It was hard for her focus even for a second knowing that the guy she wanted to be next to her more than anything in this world, was just across the hall but she couldn’t be with him. Not out in the open or around their friends and family like a normal couple could and it was hard. Having your boyfriend living in your house might not be the best idea but it has it’s moments. Like last night, she had walked over to his room and played him the song she wrote about them which ended up with them sharing a sweet kiss that had gotten heated after a couple of minutes. Just as she smiled at the memory her door opened and closed quickly and quietly causing her attention to shift towards the door. She found Luke with a smirk on his face as he leaned against the door for a second before he approached his girl that was standing over by her bed looking hotter than he remembered her.
”What are you doing here? Are you trying to get caught?” She yelled in a whisper.
”I just wanted to say good morning to my girl in the right way.” He said as he pulled her closer to him by putting his hands around her waist, letting her rest her hands on his chest.
”And what way is that?” She couldn’t help but love how he couldn’t stay away from her even if it meant getting caught.
”This one.” He said softly as he leaned in to give her a sweet lingering kiss before he parted from her just a little. ”Morning” He said barely about a whisper.
”Morning.” She said back before she pulled his face down to hers to connect his lips to hers once again.
She couldn’t help but smile when he didn’t think twice about kissing her back. She could feel him biting her lower lip making her to open up and give him access to explore her mouth. They competed for dominance and Luke was surprised when Sasha clearly won. He parted from her lips and started make his way down her neck, he wanted to suck it but leaving her with a hickey that wasn’t there yesterday was to obvious. She tried to keep the moan in but she could only keep it in a lower voice. She was so turned on right now, she wanted him bad and she wanted him now. She put her hands on his cheeks and pulling him back up to face her, he saw raw want and lust in her eyes before her lips crashed onto his once again as she stumbled backwards towards the bed. She pulled him down on top of her without breaking their kiss. It didn’t take long for her hands to travel up under his shirt making it roll up more, giving her more access to his bare skin. But it wasn’t enough for her, she pulled the hem of the shirt towards his head causing him to pull away just enough for his shirt to be removed in a quick motion and landed on the floor. She kept moaning as she wrapped her legs around his lower part so she felt him push against her through his jeans, making her moan even more.
”Luke!” She moan even louder.
”And you asked if I wanted to get caught..” He whispered to her lips causing her to blush.
”I just can’t help it, you’re just so damn sexy in the mornings.” She whispered to his ear before she placed small kisses on his neck.
”That hot huh?” Sasha just nodded at the question as she came back to his lips.
She flipped them over so she was on top of him with her knees on each side of his hips and her hands at his head. They were so close to each other that he felt her breath on his lips as she hovered over him, just looking into each others eyes while breathing heavily. They stayed like that while the s****l tension got built up in the little space between them before Luke went from stoking her back to pulling her shirt upwards. She reluctantly parted from Luke a bit more, letting the garment come of her body before she closed the space again with a soul piercing kiss on his lips. She didn’t know what came over her at that moment, she just couldn’t be apart from him anymore. Neither did Luke as he flipped them around once again before he started to kiss her all over her breasts only to make her moan all over again but this time Luke didn’t care if anyone heard, he wanted to be as close to her as humanly possible. It hit her like a lightening out of nowhere and she pushed him off of her and first now she realized that she was shaking and sweating like crazy. She couldn’t do this, no matter how much she wanted to. ”I’m sorry.”
”You don’t have to be sorry for anything Sasha.” He said and put his arms around her.
”I’m just not ready..” She said and fear showered over her. The fear of him leaving because of how Alex had damaged her.
”I get it Sasha, you’ve been through so much. I don’t expect you to be fine within a day.” He said and kissed her hairline.
”It’s not that I don’t want to cause trust me I do..” She trailed off for a second ”I just..” Luke cut her off.
”Don’t worry about it, I’m not with you because of that.” With that she gave him a sweet kiss before she got off the bed to find her shirt that somehow was hanging on her makeup table.
”Nice shot.” She said before taking it down.
”Well I aim to ple..” He was cut off by Laura’s voice out in the hall telling them to get down in the kitchen.
The sound of her voice got both of them to freeze up, thinking that standing perfectly still would keep her from entering her room. Sasha yelled back to her ”I’ll be right down” And much to their relief she did nothing else except for turning around and walking back downstairs.
”That was close...” She said and let out a breath.
”I know, we have to be more careful in the future. And you need to keep it down.” He said as he put his arms around her from behind.
”Don’t act like that didn’t turn you on?” She turned around to looked at him.
”Yes but that doesn’t mean that you have to do it with our parents downstairs.” He said and gave her a quick kiss o her cheek before he walked out of her room and started to get down the stairs.
”Right..” She blushed as she took a look in the mirror to make sure she looked okay before she followed him down.
”So we’re here, what is it?” He asked wanting to get it over with so he could go back to having Sasha all to himself.
”Well.. we’ve set a date.” Paul announced and the teenagers just looked at their parents with question marks for eyes.
”For the wedding” Laura added.
Both Sasha and Luke started panic inside, they had forgotten about the reason that they now lived across the hall from each other. The reason they were doing music together. The reason why they had the morning they had today. The wedding, their parents. They were the reason why they couldn’t or shouldn’t be together. But their feelings wouldn’t change no matter how much they tried. This was a recipe for chaos.
”So when is it?” Luke’s question brought Sasha back around.
”Saturday after your graduation.” Paul said with a smile.
”What??” Sasha said in shock. There was no trying to play it cool, it was only three months away.
”We know that it’s soon but there was an opening at this beautiful venue so we booked it.” Laura explained.
”Okay” Was all Luke could say because he didn’t really know what to say. Sasha still stood there with her mouth wide open, still trying to wrap her mind around it.
”And I would like it for my maid of honor to help me with all the planing?” Laura asked as she looked over at Sasha.
”Maid of honor? Really?” She couldn’t help but smile a little even if this wedding was killing her relationship. The almost happy tone in her voice got Luke to stop before climbing the staircase.
”Of course sweetie! I wouldn’t want anyone else to be up there with me.” Laura said as she gave her daughter a hug. This was the first time that Sasha hadn’t completely dissed their marriage which made both Laura and Paul smile.
Once they pulled apart Paul started to address Luke asking him to be his best man. Luke already knew about this, well he kind of understood it since his father didn’t really have any close friends after Katy died.
”Of course pops.” He said with a fake smile as he hugged his father. Luke was happy that his father had found someone as amazing as Laura to spend his life with but their engagement was what kept his own relationship secret.
”Is there anything else? Cause we have some songs to work on.” Sasha asked wanting to get out of there. And saying ‘we’ would get Luke out of there too and giving them a reason to hang out and talk things out.
”Actually I was thinking that maybe we could go to lunch after going to look for dresses..?” Laura thought that she would as well push her luck a little further.
”I guess I could do that.” She answered, not that it was what she wanted to do or say. She really just wanted to tell her mother that she wanted to stay in Luke’s arms and never leave unless he was next to her.
”Great, I’ll just change into some clothes and then we’ll leave okay?” She said as she walked upstairs not really expecting an answer.
Sasha and Luke exchanged looks instead of talking, thankfully they could practically read eachother like open books.
”I’m sorry” ”We’ll talk when you get back” ”Yeah, and I’ll text you when I need saving. Which should be after about five minutes in the car with her.” Or something like that at least. With that ”said” or looked might be more correctly Luke couldn’t help but laugh a little and Sasha joined in, leaving Paul totally confused.
”I don’t think I even wanna know.” Paul said as he walked away to his study.
That left Sasha and Luke to laugh even more until Laura came back downstairs and practically dragged Sasha outside with her.

Once they parked the car and walked into the bridal store Laura started to look at wedding dresses while Sasha just stood there in awe at the sight of all the white fluffy dresses in front of her. After a while she started to look around a little too and after about two minutes she found her own dream dress and she pulled it out. She walked to a mirror and pushed the strapless wedding gown against herself. It was perfect, this was the dress she saw herself walking down the aisle in. She looked around to see if her mom was nearby before she sneaked away into a dressing room to try it on. She didn’t know why but she just had to. The dress fitted her perfectly and just as she looked at herself in the mirror on the other side of the curtain her mom walked around the corner and stopped at the sight of her daughter.
”Wow you look beautiful.” Was all that she could say
”I know that I’m not the one who should be trying on dresses but I saw it and couldn’t help myself. It’s just so perfect.” She defended herself as she looked at the dress she was wearing.
It was an A-line, princess dress that was strapless with small beadings in white and the accessional ones in silver that covered the top of the dress. From that it layered and it came together at her hips and from that the fabric just flowed down the rest of her body. It was simple yet beautiful and classy. This was it, this was her dress and she couldn’t help but see Luke by her side when she looked at herself in the mirror, leaving her to smile as the thought.
”It’s okay, you look beautiful..” Her mother said with tears in her eyes, she couldn’t help the rush of emotions from keeping them fall on her face. Her daughter was all grown up and she finally saw it, this might as well be her wedding their shopping for.
”Oh, mom!” She exclaimed as she gave her mother a hug.
”You will look so beautiful the day that you walk down the aisle, you know that right?” She said as she pulled away to dry her tears.
”I know but I’m not the one getting married you know” Sasha joked.
”Oh, right.. it’s for my wedding. So why don’t you get out of that dress and help me find one already?” Laura joked back and helped her daughter down from the small podium.
”Sorry, I’ll be right back.” She said as she walked back inside the dressing room.
She look one last look in the mirror and saw Luke’s face once again. Shake it off Sasha, you’ve been with this guy for like a day and you can’t be having these thoughts. It’s not normal, hell it’s just a dream so STOP! But it is a dream I wouldn’t mind having someday.. Stop now! Take a breathe, take this dress off, go find your mother a dress and get the hell out of this store right now. She battled with herself as she struggled out of her perfect dress.
”So I never really asked, what kind of dress do you want?” Sasha asked her mom once she was back in her own clothes and roaming the store.
”I was thinking lace, maybe a small train and just simple. You’ll know when you see it.” Laura kept it short but Sasha knew what she meant by the dress.
Sasha gave her a small nod as she started to walk around the shop looking for the right dress for her mom. She wanted her mother to be happy and Paul was good for her and she couldn’t help but be happy for them but she couldn’t help but be bitter about the wedding because of Luke. She couldn’t help but to fall more in love with him for every day that passed and it scared her in more than one way.
”Mom! I think I found it.” She yelled as she pulled out a dress from it’s place to take a closer look at it until Laura got there.
”You’re right.. I think it is.” She said and admired the beautiful laced dress in her daughters hands.
”Well don’t just stand there! Try it on!” She yelled at her mother and handed her the dress.
It was really her type of dress. It was lace dress with an off-shoulder neckline with a small train. Think Princess Madeleine of Sweden’s wedding dress without the huge train following it. Simple and timeless, just like her. It only took her one look in the mirror to decide that the dress was the one and got it. She had to be back about one month before the wedding for the final fitting to make sure that everything fitted perfectly. One down and a million things left to do before the wedding. Well actually three things done. If you count the date and location that it. There was still the flowers, catering, cake, bridesmaids dresses, guest list, music, dancing lessons and like a million more things that Sasha didn’t even want to think about. Cause with everything that they would check off the list would take them one step closer to either telling their parents about their secret relationship or break up. But then again, telling them might do the same.
