"How're you?" I invited him inside. He looked almost the same. His hair was just shaggier and he had some facial hair going on. He looked sexy more than adorable, now.
"I'm good. I just moved into a really nice house with Harry a few towns over. We're kind of a thing now." he blushed, taking a seat on the couch. Like he had never sat there before.
"Oh. I smiled. "But I though he was-"
"Yes. He was straight. But he changed his mind for me. Just this once." he played nervously with his hands.
"Well Ash, I'm really happy for you. If you really like him them I'm so so glad you have him." I plopped down next to him. "Maybe even a little jealous..." we both chuckled.
"And you? How's your life been going?" he looked over to me.
"Uh, well, it's okay. Calum and I had a thing but, I told him no. I didn't know if I was ready to move on, and still don't, and Calum just got out of a relationship too so I'm not sure." Ashton gasped.
"Cadi isn't a thing anymore?!" he screamed, making me laugh.
"No. But now Adi and Michael are a thing. They're actually really cute." I scratched the back of my neck. His mouth fell open in response. He muttered something and came back to reality.
"Well I really think that you should take Calum up on his offer. He's very attractive and I know he'll treat you right. It may take a while to adjust but, you'll get used to it. Call him right now and give him the chance." I laughed and shook my head.
"Luke Hemmings do this or I swear!" he fell back on the couch laughing.
"Fine, fine!" I pulled out my phone and put in Calum's number.
"Hood here."
"Hey Cal, it's Luke."
"Yeah I know. What's up?"
"I, uh, I was wondering if you wanted to maybe, go out with me one day? Maybe tomorrow?" my palms were extremely clammy.
"Yeah of course!"
"Great. I'll pick you up at 6 tomorrow and we'll go to the park, okay?"
"Yeah. Tomorrow. I-I can't wait. Bye Luke!" and the call ended.
I turned around to Ashton with red cheeks and an ear to eat smile on my face.
"Get it Luke!" he spaced out the words, "I knew you could do it! You're movin' on, and I'm gonna try my best too. Get it?"
"Got it."
"Good."
"I'll see ya 'round Luke, yeah? Have fun on your date." he pulled me into a hug and walked out the door. As if officially saying goodbye.
-
"Thanks mum!" I blew her a kiss and hopped out of the car. I saw her mouth something as I waved goodbye and walked up to Calum's door. I gave it a knock and he stepped out almost immediately.
"Hey Cal!" I exclaimed happily, hugging him.
"Hey Luke!" He hugged back tightly. He gave me a look of excitement and I just nodded.
As we walked, was talked about common band interests we didn't know we had. All Time Low, Blink 182, etc. He's so cool and I didn't even know it. Plus he's hot.
His hand swiped past mine gently and I took my chance and grabbed it. He stopped in his tracks immediately and his jaw dropped to the floor. I dropped his hand, thinking that's why he stopped.
"L-Luke. Should we t-turn around?" Calum asked nervously. I just laughed and turned to see what it was he was looking at.
It was a girl. Wearing a black sweatshirt, black jeans, black vans like mine and black headphones in her ears. At first I couldn't tell who it was. Then I saw it.
Katie.
