//That Boy Luke Hemmings\\

Chapter 9

I woke up to the smell of bacon. Somehow I got to a bed. I looked around to see the familiar room, which belongs to Luke. I smiled knowing that he carried me to the room last night. I curled up in a mini ball and putting the blanket up to my face. It was Luke's scent. I wished he was here. But I don't know where he was. But there was a scent of bacon so I had to get up.

I walked down the stairs sleepily only to see Michael leaning on Luke on the couch. "What the hell?!" I higher the volume of my voice. I knew Michael like Luke. There wasn't a problem with it until he was cuddling with my boyfriend. But I don't know the whole story. Luke wouldn't do this... Would he? "Babe, it's nothing. I'm just trying to think of ways he could prevent cutting." Luke says. Michael looks up at me, his eyes full of tears. I didn't need an explanation. Nobody deserves to feel like this.

I went to.comfort Michael. I look over at Luke as he cares so much about Michael. Its so sweet. I mouthed towards Luke "what happened?" "I don't know" he shrugs.

"Michael, what makes you like this? Why?" I ask politely.

"I-it's my mom" is all he says. "What about her?" we both question.

"Well she i-is i-in town this week." he says. "And something kind of slipped out of my mouth" he says nervously. Me and Luke both look at each other worrying.

"What?" Luke finally speaks up

"I kind of said "Can I bring my boyfriend- I mean friends?" and she sais sure bring your boyfriends. She knows I'm Pansexual. So I'm pretty sure she thought I meant boyfriend" Michael says.

"So why can't you say you meant friends?" Luke suggested.

"I'll call her but you guys have to help me. Please?" he pleaded. We both nodded as he grabbed his phone.

"Hi sweetie!" his mom says

"Hey mom. Uhm I need to talk"

"Hmm?" she said.

"Remember when you told me to bring my boyfriend?" Michael started.

"Yeah..." she says with a little concern

"Well I meant friends, mom, it slipped pit of my mouth." he said with Worry as he looks at me.

"Oh that's fine. You didn't think I was gonna yell at you did you?" she asks even more concern.

"Uh n-no I didnt" he lies and we all know it. "So, can I bring my friends? There's only two who would come so it's not much. We're going to dinner right?" he asks quietly.

"Of course you can hun. And yeah we're going to dinner tonight! At six. I'll be picking the three of you up" she says excitingly.

"Okay mom. Love you" he says happily

"Love you too Mikey, bye"

"Bye" he hangs up.

"Well that went well" I clearly state. "Wait, Why we're you thinking she was gonna yell at you?" "oh. I-I don't know." he lies. "Michael, you're lying. Stop. Tell us. Please" Luke says.
"Well it's kinda because she would always yell at me since I was little. Like since my dad died, she would yell at me for everything. L-like lecture me over everything. But I guess she changed" he puts a smile on his face. "Oh" Luke and I both say. I love how Michael is open to us. Then I remembered. The bacon smell.

"Hey why did I smell bacon earlier?" I question
"Uh Well there was bacon and Michael ate it all" Luke says unsure. "I did not!" Michael yells "we ate it all" they say disappointingly. I was sad. I wanted some bacon. "Boyfriend, why didn't you save me any?" I ask sassily. He only shrugs and hands me a piece of toast. I wasn't even that hungry but there's always room for bacon.

I ate the piece of toast slowly. It was only 11 in the morning so we had awhile to dinner. Of course, Michael went to his room. I informed Luke I was gonna take a shower. He was playing FIFA which I didn't mind. I wanted to look somewhat decent today.

After my shower I wanted to put some makeup on because why not? I don't usually wear make up so I thought I should change right? I decided to attempt to put some eye liner on and of course I failed. I just went to adjust it and I think I made it better. But I went with it anyways.

The time now was about 12:30 so we had about five hours. I went to get dressed and I could smell of their daily order of pizza. I wasn't surprised at all. I got dressed nothing that I would wearing to the dinner though. Not yet anyways.

Luke was surprised by my makeup. "Damn. That's hot." he compliments me. "Thanks" I giggle lightly. He puts a kiss softly on my nose. I made my decision to eat a slice of pizza before the boys at it all. Speaking of the boys, Ashton was here as well. They were having another band practice before we were gonna go to dinner.

"Hey ash, wanna go to a dinner with us later?" Michael offers.

"Nah, I'm busy. I have to visit my grandma. It is her birthday today." he complains.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was about 5:45 and Michael had said that his mother was coming. We were all ready. We weren't all fancy or whatever. We were just a little dressed up. I just wore things I usually don't wear. Luke was wearing a sweater like shirt and some black skinny jeans. Which were hot in my opinion. Michael was wearing a leather jacket. Which surprised me. He never wears those.

His mother honked her horn to her car. We all ran out. I locked the door. We ran out to the car. Me and Luke both sat in back and Michael sat up front. She greeted all of us. She seemed really nice. I don't see how she could be mean to Michael like she used too. She started the car and began to drive off.

We got to the restaurant she already had reserved a table for four. We all sat down in a booth. Michael was across from me while I sat next to Luke. For some reason Luke was all cuddly at this dinner. Michael and his mom began bonding. Michael looked happy. "Mikey, I love your hair!" his mom says. Michaels red hair was so bright. Sometimes early in them morning it would hurt my eyes.

We had ordered some appetizers all together. It wasn't really a "expensive" restaurant but I liked it. Of course Michael had gotten a mini pizza. Luke and I got a steak. We thought we should share because it would save money. And we were a couple so it wouldn't really matter anyways. Michaels mom got a salad. She's been so sweet. Then I forgot. Did we have to pay? Eh. We will find out. And if we do I won't really mind. This was a blast really.

We finished all of our food. Michael was the only one who had got desert. I wasn't surprised. But the whole time we shared a few laughs. Michaels mom had shared a dew embarrassing things about baby Michael just like all moms do. We were all done. I began to dig in my purse for my wallet. I finally found my wallet. Stupid purses. I opened my wallet and pulled out some money. "Oh no sweetie! I got it" she said. I just shakes my head insisting i pay. "No no no. I got it" she insisted more. "Okay I'll just pay the tip" I came up with the idea. She agreed. I put 9 dollars on the table.

We walked pit of the restaurant and got in the car. "Thank you" I say. "Yeah, thank you" Luke follows me. We buckled all of our seatbelts. And headed home.
