You Chose Mine

Chapter 3

I walked through the store looking at the shirts I could bring the rest of the boys and placed them over my arm. I spotted one of my favourite shirts and took it to wear tonight; 'I wonder if I should bring Kennedy?' I thought 'maybe she can flirt with someone else, like Calum or one of the One Direction boys, she likes Harry maybe Luke can introduce them' When suddenly someone's fingers jabbed my sides. I squealed before turning to see Derek.

"Jerk!" I exclaimed as I punched his shoulder.

"Why are you so on edge?" I groaned before I walked over to the counter.

"Luke Hemmings from 5 Seconds of Summer came in today" I told him.

"Wait, you mean Lucas Hemmings? The one you never shut up about?" I hit him in the head with a hanger before I threw it into the box behind the counter.

"Shut up!"

"What was he doing here?" he asked.

"I ran into him at Woolworths last night. I took a photo of his shirt, told him about the store, I gave him my number and bam! He turned up" he gave me a cheeky smile.

"Little miss goody two shoes Shannon gave one Mister Luke Hemmings her number, my, my" I would of hit him again but I ran out of hangers. "Was Kennedy here when he was?" I nodded, "And did she...?" I nodded once again.

"No... She wouldn't"

"Oh, but yes she would"

I watched as he slumped down into the counter. He really cares deeply for Kennedy, he treats her like a queen. "Everything will be alright, she's just playing the field" I reassured him.

"While moving in on your turf?"

"Luke isn't my property! I just met him for god sakes."

"But I can see the look in your eyes... You fell and you fell hard'

This time I slumped into the counter. I couldn't have felt what Derek thinks I have, I just met the guy! Then again, I have known about the band for a year and from the get go I found Luke to be unbearable attractive. His voice first, then his laugh, then his looks, then somewhere within all the keeks and instagram photos his personality got to me.

Damn it!

"Have you seen your aunty yet?" he asked. I snapped out of reminiscing about my feelings for Luke as soon as I heard the word 'aunty'.

"Not yet, I'm gonna go see her before I go and drop off the rest of these shirts" I said.

"To Lukey's house" Derek spoke in a girlish voice, I shook my head before placing them into a bag.

"Get to work, you idiot!"

"She'll be fine, I promise" Kennedy spoke from beside me. I shook my head, I know she's not alright but I know I still have hope. We walked up to the gates before a large security man in a fluoro orange jacket stopped us. We told them Luke was expecting us before searching for my name. Once found we we're escorted to their dressing rooms, which once I got into I found surprisingly neat for this band.

"Hey, you made it!" Luke greeted. His arms flew around me causing me to seek comfort in his hold.

"Was there any doubt I would?" I pulled back when I noticed he was wearing one of my shirts. "Cool! It looks great" I complimented. I never really got to see my shirts on anyone else in public, only on me or others that worked at the store. 

"Yeah, its so soft" he said before hugging Kennedy. I watched as she let it linger longer than I would of hoped for but I suppose Luke was used to it, hugging fans and all.

"Hi, I'm Calum" He smiled as I shook his hand.

"I'm Shannon" I smiled back as Ashton and Michael introduced themselves to Kennedy and I.

"Um, do you want to see the shirts I brought you?" they all nodded as I handed them out, not all of them we're creations of mine but it would most definitely suit them.

"These are sick!" Michael said as he held one up, I smiled knowing he would like my bald eagle tank top. It was an easy creation that sells well in the store, especially to the punk rock styled people.

"I really hope you like them" I smiled.

"And is the shirt you're wearing one of yours?" Ashton asked I nodded proudly. It's a white muscle tee with a black outlining of a glass bottle and a dim yellow lightning bolt in the middle of it.

"Yeah, it's one of my favourites from one of my favourite songs"

"What is it?" Luke asked smiling at me.

"Lightning in a bottle by the Summer Set" I smiled back.

"I remember modelling that shirt" Kennedy added.

'Here we go' I thought, the boys nodded before she began to tell a couple tales that seemed to interest them. I found myself setting out their shirts into piles, just a habit I picked up from the store. It's somewhat relaxing and makes me forget somehow because all I can think is 'fold this way, fold that way, fold in half, next'

"Do you model any of your own clothes?" Luke asked, my thoughts snapped back to the rest of them as they waited patiently for my answer.

I shook my head shyly, "No, I'm the girl designing the clothes and the one who snaps the pictures"

I turned back to folding when I heard Kennedy's flirty giggle once more. I turned to see her hand running down Luke's arm once again, and once again I felt my blood boil.

"Hey!" I heard a voice whisper; I turned my head to see Ashton leaning on the table.

"Hey" I replied.

"Kennedy seems to like my friend" he spoke with a smile.

"Yeah, well Kennedy likes anything that moves with a dick between their legs" I mumbled.

"What?" Ashton chuckled.

I looked up embarrassed of what I had just said; I just shook my head before turning my back to the table leaning against it like he was. I could tell Kennedy was starting to like Luke but I couldn't tell if the feelings were mutual.

"Are you a fan?" Ashton asked, I nodded before lifting up one of my 5SOS creations with their lyrics on it.

"I also make iPhone cases" I chuckled, he laughed along with me before it went back to comfortable silence.

"Well, if it makes a difference Luke has spoken highly of your shirts... and you" as soon as he added 'and you' my heart rate flew.

"Well, I appreciate it"

"And the boys and I discussed it... We'd love to model your new line" I smiled before my arms wrapped around his neck. I found myself repeating the words 'thank you' before moving on to the rest of the boys bringing them into my own celebration.

"You guys can drop by the store anytime you have a free day or a free couple hours. We can talk about it then" They all smiled to me before giving me a separate hug each. "I can't tell you how much I really appreciate this. This line will probably be my biggest one yet" they began to tell me how I shouldn't rely on them so much, and that they'll probably much around on set and break something but I simple told them 'you break it, you bought it'. Something my aunty told me.

That reminds me, I have to tell her about this. She'll be thrilled. Well, I imagined she would be.
