Luke and I have been hanging out all day. Currently, we are back at the apartment, in my room.

Luke is going through my memory box, flipping through the pictures as I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Can you teach me to fight?" I ask, turning my attention to him.

He places the pictures down, looking at me.

"You want to learn how to fight?" He asks, confusion all over his face.

"Yeah, I want to try boxing" I shrug, sitting up.

"Sure, I can teach you. I can't picture you boxing at all though" He laughs.

"Shut up" I shake my head.

"When do you want to start?" He asks.

"I don't know. Whenever" I shrug, opening my planner.

"How about now?" He suggests, grabbing my car keys.

"What?" I laugh.

"I have a friend who lives nearby. He owns a gym" Luke smiles.

"What? Luke. Not right now. I want to just chill. Lets get ice cream" I suggest.

"Ice cream after. Get changed and lets go" He says, arms crossed.

"Fine" I sigh, grabbing some clothes and going into the bathroom.

I change into a pink nike sports bra, a white tank top and some nike athletic shorts. Throwing my socks and sneakers on, I grab a water and my phone and we head out the door.

Soon we pull up to a gym and get in with no problem.

"Okay, lets see what you got" Luke says, holding his hands up.

"Luke, I got nothing" I laugh.

"Okay, then just punch my hand as hard as you can" He shrugs.

I do as told, his arm barely moving with the punch.

"Don't laugh at me" I say before he opens his mouth.

"Laugh at what? You're strong" He says, signaling for me to go again.

He gives me some instructions and moves to do. I follow along, taking in the information and projecting it back out.

"Perfect. You're good Le" He nods, taking his gloves off.

"I barely did anything and I'm exhausted" I laugh, taking a sip of water.

"Gotta start somewhere" He gives me a high five as we exit the gym.

"I guess so" I nod, getting into my car.

"Now, time for some ice cream. Or do you want frozen yogurt" I ask.

"Frozen yogurt. Its healthier" Luke says.

"True, and its just as good" I laugh, driving to the nearest frozen yogurt place.

We get our frozen yogurt and eat it. I catch a couple girls staring at Luke.

"Looks like you catch a lot of girls attention. You must have quite the fan club" I joke, throwing my cup away.

"I guess so. Doesn't really matter though" He throws his away as well.

"And why is that?" I ask, as we walk back to my car.

"Because I have my eye on someone" He laughs.

"Now do you? Whats her name and how did you meet her?" I smile.

"Her name is Alexandra, Alex for short but I call her Lex. Alexa if I'm teasing her. I went to high school with her and she lives back home in Florida, though she is in California on the set of a movie because she does special effects makeup" He tells me a little about her.

"Aw, thats so great. Where in California? LA?" I smile, turning onto our road.

"Yeah, I'm going to head up there in a couple days. Rent a hotel and spend some time with her. Might even go on set" He nods.

"You have to make a move man. I want a picture when you see her in LA. And when you guys are together" I glance at him, turning my attention back to the road.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay Leah" He laughs, cracking his knuckles.

"Okay, home sweet home" I laugh, dialing Masons number.

"Hey Le, everything okay?" Mason answers on the first ring.

I hand Brooks my key, mouthing the number to him, explaining that I will be right up.

"Yeah, everything is great. I just got home. Luke taught me some boxing moves and then we went for frozen yogurt. I just wanted to keep you updated" I answer into the phone.

"Thats nice. How was it?" I hear his bed squeak.

"Good, good. It was fun" I nod.

"Nice, so as for tomorrow, Ellie will pick you up around 1:00. The ball is at 7:30. You two have hair and makeup appointments at 3:00. Then after that, and you both are dressed and ready, pictures will be taken. I think it's completely pointless but my mom and Ellie both love it so me and my dad suck it up and deal. You can chose what side you're on" Mason jokes.

"But, the limo will pick you guys up at 6:30. Brooks and I are just going to drive and meet you guys there. If Luke is still up to it, him and I can hang out for a couple hours before the party. I would love to get to know your basically brother" I can hear his smile through the phone.

"Sounds like a pretty solid plan. I'll be ready and prepared. I'm extremely nervous though. Yeah, I believe he is, I'll text you if he's up to it when I get upstairs. I think you guys would make great friends"

"It is. The same routine for every single one. Don't be nervous, if anything, I should be the nervous one. I'll have the most beautiful girl to step foot on this earth, never mind through those doors. Do you know how many heads you're going to turn? And to think I'll be able to dance with you, telling my whole family you're my girlfriend. No one will be able to live up to that" He says, breathless.

My face heats up and my legs get weak. I lean against the wall of the apartment.

"Mason, you're too kind. I'm not even with you and I can't help the blush on my face and the way your words effect me" I smile.

"I have more words than that Le. They can do a lot more than just cause a little blush" I can hear his smirk.

"Oh my gosh. Stop it" I laugh, walking to the elevator.

"Leah? There you are. Why aren't you in the apartment" Cody runs up to me.

"I'm on the phone with Mason. I sent Luke up" I answer him, pressing the button.

"I know, I didn't know where you were. Hi Mason" He nods.

"Hey Cody" Mason answers.

"Okay Mas. I'll give you a call tomorrow. Goodnight. Love you" I smile.

"Okay Le. Goodnight. Can't wait to see you in the dress. You're going to look even more stunning. Love you" He ends the call.

"That is one hunk of man" Cody laughs, a twinkle in his eye.

"Zip it Code. You have your own man" I grin, leaning my head against the wall.

"I know, and I'm lucky to have him. Just like you are lucky to have Mason" Cody answers as the elevator doors open.

We walk into the apartment, seeing Luke and Andrew talking.

"Hey guys" I smile, sitting on the love seat.

"Hey" Andrew smiles.

"So, Luke. Tomorrow Ellie is picking me up at 1:00 to get ready. Mason said if you're still up to it, he'll pick you up sometime and you guys can hang out for a little" I say.

"Yeah, sounds good" Luke nods, grabbing a glass of water.

"Okay, I'll text him and I'll tell you the time. You can also have his number if you want" I quickly text Mason.

"Lets watch a movie" Cody suggests.

"Okay, I'll make the popcorn" I grab some popcorn from the pantry and throw it into the microwave.

"Drinks?" I question.

"I'll have a coke please and a sprite for Andrew" Cody says. I look at Luke. "I'm good with my water. Thank you Le" He smiles.

I place the drinks down and grab the popcorn, putting it into two bowls.

"I can always make more. Don't eat it so fast you pigs" The second the bowls are out of my grasp they are stuffing their faces like wild animals.

"I'm picking the movie" I grab the remote from Andrew and flick through the movies, landing on Mean Girls. A classic.

"Leah, come on. Thats boring" Cody rolls his eyes.

"Shut up. You're boring" I press play, getting under the blanket.

"I'm switching it" Luke grabs the remote from my hand.

"Y'all are no fun" I whine, grabbing the popcorn bowls, refilling them.

"Here" I hand them the bowls, sitting on the love seat again.

They throw on some Marvel movie, gushing about how good it is.

I huff, grabbing my phone and sending a text to Mason.

-------

{M-Mason L-Leah}

L- Come save me.

M- What happened? Are you okay?

L- They turned my movie off and switched it to some boring Marvel movie. Ugh.

M- Don't go bashing on Marvel just because yours got turned off :p

L- Oh shut it, you know I like Spiderman.

M- Yeah, because of Tom Holland. Don't think I don't know that.

L- Shhhh.

M- Want me to pick you up?

L- Its fine, I'll live.

M- Good, are you gonna stick the movie out?

L- Most of it I will. I'll probably take a shower or something halfway through. Maybe treat myself to a bath. I got some new bath bombs.

M- Sounds good. Don't take a bath without me ;)

L- You nasty. Go get some holy water and then maybe.

M- I'll be over in 5 with the supplies.

L- I guess I'll see you then.

M- ;)

L- Excited for tomorrow?

M- Can't text. I'm driving. See you soon.

L- You're cute.

-------

I smile, putting my phone down and turning my attention to the movie.

A couple minutes later a knock sounds at the door.

"Is he serious?" I mumble, opening the door.

"I'm here. I brought the Holy Water, candles, rose petals, snacks, champagne and cøndoms" Mason smirks, holding up a bag.

"Mason, what the fück?" I hiss, turning to look at everyone.

Cody and Andrew smirk at each other. "They are getting it on. Down and dirtay" Andrew sings.

Luke clears his throat, arms crossed. "It-It was just a joke" I clear up.

"Sure it was" Cody chuckles.

"Not helping" I scold him. "It really was. Right Mason?" I say.

"Yeah man, it really was. I just said it to embarrass Leah" Mason says.

Luke nods, staring at us intently. "Let me see the bag then"

Mason tosses him the bag. It has a bunch of snacks in it.

"Alright" He nods, handing it back to him.

"Can I speak to you a minute Mason?" I question, looking at my door.

"Yeah, excuse us" Mason smiles, following me to my room.

"What the fück? I was just joking. I can't believe you did that" I whisper-yell.

"I thought it would be funny, and I wasn't joking. Are you still going to take that shower?" He slowly slides my tank top strap down my arm.

"Stop that" I laugh, putting it back on my shoulder.

"Stop what?" He places a soft kiss on my shoulder, next to the strap.

"That. Theres people here Mas" I quickly kiss his cheek, turning away from him.

He grabs my waist, pulling my back to his chest.

"Mas-" "Shhh, why does it matter if theres people here?" He whispers, leaving more soft kisses on my neck.

"What has gotten into you? You usually have pretty good self control" I mumble, my actions working against my brain. I lean my head to the other side, giving him better access. He wraps an arm around my waist, holding me against him tightly. His other hand laces with mine.

"You look so good. I can't help it. You obviously can't either" He slows down the speed of his kisses.

"You think I look good today, just wait for tomorrow. That dress is absolutely stunning" I smile, holding back a whimper.

"I can't wait. I'm really going to have a hard time controlling myself" He spins me around, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I guess so" I kiss him.

"Now, we should go out" I grab his hand, pulling him to the door.

"Like that? Probably not a good idea" He chuckles, causing my eyes to bulge.

"Mason, you didn't" I gasp, running over to my mirror.

"Why did you leave so many? I can't cover this" I look at my neck.

"Theres only like three Le. Its a good thing you'll have professionals that can cover it tomorrow" He smirks.

"I'm gonna murder you. Give me your hoodie" I hold my hand out.

"What? Why?" He whines.

"You left these, I get your hoodie to cover them" I cross my arms.

He huffs, handing it to me.

"Thanks. Now help me" I throw it over my head.

"Okay, you should be good" He fixes my hair.

"Okay, lets go sit down" I say, grabbing Masons hand.

He sits on the love seat, patting the spot in front of him. I sit in between his legs, laying back into his chest.

"You're all good. They aren't on this side" Mason whispers in my left ear, taking all my hair into his hand.

"I know" I whisper back, pulling the blanket over us.

"Nothing to be worried about" He runs his fingers through my hair, almost putting me to sleep.

"What were you two love birds doing in there?" Andrew smirks.

He's such an instigator.

"We were talking. I had to ask him about tomorrow" I stare at Andrew.

"Mhm, kay" He smiles, turning his attention back to the tv.

Luke's stare on me lingers, almost like he knows what was going on.

"He's gonna kill me" I whisper to Mason, pulling my hair to my left shoulder.

"Shhh" He coos, pushing his fingers into my shoulders, soothing my shoulder pains.

My eyes start closing against my will.

He leaves a kiss on my temple, threading his fingers through my hair.

"Okay, lets play a board game now" Andrew jumps up, scaring me shįtless.

"Fück" I sigh, my heart racing.

Mason quickly fixes my hair, making sure the marks aren't visible.

"I'm gonna kill you" I mumble.

"You can't yet" He smirks, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Okay, I'm gonna head out, I'll see you tomorrow Le. Luke, I'll pick you up at 1:30" Mason kisses my cheek.

"Okay, sounds good. See you then" Luke smiles.

"Bye Mas, see you tomorrow" I smile.

"I'm going to shower" I mumble, walking into my room.

I grab my stuff, getting into the shower quickly.

After my shower I look at the marks, the big purple color making it obvious what they are.

"He's gonna be the death of me" I mumble to myself, throwing the hoodie over my head.

"So what happened?" Luke asks when I get in my room.

"What do you mean?" I ask, getting him some blankets.

"With you and Mason. I see that hoodie" He nods.

"What?" I stutter.

"You're an adult, I understand that. Doesn't mean I'm not going to be protective. Especially when I'm here with you Le" He says.

"Not much happened Luke" I say, grabbing another pillow that I can use tonight. I mean, I'm not lying.

"Okay. I'll take your word" He nods, taking the pillows and blankets from my arms.

"You can sleep in here. I'll take the couch" I say.

"No you won't. I will" He says.

"Goodnight Le" He kisses my cheek, closing my door.

I get my phone out, quickly sending a text to Mason. 'Good luck tomorrow. Let me know what happens. Goodnight, Love you'

I let sleep come, peacefully.
