Chapter 13: Car Ride Chronicles

I woke up to the ringing of my phone. I moved my arms across my sheets, trying to find the device. Eventually, I pulled it out from under my covers.

“Hello?” I groggily called into it.

“Hello,” Luke said across the line, mimicking my tone. “What were you up to last night?”

I laughed. “Alex and I were watching Twilight.”

“Twilight,” Luke repeated with a sigh. “Again? Should I be worried about your type being a bloodsucker?”

“No,” I said, giggling. “I like my men furry.”

“While I find that extremely comforting,” he drawled out. “Not. I wanted to know if you’d like to accompany me to lunch.”

“Well,” I said, pausing on purpose. “If I have to.”

“You wound me, truly.”

“I’m kidding,” I said laughing into the speaker. “Of course, I will gladly join you.”

“Great! I’ll pick you up in a bit.”

We ended the call after saying our goodbyes. I stretched my arms out and stared at the ceiling with a smile, before getting up and heading to the bathroom.
