I sleep through some of the flight, but it's hard to sleep any longer when you're on a plane for twenty hours. Whenever Luke and I are awake at the same time we attempt to watch a movie, but he ends up falling asleep. He sleeps a lot more than me, but I enjoy watching him sleep. He keeps his hand in mine even when he is passed out.

After a little over twenty dreadful hours, we finally land. As we step off of the plane, the jet lag hits me all at once and all I want to do is sleep. Luckily their show isn't until tomorrow, so we have plenty of time to do what we want. Sleeping for a long time is in the near future for me.

After getting our luggage, we are driven to our hotel in two, large SUVs. I have a hard time not falling asleep in the car, but when we arrive at the hotel within a few minutes, I get a sudden burst of energy. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and I can't believe that we are actually going to be staying here. The boys don't seem phased, but Linley and I are in awe as we step out of the car. I wasn't used to this much luxury.

We haul all of our belongings up the steps to the hotel and make our way inside the huge, white building. When we are finished checking in, we head up in the elevator to the seventh floor. Luckily our rooms were all close. Linley and Michael's room was across from our's, and Calum and Ashton's was next to their's. We separate and check out each of our own rooms. Our room is beautiful with an amazing view of the beach as well. The open kitchen and living room remind me of our old apartment. Our bedroom isn't too big, but the king bed is always a nice touch. We wouldn't be in here much anyways.

We all look at our rooms, all three set up differently. We look outside of our room to see a few big pools and hot tubs, which we will obviously have to take advantage of. As we are sitting on Michael and Linley's couch, the tiredness washes over me once again. I notice Luke yawn as well and we decide to go back to our room to sleep.

Thank goodness that there are curtains in our room, because I wouldn't be able to sleep with all of the beautiful light shining in. We really should be taking advantage of the beautiful beach and city that we are in, but for now I have to sleep or else I would fall over.

Luke strips his shirt after darkening our room and of course I can't help but stare at his beautiful body. When he crawls into bed, I immeditely snuggle myself up to his warm, bare chest. He naturally wraps his arms around me and I almost forget that we are not back home in Australia on a normal night.

"I feel bad. I feel like we should be out enjoying this amazing city, but here we are in bed," I giggle quietly.

"Babe, it's only 11 in the morning. We have plenty of time to sleep plus explore the city tonight. Trust me, none of us are used to the jet lag either. The others are gonna sleep probably longer than us. But when we wake up, we can go out and do whatever you want," he says with a sleepy smile.

"Okay. I can't wait," I whisper and smile back.

"Until then, sweet dreams. You're gonna sleep great," he laughs. "I love you."

"I love you Luke," I say and bring my lips to his for a quick peck.

We both fall asleep instantly and Luke is right, I sleep amazingly. I sleep straight through the day and am shocked when I wake up and it is already 6:30 PM. I am still tired, but not tired enough to sleep again right now. I needed to be able to fall asleep later anyway. Luke is still sleeping peacefully next to me, out like a light. I giggle to myself and decide against waking him.

I gently pull myself out of his arms and grab some things out of my bathroom bag before heading to the bathroom. I strip myself of my clothes and hop into the shower. The hot water feels good against my skin and I debate on staying in here for the rest of the night. As I stand there under the falling water for what feels like hours, I suddenly feel hands on my back.

"Oh my God." I am startled and turn around to find Luke with a smile. "You scared me to death, how did you manage to get in here without me hearing?" I ask with a laugh.

"I'm just that good. Why didn't you invite me?" He asks with a fake pouty face.

"I didn't want to wake you up, you were sleeping so good. You even had a little bit of drool on your cheek," I laugh again.

"Shut up, no I didn't," he says shyly. "And I was sleeping great, but I still would never pass up a shower with you," he smirks.

"Oh really," I say as he moves closer to me.

"Really," he whispers before bringing his lips to mine. His hands rest gently on the small of my back, heating my whole body with the gentle touch. "Turn around," he whispers against my lips.

"Why?" I ask with a giggle.

"Just do it." He smiles.

I do as he says and turn around slowly. Before I know it, his hands are on my head, massaging shampoo into my hair. I can't help but let the eyes roll to the back of my head, his fingers felt so good running through the strands. He is careful of the tangles and gently brushes out each one. He turns me around to face him once again and I let the water rinse my hair clean of the delicious-smelling substance.

Next, he grabs the body wash and massages my bare body. His hands heat every spot and send chills down my spine. Each touch is fire against my skin, sending goosebumps up my arms even with the hot water falling against us. When he has finished, I do the same for him. He faces me and has to bend down a little in order for me to reach the top of his head. We both laugh and I kiss his forehead, since I don't get the chance to do that very often. I can tell that he is enjoying my fingers running through his flat hair and I enjoy the smile on his face. I wash his tall body afterwards and then we stand under the water, clutching each other's bodies.

I don't know how long this is going to last, traveling around the world while he's on tour, not staying in one place. But I do know one thing for sure: waking up next to Luke, standing under the shower water with him, holding him in my arms; this is going to be the rest of my life.
