Promise (5sos Fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-Three

I wake up, after a while of sleeping on the plane.

My head is resting on Luke's shoulder, and he casually stares out the window.

"Are we there yet?" I ask lazily.

"Not yet. Go back to sleep." He mailed at me softly.

I do.

When I finally wake up one last time, Luke's head is on top of my own, hinting that he fell asleep too.

"Wake up lovebirds. We are here." Calum says, passing by, and getting off the plane.

We stand up, and I look at Lucy.

"I was right. It was a boring trip, with you two swooning over each other the whole way." She says.

"We were sleeping." I reply.

"Exactly."

---

We meet up in the lobby, Liz taking us to a two cabs waiting for us.

"We are going to the hotel we will be staying at." She says, getting in the second cab.

We all pile in, Luke first, them me, then Calum and Ashton.

Michael goes along with Liz and Lucy in the second cab.

Ashton pulls out his phone and tells us he's going to make a keek.

"Hello USA! We are in you! We are currently in-Calum, where are we?" Ashton asks.

"We are in Calum?" Luke asks playfully.

Ashton realized what he just said. "Oh yes, we are in Calum. Calum, you like that?"

Calum grins. "I love it. I'm enjoying it. Yes."

"No, seriously, we are in New York, I think. We are going to be playing Times Square! That's in New York, right guys?" Ashton asks.

"Yeah, I think so." Luke answers.

"Oh my god, go back to school." I cut in.

"Go back to Australia!" Ashton jokes.

"Ashton is done now." I say, taking his phone and turning it off.

He sticks his tongue out at me, which I return to him.

"Hey Audrey?" Luke asks.

"Yeah?" I look at him.

"Here. I have a question to ask you." He digs in his bag and pulls out the gray beanie that I wear for shows.

"Yes?" I ask, suspicious.

He puts one knee down on the or an looks up at me, holding the beanie out.
It looks weird, considering we are in a cab.

My breath hitches.

"Will you do me the honors of becoming my girlfriend?" He asks, smiling.

Calum and Ashton both laugh.
I elbow them in the sides.

"Yes." I say, taking the beanie and placing it on my head.

He smiles bigger, and Calum and Ashton both clap. Calum pretends to wipe a tear from his eye.

"Did he just propose to you, using a beanie?" Ashton asks.

"I think he did." I laugh.

Luke hugs me, squeezing me tight.

"Luke." I choke. "Luke, you better let go or else you're gonna kill your new girlfriend." I joke.

He let's go immediately. "Sorry." He blushes, then looks out the window.

Oh. The trouble I get myself into.

---

We arrive at the hotel, only tone swarmed in by fangirls.

Security from the hotel has to come an pry all the girls off of the boys.

"Listen, we are tired from our trip. We are sorry that we cannot take pictures or sign anything. We feel really bad, but you guys can always see us at Times Square!" I shout to them.

The girls all look disappointed, but they leave eventually.

We head up to our rooms, I will be sharing on with Lucy.

"Did you know that Calum's mom is coming to see him preform tomorrow night?" Lucy asks me, once we are in the room.

"No, how did you find out?" I ask.

"Liz. She got a call from his mom." She answers.

"Don't tell them." She tells me.

"I won't. Is Ashton's mom coming too?" I ask, wondering if I get to see my aunt.

"I don't know yet." She answers. "So, about you and Luke..." She grins.

"How did you know?" I ask, mortified.

"Calum told me. Never trust the Asian." She jokes.

"He's not Asian!" I scream at her.

"So, you are Luke Hemmings's girlfriend. How does his mom feel about that?" She asks.

"I don't know. She wasn't in the car. Maybe she won't find out." I say.

"Maybe. Or maybe, you should tell your best friend all the details so she doesn't go spill the beans to Liz." She hints.

"Don't you dare." I threaten.

"Try me." She smirks.

"Fine. We were in the cab, and he pulled out his beanie, got down on one knee, well, the best he could, and proposed to me, asking if I would be his girlfriend. When I said yes, he put the beanie on my head. That's it." I tell her.

"Cute." She says.

"Shut up. I don't see you getting asked to be anybody's girlfriend." I say, teasing her.

She is silent, then she blushes. "Actually..."

---

"You are Calum's secret girlfriend?!?" I scream at her in shock.

She nods.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask, sitting down on the bed.

"Well, I didn't want anyone to find out, after all, it was a secret. But, since we are best friends, I'm telling you, so you better not spill it." She says, smiling.

"How long?" I ask.

"We've been dating for two weeks now." She tells me.

"I can't believe it." I say.

"What, that I can get a boyfriend?" She asks.

"No, that my two best friends are in a relationship. It's so sweet." I say, giggling like a little girl.

"Shut up." She glares.

"Can Calum know that I know?" I ask.

"He already knows you know. But dot let him know that you know he knows you know. You know?" She teases.

"You are a piece of work, you know that?" I smile.

"I know."
