○ chapter four ○

Cassie and Luke were in the middle of Times Square, and looked around, it was gorgeous. "Wait Cassie stand still." Luke said, she looked at him and then she saw he was trying to snap a photo of her in front of the huge billboards. "Got it." He laughed and showed it to Cassie who actually quite liked it. 

He opened up Twitter and started typing a caption. 

"@Luke5sos: She thought the view was pretty but I thought she was prettier. @CassieThomas"

"Luke that is one of the most corny things to ever say." Cassie laughed while holding on to his arm. "Well it's more like a meme anyways, I am Luke Hemmings." He said, meaning he could still make amazing jokes. "Yeah I think we all know who you are." She said. 

"Oh my god Luke, that's your face!" Cassie laughed, pointing at one of the billboards. Luke looked up and smiled. "Heck yeah it is." He smirked. "Cocky." She groaned and opened snapchat to make a selfie with the billboard. 

"Come on, let's go shopping." Cassie then said, looking at Luke who nodded. He held out his hand and she grabbed it. It was almost starting to feel normal, to hold each others hands. They crossed the busy street and walked past all the shops. "Forever 21? Please?" Cassie begged Luke who groaned, but was okay with it eventually.

They walked in and Cassie just looked around for a while, she didn't have a lot of space in her suitcase so she would look for the cute dress she found back in LA. Luke had noticed a small group of girls gathering together and looking at them.

Whilst Cassie was scanning clothing, Luke stood behind her and slipped his arms around her waist and laid his chin on her shoulder. "Girls watching." He whispered when she tensed up. Cassie was still not used to getting these types of hugs completely out of nowhere. Cassie kept scanning the clothing with a small smile, Luke gave her cheek a kiss and then asked if she was done, which she was.

They walked around for a little while, until they passed a Topman. "Let's go in, get you something." Cassie smiled and Luke just shook his head, grinning at the girl. "Sure, anything for my girlfriend." He said. 

Luke looked through the clothing, "Luke?" Cassie said from behind him. "Do you like this?" She held up a few black t-shirts, one said Sheriff, one had a small drawing on the right and the last one had a vans logo on it. He smiled at all three and nodded. "Pretty cool." He said.

Cassie was proud, it meant she knew Luke well enough then, which she didn't expect. "I'm going to try one on okay?" Luke said, grabbing the Sheriff t-shirt and walking over to the fitting rooms. Cassie waited outside until Luke was finished. When he walked out wearing the t-shirt she said it looked good on him.

Luke decided to buy all three of the t-shirts, he had enough money for it anyways. "Thank you." Luke said to Cassie who just smiled. "Acting like a real girlfriend, I guess." Cassie laughed. "Can we now go to Sephora though?" She laughed and Luke groaned. "Fine." He laughed and grabbed Cassie's hand loosely and followed her in to the store.

Cassie was walking through the fragrance pathway when she lost Luke. She looked around but couldn't find him anywhere. She put back the bottle she was holding and walked through a few other paths. Finally she spotted his leather jacket and long legs and walked over to him, just to find him talking to some girl. "Luke?" She furrowed her eyebrows and asked him.

"Oh, hey, Cassie." He said widening his eyes a bit. "This uh- This is Skylar, she's an old friend I met a while ago." He smiled pointing at Skylar. Cassie nodded, she was surprised Luke would actually do this in the middle of a store where a lot of girls were, who probably knew him. "Skylar this is Cassie, my girlfriend." He said. 

Skylar bit her lip slightly and was surprised, but she nodded. "Nice to meet you." She said. "Well I'll better get going then, have a lovely time in the city." She said awkwardly, "Bye Luke." She then spoke and walked off.

"What the hell was that?" Cassie hissed at Luke and he just raised his eyebrows. "That was Skylar. Man, that girl is flexible." Luke laughed, remembering that night a few months back. "You're such an ass." Cassie said, slapping his chest softly, not wanting to draw too much attention.

"What? I can't say hi to an old friend? Is somebody getting jealous?" He asked her and she raised her eyebrows. "No I am not, I am just trying to be careful." She then said, grabbed his wrist and walked back to the fragrances. "Cassie, forget what just happened, I'm sorry, we should act like a couple." He said grabbing her waist and turning her around.

"I should not walk off to some girl, I'm sorry I forgot how much you sacrificed for this job." Luke whispered, just loud enough for Cassie to hear. She softly nodded and then stared in to his eyes. Luke kissed her forehead, hoping some girls would have seen that. "Now what fragrance is your favorite?" He asked her and she pointed at one of the few.

"Wait let me smell first," He laughed and she sprayed it right in his face. "Cassie!" He groaned and she laughed at him. "Oh that hurt my eyes." He groaned and then she just smirked at him. "Payback's a bitch, babe." She laughed at him, and then let Luke smell the fragrance. "It smells good, should I buy it for you or do you want to buy it for yourself?" He asked her and she just shook her head. "We're going to Tiffany's later, remember?" She said and he nodded.

After Cassie had bought the fragrance, they walked out the store and then they spotted a Tiffany & Co. Luke pulled Cassie in to the store and they walked over to the ring section. When they were there, there were quite some people that looked at them. "Pick something pretty, baby." Luke said to Cassie and she smiled broadly.

Cassie looked for a little while, until she found two that she liked. The girl behind the counter grabbed the two and Cassie and Luke looked at it. The first one was from the Bow collection, which was white gold and had a bow in the middle which was filled with small diamonds. The second one was from the Infinity line. This one was also white gold, and had an infinity sign through the middle. The infinity sign was filled with diamonds again and Cassie liked both of them a lot.

"How much do they cost?" Cassie asked the woman and Luke looked at her. "Doesn't matter." He smiled. Cassie eyed him for a second, and then back at the rings. "Do you want to try them on?" The woman asked and Cassie nodded.

She tried on the one with the bow first, it looked lovely. She couldn't take her eyes off it. "What do you think?" She asked Luke and he nodded. "It's very pretty, but I think the meaning behind the other one is a little more special." He said, thinking about how infinity stands for forever, it would look better towards the fans.

So Cassie tried the infinity ring on as well, which she really liked a lot. "I prefer this one I think." She smiled and looked at Luke, who nodded. "Me too." He said. "Well, that's the one we'll take then." Luke said and Cassie tried to give the saleswoman the most genuine smile she had. The woman walked to the back to get a box and a bag, made sure Cassie wouldn't bleep when she left the store with it and she made sure Luke payed.

Cassie didn't want to listen when the woman said the price, but sadly enough she did hear how much it cost. Over 2 thousand dollar was spent on a fake relationship.

"Have fun with it, you two make a lovely couple." The woman said, Luke thanked her and they walked outside to be surprised by paparazzi's everywhere.
