"Lex?" A yell from the entrance of the house sounded, making Lexi furrow her brows and look up. "Oh, shit." She groaned, totally forgetting. Sierra walked inside, holding Petunia on her leash and showing Lexi the biggest smile.

"Lexi are you-" she started saying until she found Lexi, spread across the couch in her pajama's. "Don't tell me you have been there since this morning when we facetimed." She smirked, taking the leash off of Petunia and letting her scurry over to Lexi to cuddle.

"Hey Petunia." Lexi smiled, picking the dog up and holding her in her lap. She licked her face for a second until laying down in her lap. "I mean, I might have been." Lexi smirked back, biting her lip. "What have you even done, honestly." Sierra laughed, putting the bag of food she was holding down in the kitchen before walking back over.

"I have been very productive and watched an entire season of Jane The Virgin." Lexi smirked, staring at Sierra whilst she sat down on the couch next to her. "Go and get ready you lazy bastard." Sierra said, picking up Petunia and making her jump on the ground before walking over to her bed in the corner. "Alright, alright." Lexi rolled her eyes and got up.

Lexi strolled up the stairs whilst thinking about what to wear. Sierra and Lexi were going to have dinner somewhere tonight, have fun and talk about life. It has been three weeks since the boys started going to the studio to write songs and Lexi does still miss Ashton, although she's accepted him being away more than before.

Once the album is finished, she'll get her man back and they can go plan their wedding, which is the only thing she can think about in the evenings when she should be dozing off to sleep. Did she want to have the wedding in Australia or in the USA? Did she want a summer theme? A flowery theme? A woody theme? And then there was the food, she still didn't have a dress and did she even want a cake?

Lexi shook her head, shaking herself out of her thoughts once she realised she had been standing at the top of the stairs just thinking about it. She walked in to her room to see Duke laying on her bed, smiling. "Hey Duke." She said softly, walking past him towards her closet. He picked up his head and looked at her before continuing his slumber.

Lexi looked through the racks of clothing until finding a dress she liked, throwing it on the chair in the corner before looking at the heels in her closet. She just got a pair before walking over to the bathroom and quickly rinse off. Afterwards she did her makeup and blow dried her hair before getting in to her outfit. A short hour later she was good to go and walked down the stairs.

Sierra was sat on the couch in the living room, staring at her phone screen whilst Petunia's head was placed on her thigh and softly petted it. "I'm ready." Lexi said, making Sierra look up and smile, "took you long enough, you look gorgeous though." She laughed before getting up and walking over to Lexi.

"Alright let's go." She said, reaching for her pursue and following Lexi to the hallway. She quickly got a jacket and walked out the door, walking over to Sierra's car. "I am excited!" Sierra said happily, getting a similar response from Lexi.

They talked about random things during the drive to the restaurant and once they got out Lexi looked at what restaurant Sierra had picked. "Italian? I thought you weren't really in to Italian food?" Lexi furrowed her brows whilst staring at Sierra. "Have been since I got that pizza on my first date with Luke." She smirked nervously and then lead the way to the entrance.

Lexi followed Sierra inside, they got seated almost immediately and got a free glass of complementary Prosecco making Lexi smile wider. "Well that's just great." Lexi smiled, raising the glass and staring at Sierra who picked it up as well. "To life, to love and to happiness." Sierra said before softly clinging their glasses together.

"So how was your day with Petunia?" Lexi laughed whilst putting her glass down. "It was amazing, we had the best girls day, got our nails done, you know." Sierra chuckled, staring at Lexi who laughed as well. "I like having Petunia around, she reminds me of Luke, obviously." She replied. Lexi nodded, Petunia was so sweet and it meant a lot that Luke trusted Sierra with her.

"I do miss Luke though, we went from hanging out every day to barely seeing each other and we only just started actually dating." Sierra sighed, making Lexi nod. "It has been three months since we got back from tour so I would say that- Oh My God." Lexi suddenly said, dropping her jaw.

"Ashton and mine half year anniversary is tomorrow." Lexi widened her eyes and held her head in her hands. "Oh, that's big." Sierra widened her eyes. "How could I forget? It's so easy since we started dating on the first of September." She sighed, rolling her eyes. "Are you sure he got you something? Don't you think he might have forgotten too since he's busy songwriting?" Sierra said, widening her eyes.

"Well, he got me something literally for our one week anniversary, and for three months he got me something, so I'm pretty sure he'll get me something." Lexi groaned, sitting back in her chair, shaking her head. "How can I forget, I'm so stupid." Lexi said, staring at her glass of champagne. 

Sierra and Lexi were both quiet for a second, unsure what to say.

"Can't you just surprise him with a romantic home cooked meal and bath or something? Is it really that important that you go all out? It's only six months." Sierra furrowed her brows. "I know, I don't need something big, I just need to show him I did not forget all of it." Lexi sighed, taking a sip of her champagne.

"I'll just do that, make his favourite dish. I'll send Cal to Roy and Luke can hang out with you tomorrow night." Lexi said, staring outside. "See, everything will work out, it'll be great." Sierra smiled.
