Demon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 29: Birthday Girl

*LUKE'S POV*

"Hi" I speak to redhead girl who just walk out of the shop. "Uhmm, hi?" she says confusedly and raises her eyebrow. "You're Lea, right?" I ask her, but I already know the answer. "And you are?" she asks back without giving me the answer. "I'm Luke" I answer calmly. Her eyes widened. "Is something wrong with Avi?" she asks out of breath, obviously scared. I can feel her fear. "No, calm down. She's great. I just need a little help from you" I tell her and she smirks. "What do you need boy?" she asks and run her fingers down my chest. "Stop that" I say and push her hand away from me. "I just need you to take her somewhere out. I want to make a surprise for her for her birthday, but I need to get her out of the house" I look at her and the smile from her face disappears. "And what I will get from this?" she asks. "Uhmm, quality time with your best friend on her birthday?" I shrug. "Fine. But just because she's my best friend and she deserves amazing birthday. And because you're hot" she says and leaves me standing there. I smile for myself and shake my head. The only thing I'm still missing for the perfect birthday for her is the present. But I already have an idea.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I'm cuddling with Luke at the couch in our living room. It's my birthday and it seems to me like no one even remembers. I mean, I don't need to get expensive and luxury presents from my parents or my boyfriend. I mean, one stupid wish and hug and maybe a little kiss would be enough. Even none of my best friends don't remember it's my birthday. I'm 18 today and it seems like people I really care about don't have any idea that I was born exactly 18 years ago. Suddenly the door bell rings. I look up at Luke and he smiles at me and indicates me with a little move of his head to go open the door. I stand up lazily and walk slowly to the door. I open it and see a redhead girl standing there. "Hello birthday girl. Happy birthday" she says with a big smile and pulls me into the hug. "Thanks" I mumble and then I realize that behind her is car with two boys. "Go change, we have a lot of stuff to do today" she says and winks at me. "I'm sorry, I can't go anywhere. I'm grounded and I'm not here alone" I mumble. "Oh" she says and the smile disappears from her face. "Is everything okay, doll?" I hear voice from behind me and then a pair of arms wraps around my waist. "Yeah, uhmm, that's Lea, my best friend and that's Luke, my boyfriend" I introduce them to each other. "Hi" Luke says to her. "Hey" she says to him. "I think you should go. By the way, your dad's not even here, he doesn't have to know" Luke whispers in my ear. "And what about you?" I ask him quietly. "Hey, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Don't forget who I am. Anyway, we're together like all the time. You should spend some time with your friends" he whispers and I nod. "Go change" he says and push me to the direction of my room.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Fine, just stick to the plan" I tell redhead girl when she goes change to her room. "Hey, don't tell me what to do" she pouts at me. "I just wanna be sure everything will be just the way we agreed" I say. "Don't worry. She'll be back exactly in four hours" she says. "Great" I say. I want to add something, but I can't because she comes back in white summer dress. She looks so stunning. "Have fun doll" I tell her and kiss her. If I wouldn't have so much stuff to du, I would press her against the wall right now and right here, without caring about anything. Okay, stop thinking just about sex Lucas, I tell myself in my mind. I smile at her and then they start to walk to the car. When they're gone, I close the door and look around myself. I'm here alone. I have four hours to make everything perfect. I have four hours to do everything what I need for tonight. I have four hours to get everything ready. Let's start then.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

"So, where are we going?" I ask my three friends, but they just change their looks. "It's a surprise" the blonde boy called Jordan says. "Really?" I ask and raise my eyebrow. "Really. And it's not the only one" the redhead girl next to me answers my question. I open my mouth to ask another question but Lea's look shuts me up. I close my mouth and sigh. Honestly, I don't want to celebrate my birthday. Yeah, I mean, I wanted my friends to remember, but not pull me out of the house. I wish it would just be another lazy day. I don't know what my friends planned for me, but as I know Lea, one of the actvities is definitely shopping. I mean, she's not one of those girls who would care about their clothes and make up, but she loves shopping. I love it too, but I'm really not in the mood today.
