When You're Ready (A Luke Hemmings Imagine)

When You're Ready; Chapter Two

        "For the release of our album, we had a party. We invited guests, like celebrities, friends, and family. Our fans knew we were having one and after seeing tweets about them wanting to come, we changed the location and put it at Venice beach, like we actually rented it out for the weekend, crazy right?" I had started the story and my excitement telling it was unusual. Maybe this was helping.

        "I remember hearing about that party. It was the biggest party of the year. How much did it cost to rent Venice?" the interviewer asked me, quite interested.

        "I don't even remember, but I am sure it was too much. Anyways, we had the party, and it was a great time. We danced and got very drunk. Towards the end of the night, a girl had caught my eye. She had long blonde hair, grey-blue eyes, like the color of the ocean that was right next to us, and she had this dress. It was black and it looked like it was made for her. She looked so beautiful in it, but I was too nervous to talk to her.'

        "You, Luke Hemmings, were too nervous to talk to her?"

        "He was so pathetic! She would look at him and then they would both look away from each other, so all he had to do was talk to her," Ashton stated.

        "Yeah, she could've started the conversation, too," I said.

        "She did, Luke."

        "Yeah, after you told her to!" I said to him, laughing. 

        "Well, you weren't going to do it!"

        "Okay, okay, back to the story. She came up to me after I saw Ashton talking to her. My first thought when I saw her talking to Ashton was 'Great he got the girl I was looking at', but then she came up to me and started talking. I didn't even know her, and she talked to me like an old friend."

"Hey," she said. For a moment, I stared at her. I couldn't believe this. 

"H-hey," I said back, but I had to clear my voice in the middle of it, which happened when I was nervous, "what's your name?" I questioned.

"You'll soon know", she said, whilst smiling at me. Her smile was so beautiful. Her big, straight, white teeth, and the pink lip gloss made her mouth look so kissable, and if I had enough confidence, I might kiss her.

"My name is L-" I started to say before she cut me off.

"I know who you are, silly!" she joked. 

I smiled at her, and she continued to smile back. She broke the silence by asking me questions about my life, and the things I told her she may have already knew, but she went along and interjected some thoughts of her own, I was going to ask her questions about herself after like an hour of talking about me, but was interrupted by her hand taking ahold of mine and her voice shouting over the loud song that just began to play. The song happened to be "Don't Stop", which was my band's song. 

"I love this song!" she said, elongating the word 'love' so her point was made, "Come dance with me!' As if I had a choice though, she just grabbed me from the chair I was sitting in, which was a breeze for her to do, and that surprised me because I wasn't a light person and she didn't look that strong. She had broad shoulders and she was on the thicker side, but I don't know how much she is able bench press, even if she did that. 

She took my other hand as we got closer to the Dj, and we danced as if we knew the choreography for the music video, even though there wasn't any, but if I could redo the video, I would put this dance in here and make sure she was in it. A circle formed around us as I dipped her in a fast motion, her back arching to an unnatural arch, but she came right back up, and the smile on her face turned into a laugh, and then I laughed too. I spun her around with my hand above our heads, and then the song was over. People started to clap for us and I didn't even realize everyone was watching until the very end, like I saw people clear out to make room for us, but this is weird. Some 'whoops' and some 'kiss, kiss' chants erupted from the crowd, and the next thing I knew, my lips were smashed into hers. She was a lot shorter than me, so she had to pull me down by the collar of my shirt and stand on her tip toes. When I relaxed into the kiss, she put her hands on my cheeks and I put mine on her hips. The crowd went wild with cheers, and when we pulled away from each other, we were smiling like crazy.
