Lucas woke up to the feeling of his girlfriend laying on his chest. He smiled softly, running his fingers through her hair. God, he loved her so much. She looked beautiful sleeping in his arms. It was a position he loved having her in.
“Hey, there, beautiful,” he murmured, poking her cheek softly. “Time to wake up. We’ve got college to head to.”
It had been a few days since they moved to California. It had been a hard move for Lucas—leaving behind his sister once again. He hoped it wouldn’t scar her too much—she was devastated when he left the first time even though she said nothing. Then again, she had Sterling with her. Lucas knew he could trust Sterling enough to take care of her.
Choosing to live with Ashley proved to be the happiest decisions he ever made. He couldn’t cook for his life, so he enjoyed eating what she made. Waking up with her in his arms was the best feeling ever.
When Ashley shivered, Lucas pulled the blanket over her bare shoulders before pressing a soft kiss against her skin, hugging her tighter to himself. Things were going extremely smoothly for them. He hoped it would continue to be like this without any ups and downs. They’d already had one in the past—he couldn’t have one again. He wouldn’t hurt Ashley again.
