Midnight Rendezvous

Weeks had passed after my breakup with Aakash. He had tried calling me and messaging me. But I stubbornly refused to talk to him.
I was done with him. Once and forever.

Luke and my friendship had deepened over days. We had been talking and messaging alot. But every time I received a message from him my heart was fluttering. I didn't knew what this feeling was. I had never felt this way before.

It was 12:30 in the night and I was wide awake.

I scrambled out of my bed and slipped into my flip flops.

I went over to my window and opened it and got out of it. I climbed down using the tree in front of my window.

I had gone for many night trips like this and had never been caught.

I climbed down very carefully, not to make any noise.

I landed on the ground.

Many things happened simultaneously.

I landed on my stomach on someone and a hand cupped my mouth to stop me from screaming. My reflex reaction was to scream and claw at the hand.

"Please don't scream" Luke said in a hushed voice.

I had heard him sing and talk so many times that it was a child's play to identify his voice among million for me.

The hand retreated from my mouth.

"Isn't it an amazing time to drop by Luke" I said sarcastically.

"Isn't it even more amazing way to get out of a room" he replied equally sarcastically.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Lying on top of you. What about you?" I said cheesily.

"Enjoying this position..." He said batting his eyelashes.
I got off him.

"Come.." He said taking my hand guiding us to his car.

Where was he taking me? What was his plan?
Whatever it was I trusted him completely.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked him.

"Have you ever been on a midnight date?" He asked excitedly.

"Urm.. I never really had someone"

"Now you have me"

His words made the butterflies in my stomach flutter wildly.

"Wasn't it way to reckless to assume that I would be awake at this hour?" I asked him.

"Urm... I wasn't sleepy. Thought you would be awake too. But I guess I was right" he said smiling warmly.

"Great minds work alike"

He drove us to the outskirts of the city.

"Wear it" he said handing me a blindfold.
I obeyed even though I wanted to ask him why.
The car stopped.
I heard the door opening.
Luke's hand wrapped around my waist and other over took my hand.

"Mind your head" he said helping me out of the car.

A gentle cool breeze hit my warm cheeks.

"You like stars?" He asked.

"Currently I'm with one, by the way"

"No silly! The real heavenly ones?"

"I love them. Only a fool wouldn't"
He slowly removed the blindfold.

World's most beautiful sight met my eyes. A sky full of stars.

"So?" He asked eagerly.

I was speechless. I could only gasp.
I just hugged him tight.
Tears spilled from my eyes.
They were happy tears. I lost my heart to this man at that moment.

"I love you Luke Hemmings" I whispered.

"I love you too Sam. You have no idea how long I waited to hear that. I fell for you when I first saw you on the beach " he said hugging me.

"It was your shirt?" I asked excited.

"Umm...hmmm.."

Time passed by. I didn't knew for how long we stood like that. Just hugging, not talking.

"Baby, why are you crying?"

"They are happy tears... Nobody has ever treated me like that"

"You will always be the eternal reigning queen of my heart, princess" he said planting a kiss on my forehead.

I was glowing.

"Let's get you home"
------------------------------------------------------
We both carefully climbed back to my room.

"You are an expert in this, my spider-monkey" he said complimenting my climbing skills.

"I have done it innumerable times"
I said shrugging.

"How come you never got caught?" He asked in me in amazement.

"Good girls are bad girls who haven't been caught"

I crashed into my bed. I was so very tired.

I heard my alarm clock go off.

I woke up to see a very beautiful Luke sleeping next to me.
He looked so innocent while sleeping.

It then hit me WE slept together.

I didn't want my aunt to know just yet. I had to introduce him formally first. I couldn't imagine how she would react to me sleeping with a guy even though we didn't do anything.

"Samaira.... You awake?" I heard her voice from downstairs.

I began panicking.

"Luke! Wake up!"

"I'm flying...." He murmured in his sleep.

I would have hugged him if not for my present situation.

"Luke! I'm dead!"

"But angels don't die" he was being playful.

"Ugh!" I wanted to kiss and slap him at the same time.

"I hope you don't want to go home dripping wet" I said coyly in his ear.

His eyes popped open. He grabbed me by waist and pulled me on top of him.

"You said that on purpose, right?"

"What are you talking about? I was going to drench you in water" I said innocently, pointing to the water bottle in my hand.

He pinned me on bed, getting on top of me.
"Breathe..." He murmured.

I didn't realise that I had been holding on my breath.

"Laters, baby" he got up and climbed out of the window.
He winked and disappeared.

I sat on my bed hugging myself. It was a great midnight rendezvous, or should I say a date.
