03. hooking up with luke hemmings

so i accidentally deleted this chapter.... i'll do my best to rewrite it exactly how it was before.....imma go cry now....

the group was spread out on the couch and munching on pizza. the tv was playing some lame comedy that emma couldn't be bothered to pay attention to. surprisingly enough, luke had captured her attention the most that night. she hadn't talked to him much since she bombarded the pizza guy and ran back into her apartment. she was conflicted - that much was certain. should she tell ashton and maya what had happened between them? what if luke didn't want to? too many questions were swirling around in her mind right now.

unfortunately, ashton wouldn't let his question go on how emma and luke knew each other. after about his thousandth time asking, luke just told him they had met at a bar. it wasn't a total lie, right? he just left out the "i did a body shot off of her and then I took her back to my place and fucked her" part. 

their friends seemed to buy the small story, at least luke and emma didn't have to pretend they didn't know each other.

"babeeee" ashton whined "you're not even paying attention" he fake pouted and pulled her closer into his side.

if you couldn't tell, ashton was very touchy. emma didn't mind much, although sometimes she wished he would give her a little more space. "sorry, ash. i'll pay attention I promise" she smiled at him before sinking into the couch. she snuck one last glance at luke - who had his arms loosely slung over maya's shoulders - before watching the movie.

about an hour and a half of silence later, the movie was over and emma couldn't be happier. she honestly couldn't even remember what it was about.

"what should we all do now?" calum asked while shoving another slice of pizza into his mouth. honestly, they should've just ordered him his own pizza, he's eaten about eighty percent of it anyways. "not another movie, i'm begging you" emma pleaded, glancing around the room.

"why doesn't the lovely couple tell us how they met?" Michael questioned

"you already know how we met, Michael" ashton smirked at him

emma loved how her and ash met. she'd tell it to anyone who would listen, gushing for hours about the moment.

around eight months ago, emma and her old friend ashley went to a coffee shop. funnily enough, emma didn't like coffee. she only went to entertain her friend and keep her company.

ashton happened to be at that same coffee shop on the same day. they didn't notice each other, but Ashley had practically begged emma to grab her drink, which emma obliged because she had a bad habit of wanting to please everyone.

clearly, Ashley and ashton look practically similar if the cup is turned a certain way, so emma accidentally grabbed his cup. he caught her and jokingly accused her of stealing his coffee, to which she protested that she would never do that.

ashton claimed that he didn't know the girl well enough to know if that was true, and the only way he could find out would be to take her on a date. emma contemplated the offer, he was cute but also a total stranger. she decided to take a risk for once in her life and say yes.

one date turned into two, and two turned into three. before the two knew it, they had fallen head over heels for each other. before they became official, ashton wanted her to meet cal and mikey. surely if she could handle his two crazy best friends she could handle anything.

the boys were skeptical at first, but couldn't deny they were perfect for each other. she got along with the two so well, she was just as hard headed and sarcastic as they were. after introducing them, ashton was sold that she was the girl for him.
