"Paisley hi!" Ashton said excitedly as we walked through his house.

"Hey Ash." I said and let him pull me in for a hug. I still wasn't entirely comfortable with them hugging or touching me, but after Luke reassured me countless times that they were harmless I got better with it. It still made me uncomfortable, but they were all the sweetest human beings so I sucked it up for them. I didn't have the heart to tell them not to touch me.

"Are you ready for Sunday Funday?" He asked and wiggled his eyebrows with a goofy smile on his face.

"You guys are ridiculous for calling it that you know." I said and rolled my eyes at him.

"It rhymes P, its fun." Luke said with a duh tone.

"That doesn't make it any less weird." I said with an eye roll.

"We're gonna have fun today just you wait. We'll ride go karts, play mini golf, laser tag, arcade games, and there's batting cages." Ashton rambled as everyone else came in the room so we could leave.

"And this is all in one place?" I asked and looked between everyone.

"Yes ma'am." Michael said and handed Ashton the keys to his car.

"I can't believe you've never been here before. This was the staple of our young teenhood." Calum said as we all walked out of the house and climbed into the car.

"I didn't really have a teenhood till I met you guys anyway." I said and shrugged my shoulders as Luke sat down next to me in the middle row.

"Well it seems like the goal is to have fun the whole summer. We can go back and do all the things we used to do before we stopped doing them and share the experience with you." Gracie said from behind me.

"We'll obviously it's not that fun anymore if you guys don't do it anymore." I said and turned around to look at her.

"We just grew out of it or got busier or something. I'm sure the nostalgia will make it fun." She said and shrugged her shoulders.

The ride to this place they always went to was pretty chaotic. Everyone was just fooling around and being weird the whole time. I thought maybe they'd reel it in a bit since we'd be in public, and it was pretty busy when we got there. But I was wrong, I was very very wrong.

"Luke settle down." I said and held onto his arm as we walked through the parking lot to get to the arcade games. Everything was outside except for the arcade games and for some reason they wanted to go there first.

"Come on P it's Sunday Funday, have some fun." He said and slung his arm around my shoulders.

"I am having fun, you're having too much fun." I said and looked up at him.

"There's no such thing as too much fun Paisley. Get ready to have the best day of your life." He said and quickly pecked my forehead before dragging me into the building with tons and tons of arcade games.

"Paisley come play air hockey with me." Jade said and pulled me over to the air hockey table.

"What color do you want?" Luke asked as I looked at the selection of golf balls.

"I don't know I can't decide." I said and held my small golf club in my hand.

"This one." He said and handed me a dark blue ball.

"Of course you pick blue." I said and took the ball from him.

"Why do you say that?" He asked with a small smile.

"You pick blue any chance you get." I said and moved out of the way so everyone else could get their ball.

"You do that with purple." He said and elbowed my shoulder.

"I do not. I love all the colors." I said matter of factly.

"Alright who's going first?" Ashton asked as we walked up to the first hole.

"Youngest to oldest, that's the rule." Jade said and stood on the sidelines.

"I was hoping that rule would change." He muttered and let out a disappointed sigh.

"You're just mad that you go last." Luke said and walked up to the starting point and put his ball down.

"You get to go first you get no opinion on the matter." He said and watched Luke as he took his first swing.

After a long game of mini golf we decided to go on the go karts. We were currently waiting in line, I was relatively stressed just because I've never done this before. But Luke seemed to distract me, even if he wasn't doing it on purpose.

"Luke stop it." I said and swatted his hands away from me. He's been poking my ribs and my back repeatedly ever since we got in line. He just giggled and kept poking me from behind which was very irritating.

"Luke I swear to god." I said and turned around and quickly and tightly held his hands so he wouldn't poke me.

"Don't swear at god, it's not nice." He said with a goofy grin that made me face palm.

"You're such a dork." I said and scoffed out a laugh while shaking my head.

"Yeah but you still like me anyway." He said with a cheesy smile and peppered kisses all over my cheeks.

"You're tickling me." I squealed and tried to hide my face in his chest to escape his tickles, but evidently ended up failing. He pulled his face away from my cheek and quickly kissed my lips before he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

I relaxed into him and rested my head on his chest while we waited in the long line. My arms were hung loosely around his waist as I closed my eyes and inhaled his scent which just relaxed me even more.

After maybe five minutes of silence, he poked my ribs which caught me off guard and made me jump.

"Luke stop." I groaned and sent him a dirty look while he just laughed and rested his head on my shoulder.
