Wonders of Being Me (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter Twenty Nine: Surprise

"Morning." Taylor greets me as I walk down the stairs. She was sitting on the couch, watching Spongebob like normal.

"Morning." I greet back and make my way to the kitchen. I grab the cereal from the pantry and a bowl from the cupboard and pour my cereal into the bowl. I set the filled bowl onto the counter and make my way towards to fridge for the milk.

After pouring the desired amount of milk onto my cereal (which wasn't very much considering that I didn't like milk), I make my way back into the living room to watch Spongebob with my sister.

"So are you doing anything on this fine Sunday?" She asks as I sit right next to her.

I shove a spoonful of cereal into my mouth and chew it before responding to her.

"Luke, Maddy, Ashton, Michael, and I are all hanging out today." I say and shrug my shoulders while taking another spoonful of cereal in my mouth.

"Let me guess, you and Luke, Ashton and Maddy, and poor Michael was some how pulled into this?"

"Actually, I was going to invite you to go with Michael." Luke scares us both as he spoke and descended down the stairs.

"Me? Why me? And what the hell are you doing without a shirt?" Taylor questions as she notices that Luke has pants on but not his shirt.

"Because you talked to Michael first before anyone else." Luke says quietly and I know he regrets saying it as Taylor goes quiet.

"Plus he enjoys your company and it's about time you got out of the house." I add onto Luke's statement, trying to make it less awkward for him.

She turns around to look at me, "How do you know?" She asks.

I roll my eyes at her, "Come on! Taylor! I am not that stupid, I know you just came out of a relationship but it is obvious that you like Michael."

"I do not!" She defends and smiles at the same time.

"Are you gonna come or leave poor Michael all alone?" Luke teases and Taylor shoots him a glare.

We were teasing her but she deserved it after countless teases from her when Luke and I were consitently hanging out.

"Fine." She groans, "I'll go, only because Michael doensn't have someone cool to hang out with and because I have nothing else to do."

I finish my bowl of cereal and take it to the sink, Luke following behind me.

"Were you really going to invite her along?" I whisper to Luke, "Or were you trying to scare the shit out of us?"

He chuckles, "Both. That was my plan all along."

I giggle at him, "Do you want cereal?" I ask him and walk towards the cupboard to retrieve a bowl.

"No, I'm good." He says and I turn around and look at him. A smile isn't on his face and he looks sad.

"Luke, are you okay?" I ask and he quickly looks up to me and smiles; unlike before.

"Yea, I'm fine." He says but I knew better than that, "No, you're not. You looked sad."

"How do you know I'm sad?"

"I don't know, just one small thing was off and I could tell." I shrug my shoulders and he smiles at me.

"What a great girlfriend you are!" He exclaims in an annoying girl voice.

I roll my eyes, "Why were you sad?" I asked before the topic got way out of hand.

"I just felt guilty, if I didn't say anything in the first place Taylor and Liam would still be together." He mumbles and I feel bad for him.

He really did feel like it was his fault for the break-up but I don't think he understands how grateful I was that he told me.

"Luke, what you did was the right thing. If you were cheating on me, I would want someone to tell me or at least Taylor." I say and smile at him, letting him know that what I am saying is true.

It's not that I believe Luke would cheat on me, it seemed too unrealistic but if he ever did and Taylor's friend saw it, I would want that friend to tell me or Taylor. I can't live a lie and that's why I am glad that Luke told me when he found out about Liam cheating on Taylor.

I believe that Taylor is grateful for the situation because I'm sure if she waited any longer it would've broken her heart even more. And I would probably be pissed at Luke if he knew and didn't tell me right away.

"I would never cheat on you and I hope you wouldn't ever either." He says and smiles, letting me know that what he was saying was the full on truth.

"You better not, or else." I threaten in a joking matter but mean every word of it.

"Or else what?"

"Well, if what you say is true, then you'll never find out." I say and smirk at him.

He winks at me and Taylor walks into the room with an empty cereal bowl.

"Gross." She groans and I throw my hands up in the air, "We weren't even doing anything!" I defend Luke and I.

"Yet." Luke says and this time winks at Taylor.

"You," She point to Luke with her dirty spoon, "are a gross, shirtless, boy."

"Gross, shirtless, man." Luke corrects her while smiling.

"Whatever, get out of the kitchen you gross-ohs."

I laugh at Taylor while Luke grabs my hand, he leads me up the stairs and to my bedroom.

--

"Are you ready?" I ask Luke after I was finished getting ready myself.

I look down at my outfit and admire my choice. Simple shorts with a peach sheer shirt look good but comfortable.

"Yep." Luke says and comes out of his bathroom, wearing his signature black skinny jeans and a Misfits t-shirt.

"Alright, I will text Taylor to let her know that we are going to meet up at the coffee shop."

"Okay babe." Luke says and smiles at me.

He takes a step closer to me and reaches for my hand with both of his.

"Can I tell you something?" He asks and my heart jumps; just something that it always does when people need to tell me something or when they want to ask me something.

"Yea, go ahead." I say and smile at him; hoping that whatever it was wasn't bad.

"I think, well. I just think that I, maybe, possibly-"

He was interrupted by my phone ringing. I smile as I saw that it was Ashton.

"Hey, Ashton! Are you ready?" I ask him.

"Yep! You guys are picking up Maddy? If so, can I please do it?" He asks and I smile, "Yes, I'll tell her."

"No, let it be a surprise." He says and giggles into the phone. I giggle back.

"Okay, you go ahead and surprise her. We will meet you there, okay?"

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

I hang up the phone and look back to Luke.

"I'm sorry, what was it you needed to tell me?" I ask Luke and he plasters a fake smile on his face, "Nothing. Maybe some other time." He says and takes my hand once more, leading me out the door and to his car.

(Well, shit. What do you think Luke was going to say?? HMMM the mysteries!
