“I like it. It looks a lot better like this.” Luke paced the room. “Wait, you tore the wall out yourself?”

“Well yeah. I’m not incompetent.”

“Hey, impressive.” He looked down at me, his eyes smoldering.

My heart was racing now. “Uh so you’ve seen the porch and kitchen. This is the living room.” We walked through the kitchen into the living room. “You know there was that dumb archway in the middle, I tore that out too. I think it really opens it up.”

Luke took it all in with his hands in his pockets. That was always something he did when he was uncomfortable. “Yeah it does.”

“And here is the guest bedroom.” I went to open the door then remembered what I was keeping inside. “It’s kind of a collect all so we don’t really need to see that.” I began to shut the door when Luke’s frame came into view keeping me from closing the door.

“Oh yes we do.” He flipped the light on crossing the room. “What’s with all these boxes?”

“I just haven’t had the time to unpack them yet.” I could feel my face getting red. I couldn’t lie to save my life.

“Lies.” Lifting one onto the bed he cut the tape. “Fuck Kaci.”

“What?” A lone tear escaped. I knew everything in these boxes like the back of my hand.

“It’s like a time capsule.”

“Yeah so now you know why all these boxes are still here. Unpacked.” More tears.

All the pictures, concert tickets, gifts, everything. All evidence of the Luke and Kaci days was in this room boxed up.

Luke chambered my way with the little teddy bear he won me at the county fair five years ago in hand. “Why’d you save all this stuff?”

His breath coated my cheeks. “Why wouldn’t I?” Another tear.

“Fuck.” He dropped the bear closing the space in-between us with one quick stride. His lips crashed into mine taking my breath away. His tongue swept over mine. I clawed at his shirt needing the barrier gone. Luke complied only breaking our kiss long enough to strip his shirt and mine. Our lips fused together. My heart hammered in my chest. I missed him so much.

I made quick work of his belt pushing his jeans down. Hoisting me up I wrapped my legs around his waist. Stepping out of his jeans he walked us to my bedroom. It wasn’t the first time we had been in this very room together. Only this time we had a bed and there was no musty smell.

Luke lowered me onto the bed. Peppering kisses down my neck he slid my leggings down tossing them aside. Pushing my underwear to the side he primed me with his fingers. His mouth devoured mine. Luke hissed as I gripped his length. Kissing my neck his arm snaked around my waist lifting me completely onto the bed.

As he hovered about me his voice shook, “Are you, or can…” He let the question hang in the air.

“I’m still on the pill and I haven’t since… well since you.”

“Oh thank God.” Luke sunk into me taking my breath away.

Sinking deeper Luke pushed himself up on his elbows framing my face.

“I know I shouldn’t but, fuck I love you.” His lips captured mine keeping me from saying it back.
