Come Find Me || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 11: The Dinner with Morgans

*MADISON'S POV*

I wake up in the morning. When I check the time it's almost 9am. Gosh, I have never been sleeping for so long. Well, maybe the late night phone call with Luke has something to do with it. I involuntarily get out of the bed, put my bath robe on and go to the bathroom. I take a shower to help me to not to be sleepy and making me look fresh. When I'm done with my quick 10 minutes morning shower, I go back to my room and put some clothes on. It's kinda cold today, so I choose to wear my grey sweater. When I'm ready I go downstairs straight to the kitchen. "Good morning" I greet my parents and my brother. "Good morning sweetheart" my mom replies to me and my brother just make some move with his head to greet me since he has his mouth full of cereals. I look at my dad and he's scanning me with his look. I sit down on the chair next to Nathan and patiently waiting for my dad to start his monologue. "Good morning young lady" he says when he put down the newspaper. Here we go. "So, we will continue right where we ended last night, before your mother interrupted our conversation. That boy. Name, age, what is he doing. You know, just the basics" he says more like a cop than a father who is interested in his daughter's life. "He's musician" I tell him and take a sip of my orange juice. "And?" he asks with raised eyebrow. "He's 18" I tell him. "Just tell me his stupid name" he slightly raise his voice and hit the table with his fist. "Kevin" my mum shouts at him. "Don't try to shut me up Caroline. She's just 17. She doesn't know anything about stuff like this. And you know that today's relationships are far away from what we had when we were in their age" he speaks to my mum. "Madison, the name" he turns to me. I gulp. I don't want him to know anything. I know this is just the way how he's protecting me, but it's just too much. I'm old enough to take care of myself. "Madison" he speaks to me once again. "Luke" I say quietly, but it's loud enough for him to hear that. "Luke who? What's his last name?" I feel his look on me. I don't have to look at him and I know he's looking at me. "Hemmings" I say even quietly than before, but I'm sure he heard that. I look up at him and he nods. No, this wasn't an approval of having any type of relationship with him. This is more like a silence before the storm. "Well, since you came really late last night, you won't get out of this without a punishment. Give me your phone Madison" he says and my jaw almost drops. My phone? Is he serious? He can take my computer or anything else like he did many times before. But not my phone. He never took my phone before. He waits with his hand reaching to me, expecting me to put my phone in there. I slowly reach into the pocket on my jeans and pull out the phone. I put it in his hand. My mum is just confusedly watching the whole situation. Just like my brother Nathan. I am sitting here for few more seconds and when he doesn't say anything, I stand up and full of anger run upstairs to my room. I shut the door and throw myself on the bed.

*LUKE'S POV*

I wake up to the sound of ringing phone. My phone. I reach my hand for the phone and look at the screen. I spot Madison's name and I quickly sit up. What if something happened? "Mads?" I pick it up. "No, this is her father" the person on the other side of the phone speaks. I freeze. "Mr. Morgan? Is Madison alright?" I ask worriedly. "Yeah, she's fine. I just talked to her last night and I thought that... What are you doing tonight Luke?" he asks me. "Uhmm, I don't have any plans yet. Why are you asking me?" I start to be suspicious. What's going on here? Why is he calling me from her phone? "Well, I was thinking that I might invite you to join me and my family for the dinner tonight. You know, I just want to know you better" he says and I swear he just smirks on the other side of the phone. "Yeah, sure. Why not" I say. "Okay, so, at 7 in ARIA Restaurant" he says. "Fine, I'll be there" I nod even when he can't see me. Why would he invites me for the dinner? I mean, I'm not even dating her, but maybe he thinks we are. But I need to make a really good first impression.

*MADISON'S POV*

I'm staring at the screen of my computer when I hear a knock on the door. "Yeah?" I say without any sign of interest. "Hi beautiful" my dad walks in. "What do you want?" I ask him. "Why's that tone in your voice?" he asks and I just shrug. "Well, I just came to tell you to get ready because we're going out for a dinner tonight. "Well, have fun" I tell him and I'm sure he didn't expect answer like this. "No darling, it's really important dinner and you have to go" he says like I would really care. "Well, I wish you to have a good time and I hope it's gonna be successful, but I'm not coming" I refuse to go. "Madison Macey" he stands up. "You better start to get ready now, because we're leaving like in 2 hours" he orders and when he set up this tone of the voice, I know I can't choose to stay or go. I have to go if I like it or not. "Is everything okay here?" my mum asks when she walks by my room. "Yeah" my dad replies. "Mum?" I speak to her and my dad gives me a look. "Yes sweetheart?" she asks. "Can you do my hair later?" I ask her another question and she nods with a smile on her face.
