Luke and I got to the ice cream shop and he was holding my hand tightly as we swung our arms together, laughing. Once we got there, he opened the door for me and I smiled at him.
                          
"Thank you, kind sir." I giggled and walked inside. Luke nodded and walked in behind me and I looked back at him as he smiled at someone else. I saw it was his friend Andrew. I hadn't really met Andrew before, but I knew him and Luke were good friends. 
                          
Andrew approached us, and I kind of went closer to Luke as just a natural thing. The tall boy smiled at me. "Drea, don't be scared.." Andrew chuckled and I moved away from Luke a bit. Luke gave Andrew a friendly "bro-hug" and I smiled at them. 
                          
"Hey, bro, what you doing here?" Luke asked Andrew and Andrew pointed towards a brunette-haired girl. She walked over here and smiled. "Brinley!" Luke said with a beaming smile on his face. They must've been friends or something. 
                          
Brinley flashed a smile at him. "Luke! I haven't seen you in forever, how have you been?" She hugged him tightly and I moved away more from him. "Is this your girlfriend, Andrea?" She smiled at me. "Hi, I'm Brinley, Andrew's girlfriend." Brinley held out her hand and I shook it, smiling. 
                          
"Hi, I'm Andrea." I said, smiling. Luke wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling him close to him.
                          
"This is my girl.." Luke said and I smiled at those words. Hearing those words come out of his mouth, made my cheeks blush. "And she's really cute when she blushes." Luke chuckled and kissed my cheek. I smiled up at him and laid my head on his shoulder. 
                          
Andrew walked up with Brinley to order some ice cream, Luke and I followed them and he ordered my ice cream for me and paid. I pecked his cheek and smiled at him.
                          
"Thanks, babe." I said to him as he smiled small at me. 
                          
"You're welcome, baby."  He said, kissing my cheek lightly.
                          

                          

                          
Eventually we got back to his house and we walked hand in hand into the house. Beau and Jai were hanging out and Jai seemed to be around a girl. I had never seen her before, and she looked really pretty. Beau was away from them, watching whatever was on the television.
                          
Jai looked up and smiled. "Hey guys."
                          
Luke nodded. "Who's the chick?"
                          
The girl looked at Luke, then at Jai. She seemed shy around Luke, like he was some intimidating person. "This is Natalie.." Jai said, wrapping his arm around the girl who seemed to be named Natalie's shoulder. 
                          
"Hi, Natalie. I'm Luke." Luke said to Natalie and she waved with a very shy manner to it. I walked up and I sat next to her.
                          
"Hi, I'm Andrea, Luke's girlfriend." Natalie turned and faced me, not really knowing what to say. 
                          
Natalie took a deep breath. "Hi, I'm Natalie.." She said kinda quietly. "Sorry I'm kinda quiet, still really shy around Jai.." She smiled slightly. I smiled at her, knowing how she felt, since I was super shy around Luke when we first met.
                          
"I know how you feel. When Luke and I first met, I was super shy around him, more like an idiot." I laughed and she smiled at me. "I actually met Jai in school, where did you two meet?"
                          
Natalie smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "We met at the penny board shop downtown. He was checking out stuff and I was working, and he was being a huge flirt to me, so we started talking and he invited me over." She giggled and looked at Jai, who planted a kiss on her head. He was being so sweet to her, which lead me to know that he was moving on from things that had happened recently. 
                          
I smiled, nodding at her. "That's so cute! Jai is a sweetheart, really. He'll treat you well, I'm sure of it. It sure seems like he likes you, too. He's opening up around you, and he hasn't done that in a while with anyone." I kept smiling and looked at Jai, nodding at him. He gave me a thumbs up and I shook my head. 
                          

                          
I felt Luke's arms wrap around me as Natalie and I were talking and Jai did the same to Natalie. We both smiled at each other and I looked up at Luke, smiling. He smiled at me, leaning down and pressed his lips against mine softly. I smiled against his lips, kissing him back. Luke pulled away, just barely brushing his lips against mine and I couldn't help but feel my cheeks go red. He just had this special affect on me, always making me blush. 
                          
Jai smiled at me and then he kissed Natalie. I smiled widely at him, then tapped Luke's shoulder. "Babe, look!" I pointed at Jai and Natalie, who still were kissing. Luke whistled, causing Jai to pull away from Natalie and throw a pillow at him. Jai moved away slightly away from Natalie and I saw him grab his phone.
                          
I felt my phone vibrate and I got a text from Jai: i think i found my potential girl :)  
                          
I smiled widely again at Jai. "Jaaai!" I geeked out for him and he blushed. 
                          
"Shhh!" He said, laughing. I giggled and looked at Luke. 
                          
"He's really happy, babe.." Luke said to me as I nodded. "As I am with my perfect girl." He kissed behind my ear, causing me to close my eyes. Luke rubbed my side and kept his lips near my head. "You're perfect to me, Andrea..And I hope you realize that. I wanna let you know that every day, for the rest of your life." He said quietly, almost in a whisper to me, and it was soothing to me.
                          
It was reassuring, knowing that I had someone like Luke in my life who cared about me for me. He cared about me, because I was me, and not fake. And I loved that.
