My set is finished and I wait in the dressing room as the boys get all ready for the show.
"I can't believe your parents were out in the crowd." Liv laughs.
"I bet Dad is going to need hearing aids after the boys' set."
"Yeah, Grey said he was bringing noise cancelling ear phones for him."
"Smart kid." I remark.
Brandon (Roy English) walks in and plops down next to me on the couch. "You had an awesome set tonight. The crowd loved you!"
"Thanks Brandon," I give him a grateful smile. I am never sure whether I should call him Brandon or Roy. It get's confusing.
"You know, you could still go out with me once." He grins.
"No," I laugh, "I am as good as taken, my friend."
"Oh really?" He raises an eyebrow. "By whom?"
"Me." Luke leans on the doorframe, his arms folded.
Brandon's eyes got really big. "Oh shoot."
"Me too, bud." Liv says, nodding her head.
"Mason?" Luke asks, "Would you come with me for a second?"
"Yeah, sure." I leap off the couch trying to act like nothing extremely movie-like just happened. My heart beat is going about a thousand times per minute.
Once I reach him, he grabs my hand and pulls me down the hallway into the nearest open door, which was a closet full of chairs. He turns and faces me and places his hands on my cheeks and kisses me. Hard.
I take a few steps back until my back is against the wall. Luke keeps his mouth on mine and kisses me with more passion than ever. My knees go weak as his tongue trails my bottom lip. I pull away for a second just to calm my mind.
"Luke," I breath out, my eyes shut.
"Be my girlfriend." My eyes shoot open.
"W-What?"
"You heard me," he says with confidence, "Be my girlfriend."
My mouth is dry. His eyes search mine. "Why not?" I grin. "I've always liked you anyway kid."
"Good," he whispers, nuzzling his head into my neck, "I've always liked you, too."
"LUKE HEMMINGS! GET TO THE STAGE!" someone calls in the hallway.
"Shit, I want to stay here with you." he whines.
"I'll be here after the show," I wink and his eyes light up. "You can meet my parents."
"Oh right." he suddenly looks worried. "Do you think they'll like me?"
I almost swoon over his look of concern. "You met Grey, well, I have another older brother and a dad. They'll love you, but they might try to scare you."
"Maybe I am not your boyfriend until after they leave."
I give him the bird and try to walk out of the room but he stops me and swings me around, gently kissing my lips.
"I'll get used to that right away." he mumbles.
"LUKE HEMMINGS!"
He rolls eyes, and smiles at me. "You gonna watch?"
"Oh yeah, baby."
