When the door knocks both Aria and Luke make a move to answer it but Aria ends up standing first

"They'll only recognise you and then my dad will know you're still here." Aria says, Luke nods and she makes her way to the front door

"Hi, pizza for Hemmings?" The delivery guy says, Aria grabs some money from her pocket and hands it to him before taking her pizza

"Thanks!" Shutting the door, Aria makes her way into the living room and sets the pizza down between both of them and he eagerly opens it, he lifts out a slice but before putting it in his mouth he stares at Aria intently

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah sure, why wouldn't I be?" She asks before taking a bite

"Well, I mean with what we've done... are you okay with it?"

"You mean us having sex?" Aria asks without looking at him

"Yeah."

"Yeah, I suppose." Luke sighs loudly before standing up and walking to the window of the room

"Don't be awkward." He says sternly and Aria shoots him a dirty look and he rolls his eyes before she takes a calming breath, Aria knows that both of them are being awkward but not caring she stands up and leaves the room, running upstairs to her bedroom.

@Ariaa_Irwin: u would think getting pizza would put you in a better mood, obviously not...

The bedroom door knocks and Aria sighs, knowing its Luke.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah."

He comes in and bites his lip when he sees her curled up on her bed, he sits down and the bed dips and Aria turns to look at him "I'm sorry for being awkward, I just feel guilty," Aria tells him truthfully, she can see his questioning eyes and she immediately starts playing with the bracelet on her wrist "Dad will hate me, he'll hate you even more though if he ever finds out what we did."

"You're eighteen Aria! You're practically an adult..."

"But he doesn't see it that way Luke! To him I'm his baby, I'm his only child. Why am I so stupid? Mum would be so disappointed!" Aria exclaims, she lets her head fall into her hands and Luke quickly moves to wrap his arms around her body and he lifts her so her head is against his chest

"You're not stupid." He tells her "You're far from it and your mum wouldn't be disappointed Aria. Ashton just wants you to be happy, just like all of us in the band, we just want you to be happy- I want you to be happy and if you're not happy with me then we can stop this, we don't have to do this."

"I am happy with you." Aria whispers out

"I'm very happy with you." He says "When Ashton first told me about the text messages I actually had to stop myself from smiling in front of him." Aria giggles lightly "We should start over."

"You mean pretend that we never had sex?" Aria asks as she lifts her head, she re-adjusts herself to snuggle in beside him

"No, definitely not. I mean we should just be normal with eachother, like how we would normally act if we were with someone we really liked."

"Well, we should start off by finishing this pizza then." Aria smiles and he agrees. He removes his arms and she allows him to pull her up.

Aria and Luke make conversation as they finish their pizza and Luke grabs her hand halfway through and grins at her with a goofy smile.

"You're really cute." He tells Aria and she knows she's blushing

"Well, thanks." Aria giggles and Luke laughs back, his laugh makes butterflies enter her stomach and her heart skips a few beats when Aria sees his tall form sprawled over the sofa, his elbow propping him up and stopping him from laying his head on her lap. Aria resists the urge to put her hand in his hair and he turns to look at her when he feels her eyes on him.
