Luke's P.O.V

I wake up in Marie's room, so I walk to my room to check up on her, but she's not there. Huh, that's weird. So I go to the kitchen and open the fridge to grab a bottle of water, that's when I see the note she left me saying she went to the gym. It's only seven thirty so I order room service, I order her some pancakes and bacon and I order me eggs and steak. About fifteen minutes later I hear a knock at the door and a guy say "Room service." I go to get the door and give him a good tip. It's a different guy this time but I give an equally good tip just like I did the other guy. I go out to the balcony to eat and around eight I hear the door open and see Marie looking really happy, I wave to her to come outside. "Hey Marie, I got you breakfast, I just guessed at what you would want." I say to her as I looked down at her food. "Awesome, thanks Luke. I love pancakes." She replies as she sits down and takes a sip out of the water bottle the was holding.

We make small talk for a little bit and then I ask her what we should do tonight. She looks at me and gets a weird look on her face, "Umm... Actually I have something to ask you for tomorrow..." I nod my head at her to continue, so she does "I met this guy Bryan at the gym and he is a photographer, and he invited me and you to a photo shoot and the Guinness factory tomorrow morning, and after that he asked if we wanted to go pub crawling with him and the film crew. But it's cool if you don't want to come, we can do something else..." She said, but I could tell she was just saying the last part so that I would'nt feel obligated to go if I didn't want to. So I answered with "Yeah, sounds cool to me. I didn't really have a plan for us anyway." I shrugged as I said the last part. Her smile got bigger and she said "Okay! It should be fun, this guy is pretty cool, so I think you will like him."

Yeah, we will have to see about that, I thought to myself. Instead of saying that I said "Cool." And with that we finished eating, we made plans to go sight seeing today and go to dinner tonight. So after we finished eating we both went to our separate rooms to get changed and shower. After I got out of the shower I put on my new black jeans with holes in the knees, one of the artsy shirts I bought and my hoodie that I wore here. I threw on my black slip on fans and walked out to the living room. I need to call Ryan to check up on the band stuff. So I grab the phone in the kitchen and dial his number that I have had memorized since I was eighteen. He picked up after the second ring. I checked the time here and saw that it was nine thirty, so that means it's two thirty in the afternoon there. 

"Hello?" Ryan said a little annoyed, I know he knew it was me since he responded that way. "Hey, bro. How is the US doing without me?" I said with a laugh, he did'nt like that. "So I'm guessing you're not in the US.. Canada? Maybe Australia?" He paused, my guess looking at the caller I.D and then continued "But the caller I.D says Ireland, that's a random choice man." He says like he is already bored with this conversation. I say "Yeah, well I have always wanted to check it out. Every time we go on a tour here I never get to actually see it." I'm getting a little annoyed now too. I'm thinking about my parents sitting right beside him waiting to see where I am so they can see me and fuck up my life more. "Okay, whatever. Well I only saw your parents once since you left, your mom cried like always trying to get me to say what I didn't even know anyway and your dad threatened me and looked at my phone records. But I think they went back Greece because I haven't seen them in a while, but bro I think that they really need to see you. I have never seen them try that hard to get a hold of you before, it was weird." He told me as he let out a long sigh.

"Well I'm not ready to come home yet, I think I will in like two or three days. I'm just having way too much fun right now, and as for my parents I'm sure they just want to talk to me about the whole family business thing, I heard it's going south and I'm sure if I quit the band and started working for him will be the type of thing that will get his business a lot of attention and back on top." I told Ryan while I grabbed a strawberry from the fridge to eat it. "How's Marie doing? Is she fed up with your partying and stupidity yet?" I laugh to myself, is that why he is so mad? He thinks I went off the deep end again? "Bro, I haven't done anything horrible. I drink every night, but I would be doing that there too. And she's having a good time, apparently she has wanted to come here since she was eight, so I got lucky with that one. Were going pub crawling tomorrow night with some douche she met at the gym today. Should be entertaining." I said as I walk out to the balcony soaking in the sun and the beauty of Ireland.
