Behind the Scenes
Chapter 18
"Hey Liz.  Would you like to take a stroll with me outside?"  Luke asked. 
I sighed and said, "Sure."  What did I have to lose.  When we got outside,
we were walking along the football field. 
He offerred his hand, but I refused politely, gathering my dress in both my hands.
He broke the silence first by saying, "I wanted to apologize, Lizzy. 
I was waiting for you after my basketball practice, and she came up and kissed me.  I kissed her back. 
I'm not going to deny it, but I have regretted doing that every moment of every day after that evening.  Even being with Lindsey, I never got that same spark that came when I kissed you in the park last month.  I don't deserve you at all. 
But I just want to go back to being friends and talking, at least."
I sighed.  I missed him too.  "Alright," I said at last, and I saw Luke smiling.  Then, out of no where, he hugged me.  And I hugged him back.  It felt so good to be in his arms again. 
I let go first.  "We should probably head on back to the gym."  He smiled shook his head and said, "I know something better."
He grabbed my hand and in the middle of the empty football field, yanked me down onto the grass.  He laid down and gestured for me to lay next to him.  I smiled, rolled my eyes and laid down. 
Then I noticed the sky. 
There were hundreds of stars out and not a cloud to be seen.  I small gasp escaped my lips, and Luke looked at me and said, "I know right." 
We laid there in silence for a while, and then I reached over to grab his hand.  He turned and looked at me.  I looked at him.  And at the same time, we kissed each other.  It was a small kiss, nothing huge, but it was still amazing all the same. 
We broke apart, and I noticed the faint music coming from the gym. 
I turmed my gaze back towards the stars, and smiled. 
And hand in hand, in an empty football field,
we laid in the grass and watched the stars.
