One Step Closer (Sequel to OSAAT)

Chapter Thirty-Four

Luke's POV

"So, you're the famous Luke." Kylie said as we sat down at a table in a local cafe.

"I guess so. Are you disappointed?" I asked, trying to be flirty.

"Actually, yes." she said and I gasped. "I imagined you with brown hair... my whole imagination is confused." I laughed and she smiled at me. "I've actually seen you before, so no, I'm not disappointed at all."

"That's nice to know." I said and a group of loud girls walked into the coffee shop. One of them I recognized. She smiled at me and I waved at her. She started walking toward me and I mentally facepalmed.

"Sorry for leaving so rudely like that yesterday." Quinn said and I shrugged. Kylie coughed and I looked at her. "Oh, Quinn, this is-"

"Kylie... yeah, we know each other." she said. I looked at Kylie she gave me a speedy quick smile and looked down at her phone. "Well, it was nice seeing you, Luke. Maybe we could hang out sometime." she said in a flirtatious manner. She slipped me a piece of paper and I looked down at it.

"She just gave me her number." I said after Quinn had walked away.

"Yeah, figures." Kylie said and I quickly stuffed the paper in my pocket.

"It's not like I'm going to ever use it, though." I said and Kylie looked at me.

"Trust me... you don't want to." she said and shrugged. "But anyway, let's not linger on the topic of pure bitch. And please don't think that I'm one of those girls that calls anything with a better chance with a certain guy than me a bitch."

"Oh, wouldn't dream of it." I said and she sighed. "Did something happen between the two of you?"

"Yeah, kind of." she said, putting her phone away.

"You want to talk about it?" I asked.

"No, not really... I'm going to go order something. Want me to order anything for you?" she asked me.

"Just get me a green tea, please." I said and she nodded. She walked away from the table and to the counter. I looked over at the group of girls that Quinn was with and met her stare. She waved at me and I just looked away from her.

Ali's POV

"Ali! Briley! Your dad's home!" I heard my mom yell. Briley and me both walked out of my room. We walked down the stairs and I was enveloped in a huge hug. I hugged my dad back and he kissed my head, making a dramatic 'Muah' sound.

"Hi, daddy." I said and he smiled at me.

"How are you?" he asked me.

"I'm good." I said and we all walked into the kitchen. "I should be getting back now, though." I said to everyone. "I have a date to attend to..."

"Niall's in town? We need to meet him!" My mom said and I sighed.

"I'm not with Niall anymore." I told her and she looked at me. "I met another guy... his name is Jack. He's really good friends with Lauren and we kind of just clicked."

"Jack's really great." Briley said and I smiled at her.

"What happened with Niall, sweetheart?" Mom asked me.

"We just didn't work out." I said and looked down.

"Well, I need to meet this Jack." My dad said and I rolled my eyes.

"You'll meet him soon enough... I promise. Now, I really need to go... so if you don't mind, I'm going to steal a piece of pizza and skedaddle." I quickly took a piece of pizza and waved goodbye to my family members. I walked out of the kitchen and out of the front door. When I reached my car, I got in and finished my pizza slice.
