Pretending to Be Luke Hemmings

"The coast is clear," Ashton whispered, looking both ways of the hallway before leading me out of the room. "Calum and Michael must still be asleep."

I pulled my hoodie over my head just in case as Bryana linked our arms together. "New York City is the best place to shop, especially at Times Square. It's amazing, Lucy."

I giggled as Ashton rolled his eyes and mumbled, "I'm sure it is."

Bryana laughs and smirks at him. "Don't worry, we'll go to places you wanna go as well."

Ashton grins and kisses her on the forehead. I raised my eyebrow at the two of them, "Are you sure I won't be a third wheel?"

Bryana shook her head profusely. "Of course not! We'll tone down the PDA, I swear."

As soon as we stepped outside, I had planned to take my hood off in order to let my long hair be free only to find that it's raining... quite hard.

"Oh crap," Ashton spoke. "I think we've picked the wrong day to go shopping, love."

"It's okay," Bryana sighed, pouting her lips. "We just won't shop as long as we intended to."

"Thank you rain," I hear Ashton whisper and I chuckle at him.

"Do we really have to go here?" Ashton groans as we stopped in front of a Victoria's Secret.

Bryana gave him a knowing look. "You could stay out here and wait for us."

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "But it's raining."

"Exactly."

He huffs and follows us inside, trying not to look too intently on the lingerie and other lacey undergarments that scattered the store.

"Ooh!" Bryana squealed, picking up a real bra and panty set. "This is so cute!"

Ashton glanced at the items in her hand and quickly averted his eyes, a light blush forming on his face. What a gentleman.

I picked up a comfortable looking black lacey lingerie, and looked down at my body wondering if it would look good. Bryana noticed this and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"You're beautiful, Lucy," she smiles at me encouragingly. "All body types are beautiful."

I smiled, appreciating her presence and mentally thanking Ashton for dating the sweetest person in the world. "Thank you."

"Go try it on!" she pushes me towards the waiting room.

After trying the set on, I looked in the mirror and smirked a little. I looked pretty hot. I would date myself.

Well technically I did...

Goddammit Luke, get out of my head.

I let out a sigh and decided to buy it. After leaving the store (Ashton practically ran out as fast as he could, and we had to catch up to him), we decided to go for lunch at a McDonald's.

We gave Ashton our orders and sat at a table in a bit of a private place, not wanting to be recognized by fans. I know it's risky that I'm going out as myself and not as Luke, but I wanted to have the "New York" experience as the person who I really am and not the person I'm pretending to be. If that even makes sense.

"So Lucy," Bryana spoke, twirling a piece of her hair. "Do you have someone special in your life?"

Suddenly I became nervous. "W-Why do you ask that?"

She grins cheekily. "All day you've seem to be in a different world, as if you're thinking about something... or someone."

I blushed lightly. "Well, um, there's this boy."
