How Did We End Up Here

Chapter 25

Luke's POV

"Hey!" She chirps rapping her arms around my neck, it takes me a while to react to the random hug but I place my hands around her back.

When we pull apart I see her snicker, I quirk my eyebrows. "What?"

"Nice Jumper Mr. Rainbow." All the girls laugh and I roll my eyes. "You all have dried paint on your jumpers too, why am I the Rainbow?"

They all look at each other then shrug and start giggling.

My girls.

"We're here!" Calum screams walking out of the changing room with Michael and Ashton walking lazily behind him.

Michael's POV

"I'm not up for paintball." I lie and give Chloe that look, that look that I give her all the time so we can get out of group activities. Its not that we don't like them, we just love alone time. I know it's weird, Ashton started thinking when we are alone we're having sex.

Well, maybe.

We've actually only done it a couple of hundred times, but I can guarantee you, it's not as often as it may seem.

"Uh yeah, me too. I think me and Mikey have to sit this one out." she winks at me quietly and we both make our way to the parking lot.
"God thank goodness we got out of this one." she places her hand to her chest. I snicker at her introvert-ness.

She's afraid of people, she doesn't know how to talk to people in a normal conversation and I find it really cute how her cheeks flame up every time the whole gang is together. It's like I'm the only one who she can talk to and it makes me feel special.

When we met my parents, it was hard for her to even say, 'My name is Chloe it's nice to meet you'. She kept stuttering and even my parents said they love her. I love her. She really gets me.

"Maybe we have to take you to a hypnotist or something, you know make you a little confident." I say as I sit on the floor and she follows suit. She rolls her eyes and stares at me with a smile. "It's not that serious, I just, like being on my own I guess." Her eyes dart from my lips to my eyes before she presses her pink lips against mine softly.

"Alone with me."

Aveva's POV

"No!" I laugh as Ashton shoots a green paintball at my stomach. I throw him the middle finger. The one person I want to be drenched in paint is Luke, but I think he's hiding somewhere.

I go hide behind a large bean bag for arms to be rapped around my waist causing me to squeal. I don't turn around, I already know who it is just by the warmth of his flesh. His face inches closer to my ear and I feel my breathe seize with anxiety of what he will say. His breath lingers on my lower neck.

"Sorry." He whispers and I kinda moan. I bite my lip in embarrassment. "For?"
He doesn't reply me and I automatically know what he's gonna do next.

"FOR THIS!" He starts shooting me with paintballs one after another come flying towards me. I can't stop my self from giggling at his idiocy.

"Curse you Hemmings!" I shout over the noise coming from the paint gun. He starts chasing after me until I stumble and fall and he comes tumbling down after me just to land perfectly on top of me.

Yay life.

We're still giggling like crazy and he puts his arms on either side of me so he's not pressing his whole weight on me. "You have paint on your hair." he smiles and he moves strands of my hair away from my face. The electrical current seeps out of his eyes and flow there way into mine as we stare at each other.

I felt like the world was still going on but it's been slowed down and we're the only ones moving at a normal pace, it was like we were standing at the edge of the world it was, beautiful.

"Hey I wanna tell you a secret no one knows." he whispers half serious. "What secret?."
He looks around the room left to right dramatically and lowers his head so are lips brush over eachother.

"Don't tell anyone this but I think I'm falling for you." he says semi-serious. I can't help myself but get his joke, you get it too right. He's falling for me like falling on me you get it!

"Well don't tell anyone this too Hemmings, but I think I'm falling for you too."

We stay there giggling at each other just for Ashton to ruin everything.

"There are paint monsters on the floor Navea!!!"
