Nothing But You [COMPLETED]

Heating Up

Connor sat in the front on the way to the hotel, where they were dropping off their stuff before heading to the signings. Brad had purposefully chosen to sit in the back after Luka's little 'talk' with him earlier, because he didn't want to make her even more on edge. He wanted what they had this morning, and last night, not all these barriers between them. It seemed like every time they were alone in bed, they could relax and be unrestrained, and every day they had to reign it back in.

But that's what Luka wanted. And he wanted Luka. So, he would do whatever she wanted to feel more comfortable with all of this.

Brad wasn't exactly in a bad mood on the drive, so when Connor put on some Arctic Monkeys, he gladly sang along. They all had a great time, even convincing Luka to stop at the Starbucks drive thru for some road fuel. Well, it didn't actually take much convincing - the mention of coffee and she was pretty on board.

They got to the hotel with only a few minutes spare, so Luka rushed them into the waiting car and told them she'd sort out the luggage and rooms. Brad watched her from the car window, her phone tucked between her ear and her shoulder as she maneuvered the bags out of the other car's trunk. When she set them on the ground and straightened up, taking hold of her phone, she turned round to face him, and smiled at him through the window. She gave a little wave, which he returned, and then the car was moving away.

He smiled to himself as they drove. Even though it wasn't labelled, and they had to sneak around, he found himself revelling in how much he was enjoying being with Luka. Yes, she had a hard time explaining her feelings, even struggled to get to the point where she would admit them, but now, it just felt right. It felt right to spend each night with her, to hold her, to kiss her, to be near her. He knew it's better to keep it quiet for now, but he honestly wasn't sure how long he would be able to keep it quiet.

Go with the flow, he thought, which made him snicker to himself.

"What are you laughing about?" James frowned from beside him.

"Uhh..just ...remembering a funny video I saw earlier." Brad stuttered. James nodded, accepting the weak ass excuse. Then Tris turned up the music in the front, and they sang their way to the signing.

Luka texted the group chat an hour later saying that she was overseeing the party set up at the hotel, and would meet them for dinner. They still had their mini security team with them, the liaison at each signing and their driver had the meticulous schedule that Luka passed on to him.

The boys had a great day. They met loads of fans, received some amazing, heartfelt gifts, and signed a lot of albums. It made them absolutely buzz with excitement for the upcoming tour.

Travelling across London was tiring. By the time they got back to the hotel, heading straight to their rooms after Luka texted them the numbers, they were mentally exhausted. It'd been a while since they had experienced the busy schedule of touring and promoting an album, and it seems that today in particular was kicking their asses.

When they got to the floor where their rooms were, Luka was waiting outside their doors.

"You guys look like shit." She laughed, pushing herself off the wall that she was leaning on. "Such a hard life being a rockstar." She pouted mockingly.

"It is actually really tiring. Not like your job which you do half ass all the time." Tris stuck his tongue out at her, swiping the key card from her hand and walking past her to the door.

"Yeah, half ass. Suuuure." She rolled her eyes as she followed them into their room.

Tris and James immediately flopped onto one of the king size beds, groaning into the mattress, while Luka headed past the dining table, mini bar, and opened up the connecting door to the other room.
