Dared- a luke hemmings fanfiction

III.

Luke's POV

Since Michael, Calum, Ashton, and I left the club at about 3 am, I woke up tired and dizzy. All of what I remember about last night was a bit cloudy to me.

I stood up even though I was having trouble maintaining my balance, grabbed my phone, then went downstairs to eat breakfast or lunch -considering that it was already 4pm.

I whipped up a bowl of cereals and some toast with vegemite and chowed on them like a hungry Michael.

I then went up to Calum's room -since we were sharing an apartment and Michael and Ashton shared an apartment not far from us.

I knocked on the door but got no reply, so I let myself in since his room wasn't locked.

"Hey Calum," I whispered, but he was still heavily sleeping on his bed.

"Calum-mmmm," I said, louder this time but he still didn't wake up, so I jumped on his half-naked body covered with the bedsheets, causing him to groan loudly.

"What the fuck, luke!"

"Wake up douche!" I said, climbing off his bed and walking out of his room.

I heard him mutter a few profanities as he lazily stood up and followed me towards the living room, where I made myself cozy on the couch and watched television as he made himself some cereal.

He went up to the couch, saying, "You're heavy, Luke."

"Must be because of all these muscles," I said as he started walking back to his room.

"Ella would crack under you," he said, then started laughing because he managed to silence me.

Oh shit. I immediately held my phone to my face and checked it if Ella has texted me already, but she hasn't.

I rushed back upstairs to my room, leaving the TV open downstairs. I sat down on my bed with my hands tightly gripping on my phone because of my dilemma -should I or should I not call her?

Maybe it's a bit too fast- Maybe she won't reply- Maybe she wouldn't remember me and what happened last night-

But maybe she would answer back.

So I finally decided to send her a text message.

Ella's POV

My friend, Carly, left me alone at our apartment to get some chips and sodas for our movie night later when my phone buzzed.

It was Luke.

'Hey, it's Luke,' he texted.

'Hey,' I texted back while a grin appeared on my face. 'Are you hungover?'

'a little bit, you?'

'kinda'

'want me to come over and give you a massage 😏😏'

My cheeks turned very red, and as I typed the next text I was glad I was the only one in the apartment because I was smiling weirdly at his texts.

'i'd prefer it if you bought me pizza. here's my address : #06 LA apartment Los Angeles, California 😂' i texted. 'extra cheese please'

'haha' he texted back and I was kind of disappointed because I expected more than a ha-ha. 'what if...

....i buy you pizza on our date tomorrow instead?'

Now I could literally feel my cheeks burn.

'who said we had a date tomorrow?'

'i did.'

'but you didn't even ask me'

'I'll take that as a yes then'

'fine, but just because YOU'RE buying ME pizza'

'i'll be over at your place at 3 tomorrow'

'do you even know where I live?'

'you just gave me your address, Ella'

'oh. okay haha'

'3?'

'3'

'See you tomorrow then!'

Luke's POV

Holy shit. I can't believe what just happened. I press my palms against my temples in disbelief. It still hasn't sank in that asked Ella out on a date and she said yes. You still have charm, Luke. You still have charm.

I opened my closet to search for decent clothes to wear for tomorrow but I didn't think she would like all the band shirts and muscle tees I had that were covered with holes, so I put on my favorite You Complete MeSS muscle tee I had, paired it with some black jeans and black sneakers, and looked at the mirror of the bathroom.

"Where ya' going?" a voice said behind my back. Calum had entered my room without knocking and had slightly startled me.

"Nothing," I said in an almost inaudible voice. "I'm just -just making sure I look okay."

"Okay for what?"

"I'm going out tomorrow,"

"Where?" Calum asked, his voice seemed surprised and interested at the same time.

"On a date," I said as I walked out of the bathroom and changed back to my sweatpants and shirt, ignoring Calum as he laughed.

"Are you serious?" He asked, teasing. "It's with Ella, isn't it?"

"Yeah," I said, annoyed at the fact that he was somewhat surprised at the fact that I got a date with a very beautiful girl.

"She's a score," Calum said as I sat on my bed and raised an eyebrow at him, signaling him to get out of my room. "Fine. Fine!" he said with his hands raised as he went out my room and closed the door.

I leaned snuggly on my bed, my head resting on both of my hands. "Yes," I whispered to my grinning self. "She is a score,"
