Chapter 15- A Love Triangle

I'm back to school now...waaaaa :(

A Love Triangle

She Looks So Perfect began blasting through the room, practically waking up the whole of Paris. I grumbled, leaning on something hard. "Guys, its too early to be singing!" The hard thing moved, and it was then that I realized it was Luke's stomach. He groaned and shifted me off of him. "Its not us, its your goddamn phone!"

I sat down next to Luke, pulling my phone out of my trousers pocket. I hit the answer button, not even looking at who was calling. "What?" I snapped, still half-asleep.

"SOPHIE! THANK THE LORD YOU'RE ALIVE!!!" Anna's high-pitched voice screamed down the phone. It certainly woke me up. "Anna! What the hell are you doing? I...we, were asleep!" I glanced around the room. The rest of the boys were still asleep, except Luke. He was sitting next to me, rubbing his eyes. He was adorable when he was tired. Hang on, wasn't he always?

"Soph, its almost half eleven in the morning! What are you guys doing, sleeping on a great day like this!" I squinted to look out of the window. It didn't look very great to me. "Well, we had a very busy, and very wet day yesterday..." I glanced over at Luke, who nodded, inching closer to me, close enough to rest his head on my shoulder. I ran my free hand through his hair. It was like we were a real couple...I almost wished it at that point.

I heard Anna snicker over the phone. "Are you with Luke by any chance?" If she was next to me I would have probably punched her. "Anna! Stop! You know what happened last year, I'm not risking that again." Luke pulled away and stared at me. I immediately regretted saying it, I knew he wouldn't leave it alone now. I sighed. "Anna, we're in a hurry, we're off to Spain later today, I'll call you tonight, pinky promise."

Anna giggled. "Okay, Strawberry, talk to you later. Say hi to the boys for me! And use protection!"

I dropped the call quickly, but Luke heard it, because he shook his head and smiled. "Use protection? Nice." I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks. I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at the floor, waiting for it. "She's a good friend."

Luke chuckled shortly, then he stopped. "Sophie..."

I cut him off. "Luke, just drop it. I told you, I don't wanna talk about it."

"Why not?" He slipped off the sofa and knelt down in front of me, eyeing me carefully. He placed his hands on my knees, squeezing them slightly. "Why can't you tell me?" I shook my head. "You don't understand."

"Then make me." Luke pushed up so he was level with me. "Make me understand, because I want to understand." He paused, and my breath caught in my throat. I held it, waiting for what he was going to say. "I'm not sure whether you heard me last night, but I said that I..."

"Luke! Are you trying to propose?" Ashton's voice emerged from the other end of the sofa. He was staring at us carefully. Luke cleared his throat and pushed away to sit on the floor. Yet again, the perfect moment was interrupted. I was getting sick of it actually. I shook my head. "No, Ash, Luke isn't man enough to propose to me." Then we all laughed, and it was back to normal again, just like that. Back to us joking around, making fun of each other. One minute we were so close to being something more, the next minute it all changed.

"Well, we better get moving!" I stood up and brushed myself down. "We're off to Spain now, right?"

Ashton scratched his head. "Well, there's been a change of plan, we're going to Italy for 2 days first, then Spain." I blinked. That was news to me. Luke looked confused. It was obviously news to him too.
