On the Road Again || Luke Hemmings

Part Thirty-Five

"Wake up beautiful." Luke whispered in my ear. I fluttered my eyes open and rolled over to face him. He smiled at me before placing his lips on mine. "Happy anniversary sweetie." He grinned. "Happy anniversary Lewi." I smiled and pecked his lips once more. "I cant believe we've been together for 2 years." I exhaled and he nodded. "I can." He said and i furrowed my eyebrows at him. "Amanda, i knew the day that Deysi showed me that picture of you that i was in love with you. I couldnt stop talking about you. I was always telling Michael how much i wanted to talk to you and then he finally gave me your number but i would always chicken out," He blushed and i giggled. "And remember the first time we met over facetime? I felt like i was going to pass out."

"So Deys, what are you doing tonight?" I asked into my phone. I was currently laying on my bed, facetiming my new friend Deysi that i met on twitter. Within the few weeks that we've known each other, we've become closer than i have ever been with any of my other friends. "Oh, well Michael came to visit a couple days ago, so i think we're just going to hang out and stay in." She responded. Oh yeah, did i mention she's dating Michael Clifford? Or did i mention that i am now friends with Michael Clifford? "Oh well thats cool, tell him i said hi." I smiled. "Michael!" She yelled. "What!" He yelled back, running into the room. "Oooh who ya talkin' to?" He asked, grabbing the phone out of her hand. His face soon appeared on my screen and i smiled. "Oh, hey Amanda!" He yelled, making me laugh. "Hi Michael." I waved. "So Amanda, still got a crush on little Lukey Pookey?" He asked and my face flushed. "Michael shut up! He could hear you!" I heard Deysi yell. My eyes widened. "Fuck, he's there?" I asked, trying to sound calm. "Yup. And i think he likes you." He said, poking the camera. "He does not." I mumbled and Michael laughed. "Yeah okay! Thats why when Deysi showed him a picture of you a couple weeks ago, he said that you're really pretty and now you're his lockscreen! And ever since then he's been going on and on about you. It's getting pretty annoying actually." Michael gushed and my face went completely red. "Hey! Wanna talk to him?" He asked and i quickly shook my head no. "Michael thats not a goo-" "Hey Luke! Want to finally meet your girlfriend?" He yelled and i heard some scrambling in the background. "Ha, eager are we?" He laughed. "Shut up Michael." Luke grumbled before snatching the phone out of his hand. His face came on screen and we locked eyes. He stared at me for a few seconds before snapping out of his trance. "Hi Amanda." He smiled shyly, his cheeks turning pink. I let out a breath and smiled back. "Hi Luke."

"Yeah i remember Lewi. But i thought it was cute." I giggled and he kissed my forehead. "You were cute. I on the other hand, was a wreck." He laughed. "And remember when i asked you to be my girlfriend at the concert?"

"Come on Em! We need to hurry up and get in. Luke has a security guard waiting for me. He said he needs to tell me something." I said, as me and Emily got in line. Me and Luke have been talking for the past month and a half and things are going great. But today would be the first we're actually meeting in person. He sent me two front row tickets for their concert and of course i brought my best friend Emily along. "What do you think he needs to tell you?" She asked and i shrugged. "I honestly have no idea, but im assuming its important." I said "Are you excited about finally meeting him in person?" "Yes and no." I mumbled and she tilted her head. "Why no?" She asked and i shook my head. "Because what if he doesnt like me in person? What if he doesnt like how big i am, or if im not as pretty as he thought i was through a screen." I sighed and Emily hugged me. "Dont say that. Im sure those kinds of things mean nothing to him. Michael and Deysi havent stopped telling you how much he likes you. Im sure nothing can change how he feels about you Amanda." She reassured me and i felt myself blush. "I just really like him a lot Em. Like more than when he was just a boy in a band that i fell in love with. Like now it feels like im actually falling in love with him." I exhaled and Emily smiled at me. "Come on, we need to get you to where Luke wanted you to wait." We walked over to a small hidden corridor in the venue that Luke told me wait in, and that a guard would come over to get me. It took me awhile to find it considering the venue is huge and the corridor was well, like i said, hidden. After about 10 minutes of searching, we finally found it and a security guard was already standing there. My breath hitched in my throat and Emily draped an arm around me. "Dont be scared okay. You got this. Im gonna go find our seats now alright? Good luck." She smiled. "O-okay. Thanks Em. I love you." I called as she began walking away. "Love you too!" She yelled. I took a deep breath and began walking over to the guard. "Uh, h-hi. Im Amanda." I mumbled and he nodded. "Okay, follow me." He said and began leading me further down the hallway. "You dont need to see ID or anything?" I asked, considering that went a lot smoother than i thought it would. "No. Luke told me what you'd be wearing and gave me a picture so i could recognize your face. And he also said that you were going to be really shy, so that was a dead give away as well." He chuckled. "Okay, here we are," He said. "Take this pass, and the boys dressing room is the second door on the right. Good luck." He finished, patting my shoulder. I muttered a quiet thank you then grabbed the pass out of his hand and strung it around my neck. I began walking down a small hallway until i reached a door that in big letters said
