Calum, Lexi and Ashton walked down the sunny streets of Birmingham. "I'm wondering what Luke and Michael are up to." Lexi suddenly said, breaking the silence. "Probably nothing special, let's be honest. Luke's probably scrolling through his discover page, looking for cute girls and Michael's probably staring at pictures of Southy and Crystal." Ashton said, ending it with a giggle.

Lexi rolled her eyes and chuckled, "yeah, you're right." She said, Calum handed her a cigarette before sticking one in his own mouth and lighting them both. "Should we set Luke up on a date with somebody?" Lexi suddenly said. Making Calum and Ashton stop in their tracks.

"What?" She chuckled, turning around and staring at the boys. "We're not allowed to." Calum said, staring at his feet. Lexi chuckled, "how can you be not allowed to." She said, staring at the two boys. They both looked up and stared at each other. 

"Doesn't matter, let's go." Ashton said, grabbing Lexi's hand and continuing their walk. "No, no, no, wait." Lexi said, furrowing her brows. "Don't just change the subject." Lexi said, stopping and making the boys turn around again.

"I'll call him up right now if you're not going to answer me." Lexi said, taking her phone out of her bag. "No!" Calum said, pulling the phone out of her hands. "Especially never mention this around Luke." Ashton said, pointing his finger at her. "Don't point your finger at me, what's your problem." Lexi said, swatting Ashton's hand away.

"Sorry." Ashton said, biting his lip and looking down.

Calum sighed and grabbed Lexi's hand, sitting her down at a bench a few feet away. Ashton sat down on her other side and they both let out a loud sigh. "I kind of was the one that introduced Luke to, uhm, God I don't even want to say her name." Calum started telling. "Asparagus." Ashton said, smirking.

Lexi had an amused frown on her face and looked at the boys. "Wait, so, what's wrong about that? You didn't know she was a manipulative bitch." Lexi said, crossing her arms and leaning back. "Well, we kind of pushed him in to going on dates with her because we thought they were a match made in heaven. And then when he was too deep in we realised that she was terrible for him." Ashton sighed.

"The boy was mentally abused by her, honestly, Lex. We can not mention her name or her friends around him because it hits him in a dark spot." Ashton said, grabbing Lexi's hand again. Softly, she began to nod. "I understand," she took a breath, "but Arzay-," she cut herself off. "Asparagus," she chuckled. "Is a one in a million, a fuck up, I know a few people that are sweet." She assured the boys.

Calum and Ashton switched glances. "Who are you thinking of?" Calum said, now interested in who she had in mind. "Alright, I'll go pull up my Instagram." Lexi chuckled, grabbing her phone out of Calum's hands.

She leaned in to Ashton side, who had his arm wrapped around her shoulders whilst Calum sat on the other side, leaning in to Lexi's side so he could look at the phone screen.

"Well, first of all we can always set him up with Camila." Lexi chuckled, showing them her most recent Instagram picture. "I'd say it is kind of his type." Calum nodded, "but don't Shawn and Camila have a thing going on?" Ashton furrowed his brows. Lexi turned her head to stare at him. "Hell no, they are best friends." Lexi chuckled, patting his thigh.

"Vanessa Morgan, oh wait, she's taken." Lexi chuckled, immediately getting off her profile again. 

"Sierra Deaton." Lexi said, opening her profile. The boys immediately both leaned in, looking over her shoulder at the page. "Oh my God she's in Europe!" Lexi squealed excitedly, opening her most recent picture that showed she was in Brussels. "Wait isn't that the girl from Little Do You Know?" Ashton furrowed his brows, grabbing Lexi's phone and staring at the pictures.

"You guys need to stop grabbing my phone out of my hands." Lexi spat, pulling the phone back out of Ashton's hands. "And yes, but Alex and her have broken up like a little over a year now. She's so sweet! She sometimes likes or comments under my pictures." Lexi explained, scrolling through her page.

"She definitely is Luke's type." Calum said, nodding. "But we shouldn't just set them up on a date, come on guys." Calum said, staring at his best friends. "Why don't we DM her and tell her she should follow Luke and DM him or something." Lexi said, closing Instagram and opening her contacts list.

"We could always invite her to a show if she's in the same city as us at the same time!" Lexi said, filled with excitement. "We should do that, just tell the other boys she's a friend of yours and if they hit it off, they'll probably exchange numbers anyways." Ashton said, nodding.

"I'll text her right now." Lexi said, opening her DM's and starting with typing a message. They were all silent for a little while until Lexi finished it and proof read it to the boys. "Here's what I've got; 

Hey Sierra! I saw you were in Brussels, so cool! I'm still on tour with the boys from 5SOS and I would love to meet up with you so we can meet in real life! Would you be up for it to come to one of the shows if our schedules line up? Sorry if this came straight out of nowhere I just saw your Instagram post and I've been wanting to meet you for a little while now." 

Ashton and Calum both nodded, "spontaneous, but that's exactly your character. I hope she says yes." Calum said. Lexi nodded, going back to her feed and seeing Luke on top of it. "Oh. My. God." She said, dropping her jaw.

"He did not." Lexi said, getting up from the bench. "What? What just happened?" Ashton furrowed his brows and stared at Lexi's phone. "Oh boy." Ashton said, staring at Calum. "He has a death wish, doesn't he?" Calum said once he saw the photo.

"He did not just put on that coat." Lexi said, her cheeks reddening. "Baby it's alright he was probably careful." Ashton tried to comfort her. "Bub you know how much I love that coat, and it was so expensive, and it was a gift from you." Lexi sighed, feeling so bad since she was pouting over something with nothing but materialistic value.

"I'm going to throw all his clothing in the pool once we get to the hotel." Lexi smirked and started walking again. "Lex, no!" Calum laughed, running after her until he caught up. "Come on, baby," Ashton laughed as well, grabbing her hand again. "If he ruined it, which I highly doubt, I'll buy you a new one." Ashton chuckled, placing a kiss on Lexi's temple before walking in to another street.
