The doorbell rings and I jump up from sitting on the couch and watching T.V.
I run towards the door, and I hear my dad comment,
"I bet you've never run that fast in soccer."
I open the door and am not shocked to see Luke Hemming's standing there.
He is wearing a pair of dark jeans with a white OBEY shirt and white Converse. The next thing I notice is that he doesn't have his piercing on.
"Hello Hemming's," I greet.
"Hemming's? Seriously?" He laughs as I gesture him to come in.
"Completely serious," I answer as I pull him into a short kiss.
"Alright than Reid," he says.
I take his hand and walk to the living room.
"Mom, Dad, this is Luke. Luke these are my parents," I say.
Luke greets them and they gesture for him to sit down.
We get carried into conversations and before we know it, it's already dinner time.
"This is amazing Mrs.Reid," Luke comments on my moms Lasagna.
"Well thank you," my mom says.
"Araina, you have amazing taste in boys," My mom says as we are finishing eating. I notice Luke blush.
"Yeah well I got the genes from you. My dad is extremely handsome," I say.
"That's my girl," my dad laughs.
When we finish, we go back into the living room and my dad and Luke talk a bit more.
"So youre in a band?" My dad asks.
"Yes," Luke replies.
"How often do you get mobbed by paparazzi?" My dad jokes.
"Not very often," Luke lies.
My parents laugh and the classical iPhone ringtone comes on.
Luke takes his phone out of his pocket.
I look at the caller i.d. I mean how could I not?
'John'
"Sorry, its urgent," Luke says as he answers the phone.
I can hear the other side as I am sitting right next to him.
"Lucas Robert Hemming's, get over here right now!" John shouts over the phone.
"What? Why?" Luke questions.
"Have you even checked your Twitter, Instagram, I donno anything?" John shouts.
"Uh no," Luke calmly answers.
"Come now!" John shouts yet for the third time.
Luke stands up to go and talk alone but I follow him towards the kitchen.
"Araina, I need to talk to him privately," he whispers bringing the phone down.
I cross my arms and stare at him. Stare and Glare.
"Fine," he gives up.
"Look John, I'm over at my girlfriends. I'll come tomorrow," he says.
"Oh and he speaks. I said now!" John shouts.
"Okay, I'll be there in an hour," Luke gives up again.
"Bring her too, and don't you dare say no. Be careful of the paparazzi," John says.
Luke hangs up and covers his face with his hands.
"Luke? What's wrong? Don't say 'nothing' cause I'm not taking it as an answer," I say pulling his hands down from his face with my own.
"Today, a t.v show showed a picture of us from last night. Social media exploded and now my management is angry. And its not just that, I don't want you in this. Media, cameras, people stalking you and bothering you. I just don't want it for you Araina," he explains.
I put his hands on my cheek and press on them.
"You need to tell me these stuff when they happen. You have to trust me," I say.
"I trust you, I really do. I just don't want you to be stressed with shit like this," he answers.
"Your problems are my problems, wether you like it or not. Now, we are going to go there and see what they say. Okay?" I assure him.
"Okay, but will your parents let you? I...I don't want you getting in trouble or anything," he says.
I nod and run my hands through his hair.
"They will, don't worry," I say.
"Araina? Is everything alright?" My dad calls.
"Yeah, we're coming," I say back.
We walk to the living room again.
"Mom, Dad, I have to go somewhere with Luke. Is that okay?" I ask.
"Where?" My dad questions.
"His managment needs him, quick. I wanna go with him," I reply.
"This late at night?" My mom asks.
"Mom! Alec is out too!" I plead.
"Fine, but be back soon," my mom allows.
"Thank you," Luke thanks.
"And Luke, I trust you with my daughter. I don't mean just now. Till whenever you are together, I trust you with her. Understood?" My dad warns.
He said the same thing to Nick when I introduced him. He was the first guy I had ever introduced to my parents.
"Yes Mr.Reid, I completely understand," Luke replies.
"Alright than, everything is settled," my dad says.
We say bye to my parents and head out the door and into Luke's car.
"So, your full name is Lucas Robert, eh?" I ask.
