As we were driving, Ashton reached over me to turn on the radio and brushed my neck as he pulled his hand back. I glanced over to him to find him looking out the window, blushing. Why is he blushing? I thought. I was unfamiliar to the song that had come onto the radio. Luke and Ashton, however, were not. Luke started to sing quietly while Ashton tapped his foot to the beat. When the chorus of the song came, Luke sang louder. I sat there in awe as I listened to this boys voice. It wasn't to high or low, rough, or soft. It was perfect. It was Mesmerizing. I got up the confidence to look at the boy that this voice came from and was taken aback by the level of beauty he was displaying. His lips moved perfectly and smoothly with every word and sound. His eyes would shut on the higher notes then open again to show his beautiful eyes once more. He looked so natural and comfortable while singing.
I tore my eyes from Luke and dared to look at Ashton, who was now using his fingers as drumsticks. He hit every beat as if there were an invisible drum set sitting in front of him. It looked like he was the one actually drumming in the song. As his long, slim fingers beat the air, I could see his perfectly toned biceps. I traced the muscle up to his neck with my eyes. I could see a small vein sticking out of the side. Not in an unattractive way, like you see on an old person who's yelling at you, but like in an extremely hot guy lifting weights kind of way. I followed the vein up his neck and to his face. His eyes were shut as he was listening to the music and feeling the beats. At that moment, he bit his lip. Ashton's perfect, white teeth grabbed at his bottom lip so sensually that I let out a small sound. I'm not sure what the sound word, but none the less, it was heard by both Ashton and Luke.
Before he could see me looking at him, I turned my focus from Ashton to my phone that was resting in between my legs. Luke turned down the radio and asked "What was that?" with a hint of laughter. "Oh, I bit my cheeck on accident" I lied, feeling my cheeks start to burn. I let down my hair in order to prevent the boys from seeing me blush. My long, slightly waved, auburn hair fell over my shoulders and covered my face, which apperantly surprised the two. "How much hair could one girl possibly have?" Ashton took my hair and held it up for the driving Luke to see. "Holy crap Ryan" Luke said.
My hair wasn't really that long. When straight, it reached just above my belly button. "Have you never seen long hair before?" I asked them, taking my hair back from Ashton. "Not this long" laghed Ashton as he watched me start putting it back up into the bun again. "Wait, stop" said Luke, "leave it down" "Why" I asked. "It looks good down" He said, his cheeks turning slightly pink. "Yeah" Ashton agreed, "even though you could use it as a blanket" He giggled. I let go of my hair and let it fall again. We were stopped at the light that we had to turn at to get onto our street. Luke turned to look at me. I saw him out of the corner of my eye and turned to face him. "What?" I asked. "Nothing Luke smirked as he changed his focus back to the, now green, light.
When we got to my house, Ashton got out of the truck to let me out. "Thanks" I said to Luke as I scooted across the seat. I, of course being the clumsy and uncooridinated person I am, fell out. Ashton caught me for the second time that day. "You really need to stop falling" Ashton laughed as he staightened me out. "Yeah" I said, ashamed of my clumsiness. "You alright?" asked Luke, who was still sitting in the car. "Yeah Ashton caught me again" I answered. "It was great meeting you" said Ashton, "I hope we get to hang out more soon" He had a hopeful look in his eyes as he pulled me into an unexpected hug. "Yeah" I said into his chest "Me too." He let go of me after a moment and I called to Luke "See you tomorrow at school!" "Bye Ryan!" He called back "I had fun!" "Me too" I said, surprsing myself. But I really did have fun.
I walked into my front door and shouted "Dad, I'm home!" as I dropped my bag at the bottom of the front staircase. "Where have you been?" I heard him shout from somewhere in the house. I looked at my phone and realized it was 4. I spent two hours with the boys. "Where are you?" I shouted back. "your room" he answered. I walked up the newly installed wood stairs and to my room, which was quite large.
My house wasn't one of those overly expensive, huge ones, but it was big considering that there were only two two people living there. There were three floors. The basement, with a tv, couch and guest room, the main floor, with the kitchen, office and family room, and the upstris, with my dads room, my room, an extra room and my tiny art room.
"What are you doing in here?" I asked as I stepped into my room. "I'm putting your drawers together. Give me a hand" He said. I walked over and held the frame up for him. "Where were you" He repeated the question. "I was with a kid from school" I said. "A friend?" My dad said hopefully. He always wanted me to connect with people wherever we went, even though I was against the thought. "I don't know," I sighed, "He kinda just took me after school for coffee" "Oooooh its a he?" he said raising his eyebrows at me, "That's a first." "Don't get your hopes up dad" I said "I don't even know if he's a good guy."
Actually, Luke was a good guy. He paid for my coffee and he was extremely nice. Ashton too. That night I was laying in my bed looking out the window when I noticed one light on in Luke's house. I looked at the alarm clock beside my bed. It read 2:00 AM. I could see two figures sitting on a bed. Must be Luke and Ashton I thought. I turned back up and looked at my ceiling. I could not get these two Australian boys out of my head. Why did Luke pick me? There were gorgeous girls all around him at school, but he decided to approach me. And why did they both stare at me when they thought I wasn't looking? I searched my brain for any possible answers to my questions. I coouldn't figure it out. But I kind of liked the attention. It felt even better that it was coming from two hot guys, one being older. I sat there for about an hour thinking about all of this while constantly looking over to the one light that was on in Luke's house for some reason. I finally turned off my light at 3:30 AM.
I went to bed that night with the image of Luke singing and Ashton drumming in my mind. They were so nice. I was so glad that I met Luke. I barely knew him and I was already freaking out about him. I've never, in my life, had feelings for anyone, or really liked anyone, girls or boys, for that matter. I was scared but excited at the same time. I didn't know if these were feelings or not, but I knew I had to play it cool in front of Luke and Ashton. The next morning I woke up with the same image in my mind. For the first time in my life, I was looking forward to seeing someone at school.
