This Old Town ✖️Muke

Chapter 16

"Now where are you dragging me to?" I ask, stumbling along behind him. he only laughs leaving me to wonder where we're going this time. we finally come to a stop in front of a line of shops. 

"what are we doing?" i ask.

"I told you we were going to the beach." he says, walking into one of the stores. Its seems to be some type of tourist spot because there is a whole bunch of souvenirs everywhere. 

"Come here, we have to find swim shorts" he tells me, walking off. I follow him like a lost puppy when in reality i actually am, i have no idea where i am so i'm just blindly following him.

we come to a rack of brightly colored swim shorts and Luke starts to riffle through them, pulling out a few. 

"here" he shoves a pair into my hands and turns me by the shoulders, shoving me towards the change rooms.

"do they fit?" he asks through the door of the stalls. he's in the one next to me. I just stare at myself in the mirror. No way in hell am I wearing these.

"Luke" I say calmly.

"ya?"

"why the hell did you give me Pink shorts!?" I can hear him giggling through the walls. 

"give me black ones or something!" I whine. he just continues to laugh. I then hear his door open and i can see his feet in front of my door. 

"open the door Mikey" he says.

"what-" I open the door only for my face to be assaulted by a new pair of shorts.

"try those," he says and walks away. I stare down at them. Black and red... better. I try them on and i actually like them so i change back into my jeans and walk out of the stall. Luke is leaning against the wall outside, holding his own pair of blue shorts.

"ready?" he asks. i nod and follow him to the check out.

"you boys find everything alright?" the nice cashier asks, while ringing up the shorts. Luke and i nod.

"yes mam" Luke says. and before i even notice what is happening, luke is handing her his card. i gape and slap his arm.

"Luke!" i protest.

"What?" he laughs.

"I can pay for my own shit, thank you" 

"nope, too late" he grins and takes his card back from the lady. 

"fine, then here" I take my wallet out and open it but his hand is pushing mine down before i can even take any money out.

"no" he says, 

"but-" i protest.

"nope" he says, taking the bag from her. i huff.

"fine, then i'm paying for whatever we do next" i say defiantly. he just shakes his head laughing.

"you boys seem quite popular" the woman interrupts us.

"huh?" i ask, looking up. she motions to a group of girls in the corner of the shop looking at us and whispering to each other. I then notice they are talking photos. I look to Luke in confusion. He looks just as confused as me for a moment and then his eyes widen. 

"shit" he whispers. 

"what?" 

"uh, fans?" he says more as a question. and then it clicks, we both completely forgot that Luke is like one of the most famous people in the world.
