Bandgirls // Luke Hemmings

Chapter 4

After we left the boys dressing room we made our way to our hotel room. I left my mom a message on her phone letting her know where we'd be. We all crashed as soon as we got to the hotel room, not even bothering to change into pajamas.

The next morning we all were woken to the sound of the door being banged on. I got up and walked sleepily over to the door. I looked through the peephole and saw it was the boys manager. I opened the door and he handed me a piece of paper and left. It was a note, the note read:

The boys will be back by 2pm, make sure you're ready to go out. They plan on taking you 4 out for lunch and then the rest is up to them. All I know is they are keeping the restaurant a secret, so just dress casual. The boys will be by to pick you up after they get back. Have fun.

It was only 10am so I figured I wouldn't wake the girls up for another hour or two. With the free time I had I decided to take a shower and listen to some music. I was interrupted by Carter's foot going straight into my kneecap(reminder: never share a bed with her).

"Seriously" I said under my breath. I pushed Carter(maybe a little too hard). I couldn't resist laughing when she fell off the bed.

"Ouch" Carter said confused and dazed. She was now on the floor with only a sheet around her body. Hadley and Delaney were woken by the loud sound of Carter's body and the floor colliding. They looked at me like they knew exactly what happened.

"What" I said pausing

"She kicked me in the back of my knee". They all gave me a disapproving look and began to get up. I told them about the letter and that we had to be dressed by about 2pm. They all took turns taking showers while I sat watching TV. By the time we were all done with our showers it was just about 12:30. Thankfully we all brought back up outfits in the back of Hadley's car.

We decided to do our hair and makeup first. Hadley just left her hair down natural like she usually does. Delaney put hers into a quick messy bun. Carter put hers into a regular side braid, and I straightened mine. Makeup wise we usually used the minimal amount. We all quickly looked in the mirror to make sure we looked presentable. Before we could even check what time it was there was a loud bang on the door. Well this is was gonna be a great date.

I quickly ran over to the door so the guys wouldn't be waiting long.

"Hey" I said while Luke leaned on the door frame casually.

"Are you all ready?" He asked. I nodded and grabbed my purse as the girls followed me out. I admired Luke as we walked out of the hotel to the car, he really did look good in plaid. I never thought I'd be this close to him, well even be going out to lunch with him. I forgot I was even with others people until Carter woke me from my daydream.

"Dreams do come true huh?" She whispered. I slightly smiled knowing she was right, this was my dream and I definitely didn't wanna wake up. We all walked out to the black SUV that kinda looked like the ones that the SWAT team drives. Surprisingly there were no fans around, well except us. We got into the car in twos, Delaney and Calum first, Hadley and Michael, then Ashton and Carter who might I say were getting along just okay, and lastly Luke and I. We were all packed in pretty tight, so I could smell Luke's cologne, which I'm pretty sure he stole from Calum. It smelled like a warm fire if you know what I mean. Honestly I just wanted to hug him and never let go, to just be able to have his scent around me 24/7. 

We all got out of the car and were face to face with a diner, but not a normal diner, more like a high class version of one. Luke grabbed my waist to guide me inside.... I definitely screamed a little inside when that happened.

"Two tables of four please" Calum said. The waiter guided us over to two booths back to back. Calum, Delaney, Michael, and Hadley sat and one with the rest of us at the other. I sat opposite of Carter and next to Luke.

"So have you guys enjoyed your time so far?" Ashton asked.

"Very, thanks for last night by the way" Carter said.

"No problem, I mean we got to hang out with some cool girls in return". Carter blushed a little but immediately we started a conversation on the boys high school life. We were really getting along having a nice conversation when suddenly Luke tapped me on my shoulder. He motioned towards my phone signally if he could use it. I just nodded so I could finish listening to Ash's story on how he learned to play the drums.

While we ate it was silent, almost like no one was there. After we ate we talked for a bit more, this time mostly about us. As I was telling ash about how me and Carter met my phone vibrated on my lap. I made a look at Carter telling her to finish the story so I could check the text.

Unknown Number
Hey you're pretty cool just thought id text you

Me
Thanks but who might this be?

Unknown Number
You know, is there a dashing young man with gorgeous blue eyes near you?

Me
No, not that I know of sorry :)

Luke
Oh well this might be his phone

Me
Okay well if I see him I'll let him know

I turned to look at Luke to see that he was already staring at me with a wide grin. I thought well, I'm just a fan, but this fan is gonna make a move because I'm gonna live in this moment. I slowly started to move my hand from my lap. I looked under the table for Luke's hand, bingo, found it. Before I knew it my hand was in his, and the best part, he didn't yank his hand away or give me a what the fuck are you doing face. I'd say today is definitely the best day ever. Sadly after about 5 minutes of very romantic hand holding this pleasant day was over.

"Wait" Luke shouted

Or so I thought........
