Him . Luke Hemmings

Chapter Eight

Isla's POV

"What do you mean there aren't any rooms available? Please there has to be somewhere I can stay," I said biting my lip and trying really hard not to cry. God this was just great, my so called best friend basically chucked me out of our room after an explosive row and I really want to believe she only said those things because of the heat of the moment but honestly if it's true then it does explain a lot.

"I'm sorry Miss, you'll just have to stay in the room you've already booked," The man shrugged behind the desk and I rested my head on the counter before lifting it back up and looking at him.

"Look, I've just had an explosive row with that woman that I arrived here with and I can't stay with her, please you have to have a spare room, anywhere I really don't care," I said and he looked down before looking up at me with a smirk on his face.

"Well if you're really desperate you could stay in my room, at a price of course," I bit my lip and tears pooled in my eyes was I really going to do this. 

"Hey, everything ok?" I heard and turned to see Ashton stood behind me with his arms crossed I forced a smile onto my lips and nodded slowly. Fucking hell this was a good first impression.

"Yeah yeah everything's great," I said turning back around to face the guy behind the desk. "Will there be a separate bed?" I asked and he shook his head with another smirk gracing his hideous features.

"No you'd be sleeping with me-"

"That's it I've heard enough, Isla right? You're staying with me and the others," Ashton said and swooped up both of my bags and began to walk off. I was soon hot on his heels attempting to grab the bags off him.

"Please don't, I can go to another hotel it's really not a problem, please I really don't want to be a hassle, you and the guys have already been kind enough-"

"I knew you'd be a decent person," Ashton said with a grin as he made his way to the lift and dumped my stuff in it, I refused to get in and he had to practically drag me inside the lift. This was not an experience that I expected to share with Ashton Irwin of all fucking people.

"Honestly it's fine I don't want to intrude," I said and he pressed the button on the lift to make it come to a halt. I frowned at him and he crossed his arms at me. "What's wrong?"

"I just want to know what happened, I'm a nosy shit," He shrugged and I let out a wet laugh as I had been crying.

"Me and my friend got into a heated argument, I spent the night with Luke last night and didn't even know who he was but apparently she does and she thinks he's fucking amazing and he's her favourite and she only told me to go for it with him because she thought he'd reject me, so I left and wanted to get some head space about the whole thing, these last few days have just been so much," I finished ranting and looked up to see Ashton but was met by a shoulder as he took me in for a hug. I cried slowly partly upset because the one person that would stick by me had betrayed me and partly because any of this was real.

"Everything will be fine, if she's a real friend she'll apologise and if not then you have us guys, you can have Crystal's room she stays with Michael anyway," He shrugged and I nodded pulling away and wiping under my eyes quickly as he pressed the button so the lift carried on and in seconds we were out and at the door.

"Guys?" Ashton said wondering in and holding the door open for me. I thanked him and took one of my bags off him slowly. He smiled at me and we walked to see them in the kitchen/lounge area and Luke turned around to see me and he soon hopped over it to hug me.

"What's going on? Did it not go well?" He said combing both of his hands through my hair and I rolled my eyes at him holding onto his hands.

"It went great actually that's why I'm stood here with all of my stuff in bags," I giggled and he rolled his eyes at me pulling me in for a hug. I gladly accepted and pulled away as Ashton began to talk.

"I saw her struggling to get a room so I offered her Crystal's room, hope that's ok with you guys," The room filled with reassurance and I was soon sat next to Luke as everybody's eyes were on me to explain.

"Turns out Bella's jealous that I slept with Luke, apparently he was always her favourite and she thought you'd pick her over me and that I never stood a chance," I said fiddling with the rips in my jeans and running my hand over the batman plaster. An arm slung around my shoulders and I was tugged into Luke's body as he pecked my forehead repeatedly with kisses.

"That's so shit, she's obviously just jealous, maybe she'll come around after calming down a little bit?" Crystal said hugging me into her side gently and I smiled hugging her back too before going back to Luke. They soon pressed play on Netflix after I told them to change the subject and Luke's hand made its way on my cheek to get me to look at him, he was pouting and looked adorable. 

"Of course I'd choose you, I'd be a fool not to," He said kissing me quickly after making sure that everyone else was now paying attention to the TV or their own conversations. 

"Can we go and get drunk tonight? Today's been too stressful," I said with a pout and they all agreed as we began talking about what time and where to go would be best.

"You up for a second night stand baby?"
