matter, I had a great night. I usually have no problem when I'm on it, so tonight was pretty rare." I try to avoid eye contact.
"I also wanted to ask. What are you doing for break?" Crap. I can't tell him. I don't want him to think I'm spending my time with Heath over him. Riley, think!
"Um, ah- I-I-" The door creaks open.
"Get out. Before Riley comes." I hear Jen whisper yell. Luke and I's heads turn towards the door where Ian and Jen were currently making out. After I get over the shock, I awkwardly clear my throat. "Huh? Oh! Heyyy, Rileyyy." Jen greets awkwardly while Ian scratches the back of his neck.
"Hey guys." I smirk. "What's up?"
"I was just leaving." Ian says.
"Uh-huh." Ian leaves before I could say anything else. A smile tugs at the end of my lips.
"Jen?"
"I-I was about to sleep." She says with bright red cheeks. I start laughing as she closes the door.
"Hahaha," I face Luke. Break. I sober up," Ah, I'll see you on Sunday for the dinner, okay?"
"Yeah," he nods pulling me closer to him by wrapping his hands around my waist. "I love you." He warmly kisses me.
We lean our foreheads against each others and our breaths mingle. At this moment I feel like I just want to stay in his arms forever and feel his warmth wherever I go. "I love you too." I smile and let go of him walking inside my room. I stand inside of the door," Bye."
"Bye." He says and walks away. A cold wind rushes over me before I close the door.
