The Tour

05

"Nicky you made it" Michael shouted as I entered the party

"I did" I replied back before hugging him "and before you say it I know you're sorry I don't need an apology you didn't know he was going to be an ass" I replied as he nodded

"You know I -"

"You know you would have told me me Michael it's fine no bad blood here. I just want a drink and to enjoy my night" I smiled as he nodded and took my hand dragging me to the bar where everyone else was gathered

"I'll be back in a minute get yourself a drink and put it on my tab" he shouted before quickly running off to great other guests at the door.

I quickly looked around the bar and realised I didn't recognise anyone nearby so stood awkwardly as I waited for the busy bartender to catch my eye so I could order and swiftly move to somewhere with someone I knew.

As I waited I looked down at my phone and saw a message from Kensie

Kensie: I mean it Nicky don't do anything stupid!

I grinned at the message before a arm wrapped around my waist making me jump slightly

"Don't do anything Kensie wouldn't do" a voice I knew too well whispered in my ear as I shook my head

"Did anyone ever tell you it's rude to read over peoples shoulders" I replied spinning myself around and looking straight into my ex boyfriends eyes "and please for the love of god detach yourself from me" I said peeling his arm off my waist

"Can I get some service please" he suddenly shouted causing one of the bartenders to quickly walk towards him...plus of hosting the party I guess "I'll have two rum and cokes please. Don't make hers to strong though she's a lightweight" he joked as I rolled my eyes

"You don't need to buy me drinks Luke I can buy my own" I replied reaching for my purse to give him money to prove a point

"Your money is no good here Nicky. Plus you've given me enough happiness tonight just by wearing that dress" he replied passing me my drink "drink up sweetheart I'll see you later" he said winking before leaving me alone again at the bar.

I walked away in the opposite direction still trying to look out for any familiar bodies anywhere. Each group I passed had someone I vaguely knew but not enough to converse with. Ideally I'd have one of the 5sos boys with me or at least one of my own friends from home so I didn't look so alone.

"You look lost" someone said tapping my shoulder as I turned around and smiled seeing Ashton

"Boy am I glad to see you! I know no one here" I laughed as he nodded

"I thought that might be the case...in all honesty I'm the same most of these people are friends of friends of friends" he replied reassuring me "I didn't think you'd come"

"I wasn't going to but after this evening I didn't want him to think he'd won"

"Good thinking...you could just write a song back to him" he suggested as I shook my head

"What and give all the fans more satisfaction of knowing mine and his love lives no thanks" I replied as he nodded

"Well you know the offer is always there for help co writing" he replied as I thanked him

"Where's the main party then?" I asked trying to change the subject quickly

"First door on the left" he replied pointing to the corridor to the side of us "just a heads up though Luke see seems to of made that his base for the evening so enter with caution"

"Thank you Ash" I replied hugging him before making my way to the main room

As I entered the base from the speakers rushed through my body throwing me off guard a little. The room was barely lit up by the small LEDs that had been put in each corner but they were barely worth it with the amount of bodies blocking in here the light.

I downed the rest of my drink before wriggling my way into the crowd wanting to dance and just escape what had happened today. For the first time since I got here I had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to be alone. No Luke. No friends. Just Nicky.

As I danced I felt an arm creep around my waist and sway with me. I didn't want to check who it was but knew if I didn't I'd regret it and begin to feel anxious that someone random was touching me.

"Oh it's you" I sighed turning around and seeing Luke yet again

"Don't sounds so upset darling" he replied lifting my chin up to look him in the eyes "you're beautiful you know that right?" He asked as I nodded

"I know you used to tell me all the time" I replied as he smiled

"I should have carried on... I can't believe you have that dress on. You know it would get my attention."

"What this old thing? I forgot I had it" I lied as he shook his head clearly seeing straight through me

"You can't lie to save your life" he replied as I shook my head

"I could lie if I wanted to"

"Is that so?" He asked as I nodded before his lips quickly connected with my neck slowly planting kisses down the side of it causing me to let out a small moan "so good at lying you can't even pretend you don't like me anymore" he chuckled to himself as I blushed. I hate the hold he has on me.

"It's not because I like you Luke it's because I've had a drink and you're being flirty anyone would react to that" I snapped back before he placed a finger on my lips signalling for me to be quiet

"You but you're not just anyone to me Nicky"
