Chapter 5

Mallory's POV

Yayayaya I'm wearing some asshole's jersey who won't stop staring at me! I'm really happy right now. Not. Well at least I talked to Luke I suppose without us ripping each others throats out. And I really need to think of a name for myself, Alice, Charlotte, Lucy, Mia? I don't really know, but I am not telling anyone what my name  actually is because it's silly and I don't like it and it just reminds me of home, well my old house. I guess this mansion type thing is my home now..... maybe.

"C'mon we're going to dinner" Luke yelled to me like it was his 10th time telling me. I sure do daydream a lot. I followed him through the fancy house to the kitchen. How do these people even know where everything is.  Ashton, Mitchel, Calum and now Luke and I where seated around a 10 seater table,  I guess Marcus was making tea.

"Hey! Come sit by me, by the way I love your jersey" Calum squealed out to me. I nodded and began walking over to the spare set beside him, when suddenly I feel a tug on my arm.

"No, you're sitting by me" Luke growled while dragging me to a seat beside himself.   Calum just put on a cute puppy dog face making me laugh.

"Is that jersey yours?" Ashton asked me sweetly.

"No it's Luke's, I don't really know who the band are but I'm going to look them up later on my new phone" I explained to Ashton,  who then began laughing really loud and really cutely making me giggle. 

"Ashton" I said giggling. "What's so funny" 

"Have... have you been living in a cupboard all your life? Your phone is like 100 years old. All you can do is check the time and text people.  You can't go on the Internet.  Nokia's are shit. But I'll take you phone shopping tomorrow,  and you can get something decent" Ashton laughed, beginning to tear up. 

After about 5 minutes of Ashton continuesly laughing he quietened down a tad so I could actually reply "Ummmm well actually I kind of did used to live in a cupboard.... before yesterday I hadn't left the house in twelve years. And yeah I'd love to but I don't have any money" 

The smile suddenly flew off everyone's face, well not Luke's he was never had a smile on his face in the first place . Did I say something do offend all 4 of them. We all just sat in silence for what felt like 20 minutes but really it was only 20 seconds. 

"Oh umm sorry, can you tell us why or do you not want to tell us. Ohh umm well I can buy you one, we can go into town tomorrow, we'll go to......" Before Ashton could finish his sentence he was interrupted by a loud booming voice who happened to be Marcus "Miss Evans!! What did I tell you? You are NOT going to tell them ANYTHING or else!! And Ashton you know she is not good enough for you! You are not going anywhere with her.... unless you want to lose you're reputation. You are better than her! You are better than Luke".

Everyone just kind of dropped their bottom jaw listening to Marcus's rant. What a dick. I turned to Luke and he had tears streaming down his face. I awkwardly sat there not moving or saying anything.

"Well, umm I'm going go help Marcus dish tea up" Ashton said breaking the silence. I just nodded and watched him walk away, eventually hearing yelling coming from the kitchen. Ashton was furious with Marcus, for saying that stuff about Luke I suppose.  None of us dared to move.

About 193 seconds later, Ashton returned from the kitchen holding his hand over his left eye, and holding a big plate of pizza in the other. At least I knew what pizza was, I sometimes got to make it for my family, I just wasn't allowed to eat it. It smelt really good, but that's not what I was concerned about. I was more worried about why Ashton had his hand over his eye. Everyone was a bit slow at grabbing their tea and nobody really ate much. After we ate I began collecting all the dishes of the table, and un-expectantly Mitchell snatched the plates off me and told me I was a guest and didn't have to do chores. Everything was so different here compared to in America. I was actually treated like a girl, not a slave.

Everyone headed straight to their rooms after tea. Well I went to Luke's room and released I stunk really bad, so asked him if I could have a shower.

"Look Miss Evans" he laughed. "This is basically your house too, since you are my 'girlfriend'" Luke said while doing the bunny ears while saying girlfriend. He chucked me a large towel, and lead me to a large bathroom that had a large selection of shampoos, conditioners and bodywash. He didn't even leave me time to yell at him for calling me Miss Evans. "Wow" I said under my breathe. Luke just told me that that's only the second fanciest room in the house before leaving me to shower alone.

After about standing in the shower doing nothing for a hour, I decided I should probably hurry up and get out. "Shit" I mumbled when releasing I hadn't bought any clean clothes into the shower to change into. I don't actually think I had any PJ's in my bag anyway. I guess that I'd have to deal with wearing dresses to bed. So instead of changing in the shower, I wrapped the big towel around my body really tight making sure it would not fall down. I had no way of covering my bare arms of legs anymore, since I just washed the makeup of the scars and bruises so I just prayed I wouldn't come across anyone on the trip between the bathroom and Luke's room. I quickly grabbed my worn clothes including Luke's hoodie and sprinted to his room completely forgetting to knock before entering.

"Shit! Sorry um I can leave I just didn't really expect you to be standing half naked in the middle of the room, sorry" I awkwardly said to Luke, while awkwardly standing by the door wrapped in the towel.

"Honestly don't be sorry, even if you did knock I'd still let you in. I'm not sleeping with a top on just because you're sharing the bed with me." Luke giggled. I tried, but I could not keep my eyes off his body. It was so perfect. Oh maybe even though he's an ass it won't be so bad sleeping with him even though I hate him......

"Oi! If you're going to drool over me all night maybe, I will put a top on" Luke exclaimed making me release I was daydreaming about his naked body. I went over to my suitcase and pulled out a fresh change of underwear. Great. They were pink, flowery and frilly. Just what I liked best. I rummaged through the clothes, hoping to find something suitable to wear to bed but there was nothing at all. I could put Luke's hoodie back on but it was quite hot and I was already basically naked. I guess Luke must of noticed, my lack of suitable bed clothes as he chucked the black t-shirt over to me that he was previously wearing.

"You can wear that if you want, but you can just sleep in your underwear, I don't mind" Luke said, winking at me.

"Thanks but no you creep. Do you have any pants I can wear? I don't want you to see my butt" I replied to Luke pulling the middle finger at him.

He just completely ignored me, which I guessed meant I wasn't allowed to borrow his pants. I put my dirty clothes back in my suitcase but Luke told me to put them in his washing basket and he would wash them. What a gentleman. He probably just wanted to look at my underwear.

I went back to the bathroom to get changed not wanting Luke to see my naked body. I have only lived with him for about 4 hours and we have both seen way too much of each others bodys. And he did not need to see my scars. Hopefully he doesn't ask questions tonight because I'm too tired to explain. Luckily his plain black shirt sat half way down my thighs so he couldn't see my bum. Luke wasn't on his bed when I re-entered the room. Instead he was laying on the floor, with a blanket, pillow and a penguin teddy.

"Luke don't be stupid, it's your bed, I'll sleep on the floor"

"No it's fine, I like sleeping on the floor"

"I know you don't, get on the bed or else I'll take that penguin off you"

"Fine. Don't take my penguin."

"Yay! I win!

"No you don't, if you don't get on the bed with me, I'll take my t-shirt off you"

"Fine. But don't touch me"

"Deal, but that doesn't stop me looking at you."

"Same goes to you Luke, you're showing more though so more pleasure for me"

Luke just poked his tongue out at me before getting up the floor, turning the light and getting into bed beside me I was nearly asleep when he started talking to me again "PS: I still hate you" he whispered.

I just laughed. "Don't worry Luke, I may think you're hot, but I still hate you.... Always have..."

"And always will" Luke sighed finishing my sentence.
