Boy Next Door | l.h [completed]

Chapter 11

"Emma?" someone's voice echoed through my ears, a familiar voice.

I groaned before fluttering my eyes open, seeing Ashton head above mine.

"Hello beautiful" he smiled, standing up straight. "Hey Ash. What are you doing here?" I lazily sat up. My back was against the head board.

"I wanted to see you again, and Luke. He insisted for today, all three of us go out for breakfast and maybe later on, a movie or something like that" he finished with a smile.

"That sounds really fun" I nodded my head in agreement. "That's great. It's nine already so, are you going to get changed?" He asked.

"Yeah, now shoo, shoo. Let me get dressed" I practically shoved him out of my room.

I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans and a baby blue crop top. I walked in the hallways to see Ashton leaning against the wall. "I need to take a shower. It'll be really quick" I said before heading in the bathroom.

I turned the water on, letting it get warmer. I striped off my clothes, and entered the warm water against my skin.

I slipped on my clothes after the shower, leaving me to do my make-up and hair. I only put on mascara.

I just let my hair dry on it's own, my hair is the kind that is straight when it dries.

"Ready!" I hollered as I exited the bathroom. I threw all my stuff on my bed and left with Ash.

I slipped on some flats and opened the door for us. "Wait, Emma" Ashton shut the door before I exited the house.

"Yeah?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. "Does Luke, like have a thing for you?" Ashton bit his bottom lip after asking me that. "Honestly, I don't know. But you don't have anything to worry about" I smiled.

He nodded his head and I once more opened the door, both of us exiting.

"Hey Luke" I called out, seeing Luke sitting on my front porch steps.

"Hey" he shot right up. "Ready?" Luke asked. I nodded my head and Luke started to walk.

"Ok, so where are we going first?" I asked. "That cafe I showed you the other day" Luke didn't turn around, he continued on walking in front of Ashton and I. "What cafe?" Ashton asked. "It's this cute cafe here in Bridgewater, it's so cute. You'll love it" I told Ashton.

Ashton nodded his head.

The rest of the way was silent. "Here we are" Luke said, stopping in front of the cute cafe.

"What are we waiting for?" I asked, grabbing ahold of Ashton's hand.

We sat quickly at a table, waiting for a waitress or a waiter to come.

"Hello, may I take your order?" The waitress asked. I looked up to see a some what short blonde, with blue eyes, standing beside me.

"Can I please just get any iced tea?" I asked, my voice quieter than usual. The lady nodded her head and turned it to face Ashton.

"And you?" she asked. "Pepsi please" Ashton ordered.

Then, she faced Luke. "Hi. What would you like to drink?" she asked, giving him a flirty smile. "Same as the girl" he smiled back.

"Are you single?" she blurted out, asking her question to Luke. "Yeah, why?" he asked, confused. Oh Luke.

"Can I have your number?" she blurted again. "Uhhh. I'm kind of working on things with my crush. Sorry" he lied. Well, at least I think he was lying.

She sighed and turned on her heel and left.

I giggled before turning my head to Luke.

"Oh my god. Someone truly likes you here" I winked. "Yeah" he blushed. "And so who's your crush? Rebecca? Natalie? Do I know her?" I asked.

"That's confidential" he replied. "Luke, you can tell me. Ashton doesn't know anybody here so he won't say a word" I said.

"It's true. I won't tell anyone" Ashton assured Luke. "Well, I really just want to tell you Emma. I know Ashton won't say anything, but I just only want you to know" Luke said.

"Fine" I got up, grabbing his hand to lead us both outside.

"Ok, spill" the door shut behind me. "Are you sure you want to know? Like, you might regret asking" he played with his lip ring between his teeth.

"Luke, spill" I ordered.

He sighed really deeply, looking in my eyes. Smiling. Then he spilled.

"You"
