chapter 20

Lauren's P.O.V.

we hopped in the car and drove to Vue De Monde (if yall don't know what that is, it's okay, we don't either! we googled fancy Australian restaurants😂) we hopped out the car and walked in hand and hand. Luke walked me up to the hostess and told her about our reservations. "I'm sorry I can't seem to find them...." she says. "well how long is the wait?" Luke asked. I could tell he was trying to be as calm as possible.

"it seems the wait is 1 hour and 45 minutes sir" I felt Luke tense up a little. "is there anyway we can have an earlier time?" "sir I'm sorry we have plenty of others that want a table just as much as you!" she said "I can check one more time for your reservation but I'm afraid that's all I can do."

Luke and I sat down on a bench in the restaurant and waited. about 10 minutes later the hostess came back out and informed us that she had found our reservations. she walked us to our table and all I can say is wow! it was so beautiful and elegant with the dim special lighting fixtures and perfect white table cloths. Luke and I sat across from each other and looked at the menu.

"so do you see anything you like on here?" he asked. "to be honest, I haven't heard of most of this!" I confessed. "me either!" he exclaimed. I looked up at Luke but my eyes were drawn straight to a brunette with long, curly hair and many tattoos. Harry. Harry styles. Harry styles my ex! apparently he saw me too and started walking over.

"Lauren so great to see you!" he said with a hug and fake smile plastered onto his face. I didn't hug back. "ummm, Lauren who is this?!" Luke asked kind of concerned. shit. now I'm sitting here in the middle of my beloved boyfriend and dumb ass ex and IM going to have to explain it all. just... great.

"ummm lu-Uke this is,umm, this is, uh, Harry my, uhh, eeex..." I barely stuttered out. "I know you miss me..." Harry whispered into my ear "all those...fun...times we had" he said with a smirk. |backstory time: I met Harry. we dated. he was very, very, very abusive to me.|

a single tear slipped down my cheek. "Lauren, bab- I'm sorry you really have to leave!" Luke said directed toward Harry. "and what if I don't?" Harry asked. he was asking for it. that's it Luke was pissed! he walked over to another table and grabbed their food. it just so happened to be spaghetti... and well, let's say Harry walked away with a face full of red sauce and we got kicked out of the restaurant. wasn't the best night of my life.

Once we got outside Luke pulled me into a kiss and apologized for everything. "aww, baby, it's okay! you didn't mean for it to end like this! you were just mad" I assured him. "well we have to go somewhere for dinner! don't we?" he asked. "it's really okay...we don't have to" I said. "no! let's go get nandos!" "alright then, if you insist!" I said. so, we hopped in the car and did right as he said.

once we got the food, we hopped back in the car. "why don't we just eat here?" Luke asked. "I dint see why not!" I replied. so here we are, two teenagers in a tuxedo and fancy dress eating nandos in a car! why not right?! "so lauren..." Luke said "I was wondering if you would like to......
