100 Days || Luke Hemmings

Day 15

I hadn't heard anything from Luke over the past few days, so I had come to the conclusion that he didn't want to see me anymore. Not that I could blame him of course, I practically told him not to become my friend.

I have to admit that I really like Luke, but I can't get too attached, because I know what will happen. The look on their face when you say that you are leaving and never coming back is unbearable.

But every time I see Luke, I feel excited but nervous, and I get little butterflies in my stomach. And when we touch, (cliché I know), I feel sparks everywhere. I don't know if he can feel them too, but I certainly can.

I was just leaving my apartment to go the grocery store, where I got a text from Luke:

* I will pick you up from your apartment at 7. Wear something nice :) x P.S this is a date ;) *

A date?! At this point I should be politely declining, because I promised myself that I wouldn't get too attached to anyone. But I couldn't do it. I like Luke too much to say no. I didn't really know how to reply so I just put a simple

*Okay, see you then x*

I got to the grocery store and did all my shopping. I was standing at the check out before I heard my name being called. I turned around to find Ashton in the checkout opposite me. I held up my hand as if to say 'give me one minute' and paid for my shopping where he was waiting at the end.

"Hi Eloise"

"Hi Ashton, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, although actually I had been hoping I would find you."

"Oh really? What for?"

"I was just wondering if I could have your number? I was going to ask the other day after lunch, but I thought it would have been a little awkward with Luke there..."

I thought about it, I was going on a date tonight with Luke and here Ashton was asking for my number. I decided that for once it would be nice to have a few friends so why not?

"Yeah sure, if you give me your phone I'll put my number in."

He passed me his phone and I quickly put my number in.

"Are you doing anything now? We could go and grab a coffee or something?"

I looked at my watch. 5:30. my date was with Luke in an hour and a half and I wasn't anywhere near ready!

"Uh, I can't, sorry Ashton" I said with an apologetic smile.

"Oh okay, well call me or something and we can go out. See you later"

"Bye Ashton" I waved as we bother parted ways. I started to walk home with my shopping so I could get ready for my date with Luke.
