"Can you take the picture already who cares about the lighting?"

"The lightning is everything in a picture so shut up"

"You guys are going to wake them if you both don't shut up" I open my eyes hearing three of the boys. Ashton was holding the camera and Michael was standing behind him. While Calum was just glaring at the two of them.

"What are you guys doing?" I ask trying to sit up but I can't. I look down seeing Luke's arms still around me. I thought I was dreaming about that happening. I get his hands and put them gently to his sides getting up with my face pretty much the color of the tomato.

"We were just- Run" Michael says pushing Ashton to the ground and runs out the door. As Ashton gets up Calum pushes him to the ground and runs too.

"Are you serious guys?" Ashton yells finally getting up and running out slamming the door behind him.

"I don't know whether to be confused or start laughing" I mumble staring at the door.

"What?" I turn around seeing Luke sitting up from the bed.

"Well would you look at the time" I say looking down at my arm pretending it's a watch. "Bye" I mumble awkwardly opening the door and running out. I don't really want to explain to him what happened last time. And I felt slightly nervous when he looked at me so I made a run for it.

"Hey Grace" Ashton says smiling nervously as I sit by him on the couch. "Fine you caught me I was taking pictures" Ashton says. I scrunch my face up confused.

"I didn't even say anything"

"Oh"

"Yeah" I mumble grabbing my backpack pulling out my toothbrush. "Where is the bathroom?"

"Right in front of Luke's room" Ashton says stuffing an Oreo in his mouth. Well it's safe to say he is an addict. I walk up stairs and shut the bathroom door. As I start brushing my teeth the door opens. I turn around seeing that Luke is standing in the doorway shirtless. Yup you heard me right shirtless. My eyes widen and I quickly turn around a rise out my mouth.

"Do you not know how to lock a door?" Luke asks rolling his eyes. Ah I see we're back to asshole Luke.

"Um I Bye" I mumble feeling a wave of nervous in my stomach. Alright what's happening I can't even form a proper sentence. I walk past him looking down.

"What was that?" I hear Michael say. I look up seeing him clutching his sides. "Um I Bye" He says in a high pitch voice.

"Oh shut up" I look at his clothes raising an eyebrow. Why is he wearing the walmart Uniform again. When he doesn't even work there.

"I thought you didn't work there"

"I don't"

"Then why are you wearing the uniform? " I ask as he straightens out his blue t-shirt.

"Because I like it there?"

"Can I come?" I ask it's better than embarrassing myself in front of Luke all day. Plus I can buy some hot cheetos.

"No you can't" I turn around seeing Luke standing there still shirtless. God can he please put on a shirt? It's getting distracting.

"Um I um oh forget it " I shake my head walking past Michael who just starts laughing again. Come on Grace what the heck is happening? I hit myself on the head walking down stairs. I glance at the couch and see Ashton still sitting there. I sit beside him and start laughing. He fell asleep with an Oreo in his mouth. I take the Oreo out and place it all the table still cracking up.

"Did you take my Oreo?" Ashton asks rubbing his eyes.

"I saved you from a potential choking hazard so yeah"

"Alright guys I'm going to Walmart" Michael says walking to the door.

"You don't work there" Ashton says confused.

"Um I Bye" Michael says winking at me slamming the door shut. I put my head in my hands groaning.

"What was that?" Ashton says putting another Oreo in his mouth.

"I don't know" I lie grabbing an Oreo from his bag. "I just don't know"

"So what happened between you a Luke?" Ashton asks. I choke on my Oreo. I cough trying to clear my throat but it isn't really working. Suddenly a glass of water appears in front of me. I grab it chugging it down.

"I didn't know it was possible for someone to turn that red " Oh no. I look up seeing Luke. Who is still freaking shirtless. I look into his blue eyes feeling my heart jump. That's when it hit me. Am I starting to like Luke Hemmings? Well wouldn't that just freaking great? I sure know how to pick em.
