The Bodyguard [Lashton AU]

Chapter 8

Dedication: lashtonvevo [she's awesome *__*]

"What do you do as a work out routine?" Calum randomly asked Luke as we walked inside this one fancy looking restaurant.

"Why?" Luke questioned back, raising an eyebrow.

"'Cause you're strong as hell and you don't even look like it. I mean, you can carry Ashton on your shoulders! I wouldn't have expected that from you." Calum pouted. "I want to be that strong."

I scowled at my friend. "You don't just get strong in a day, Calum. It takes years."

"I just said that I want to get strong. Not get strong fast."

Luke chuckled. "It's a secret," he said.

"You take some kind of drug, don't you?"

"Calum!" Michael gasped.

"What?" Calum raised his hands up in defense. "I was just asking. Every guy wants to be tough. Can't really blame me, can you?"

I rolled my eyes as a waiter came over. Once Michael told the guy the number in our party, we were all led to a table near the back of the restaurant. I sat beside Michael on one side while Luke sat across from me next to Calum on the other.

We were given menus and the waiter walked off after Michael told him to get us all water. Then we all started looking through it.

Well, everyone was except Luke. I noticed he had set his menu down and was looking in my direction. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, I looked up at him.

"Aren't you going to get something to eat?" I asked him, hoping he'd occupy his attention elsewhere but on me. Wow, there's something I don't use every day.

"I've already decided," he said. "Chicken Alfredo."

"I still have no idea what that is."

"Well, if you ate your food from the hotel cafe, you would've known what it was and its heavenly taste."

"Speaking of that, what happened to it?"

"I ate it, because if I left it out it was going to get as cold and messed up, like you."

I glared at Luke while Michael and Calum made some weird chortling sounds from what my bodyguard said. I rolled my eyes before looking down at my menu, slouching against my seat.

Luke's eyes were still fixed ahead of him and I really didn't feel okay with his unwelcoming stare. I sighed and decided to stand up.

"I'm going to the restroom," I said. I started to walk off before I felt my arm being tugged back. I looked down at who was grabbing at my wrist and saw it was Luke.

I snapped, "What do you want now?!"

"I'm going with you," he said, standing up. "I believe the restroom's that way."

"We're not girls. We don't need to go together."

Luke just ignored me and I groaned in annoyance as he and I went towards the restroom.

Once we got there I went over to the sink to wash my hands. When I looked at Luke through the mirror he was leaning against the wall by the door, looking into the blue. Well, I think he was.

"Why the hell are you here?" I asked, not even bothering to hide my irritation with him as I turned to look at him.

Luke's eyes glanced over my way. "What other reason?" he asked. "To watch over you."

"No normal person goes to a restroom to watch someone else use it."

"Don't get so full of yourself, princess. I'm your bodyguard. I'm just making sure you're safe."
