Say It Ain't So, I Will Not Go - A Luke Hemmings fanfic

part 11

Once we got to Cal’s, he and Luke helped me get my stuff into the spare room, which would be mine for the next week and a half. ‘So,’ I asked, ‘what do you want me to do for the next two hours, then?’ ‘There’s nothing to do, really, sweetie.’ Cal answered. ‘I’ll put chips and drinks out later, it won’t take long,’ he grinned. ‘Why don’t you just do whatever you need to do to get ready?’ he suggested. ‘You can claim the shower, if you want; help yourself to whatever.’ He added. ‘Luke and I can keep ourselves busy and out of your hair.’

In response I jumped on him in another hug. He picked me up and started spinning me around as we both laughed happily. Once he put me down he kissed me on the cheek and we both turned to Luke. ‘What is this, exactly?’ the blonde asked. ‘I know Cal told you I was expecting a hug while you were talking to him before we met up with you in the Starbucks earlier.’ He informed me ‘I still haven’t had one hug.’ He pouted. ‘Aw poor Lukey-kins,’ Cal cooed. ‘Is somebody jealous?’ he teased. ‘A little bit, actually;’ Luke admitted ‘can you blame me, though?’ he asked. ‘Look at her, you lucky bastard.’ He said simply, before flashing me the half smile that I was beginning to find more appealing than I thought was healthy, considering this guy was my best friend’s band mate. Cal just laughed, and pushed me towards his friend who had made himself comfortable on the bed. Of course, knowing my luck, I fell awkwardly into Luke’s lap. Calum just ran out of the room squealing like a girl.

I squirmed in Luke’s lap uncomfortably, cursing my best friend under my breath as I did so, trying to avoid looking at Luke. He slid his arms around my waist easily as if he and I had been thrown into this situation a million times before. ‘This is kind of a little –‘I said, ‘weird?’ Luke finished for me. ‘I usually don’t just throw myself into the laps of people I’ve just been introduced to.’ I explained. ‘I’m sorry; Calum thinks everybody is as comfortable with me as he is.’ I added.
