That Band Guy

Chapter 22- Rome

I turned around. "Luke, you have such a weird morning voice!" I joked, shrugging off that stupid thought as my massive headache hit me. Then I heard an annoyed sigh. "You sure do have a thing for Southerners, don't you Arabella." ALEX said as he turned to face me. "ALEX! HOW-" I was cut off by Mia walking in whilst looking at her phone. "ANNIE WE NEED TO GET GOING! OUR PLANE LEAVES IN AN HOUR AND A HALF AND YOU AREN'T EVEN PACKED!!" Then she looked up. "TURNER! WHAT THE FUCK!" I had forgotten about our trip to Rome and slept with my ex all in one night, yet I still burst out laughing at Mia's expression. "DO YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE!!!! PACK A BAG QUICK OR I'M LEAVING WITHOUT YOU!" She screamed. "Alex, what happened? How did you get here? What about Luke!" I said. "Annie, I'm so sorry, but I forgot everything that happened last night before we shagged." "WHAT! I HAVE A NEW BOYFRIEND" I screamed.

Alex's POV

My plan was beginning to seem successful. Before you ask, no we didn't shag! I came over a few hours ago and talked to Emily. I knew she liked me ( as a friend) and wanted us to be together because she hated Luke. She forgave me a long time ago for what I did to Annie and she and I had become close after Scotland. We talked about my relationship with Annie and she started talking about how tomorrow her and Mia were supposed to leave for Rome to visit some museums for work together. I knew that was my chance to take advantage of the situation. I asked Emily if she could convince Mia that they were leaving today, then tell her their flight was very soon and that they needed to get going. Then, the plan begun. I hid in Annie's closet while Luke and her were asleep and waited quietly for Emily to come in and pick a fight with Luke to get him out. I wanted to just screw the whole plan and strangle Luke and just have Emily and I carry his body away, but I knew better. Only a couple minutes later Emily walked in and started to poke at Luke, pretending to be pissed as hell. Luke got agitated and ran out of the room with her. A few minutes later he came back in looking very annoyed as the bush on his head flopped around. He quickly collected his clothes and wallet and kissed Annie on the cheek without waking her. Ok. Now I really want to strangle this mushroom guy. When he finally left, I came out of the closet and quickly stripped down to nothing and threw my clothes all over the room. Then, like a weird ninja dude (Alex stop that's racist), I hopped in bed with Annie. I put my arm around her silently and quickly fell asleep.
About an hour later, I was awoken by a faint scream coming from downstairs. Mia was probably freaking out at this point trying to pack. As much as I kind of felt bad, I despised her for never trusting me.

"Morning Annie" I said, in my attempt at a really sexy low morning voice even though I had already been awake that day. "Luke?" Annie said, clearly confused. "Luke, you have such a weird morning voice!" (Ok, that hurt a bit) I quickly thought of something witty to say so she would know it was me. "you sure have a thing for Southerners, don't you, Arabella." I smirked at my own cleverness. Ha, touching on the whole Cooper thing whilst making fun of Luke's London accent and calling her Arabella all in the same sentence? Now that's something to be proud of.

Writer's block- GONE! I know this might not make a lot of sense right now, but the next few chapters will clear everything up! Also, the ninja thing was a Submarine reference, but you'd have to know the movie well to get it. team Luke or Team Alex? 😏☺️
