Ch 10 - "Don't call us that."

Chloe's POV

Luke and I lay in bed for the rest of the day and night-together.

"My mom is going to legit kill me." I laugh.

"Nah, I'll tell her I told you to get it."

I cringe, "Yeah, uh, she doesn't like you, anymore."

"O-oh."

"I'm sorry, really." I hold his hand between both of mine.

"No, it's okay. Not everyone is going to like you in life." He says, making me smile.

"Yeah, that's good to kn-" I hear my mom's car being locked.

"Fuck, get out if my bed she'll think we had sex." I giggle as I push him off the bed, him landing with a loud thump.

"Fuck, Chloe!"

"Shut up!!" I laugh, louder unable to stop laughing.

I missed this, hiding from my mom's rules and eyes.

"Hun? Is everything okay?"

"Oh, uh yeah stubbed my toe!" I yell, pretending to hold my toe.

"She can't see you idiot." Luke laughs softly.

"Whatever, dick head." I sneer, playfully.

"And you're laughing about it?" My mom yells, her steps becoming more noticeable as she walks up the stairs.

"Yeah. It was funny." I shove Luke in my closet, closing it.

She walks in, I clutch my toe.

"Oh, I'll get you an ice pack."

"No! That's fine mom, I mean I'm fine yeah." I laugh nervously, "Just go eat or something."

"What are you hiding? You never act like this unless you want or are hiding something. Tell me what it is, Chloe." She becomes stern, the kindness leaving her body and voice as fast as a cheetah running - hell, maybe even faster.

"Not-nothing." I let my toe go, pulling my shirt down not meaning to.

"Whatever, I'll eventually find out."

"I'm not hiding anything!" I yell.

"Fine, tomorrow we're going swimming." She smirks, evilly knowing what she's doing.

I want to get back at her, "Fine, it's a done deal." I smirk, just like she did, ready for the challenge.

I run through the aisles with Luke behind me.

"Come here!" He laughs, holding up a bathing suit, a bikini.

"No! That shit is like lingerie!" I laugh.

"No its not! It's hot!" He laughs harder, squeaking a bit.

I scrunch my nose from laughter, "Fine, I'll at least try it on." I snatch it out of his hands, walking to the dressing room.

I walk out wearing a bikini with rainbow tassels, with plain black bikini bottoms.

"Hot damn." Luke bites the left side of his lip, looking at me.

I spin around slowly, giving him a view.

"I like it." He nods, "We're getting it." He laughs, getting up.

"Haha okay, I like it also." I smile, walking back in getting changed.
