Friends With Benefits (Luke Hemmings AU)

vii.

We both woke up laughing at each other, until our heads started hurting, "Are we really those thots that spent the night at the party?" 

Micheal laughed some more, grabbing his head shortly after, "Shit, I guess we are. Who's house is this anyways?"

I shrugged, and began laughing again, though his time I didn't stop laughing because my head hurt, which it did, but because a too familiar face walked in, followed by his ever there entourage. 

"Oh my God," Matty chuckled, putting the joint that was hanging between his teeth behind his ear, "I always knew you two got it on."

I rolled my eyes, pulling the sheets further up my body.

"She's pretty good in bed, though," Matty said, turning his attention his way, "Congrats, man. But if I'm being honest, I always thought it would be that dorky kid, with the lip ring. What's his name? Liam? Leeroy?" 

"Luke," I spoke up, "His name is Luke and he isn't a dork. Now, if you don't mind, could you please leave us alone?" 

Matty smiled at this, obviously getting the rise out of me he wanted. What did I ever see in this asshole?

He took a seat at the foot of the bed before responding, "I'm sorry, babe, but I'm not in the wrong here. You're in my step-dads penthouse." He laughed, now lighting the joint he had just moved from behind his ear, "But it's alright, I'm all about free love, as long as I'm next." 

"Hey, man." Michael finally spoke up. 

"What?" Matty asked Michael leisurely, he always had this thing were he was so calm, so calm that it was disrespectful and honestly kind of menacing, "She was mine first? You seem to just be the... rebound." 

"You're a fucking prick you know that?" I said to Matty, even though I knew I was doing exactly what he wanted, "And I was never 'your's', by the way, I'm no ones property." 

"You're always so feisty, that must be why I kept you around so long." Matty's smile was so twisted, only Poe could write about it. 

"God, Matty, what do you want from us?" I said, restraining myself from kicking him in the balls. 

"Seriously, bro, what did we do to you?" Michael spoke up again. 

"Well, 'bro'," Matty chuckled, like this is the funniest thing in the world, his onlookers of course laughing at everything he said, "you did fuck my girl on on my step-father bed. And to answer your question," he turned back to me, "you didn't let me in on the action." 

One of the girls in the group at the doorway, obviously upset at the comment he just made, stormed out of the room. 

I was livid at this point, "Matty, I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but I'm not 'your girl' and haven't been for a few weeks now, and also, I don't know if all the pot has finally caught  up with you but you broke up with me." 

He smiled, like I had just said the words he was waiting for, "I do remember that, and this conversation has made me regret that decision." he stood up, his possey parting like the Red Sea so he could make his exit, but before he exit he room, he turned over his shoulder, "I'll be seeing you around, Luna." 

I looked over to Micheal who winked at a girl that had been starring at him the whole time, because that is how Michael does things. 

"I hate him." muttered, rolling over to place my chin on Mike's chest, hoping to regain his attention even though he was probley already planning on when to fuck that girl. 

"I know," he said patting my head.

Michael and I took the bus back to our side of town, since Ashton was really the only one who could drive out of all of us and both of our phones were dead. 

We didn't talk much, Michael kept falling asleep or zoning out and I couldn't stop thinking about my encounter with Matty. 

I hated him so much, but at the same time I missed him and his power and his crazy antics, even if they were borderline psychotic. But, I think that's what made him interesting. 

And honestly, if he asked me back on a date or something, I don't know if I would have to will power to say no. 

We both went over to Ashton's, because they were probley there or at Sophie's but Ashton's was closer to the bus stop. 

When we let ourselves in, everyone was lounging about watching Calum and Ashton's little brother play video games. 

"Oh my," Sophie said, giggling into Calum's shoulders, "You two literally are the description for the Walk of Shame." 

"What's the Walk of Shame?" Ashton's little brother asked. 

"Uhm, later, okay?" Ashton said, his cheeks getting hotter. 

His brother just shrugged, turning back to the game. 

"But seriously, what took you guys so long?" Soph said, pulling me down next to her. 

"We had a little-"

"Reunion." Michael finished for me. 

Everyone even Calum- who was struggling to hold his own against Harry in Halo- gave us questioning glances. 

I told a quick over view of everything that happened but trying to keep it PG for Ashton's little brother and leaving out the part about Luke, trying to protect him. 

"Shit, Luna, that sucks." Ashton said, scooting closer to me to wrap his arm around me. 

Sophie just pouted and threw me a heart sign, while Luke just looked confused. 

"Does that mean he's going to try to get back together with you?" Luke asked, speaking to me for the first time since I walked in. 

I shrugged in response, and Luke just looked down at his lap and began playing with the stitches at the bottom of his shirt. 

"Well, on the bright side," Mike said, smiling really wide like he was super proud of himself, "I got a hot chicks number!" 

"Is that what you were doing instead of defending me?" I asked, kicking Mike in the shin. 

But honestly, I couldn't be that mad because only he could get a girls number, while, not only laying in bed naked with another girl, but also being verbally insulted by one of the most popular boys in the school. 

"Mad respect, bro," Calum said, also receiving a kick form Sophie.

We had migrated down town later that night, just to mess around and listen to music, like we did some nights when there was absolutely nothing else to do and we felt like we had already seen all the movies on Netflix (which was probley true). 

We could of gone back to the same party as last night, but after I found out that it was Matty's step-dad's, we all deiced to not go; even Michael, who texted the girl and could easily of hooked up with her tonight. 

"Hey Luna," Luke asked, we were split off from the group, Cal and Soph had dipped off a while back into some alleyway to make-out and Ash and Mikey were a bit ahead trying to do some tricks on Luke's skateboard, but were failing miserably. 

"Yeah," I responded, turning to face Luke. 

"If Matty ask you back out or whatever what are you going to say?" 

"I hope I would say no, but I don't know anymore, I kinda miss him." I admitted, feeling pretty shitty about it. 

Luke sighed, "I know it's not my place to say anything, but please say no, please." 

I knew Luke was looking out for me, as always, 'I will." 

"Pinkey promise?" Luke giggled. 

"Pinkey promise."
