Warped Love

31.

Shelby's POV 

We pull up to a beautiful house with huge glass windows and park in the driveway. This was it. I was going to meet the rest of the band and see if they liked me. If they didn't, I don't know what would happen to Michael & I's relationship. 

"WE'RE HOME!" Michael yells through the house. There were other cars in the driveway so obviously someone had to be home. I hear running footsteps down the stairs and 3 guys running towards us. They were like dogs when their owner got home. They envelop us into a huge group hug. When they finally let us go, they introduce themselves. "Calum." The one with black hair and blonde highlights says. "Luke." The blonde one with the lightest blue eyes says. "Hi, I'm Ashton. It's really great to meet you. Michael has said a lot about you, I really hope you like us and I listened to your band and really like your music and I love your voice it's so-" "Dude, at least let her get in the door before you start the KFC story." Calum cuts him off. They laugh and Ashton blushes, a little embarrassed. I finally speak up, "It's nice to meet you too, Ashton. And thank you." I smile. He smiles back. "And it's nice to meet you guys too." I look at Calum and Luke. 

"Let me show you our room." Michael leads me towards the stairs. "After you guys are done do you want to grab lunch with us?" Luke asks. "Yeah, just let me put my bags upstairs." I respond. We get to a huge bedroom with a King sized bed. I drag my suitcases in and flop onto the bed. "Michael, do you think they like me? I'm kinda shy around new people and I feel like they thought I was being rude." I ask. He sits next to me on the bed. "Babe, you didn't seem rude at all. Relax, they like you. Now come on, let's go to lunch." He pulls me off the bed smiling and we head downstairs. 

"Ready to go?" Luke asks, getting his keys. We nod. We all get into a big black car, Luke and Ashton in the front and Calum, Michael, and I in the back. I was, of course, in the middle since I was the smallest. Michael puts his arm around me and pulls me towards him. "Can I ask you something? And be honest." He whispers in my ear. I nod. "Do you really like my hair?" I kiss him on the cheek, "I love it, It's my favorite." He blushes. "Where are we going?" He shrugs. 

Buffalo Wild Wings. Why? We go into the dark restaurant and, luckily, get a booth with the game thing. I immediately pull out my wallet and put a few $1 bills in. "Oh! Lemme play against you in poker." Luke says, sitting across from me.  

"Victory again!" I yell. Luke slumps into his booth and lays onto Ashton. "How can you be that good at a game?" Luke asks desperately. "I learned from a young age." I smirk. Luke continues to whine, "But I just w-" We were interrupted by the waitress. "I've got the buffalo chips with cheese, side of ranch." I raise my hand. "Breaded mushrooms." I raise my hand again. The guys look at me, "Well to be fair Mikey & I are sharing the mushrooms." I respond.

"Hey do you guys want to stop by this record store? Looks cool." Ashton asks from the driver's seat. We all agree and pull up in front of it. Michael gets out of the car and holds the store's door open for me, "After you, ma'lady." He says , tipping his imaginary hat. I crack up laughing and grab his hand. I instantly head towards the back for a record I've been dying to buy. "Yes! It's even cheaper here!" I grab the 1975's new record and hug it. I also decide to pick up Coldplay's Parachutes album. I head to the front register, waiting behind Ashton, buying a Green Day vinyl. I feel a hand wrap around my waist, "And what are you getting?" Michael asks, holding his own items, mostly Metallica. I smile, grabbing his items and walking up to the counter. "These 5 things, please." I quickly give the cashier my card before Michael can protest. We walk out and instead of being mad at me, he brings me into a hug and kisses my forehead.
