Personal imagine for @lukeybabe68 let me know what you thought! X
Sorry Merinda, just realised I made a mistake in the title but I fixed it (nothing apart from the title is changed)
"I am so excited", I squeal to my best friend.
She laughs "Merinda calm down"
"I can't", I exclaim, "I'm finally gonna see Blake performing live, and I get to finally meet George and Reece"
"What time are you gonna see Blake?", she asks, frowning because she has a small crush on him and she won't see him today.
"In like an hour", I reply with a shrug, "he's picking me up and we are going back to the tour bus for a while before the show"
"Cool. Well you better get ready. Have fun and call me later", she tells me.
I say goodbye and we hug before she leaves my house.
I go to my wardrobe and pull out some black skinny jeans and a light blue t shirt. I leave my hair and make up the way it was. I throw on my outfit and black Nike trainers.
Blake texted me and said he was nearly there, his mum was driving him and to be ready, so I grabbed my phone and charger and went outside to wait.
When his car pulled up into the drive he got out and launched himself into my arms.
"Hey Bestie", he mocked in a girly voice.
"Hey, I've missed you so much", I told him as he let go of me from his hug.
"Me too", he says.
"How is tour?", I ask even though I've Skyped him every day so far.
"Great. I can't wait for you to meet the boys", he says excitedly.
"Me too"
"Especially Reece", he whispers with a wink.
"Shut up", a blush forms across my cheeks and I nudge him with my elbow.
"Hey we both know you have a crush on him"
"I've never even met him", I protest.
Soulla honks the horn from the car and I rush over and open the passenger door.
"Hey Merinda", she greets me warmly.
"Hey Soulla", I reply, sliding into the car as Blake climbs into the back.
She pulls out of my drive
"And on to meet Reece", I whisper to myself.

When we get close to the studio, my stomach begins to flutter, butterflies, I guess.
I lean forward and rest my head onto the dashboard.
"You okay?", Blake asks.
"Mmm", I mumble "I feel sick"
"You're just nervous. They're great guys, I promise. Don't be worried", he assures me.
"And we are here", Soulla announces.
"Yay", Blake says.
"Are we going straight into the bus?", I ask him.
"Yeah, if that's okay with you?"
I nod. We both get out of the car and he strokes my purple and black hair a little.
"It's okay", he mutters.
"I'll see you before the show", Soulla calls before driving away.
We mount the steps and then we are into the bus. Blake gives me a quick tour, showing me the tiny bathroom and the bunks. We go down to the back area where a massive Tv is set up and connected to a PlayStation. Reece and George are sitting on beanbags, in intense concentration, playing Fifa.
They don't even notice us come in. Blake flops onto a spare beanbag, positioned beside George's and pulls me down on top of him. I giggle slightly as I fall and the two boys look up. Reece pauses the game.
"Hi", I say brightly to them both "I'm merinda"
"Reece", he answers, looking dazed. I take lock of hair and twirl it nervously through my fingers.
Reece pov
Just before the show
"Blake I've hardly known her 5 hours", I sigh. Deep down I know I'm crushing hard.
"Ah cmon. She's amazing. Do you like her or not?", he presses. I think of her beautiful brown eyes and he mellifluous laugh. I remember her sweet voice as she introduced herself and every moment that followed.
"Yeah, I do", I tell him honestly.
"Maybe ask her on a date?", he suggests.
"No I couldn't", I argue.
"Why not?"
"I'd be too nervous. Plus what if she doesn't feel the same", I tell him anxiously.
"Trust me she does", he assures me confidently.
"Fine. After the show I'll ask her" I promise.
"No do it now", he presses, excitement evident on his face.
"Fine. But you're not coming", I warn him.
••••
"Merinda. Do you want to come for a walk with me?", I ask nervously. She nods gently and stands gracefully from her chair before heading to the door. I follow close behind.
"So I know we haven't known each other long", I start off as we begin walking.
"And you're beautiful and funny and stunning and probably already have tons of guys chasing after you, but I think you're amazing. And I'd really love it if you'd give me a chance"
"Reece. What do you mean?"
"Do you want to go on a date with me?", I scratch the back of my head.
She surprises me by wrapping her arms around my waist but I hug her back.
"I'd love to"
