Alex's POV

I picked up my backpack and put it on, walking out of the shop. I closed the door and turned to see Luke walking along the pavement towards me. "Hey" I gave him a smile and started walking with him towards my car, I took off my backpack and slung it in the back seat getting in to the driver seat I started up the engine and pulled out "So, is it still Mcdonalds?" You turned to face him a little then looked back at the road so you didn't crash "Yeah, unless there is somewhere else you want to go" Luke reached out his hand and turned the radio on as Jessie J played through the speakers "NO, Mcdonalds is good. I'm so hungry, I've not eaten all day and I usually can't go an hour without food" Why did I say that? Now he'll think I have some weird disease where I have to eat all the time, I mentally slap myself and continue driving, watching the road. "I like a girl who can eat" I gave a small smile while I turned a corner. Just then One Direction - Kiss You started playing through the speakers and I instinctively reached my hand and turned it up, starting to sing along forgetting Luke was in the car until I heard him laugh from next to me "What?" He shook his head still smiling "You didn't strike me as a One Direction kind of girl" I laughed turning in to the parking lot and cut the engine. I unclipped my belt and started to open the door when I heard Luke humming the song from beside me "And you didn't strike me as a One Direction kind of boy" I smirked getting out of the car, slamming the door behind me, Luke doing the same.

We got into the almost empty fast food place and went up to order, Luke ordered first "Cheese Burger meal please" The guy tapped away on the little machine then I ordered "A big mac meal please" Luke turned to me "What? No salad?" I made a 'pfft' noise and waved my hand a dismissive manner "Do I look like a rabbit to you?" He just laughed and turned back to the boy behind the counter and handed him the money "Hey, you can't pay for me" "Watch me" He narrowed his eyes as he put his hand out to recieve the change. I grabbed the tray and walked over to a booth sliding in and Luke sliding in the other side. I grabbed my chips and and started eating them one by one as Luke started his burger "Tell me about yourself" I looked at him, at little confused "What? Why?" He shrugged taking a bite of his burger "I want to know who I'm sitting here with" I thought for a moment. How bad could it be. "Well, my name is Alexandria Blake, but call me Alex, it's easier" Luke had finished his burger already and began picking at his chips "I moved to LA from Florida to become a tattoo artist, my idea of a dream job. Back in Florida I have a mum, dad and a brother who is studying Law so I guess you can say I was a disappointment to my parents seen as they hardly call anymore and I'm living in my own apartment" Luke watched my face as I talked about my family like it was nothing, I was used to them being distant, not having family around me. Deep down in there somewhere I guess it hurt but I was happy for the first time in my life and if they can't respect that then too bad. Luke was obviously family orientated because his face dropped when I told him my story. "I'm sorry" There we go with the sympathy thing, why did everyone say that? If I didn't want to be by myself or away from my family then I wouldn't be here right now doing what I love. "Why are you sorry?" He shrugged and looked down for the first time tonight "That's what people usually say I guess" We had both finished our food and decided to call it a night. We went out to the car and I started it up, turning down the radio that was previously left turned right up.

Luke's POV

I couldn't take my eyes away from her the whole night, when she told me about her family my heart broke. I couldn't imagine being without my family, they mean everything to me. The first thing that came to my head was to apologise and when she questioned it I didn't know what to say. I couldn't look at her. The car ride was a bit quieter. I hope I haven't ruined it. "Do you want dropped off at your house?" Do I want her to see my house? What if the boys come out? She'll never want to see me again. Ahh what the hell. "Yeah please" "Can I get directions then?" She laughed and my heart did a little leap in my chest, her laugh was the most beautiful sound and I couldn't help but smile aswell. "What way is it then?" I was snapped out of my thoughts and I started giving her directions. We pulled up in front of the house and her eyes widened "You live here?" I laughed "Yeah, but not by myself. Me and my brothers do a youtube channel with our two best friends and it took off amazingly and we just finished a world tour so we moved to LA to continue our careers further" She looked back at the house "It's beautiful. Why didn't you tell me about your channel before?" I shrugged for the thousandth time that night. I have to stop. "I didn't want to come across as cocky, bragging about it and plus, it never came up" She nodded, tightening her pony tail that was still in her hair. "What are you called? You're channel?" She turned to me again, sitting back in her chair "The Janoskians" Her face changed a little, like she was thinking of something. "Wait a minute, I've heard of you guys! Hank's daughter came in to the shop once to get her dad to go to a show, your show and she would not shut up about you guys. I see why" She laughed a little and I did the same. "Do you want to come in?" What. The. Fuck. Why did I do that. I mentally slap myslef "Sure" And again. 

Alex's POV

I walked into the house. Wow. This house was so big, no way he lived here. "What the fuck!" A voice was coming from the room in front of us "Skip! What are doing? What the fuck!" You turned to Luke and he just shook his head walking in front of me, I followed him when a boy ran past us covering his penis. I quickly covered my eyes and turned the other way "Ohmygod" I stringed my words together unwillingly as I heard Luke shouting "What the fuck, Skip! Really?" A hand took my hands away from my eyes and I brought them back down to see Luke "Sorry about that. That was Daniel or Skip, whatever you want to call him" He gave me a sympathetic look, that was not what I was expecting when I walked in here. I followed him further into the living room to see two boys in the kitchen area and another three outside on the balcony. "Guys, this is Alex" I got a mix of hi's and hey's "That's Beau and Jacob" He gestured over to the boys in the kitchen "And that's James, Jai and Ronnie" He pointed to the boys outside. I smiled over to them before they continued their conversation. Well then. "Oi, Luke! C'mere a minute" I heard him sigh before walking away over to the boys in the kitchen.

I took this opportunity to have a look around the house. I walked out the living room and started climbing up the stairs. Opening a door at the top I walked in to a bedroom with clothes and god knows what else all over the floor, I quickly walked back out before the urge to tidy it up kicked in. I walked around some more but there wasn't much to look at in this house. Just mess. I walked in to another room, a surprisingly tidy one with an almost made bed, I walked in a little further and spotted a guitar in the corner I immediately walked over to pick it up. I took it over and sat on the edge of the bed and began playing One Direction's Little Things as it was the only one I could remember off by heart. I started to sing as I got into it and I couldn't help but smile. Remembering being back home, I wanted to become a music teacher before I found my love of art and wanting to make my mark on people. A squeak came from behind me and I swivelled round to see Luke standing at the doorway "I'm sorry, I was just looking I-" I was cut off as Luke walked into the room "It's ok, I thought you had left but your car was still here then I heard my guitar and then your voice" A blush creeped on to my face as I put the guitar back in it's spot "You're good you know and your voice is beautiful" I sat back down on his bed. "Thanks. I wanted to become a music teacher before but I decided upon art instead" He nodded. "Well, I better get going, I don't particularly like driving in the dark" Well that was a lie. I stood up quickly and started to head downstairs, Luke following swiftly. He walked me to my car which was sweet of him I guess. "I guess I'll see you around Brooks" I turned to open my car door and when I turned back around to say goodbye I was met by a pair of lips. I kissed him back, feeling the cold metal from his lips ring against my skin. He pulled away and looked into my eyes, like he was trying to read me, figure me out. I bit my bottom lip and got into my car "I guess I'll definently be seeing you around Brooks" And with that I closed my door and drove away. Looking into the mirror I see Luke standing watching me drive away before jumping up and running back inside. What just happened?
