I Cant Help Falling In Love With You

I woke up, my body entwined with the crisp, white bed sheets as the bright white sun shone through the flowing, almost transparent curtains of our balcony window/door. Calum wasn't there, but a note was pinned on his bedside cabinet.

'Good morning baby girl. Ashton, Michael and myself have gone to look around Paris and thought you might want to have a lie in. Luke isn't feeling very well, so he should be around somewhere. I love you lots - Cal Xx'

I carefully folded the piece of paper up and placed it gently back down before stretching and making my way to our large bathroom, stripping down and placing my clothes on the balcony, rushing back inside so that no one would see me. I began to wash my hair singing along to Twenty Øne Piløts cover of 'I can't help falling in love with you' as I did so. My private concert was interrupted as I heard banging outside of the bathroom. Well it wasn't Ash and Lola this time. I turned off the shower and the noise continued, followed by frustrated yells. I grabbed the detachable shower head, wrapped a towel around me and warily crept out of the bathroom. A tall figure was sat on the sofa, I panicked, with a small scream, I smacked the figure around the top of the head with the shower head. Aw crap.

Luke sat on the sofa with a bag of frozen peas over his forming wound grumpily. I was dressed now in my skinny jeans, all black converse and a black and white sweatshirt, and just finished the process of drying my hair.
"I just wanted to play video games" Luke whined, sticking his bottom lip out. I bit my lip awkwardly and sat beside him.
"I know that NOW Luke, but I thought you were an intruder!" I exclaimed.
"An intruder wearing penguin pyjamas?" Luke smirked.
"Well I didn't know that at the time you dork." We laughed together.
"So Cal said you were feeling ill?" I asked, turning the TV on. Luke nodded in response, I had to say, he was looking paler than usual.
"Nothing major. I should be okay to play by the time of the concerts here." He sniffled. My phone beeped in single that I had a text.

"Hey princess, sorry but the boys and I have decided to have a night out, I'll behave, if you want you can have Luke over. If you behave too. I love you - Cal Xx"

I showed Luke the message with a sigh. And so our day consisted of video games and movies until 2am.
"Let's get ready to sleep then." I yawned. Luke nodded in agreement as I left to get changed. I sifted through my clothes.
"Fuck.. I don't have any pyjamas.. And all my shirts are for days in the week.." I rolled my eyes.
"Stuck?" Luke was leaning in the doorway in his 'YOU COMPLETE MEss' shirt and his boxers. It wasn't awkward between Luke and I. It never was. I nodded with a sigh.
"Well just take this." Luke shrugged and pulled his shirt off, tossing it to me and walking into the other room to turn the TV off. I blushes slightly and clutched the shirt, pulling it over a black sports bra. And my trackies from the other night with a smile. The shirt smelled familiarly of Luke's Lynx deodorant and for some reason, a warm, sweet smell of candy floss which was not surprising for an innocent boy of Luke's kind. My phone went off. It wasn't Calum. More texts from my creepy ex boyfriend. I swear I blocked his number... Which was the even scarier thing..

' I love you Tana.'
'We'll be together soon.'
'I'll always be here.'

I shook it off and walked into the bedroom and Luke was on my bed.
"So where's my bed?" He asks with a smile.
"We only have one.." I blushed and bit my lip. Luke raised his eyebrows, speaking whilst standing up and walking away.
"I'll go sleep on the couch and-" he started.
"No!" I jumped at grabbed his arm. I was still really shaken up from the texts.
"We can sleep top and tail? Like two little girls at a sleepover!" I giggled.
"I'm not sure how I feel about being referred to a little girl, but sure." Luke laughed and climbed back in and I did the same. Luke's shirts reached halfway down my thigh and was extremely baggy on me. I turned off the lights and turned over.
"Night Luke."
"Night Tana."

5 A.M -
"Tana.."
"What NOW Luke?!" I sighed.
"Do you think turtles get scared?"
"Shut up Luke."
