Lukes POV:
* 3 weeks later *
My alarm wakes me up and I quickly take a shower to get dressed.My parents aren't up yet. I eat some breakfast and quickly drive towards the studio. I text Araina our house address behind a red light.When I get there, only Ashton and our recorder have arrived.
"Hey!" I say greeting them.
"Luke, hurry. We have to finish recording the song today," Ashton says.
I nod my head and go get my guitar. I practice a little and warm up my voice with Ashton. Calum and Michael arrive.It's almost five by the time we finish recording the whole song.
"Great job guys, have a good day!" Our manager announces waving good-bye. We go out of the studio.
"Luke you coming or not?" Ashton asks.
"Where?" I question.
"Oh we forgot to tell you. There's a celeb party down in Melbourne. Let's go," Michael explains.
"I can't," I say heading towards my car.
"What? Why?" Calum protests.
"Well Calum, what do you think? He has a date you moron," Ashton says.
"Oh yeah! Well you can bring her too!" Calum replies.
"I'm introducing her to my parents," I say opening the car door.
"Woah, this is getting serious," Ashton says.
"I have to go, have fun," I say.
"Alright than, bye!" Michael says.
They all wave and I get back in my car.
The smell of my mom's special pasta hits me as soon as I get home and put my car keys on the counter.
"Hey mom," I say.
"Luke, hurry go change. Your dad will be here soon," she says.
I go up and change into a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt that is white at the top and gets darker and darker as you go down till it reaches black. I put on my gray sneakers and go down.
My dad has arrived.
"Hey dad," I say.
"Luke," he says.
I sit by the counter and help my mom make salad. As soon as I hear the doorbell ring I jump. I run towards the door.Just before I am about to open it, I run my hand once through my hair and make sure I look good in front of the mirror. I still feel my heart pounding out of my chest when I see her.
"Araina," I say when I open the door.
She looks stunning in a navy blue long sleeve blouse with white jeans and navy blue flats.Her hair is tied in a ponytail and her make-up is light as usual. One of the reasons I fell in love with her.
"Luke," she says smiling.
I gesture her in and she gives me
a short warm hug.,I take her hand and walk her towards the living room.
"Mom, Dad this is Araina. Araina these are my parents," I say.
"Araina sir. Pleasure to meet you," she says shaking hands with my dad.
"Mr.Hemmings. Welcome," my dad answers.She walks over to my mom.
"Delighted to meet you," she says.
"And I too," my mom answers returning her handshake.
"Please sit down Araina," my dad says. She smiles and sits on the couch. I plop myself next to her.
"So tell us about yourself," My mom tells her.
"Well, I'm Araina Reid. Senior. I play soccer professionally ..." she says.
"Any siblings?" My dad asks.
"Yes, one brother," she replies.
"So, what do you intend to do after
high school?" My mom asks.
"Actually, I applied for Stanford. For medical school, and soccer will help me for acceptance but there haven't been any replies lately."
"Well that's fantastic," my dad says.
She smiles and bites her lower lip.
I noticed that she always does that when she is nervous.
