Him . Luke Hemmings

Chapter Twenty Three

Isla's POV

"How long is this going to take?" Luke groaned leaning his head on my shoulder as we sat on the train.

"Really not that long Luke, we have like ten minutes," I said rolling me eyes and he snuggled next to me wrapping his arms around me tightly.

"I want to sleep when we get at yours," He said and I rolled my eyes continuing to type on my laptop as I did some more research.

"Well you can sleep but I'll probably still be typing up," I shrugged and he groaned kissing my neck a little before shutting his eyes I giggled at the feeling of his eyelashes flutter against my neck.

"I'll get a little nap in now then," He said and I groaned turning my head to face him and he pressed his lips to mine sleepily.

"Did you not listen to me Luke? We're going to arrive in ten- well now five ish minutes," I said and he groaned meeting my eyes. He slowly shut my laptop and I sighed as his arms pulled me to sit on his lap.

"I'm really looking forward to spending time with you where you live, it's like if I took you to Australia and I know how excited I'd be," He shrugged and I rested my hand on his face feeling the stubble underneath my fingertips.

"It's a little different, I didn't grow up here I've just lived here for three years, it's like you in LA. I grew up in Wales," I shrugged and he perked up at the mention of the country.

"Do you speak welsh? Does everybody eat leeks and support Rugby? The Welsh football team did really good last season," He said and I chuckled at him softly. 

"Well I am fluent in welsh, nobody eats leeks at least I don't think they do, there are some very avid supporters of rugby yes and I can confirm that my dad was very proud of the football team last season,"

We left the train shortly after and seeing as it was pretty late (we wanted to spend the day hanging out with the others because we wouldn't see them for about three days) we hauled a taxi in hopes that nobody would recognise Luke. He pulled up his hood and I told him to stay away from the sunglasses, if he did that people would stare. We both almost fell asleep in the taxi so by the time we got to my dorm room I sleepily unlocked the door and let myself in. 

"There's food in the kitchen but the guys might be in there playing fortnite," I said and he frowned at me. Wrapping his arms around my waist.

"The guys?"

"Yeah I live with three guys and two girls, like the friends lot I guess, we're getting a house for next year," I shrugged and he nodded smiling at me and agreeing he just wanted sleep not food. I unlocked my door and bit my lip as I looked around there were pictures of the boys plastered over the walls and I giggled a little bit as Luke did as well.

"Wow, you really are quite the fan," He said and I grabbed his face in my hands smushing his face between my fingers.

"Shush, let's just sleep," I said stripping myself of clothing and climbing into my three quarter bed. Luke laughed at this and stripped as well joining me in bed. We were snuggled pretty tight as it was a small bed and Luke looked around the room.

"I love this, it's so cute and college-y, if I wasn't going to be in the band I would have loved to study maths," He said and I rolled around to face him. I loved our nights like this, I know that we have sex a lot but we're young, the best moments for me though are the late night talks and getting to know Luke not Luke Hemmings.

"Why did you love maths so much?"

"It's just natural to me I guess, mum's a maths teacher anyway so if I did struggle with anything she helped out and I was a mega math genius in school," He said and I rolled my eyes at him pecking his nose.

"I thought you were going to quote mean girls and say something like 'math doesn't change regardless of language'" I said with a giggle and he snorted following a loud laugh. His eyes crinkled as he smiled and I lent against the pillow staring at him.

"You're pretty," I said and he winked at me.

"Not as pretty as you pretty girl," I rolled my eyes at this but looked over in panic as Luke screamed. The poster of them had fallen down and Luke's face was on Luke's face. I began to laugh heavily as I peeled the poster off the wall and Luke pouted at me. 

"That wasn't fun,"

"You're right it was fucking hilarious,"
