Age is But A Number (L.H. Fic)

Chapter 6 (Luke P.O.V)

Wow.

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Demi emerge from her room with Haley. She was beautiful. I felt like a stupid school boy with a crush and it only got worse when her green eyes met mine.

Feeling the blush creep up my face I tried my best to cover it up with a smile as charming as it comes. I offered her my arm; which she took, and escorted her out to the waiting van.

She slid in next to me and I subtly looked her over before I was drawn into the small conversation the lads were having.

"Im ready to party. Our tour starts in a week and we wont get much time to go out." Ashton has to bring up the exciting fact that we will once again, be going on tour around the world. I couldnt fight the grin that spread across my face.

"I cant wait. Im ready to play our music for our fans. I feel like its been way to fuckin' long since we had a show. I miss the rush."

Playing for a crowd of thousands was my escape. Just music in general. But playing for our fans gave me this rush that I would never forget. Their screams, and chants. Shouting my name and singing along to our lyrics.

Best feeling in the world. I couldnt get enough.

Not too long after we got into the topic of our up coming tour the van pulled to a stop in front of our destination. Since I was closest to the door I slid it open and held my hand out to Demi.

Her hand, the second it touched mine, ignited a fire in my so hot I thought I was on fire. Wow, that was so cliché, but there was really no other way to describe it. She smiled so politely at me I had to look away. Shes driving me crazy, and I just met her!

Once inside we sat down at one of the few VIP sections and Ashton called over our usual waitress, Sonya. A attractive blonde, who tried too hard. Calum leaned across a lap and ordered us a round of two shots each. Lets get this party started. I could use a drink.

I listened to Demi question our ability to buy the liquor since here in America, were still underaged; which caused me to laugh as Calum made it known that we may be young, but fame gets you things.

Shots, down and two beers in, Michael and I were the only ones left sitting. Calum had went off with some red head and Ashton was dancing with some girl who I cant remember.

I had my eyes glued on the one girl whos attention I wanted as she danced with Haley. I could tell that Michael was watching as well. He pushed himself up with what sounded like a growl and he walked off and took Haley from Demi. The way they were with eachother; the way he was around her. Treating her like she was his queen, loving her, made me want exactly that even more.

So I took a risk. I got up and made my way to the cute drunk girk dancing alone. Stepping up to her she turned around and I shot her a lopsidrd smile,

"Dance with me?"

Her bright green eyes flicked to my face as she gave me a smirk that made me crazy. She turned back around as she lost herself in the song. I glued myself to her and placed my hands on her hips. The way she moved against me really got me going, it didnt help any having all this alcohol in my system.

We danced for a while before she wrapped her petite hand around my wrist and pulled me through the crowd of hot bodies and to the bar. She ordered us two more shots and at this point I couldnt get enough of her. I practically buried my face in her neck.

"You look so beautiful." I let the words spill from my mouth as I complimented her on her beauty once again and told her I was glad she came. She laughed at me.

"If I didnt I would be bored as fuck."

Oh dear god. She was cute.

Laughing at her cursing, which was also cute, I threw back my shot the bartender gave us which caused a pause in our conversation. After I placed the glass back on the bar the look on her face changed. She looked serious, or a little less loose. Her eyes met mine again and my heart sank,

"Im sorry Luke but I should head home. I have a long day tomorrow."

Her words were like a punch in the gut, I scared her off. I moved too fast and now she was running away.

Damnit! Why do I always do that?

Nodding my head I gave her a weak smile, "Its okay, I understand." We walked back to the boys and it made my chest ache even more when I saw Mikey sitting there, arm draped across Halegs shoulder, lips softly pressed to her neck.

"Come on. Lets head home, its late." The lads all agreed and we piled back into the van. When we pulled up in front of Demi's apartment she looked back at me and gave me a small, almost sad smile before she mumbled a goodnight and left my side.

I knew that trying to build anything with her was a risk, not because of the fact that she worked for us, but mostly because she was 22 and I was still only 18 and in the eyes of our fans, that would cause a riot. But I wasnt willing to let her slip from my grasp. I needed to get to know more of her and I needed her in my life as more than just my stylist.
