Out of Bounds || Ashton Irwin Fanfic

Chapter 12: A Close Call

After our weekend away the two of us came back feeling refreshed and acting a lot more like a couple, of course that all had to change as soon as we got back on campus. Ashton had dropped me off at the supermarket where I then had to walk back with my suitcase. I hadn't told Luke I was on my way back because I had wanted to surprise him so when I put my key in the lock and pushed the door open I was slightly taken aback by the sight that awaited me. The boys had hosted a party why I had been away and the place was an absolute mess. There were girls sprawled across the floor in last nights clothes, Calum was asleep on the couch with a half naked girl and Luke was nowhere to be seen. I tiptoed across to my own room, hoping to hide away in there for a while or at least until everyone had gone home. I shut my bedroom door as quietly as possible and turned around to see Luke in bed with a girl, who just so happened to be wearing one of my t-shirts. He was completely naked and the duvet was barely covering his dignity.

"Luke!" I shouted, not wanting to get any closer incase I saw something I could never unsee. "LUKE!" I repeated, this time getting a little louder. He jumped up, revealing everything to me and then clasping his hands over himself.

"Alexa? I didn't realise... I um, I didn't know you were coming back yet..."

"I can see that" I raised my eyebrows and stared across at the girl who was now sat up and frowning back at me.

"Excuse me? Do you mind?" The girl piped up, gesturing for me to leave. Luke glanced back at her and pressed his finger against his lip to shush her.

"Do I mind? You're in my bed, wearing my t-shirt and you have the cheek to ask me if I mind? Listen here, love-"

"Alexa, please" Luke interrupted, grabbing hold of my wrist. I snatched it away from him, hoping I could make the two of them feel so uncomfortable they would leave.

"Is this your girlfriend or something?" The girl asked, climbing out of bed to find her jeans.

"No, my roommate"

"Why the hell couldn't you use your own room?"

"Mikey thought it would be weird if he brought a girl into your room after... You know..."

Once the girl was changed she stormed past me but I was quick to grab her arm and pull her back.

"I want my t-shirt back"

"Get the fuck off me you crazy bitch"

"Seriously, take it off before I rip it off you. I'd rather ruin it than let a tramp like you wear it in public" I snapped, tugging at the sleeve. The girl belted me across the face with the palm of her hand and before I had the chance to retaliate Luke was stood in between us, shoving the girl backwards.

"Hey! Keep your hands off her! Give me the t-shirt and get out"

"Luke" she whined, a little bit shocked that he had chosen to defend me.

"I mean it" he stated, holding out his hand for the t-shirt. The girl pulled it over her head and threw it into his face before storming out of the room and slamming the door behind her. When I turned back to Luke who was completely stark naked in front of me, with all the commotion he seemed to have forgotten all about it.

"Um, Luke? You might want to put some clothes on" I giggled, shielding my eyes. The sight was certainly pleasant, Luke was a really attractive guy and all that, but we were best friends and this was weird. His cheeks flushed pink as he scarpered across the room to throw on his clothes as quickly as possible.

"I'm sorry about all this... If I'd known you were coming back I wouldn't have... Well, I wouldn't have been in here naked" he shrugged, awkwardly standing in front of me.
