Spaces Between Us | A.I.

49.

- POV Ashton-

"I can't believe it's December already," Luke says with a smile.
"Me too!" Calum says excitedly.
"The break is almost here," I say. "What means I am going to see Lili again." I smile.
"One more week," Michael says.
"Actually, it's 5 days," I say.
"You're counting down."
"Why would you think that?" I say with a smirk.
"You're so counting down," Luke says.
"I mean... True. But it's Lili, okay?"
"The love of your life," Calum says.
A dark blush fills my cheek and I smile weakly. "The love of my life."
"Are you going to propose?" Michael randomly asks.
"No, no. That's too early."
The others shrug.

I look at them. "You think it's the right moment? We've been together for over a year."
"I mean... When it's the right time, it is the right time," Luke says.
Calum looks at him for a few seconds and then nods. He has that look in his eyes. It means something but I have no idea what.
"It's not the time," I say. "But one day I will." I smile and nod.
"I wanna be your best man," Michael says.
"No, I wanna be it," Luke says.
"No, guys, I am gonna be it," Calum says.
I giggle. "What if I don't choose any of you guys?"
"Who are you gonna pick then?"
"I don't know. But first I need to propose. So let's not think about it."
They all nod.

Calum takes Luke apart to talk to him. I frown but let it happen. Things between them became pretty weird. I don't know what it is. They became a lot closer and their friendship is just really weird.
I look at Michael and we make eye contact. He simply shrugs.
"Weird," I mumble and frowns a little.
"Just let them be," Michael says. "I think they're so hooking up."
"Hooking up?"
"C'mon. Don't you see it?"
"Luke likes someone else," I say.
"Who does he like?"
"I don't know."
Michael sighs and shakes his head.

I don't say anything and just start to think about it.
