Abby's Pov

i almost dropped all the fucking food on him. what the fuck is wrong with me. He seemed to be okay with it but he was probably just being nice. i kept replaying the moment in my head and cringed every time. i had to go back to his table to cash them out but i was pretty nervous after what i had done. But i swallowed my pride and walked over, as i did I saw Luke sitting there laughing and smiling, and i could feel the butterflies in my stomach.

i love his smile, i had mostly seen his smirk but seeing his genuine smile made my heart physically flutter.

i walked back over and i noticed Luke's full attention was on me, i could feel my cheeks feel slightly hot but i tried to ignore it.

"you guys ready for the check?"

"Yup" all four of them piped up

"okay are we separate or together?" and Michael looked like he was beginning to say something before Luke spoke and said

"one" i just nodded and walked back to print their check, if i stared into his eyes any longer i would probably melt into a puddle, not to be dramatic or anything.

i brought it back over, putting it face down on the table but Luke immediately handed me a card

"oh alrighty, you really are ready." he laughed a little too hard for how terrible my joke was and my cheeks turned hot as i went back to swipe his card.

Luke's Pov *when Abby walked away*

"um what do you mean one?"

"i'm just being nice, ya know getting dinner for my best buds"

"stop the act you're trying impress her" Calum said while giving me a disapproving look

"why can't i just do something for my-"

"Lucas"

"fine you caught me" i said putting my hand up in defense. as the boys rolled their eyes Abby came back handing me the receipt and my card and said

"just sign the bottom here and then you can leave it right here on the table, i hope you guys have a great night and ill see you sometime in school" we all said out bye's as she walked away and as i was signing Ashton said

"if you really wanna impress her, leave a tip, what is the percentage in America? 20%? yeah i think so" i chuckled at how invested Ash had become in me impressing Abby. i made sure to write in enough as a tip before sliding to the end of the table. all the guys started to get up but i stayed in my seat.

"aren't you coming?" Michael asked looking confused.

"im actually gonna wait a little bit, to see what happens"

"okay then see you tomorrow" they said as they left.

Abby's Pov (sorry for the changes)

"hey Abby you can be done as soon as your tables leave, just clean everything and then lets look at your closed slip" i heard my manager say, i nodded and went back to my section that was completely torn apart. i hadn't had a chance to clean during the rush because f how busy i was. i decided to go around and pick up the receipts off the tables when i saw Luke still sitting at the table, on his phone.

my breath hitched a little bit not expecting him to be there. i would have just left him alone had i been staying longer but i needed to clean the table and get the slip. i took a deep breath and began walking over.

"you didn't leave with the rest of your friends?" i asked. his head shot up and he looked pretty shocked.

"Oh i just thought i would sit for a little bit, when are you getting out of here?"

"As soon as i clean this table and get my tips" i blushed slightly as i put the slip in my book and began clearing the table

"oh okay, did you drive?"

"i only live a few minute from here, i just walk home from work."

"ill drive you-"

"i normally don't get into cars with guys that i only met this morning" i giggle nervously. for all i know he could be a serial killer, okay Abby calm down you know that he isnt and you know you want to spend more time with him

"I'm not letting you walk home this late at night darling, finish up what you have to. Ill be sitting here" he said it in such a calm way that it made my heart melt. i nodded and tried to finish up as quickly as possible so i didn't hold him up.

"okay Luke i'm ready" i said with the biggest smile on my face

"Lets go then darling" he smiled and stood up, walking by side. Our hands brushed slightly and i began blushing like a little girl. i finally understood the bliss people talked about when they like someone, i was pulled from my thoughts as Luke reached in front of me to open the door.

"oh well thank you Mr. Hemmings, you didn't seem as the gentlemanly type." i giggled out

"dont judge a book by its cover, darling" he smirked

"how basic of you" he rolled his eyes but still laughed lightly. as we got into his car, i gave him directions to my house while music i didn't recognize played softly in the background. we just talked and laughed as he drove. i noticed that his personality did not match his hard exterior. He was nerdy, got bashful and even giggled a lot. when he pulled in front of my house my smile instantly fell, not wanting to leave Luke and also not wanting to deal with my parents in their current state, wasted .

Even Luke seemed to notice my sudden change in mood.

"what's wrong?" he asked seeming worried.

"oh um nothing, thank you for the ride home" i tried to cover it up the best i could but he wasn't buying it.

"i can tell something is wrong"

"my home environment isn't exactly, stable, to say the least" i shrugged, at this point i was used to it. but i didn't want to scare him off by telling him what my parents are like.

"what do you mean?" i shook my head and laughed slightly,

"that is a story for a different day" he pouted his bottom lip out but looked down and before i knew it he had taken my phone out of my hand and began putting his number in

"please text me if you need me to come get you, or if you just need someone to talk to. oh and you should really get a pass code on your phone" i giggled at how that was part of his concern

"noted, thank you for everything"

"no need to thank me darling, goodnight"

"goodnight Luke" i blushed as i got out of his car. He waited for me to get inside before driving off.

i walked in the door still with the biggest smile on my face until i heard

"ugh, are you finally back?"
