Chapter Seventeen

Becca's POV

I'm glad they're happy, it was only the simple obstacle of not knowing how close Luke and I were, that made them stare in horror at Luke and me. If Ashton wasn't here I don't know how we could've explained it to Cal and Mike.

We come up with a few suggestions on what we should do, I'm not just going to kick them out. Plus they're great company, not to mention my best friends.

"Do you have any card games?" Mike asks. I look over at my suitcase, I pull a deck of cards out of the front pocket and hold it up for them to see.

"Can I see it for a second?" Ash asks. I hand him the cards and he shuffles them after taking them out of the box. "Its a magic trick my brother Harry taught me." I smile, I love magic tricks.

Ashton completes two tricks, both are amazing and leaving me applauding for him.

"Thank you, thank you," Ash says as if he were in front of a large audience. I chuckle and take the cards again, shuffling them. "What shall we do with the cards now?"

"Spoons," Calum says. I like that game, I look to see if every one agrees; which they do. I nod and get some spoons to use, I lay them out in a line in between me and my friends. Then we all get cards and play the addictive game.

"Whoo! I won!" Luke shouts, smiling. I was the second person to get out, Calum third, Mike fourth, Ashton first. "Play again?"

"Sure, one more time," Ash says and deals 4 cards to each person. Mine are all jacks, so I pick up a spoon right away, Mike getting out first. I put the spoon behind me and shuffle the cards, getting ready to restart the game. Luke gets out next, followed by me and Calum. Ash won.

I put the cards back into the box and the spoons into a drawer, then sit next to Mike and across from Luke. I check the time, it's 12:55.

We talk for a few hours, the topics go from me and Luke, to the mall, to beanies, to how much eye liner the lady in the lobby wears, to dancing, and now we're chatting about music. All Time Low to be exact.

"So the first song I heard from em was Backseat Serenade," Luke says, "That song was the best thing I ever listened to until Boomerang came out."

"The one I heard was I Feel Like Dancin', I still call that my favorite," Ashton says. The one I heard was A Daydream Away, wasn't it?

"I think the one I heard was A Daydream Away. That one is really good," I say, the others nod.

"The one I first heard was Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)," Mike says.

"Aw, that one is my absolute favorite! It's the first one I heard, too," Calum states and Mike smiles.

"I want to be like their drummer, he's so good," Ash says. "Rian Dawson."

"You could be like him, just keep on drumming mate!" Mike says encouragingly. "Just do it in your own house so you don't keep me up at night," he adds in a jokingly manner, making us laugh.

"No promises, Mike," Ash says. "Unless you help me carry the drumkits over." Mike smiles and at around 5 o'clock, the boys say that they have to go. I wave goodbye, they leave the building (except Calum) and leave Luke and I in our room. I sit next to him on our bed and he smiles down at me, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Who knew we could talk about a single band for hours?" Luke asks. I shrug, smiling, and lean into him, my arms find their way around him as well. Luke pulls me closer to him and lays down, so that we're both laying. I rest my head on his chest and settle like that, tracing patterns in his shirt.
