CHAPTER 2

Maria's P.O.V.

Today was a great day. The guys are really nice and outgoing. I ended up getting Calum's number because he wanted to see my dog more often. Those two are inseperable now!

As soon as I said my goodbyes to them, I popped in the car with Luke and drove home to the sound of 'Chocolate' by The 1975. It was a short ride, which was good assuming I was so tired. 

When I got home I fed Luke and went straight to the bathroom. After a long and warm bath, I put on my pj's and laid on the couch. Teen Wolf was on, just on point! It happens to be my favourite TV show, just so you know. I was watching the episode when I got a text. It was from an unknown number but I oppened it anyways. 

"Hi :-) Just wanted to apologize again. You know, the boys can be very inconvenient sometimes. Anyways... it was really nice to meet you and Luke! Hope I'll see you again sometime soon. Luke, xx" 

He must have gotten my number from Calum. I smiled at his text. He was still worried about what happened in the park earlier. After saving his number, I texted him back, making sure that there was nothing to be sorry about.

"Olá :-) It's ok Luke, you don't need to apologize! The guys are really funny and it was really nice to meet you too! We probably will see eachother very often, Calum and Luke are best friends now..." Yes, I greeted him in portuguese because a) it's my native language, b) I wanted to make conversation and c) I was curious to see if he knew it was portuguese.

10 seconds after I sent the text, my phone rang. Luke was asking me to facetime with him. I wasn't sure if I should answer the call but then I though to myself "Maria, life's too short! There's a hot guy asking you to videochat with him, just answer for God's sake!"

"Fuck it, I'll do it" I said outloud. I was just about to pick the call when I remebered that I was wearing pijamas. I tossed the soft blanked that was covering my body to the side and ran upstairs to my room, to get something more pleasing to wear. After almost falling in the stairs, I went to my closet and grabbed my Red Hot Chili Peppers sweater. I fixed my hair and finaly answered the call.

"I'm sorry for taking so long, I was just changing" I said looking to the floor while I went downstairs again. I was making sure I didn't fall. Jesus, just the thought of falling in front of him was making me nervous.

Once in the living room, I lifted my eyes and Luke had a surprised look on his face.

"Didn't know you could speak portuguese!" He said with a big smile on his face, his dimples making an appearance on his cheeks. So he did know it was portuguese!!!

"Actually, I'm portuguese. Born and raised in Portugal!" I said looking directly into the screen, not being able to forget about those God damn dimples.

"That's so cool! What made you move to the USA then?"

"I moved with my sister a year ago. She wanted to live the american dream so I decided to join."

"Is that so? And may I ask what's that dream?"

"She's a professional dancer. Currently, she's touring with the well known Queen B!" I said showing him the picture I took in the first show she was in.

"She's touring with Beyoncé?" He asked in a louder tone than he expected due to his excitment.

"I know, pretty unbelievable!" I said laughing.

"What about you? What are your dreams?" He asked truly interested.

"I would like to tour the world too, but as a musician, not as a dancer." I said blushing. "My dream is to have a band like yours and spread my musical creations all around the world." We met yesterday and we're already talking about our dreams and what we want to do for the rest of our lives. I was really liking this conversation.
