A/N I'm actually debating doing a double update cause this chapter is short :')

Luke's POV

I scurried around the house hastily, trying to locate my black pair of converse shoes as the clock struck 5.30 in the evening.

Calum would be arriving anytime soon and I definitely didn't want to make a bad impression on our first date.

To my relief, I eventually spotted the old pair of black and white canvas shoes lying around in a corner just as the doorbell rang.

I rushed to slip them on as the muffled sound of my mother and date conversing echoed down the hallway. I tried to strain my ears, curious as to what they could possibly be chatting about, but I only have myself to blame for my poor hearing.

Scrambling to my feet, I sprinted down the stairs as quickly as I could, not being able to contain the excitement pumping through my veins. I nearly tripped over my feet a few times before I finally reached my destination, earning amused looks from the pair.

However, despite my little frenzy, I didn't fail to notice my mother handing the kiwi a small, shiny packet which he later tucked into his back pocket swiftly. He coughed awkwardly, while my mother wore a smug look on her face, leaving my thoughts to wander.

Was that-

"Sweetheart, you ready?" Calum asked, cutting off my thought process as he stretched out his tan hand.

Only then did I take note of the the clothes he adorned - a black shirt with the words 'drop dead sizzle city' imprinted on it, accompanied with pair of black skinny jeans and vans. I guess the dress code for today was all black huh?

"I know I'm attractive and all angel, but my arm is getting really sore right now and we have a whole night of activities waiting for us, so I suggest we make a move soon," He chuckled lightly, making gesturing movements with his hand.

A blush coated my cheeks as I took hold of his outstretched hand, loving the warmth that radiated off of his body, making me feel at home instantly.

He grinned, leaning down to peck my cheek lightly.

"By the way, you look stunning babe," The tan boy whispered in my ear, pulling away to gaze into my eyes.

"Thank you," I replied, causing him to grin even wider (if that was possible) before pulling away entirely.

"It was great chatting with you Liz, thanks for entrusting Luke with me."

"My pleasure dear, just promise that you'll keep him out of harm's way okay?"

"Of course. It's my job," He stated, smiling down at me as he gave my small hand a light squeeze.

"We'll be on our way now then, bye mum!"

I tugged Calum along with me to his beat up truck, just wanting to get this night started already.

"Remember to use protection!" My mother hollered after us, making me let out a groan in frustration while the brunette let out a laugh.

"So, where to?" I asked curiously once we were both safely buckled up.

"Like I always say princess, ignorance is bliss," he said, shooting me a smirk along with a playful wink.

I huffed in disappointment, hating the suspense he was giving me, leaning back in the leather seat with my arms crossed over my chest as a soft chuckle rolled off his tongue.

The engine roared to life and we drove down the busy streets of Sydney with the soft hum of the radio playing in the background.
