Luke's P.O.V

* 1 week later *

I exit my apartment door and quickly run down to the café, purchasing my usual. I sprint to work and let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding as I see the sign 'Ralphs Music Store'. As soon as I get in I check the time - 9:30 - and luckily I am here on time. I sit behind the counter, sipping on my hot chocolate which always warms me up and gets me ready for the day. The store soon fills up with people in different aisles who have different music tastes. I walk through each aisle, fixing anything that is out of place and head out when my shift is over.

On my walk to the studio, I decide to take my time to take in my surroundings; living in the city has its advantages I guess. As I look around I see that everyone looks so happy with their families and friends. I stop as I see a couple sitting at one of the benches in each others arms, enjoying the view and the way they look at each other with so much love and passion; I start to wonder if Lily and I will ever be like that couple. I arrive at the studio building and head inside.

"Luke!" I hear a familiar voice shout.

"We're in here mate." Ashton shouts from the other side of the hallway.

We enter the studio and walk into the recording booth straight away, our vocals sound through the huge headphones.

" Tonight we're fading fast

I just wanna make this last

If I could say the things I wanna say

I'd find a way to make you stay

I'd never let you get away

Catch you in all the games we play "

My heart almost drops at the sight of... her, as she comes in with our drinks. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and we exchange a few smiles once again before she leaves the studio. Calum wiggles his eyebrows as he's singing his lines, and I just roll my eyes at him.

"Excellent job boys! We'll give you a call as to when we will meet again." One of the producers congratulate us and tell us that they will start producing our album.

I head to the table where our drinks are placed and see that they are labeled with our names. I grab my cup from the table and smile when I read the message.

" I'll wait for you outside :) x

- lily "

My heart flutters at the sight of her name and I get that nervous feeling, but nothing is stopping me from seeing her. We exchange goodbyes with the producers and start heading out the studio.

As we exit, I see the familiar features I've grown so fond of; her long brunette locks flowing down the sides of her face, chocolate eyes locked on her phone and eyebrows furrowed together. She looks up which instantly makes me smile and she stands up to greet me. My hands are shaking, why am I so nervous?

"Hey" she shyly smiles and starts rocking back and forth on her feet.

"Sup," I smirk, she just smiles and looks down playing with her hair, a shy gesture I've become familiar with.

"Sorry, I don't actually know why I said I'd wait for you. I just wanted to see you I guess.." she lightly chuckles and finally looks at me; her chocolate brown eyes locking with my blue ones. God, she's so beautiful.

"Uh, I was going to go get something to eat. Do you wanna come?" I ask, still nervous as fuck.

"We we're all actually going to get lunch but Luke decided to ditch us for you." Calum says sarcastically to Lily, later hi fiving Ashton and Michael.

"Oh piss off Calum." I smack him on the back of the head and they start walking off.

"So, where do you wanna eat? I feel like Mexican today." I ask Lily as we walk into the direction of the restaurants on the harbor.

"Do you also feel like farting all day?" she bursts into laughter at her own 'joke'? And I have no idea why.

"What?" I start laughing, due to how much she is pissing herself but she also has the most beautiful laugh.

"People usually fart a lot when they eat Mexican, didn't you know?" I shake my head 'no' while laughing as the front of my shoe gets stuck in one of the drains and nearly fall face front. I get it out before I do and regain my balance.

"You're such a dork." She chuckles and looks around, deciding where we should eat.
