Him . Luke Hemmings

Chapter Twenty Five

Isla's POV

"So you've slept with Max? Why the fuck would you do that? You guys live together? And now when I leave for Europe you're still going to be living with him?" I looked up at Luke in disbelief. Thanks to Liam telling everybody at the table that he caught me and Max fucking on the kitchen table shortly before I left for Manchester it was hot news. We had laughed it off and so did Luke but as soon as we were back in my room it was a little uncomfortable. I decided to start on my paper so I did but ten minutes into the awkward silence after Luke had been bubbling in anger for too long he seemed to boil over and yell.

"First of all calm the fuck down, second of all why does that matter? You have groupies in Paris and Spain why can't I still live with a guy I fucked?"

"That's different," He said and I gulped. I've had this before with Ethan, double standards. Some things are ok for the men to do yet the women can't. I knew this was wrong now, I knew it was unhealthy I had to stick up for myself

"Luke I've told you about my past relationship and you know I can't stand double standards-"

"That's not the kind of different I meant," He said sitting up and resting his head on my shoulder as he sat behind me on the bed.

"It's different with you, I don't want to sleep with anybody else other than you, surely you would have caught on by now," He laughed and I raised an eyebrow at him slowly turning around to face him.

"You Luke Hemmings only want to see me? The girl who has idolised your band since she was under age and who still remains to this day obsessed with you and still has her posters of you up on the walls?" Luke laughed at this and wrapped his hand around the back of my neck pulling me in for a sweet kiss.

"Personally for me it's too early to ask you to be my girlfriend, but that's where we're heading Isla, I'm afraid your stuck with me and only me," He said holding his hands up in defence and I grinned at him wrapping my hands around his neck and falling onto my bed sheets with him.

"Wouldn't have it any other way Lu," I said and he licked his lisps after pulling away to look into my eyes.

"How did I end up with someone as stunning as you," He said tracing the outline of my jaw with his fingers. I felt my cheeks heat up under his intense stare. I still couldn't believe any of this was real.

"I should get back to my paper," I blurted and he chuckled softly at my awkwardness before hauling me up with him to sit up.

"Ok, I can take a hint, do you mind if I play video games with the guys for a little?" He asked and I grinned at him so happy that he got along with the friends I had like I got along with the friends he had.

"Knock yourself out, maybe I can actually get this paper done but on one condition,"

"Which is?"

"Just don't kill Max?" He gave me a smirk at this and a quick wink as he opened the door.

"Maybe not in real life but there's no promises for on that screen," I giggled at this as he strutted out of my room dramatically. Yes strutted. After roughly three solid hours of work I was printing out my essay. Surprisingly I understood the work that needed to be done so I found it quite easy and it took me a lot less time than I had insisted. I yawned checked the time quickly and saw that I missed out on lunch completely and just shrugged we all woke up pretty late so breakfast counted as lunch. I made my way to the kitchen to see all four boys sat on the couch and shouting at the screen, turns out they had finished playing video games and were focused on a game.

"Hey guys," I said walking over to the kettle and they all mumbled some replies before shouting at the TV. I was waiting for the kettle to boil and took a video of them all rising to their feet shouting as a boomerang and posted it up onto my instagram story. I checked my texts to see a few from Crystal saying she missed me and a few pictures of the boys followed by a text from Ashton to tell Luke he sucked.

"Hey there pretty girl," I looked up to see Luke leaning on the other side of the counter with a smile on his face. I pecked his lips quickly and pulled back to make myself a drink.

"Want a cuppa?" I offered and he nodded moving around the island to give me a hand making the drinks for the others.

"Did you get most of your work finished?" He asked me handing the milk and I smiled at him sweetly.

"I got all of it done, wasn't as hard as I had expected, we can drop it off at the professors class and then maybe go out for dinner?" I offered and he nodded quickly looking over at the other guys.

"You lot want to come out for dinner?" He asked and they all agreed saying that we'd all go to the King's Head which was our local pub just off campus. It had a pool table and great pub food as well as a big TV which played all the games that the boys were obsessed with.

"Sounds like a plan, I'll go tell the girls," I said with a smile and Luke grinned at me taking a sip of his tea before biting his lip as I walked away in my yoga pants. I hadn't noticed that he'd ran after me and when I felt his hand his my ass I gasped before being tugged into my dorm room with a kiss.

"Tell the girls in half an hour we've got plenty of time," He winked and I blushed falling on the bed and grabbing his hand to pull him with me.

"Where did this sudden urge for me come from?"

"Those damn yoga pants pretty girl,"
