When it came to going out on a date with someone, Rachel was cautious to say the least. So she had made a few mistakes in her life, such as her relationship with Jeremy. The two were so different, but yet connect...On that 'friendly' level. Perhaps not the best relationship she'd ever been in. With Craig, everything felt right. The two were alike in alot of ways, and seemed to connect on every level. Making the choice to be 'just friends,' was a mistake in her mind, but she would never admit it, nor would she jeapordize what they had now.
What had gone from a night out with friends, to a training session on becoming 'outgoing,' had now become a date in Rachel's opinion. Mixed feelings for Luke was something she may admit, but the fact that she felt on edge when he put his arm around her after small talk, wasn't something she could hide.
She was attracted to him to say the least. His eyes, his smile, his personality, everything about him, but even if she couldn't hold back, there was something pulling her back. Telling her she wasn't ready for what may have been coming. So when she saw him inching towards her, Rachel's smile faded slightly, knowing fair well what he was going to do.
Feeling the weight of his arm inch around her shoulder, she tried to be ok with it, but once again, her conscience seemed to have control. Off instinct, she took a step to the side, tucking her hair on the left side of her cheek behind her ear, "Luke..." Was all she could mutter, as her eyes tried desperatly to avoid his, only managing to land themselves on the ground below her feet.
(psht and you say I dont know who im dealing with)

with her Rachel, she always seemed to have a wall built around her. this wall was strong and high enough to keep anyone from really, trully getting close to the young blonde haired girl trapped inside. there was no doubt in his mind that she had a past, one that help build that wall but what could ahve been so horrible from her past? or was it just him?
taking a step so he was a little further from her, Luke quickly moved his arm so it looked like he was just stretching it then quickly went to scratch the back of his head. he was shut down, and the worst part was that it was from the one girl he thought he could be with, like share a relationship with. hearing his name echo from her lips he nodded knowing that she knew what he was really doing. "sorry...i just thought.." breaking eye contact Luke dropped his head, looking at the pavement which rubbed against the bottomsof his shoes as he dragged them.
believing in something like love was hard for Luke, he could really never accept the fact that he wasn't normal. but with Rachel, thats all he felt....normal. something he had been searching for all his life. he knew if they werent going to be anything he would want to stay friends with her.

{you do not lol you tempted me in the first place!} Most of the relationships Rachel had been in had ended in her boyfriend telling her that being 'just friends,' might be better for the two of them. With some of the relationships she had been in, she had agreed, but others, she wished she could have done something to keep them together. She was cautious. Maybe a little too cautious at times, but careful to how far she went with a guy, none the less. Sometimes it was easy to let someone in, others it was the hardest thing to do. At the moment, it proved to be one of the harder things. Perhaps she had been giving off the wrong impression? If she had to admit it, she would say that she was interested in Luke, but at the same time, she wasn't interested in hoping into a relationship just yet. She needed to get to know him better. Lifting her eyes from the ground, she looked up, her eyes closed for only a moment before she shook her head and opened them to gaze at Luke. "Theres nothing to be sorry for..." She started, saying this honestly, "Its just...I can't right now..." What else was she to say? Tell him that she didn't want to start anything? That she wasn't interested in him? No. So she told him the truth, she couldn't. Not at the moment .

maybe he was rushing things. after all he was still with Dani, but ten again she wasnt ever around anymore so what good was that. honestly, he didnt really feel the same connection with her that he got with Rachel, maybe it was just him dreaming again or somethng.
as he heard her, Luke could only nod "no no its cool, i completely understand..." he gave a soft smile to her eyes then looked into the distance infront of them. he was disappointed but yet also happy about it because he had a chance to win her over.

At least he was understanding about it. If he wasn't, Rachel didn't know what she would have done. After all, he was obviously expecting something more out of her other than a simple 'not right now.' But he understood her none the less. So with a nod of her head and a slight smile, as if to say 'thanks,' she pushed forward, her shoes making clicking sounds on the pavement as they walked, "Soooo..." She began, trying to think of something more to say to him.
(blah i dunno what to say now lol)

it was clear to Luke that there was now going to be akward silence. that was no stranger to him in the least because it always seemed to happen to him when he spoke to his mother every two weeks or so. there had to be something that he could say in order to break that tension instead of cutting it with a knife.
with his hands in his pockets Luke smirked "well, you still have to tell me to do something remember our little deal?" he turned his head slightly looking at her. "any ideas on what that might be?" he hoped it wouldnt be embarassing or something like that, but he knew that he couldnt back down from it even if he wanted to because she would hold it against him.

With a laugh, Rachel nodded her head again, "Yea yea yea...How bout...You run down the street in your boxers singing row row row your boat?" Turning her gaze to look at him finally, a sarcastic smirk formed across her lips. She doubted he would do it, but it was always worth a shot to make a joke.

dropping his head shortly after hearing what she wanted him to do, Luke bit his lip. moaning slihgtly then breaking into a quiet laugh he raised his head up and looked over at the hazel eyed girl walking next to him. "you just want to see me naked" he joked with a laugh as he pulled his shirt up and over his head, revealing his 6 pack and the tattoos he had on his arm and back. he unbuckled his belt and pulled down his pants after he had kicked his shoes off beside where he had thrown his tshirt.
now standing beside Rachel in just his boxers he smirked "you ready?" he asked holding a playful smirk on his face. as he walked onto the street he turned to the girl he left behind then ran with his arms flying in every direction as he sung row row row your boat. he hopped and pranced and was just the biggest goofball he could possibly be.

"Oh yes thats exactly what I had in..." Rachel began, but was cut short by the sight of Luke pulling off his shirt. She highly doubted he would even do such a thing, but once again, she had underestimated him as he was actually going through with it. "...Mind..." She finished, then looked away for a minute putting a hand over her mouth, while trying to hold back a fit of giggles. "Um Luke...I was only joking!" She exclaimed, through laughs as he began running down the road in his boxers.

Luke had run up and down the empty street a few times before running back over to Rachel who looked like she was going to pass out from laughter. "how was that?" he asked laughing at himself but also trying to catch his breath a bit. as he put his pants back on and grabbed his shoes as well. he looked over at Rachel who still seemed to be laughing "im good...i know" he winked to her as he bent over to pick up his shirt.

As Luke spent his time running up and down the street in his boxers, Rachel's hand had moved from her lips to cover her eyes, while the other held her side. It was amazing that guys would go to such lengths to impress a girl. Rachel just didn't understand it. "Ya...Your good alright..." She laughed again, as he came to a stop in front of her. Slowely Rachel parted her fingers and peeked out at him, a smirk on her face, "Remind me to try and be serious next time...Cuz I could have made that even better.." She laughed, many other ideas coming to mind.

Rachel froze as he asked if she had actually said what she did, "Um...No?" she asked, her smirk moving to one side of her lips. Smooth Rach. Real smooth She thought to herself, as she took a step back and then started walking again. By now they were moving to the outskirts of town, reaching more the deserted part of town, "I have my ideas, but I think stripping down and running down the street is enough for tonight dont you think?"

"nice one" he pointed to her, waving his index finger a little as he laughed. hearing her next comment Luke raised an eyebrow "you said at the club the nights still young...so technically, there's more to come isnt there?"

Why did he have to remember what she said? Because now how was she supposed to get out of that one? "So Luke...What else did I say back there?" Rachel decided to ask with a laugh, finding funny that he memorized things she said. (blah GIVE ME A MINUTE TO THINK )
