Chapter 9

Aleigha P.O.V.

I ran from Luke as I heard his footsteps chasing after me. I started laughing because honestly this was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. He was the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Realizing this, I stop and turn just in time for Luke to stop before colliding into me. The blue in his eyes seemed to lighten as his face filled with wonder. I knew he thought I was the most beautiful human in the world. And I felt the same towards him.

And that's the part that scared me most. We were two different people from two different worlds. But God, with him standing in front of me, being gorgeous and all, made me realize that I didn't care. I realized that as long as I had him, it would always be okay in the end. I grabbed his shirt, suddenly pulling him to my lips. He was caught by surprise, stumbling a bit but then grabbing my waist. I stood on my tip toes and he brought my waist closer.

"Oh. My. God." We heard a familiar voice say. We pull away, our faces heating up. "Calum I owe you ten bucks!" Michael stood there, smirking, with his arms crossed. "Since when did this happen?" I open my mouth to speak but Luke beats me to it.

"Today actually," he smiles. Calum, Ash, and Mariah all walk in with confused looks.

"Why do I get ten bucks," Calum asks and I chuckle.

"Cause I didn't believe you about the whole Laleigha thing," he says, handing Cal the money. "The ship is sailing, bro." Calums face lights up.

"Laleigha?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Luke plus Aleigha," Mariah informs me. "Laleigha. They've been shipping it too much." It takes a minute for the information to sink in to Mariah. "Wait. You're together?" I mentally facepalm.

"Yes," I squeak out. I look at him and he nods in approval. A squeal makes us turn our heads back.

"That's so cute!" Mariah squeals, jumping up and down. I laugh, rolling my eyes at her. Michael takes a step towards us but I back away, unintentionally. I was used to trying to stay away. I didn't trust him. He hugs Luke quickly and gives me a nod. I look away briefly and then back at Luke. He was staring at me and smirked when I looked back. That smirk was going to be the death of me.

"Come here," he gestures for me and I smile, moving closer. He wraps his arm around me and kisses my forehead.

"Aaaaw," Mariah says. "They're cuter then us, Mikey." Michael walks over and kisses her.

"No one's cuter then us, babe," he smiles. "Well cuter then you, maybe. But not me." She slaps his chest, pulling apart from him. "I'm kidding! I'm kidding. You're absolutely perfect." I smile at how cute they are.

"I wish they didn't interrupt us," Luke whispers to me. "I really was enjoying that kiss." I feel my face heat up and look down quickly.

"Hey, Hemmings," Michael speaks up. "No dirty talk in the club house." My face heats up even more and I hide my face in Luke's chest.

"Fuck you," Luke says. "It's not like you haven't dirty talked to Mariah in here. You have sex every day." I laugh. "I'm not kidding, Leigha. They do."

"At least I can get laid," Michael says and I feel Luke tense up. I try to hold back a laugh but it was too late. I burst into laughter, pulling away from Luke. I was laughing for so long that my stomach started hurting. I looked up at Luke when I was calming down. He had a small smile on his face.

"You done," he asks, slightly annoyed. I start laughing again and actually walk over to Michael, high fiving him. Even I was surprised.

"Now I am," I smile at Luke. I walk back over to him. I see Mariah whisper something to Michael and he nods in approval.

"Aleigha," he speaks and I nod at him to continue. "In order to technically, be a part of our group, so to say. You have to something for an initiation. That is if you want to be in our group?"

"I do," I smile. "More friends the better." Luke brings me closer which kind of worries me. "What do I need to do?"

"Truth or dare," Luke says. "You have to play truth or dare with us."

"That doesn't sound too bad," I say.

"It'll be fun," Calum smiles.

"I promise," Luke whispers.

"Okay," I smile. "Lets play."

--------------------

I found myself, soon after, sitting in a circle with all of my new friends.

"Since she hasn't played with us before," Ashton began. "We'll just have Aleigha ask someone first." He was cuddled against Calum. I was holding hands with Luke, nothing too intimate for a game.

"Okay," I say. I took the easy target. "Luke. Truth or Dare?"

"Um, truth," he smiles.

"Chicken," Michael mumbles. Luke sends a glare his way as I ask the question. I begin to blush before I ask the question.

"Where do you most like to be kissed," I ask, looking anywhere but him.

"Getting down and dirty," Michael says. "I like you." I roll my eyes, still blushing.

"Shut up, Mikey," Luke says. "She's just curious." He kisses my hand. "To answer your question, my neck." I nod, straying my eyes from him. He brings his hand to my cheek and moves it so I'm looking at him. He kisses me quickly on the lips. "Also on the lips." I smile at him. "Especially by you."

"Gag me," Mariah rolls her eyes.

"I bet you like that," Luke turns to her and I open my mouth in astonishment.

"Might wanna close your mouth, Aleigha," Mariah counters back. "Luke takes his chances with any open mouth." I look at Luke and his face is full of anger. He starts to stand.

"You know what," he says. "I'm done." He starts to storm off.

"Luke," I say, but he keeps walking. "Luke!" All I hear is the door slam. Well isn't this lovely.
