He sat me down on the bed and crouched down in front of me. "Talk to me." Again, I sighed and looked into his eyes and felt myself welling up again. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Luke. It's just- I was thinking, and this probably sounds ridiculous but... what happens after all this?" I asked him, not knowing where to start, I could have talked for hours. "What do you mean 'after this'?" he asked me, searching my eyes. I took his hands in mine. "Luke. I, I really like you. Like REALLY like you. And, because of the band, you have to go on your, Luke. You're leaving tonight and tomorrow you're going to another country. I just, I don't want this to end at all. I do really really like you, but you have to go and I don't want to have to say good bye to you. I guess that I was just very naive, in thinking that you would stay and that we'd be together and everything would be fine, but it doesn't even work out like that. It never does," I slumped down and sighed. Luke wiped a tear away from his own face. "Please don't cry," I whispered. He smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry." We both laughed through our tears, "Don't be," I said.
"But look. I like you. I really like you too, and I think that we could easily make this work. Well, maybe not easily but we can do it, I promise. Why don't you come on tour with us!? Come to all the countries, you wouldn't need to travel when you're older and stuff, you can do it with us!"
This was all too much for me, "I don't think that it would be that easy, Luke. Let's be practical. Um, I need clothes, I have none.."
"Uh, okay okay. How far away do you live?" he asked me. I shrugged and made a quick estimate, "Urm, about 2 hours away. Me and Zoe could go, get our stuff and meet you at your next concert destination?" I suggested. Luke sat there for a second and thought about it. "Yes. Yes, that's great. Okay, well um you best set off now, I guess. I can contact the hotel there and get 2 extra rooms for you each, and-"
"I don't need a room of my own," I blurted out. "Oh, well, I mean. Uhh, me and Zoe could share a room. Me and Zoe yeah.."
"You were thinking me and you sharing a room, weren't you?" Luke asked, smirking. I laughed and felt myself blush, "Yesssss..."
"Well that's fine with me. I'll book you both in, you won't need to pay, I'll sort it for you."
"Are you sure?" I asked, feeling bad about Luke paying for me to stay in a hotel with him. "Yes, it's fine honestly. Now, you best get off and get clothes packed, I'll see you in London. I'll text you all the details later." He gave me his number and kissed me, "I'll see you later, beautiful."
We both ran back downstairs and explain to everyone. "So, Zoe we best go, now. We need to get ready," I said.
"Okay. Michael?" She said, turning to him, "I'll see you later." And they had a goodbye kiss. "Stay safe, baby. I'll see you later, okay?" Luke said to me. I nodded and smiled, looking up at him, "We will, see you later." We kissed again, and off me and Zoe went to go on a new adventure.
