Close As Strangers

Chapter 3

Luke's p.o.v.

"You ready to unpack in your room?" Kyle asked Kimberley. She nodded.

"Alright I'll help you with your ba-" "No, I got it." I interrupted, kinda fast too. I blushed a bit.

"Oh, get it Luke!" Kyle said teasing Luke. "Shut up Kyle." I said nudging her. I grabbed Kimberly's bags and took them inside, and she followed behind me. We went up to Kimberly's room and started unpacking.

"So how long have y'all known each other?" Kimberley asked trying to start small talk. "Ya know, you and Kyle?" "Oh, well Kyle and Calum have been dating for a year now, so, a year." "Oh." She replied.

I was sitting in a wooden rocking chair scrolling through Twitter on my phone. It was all pretty much the same thing.

So yeah.

"So how long do you plan on staying here?" I asked Kim. "I don't know. Maybe forever, it just depends on what happens with my life." She said while taking out a Sleeping With Sirens shirt from her bag. "Oh, that's cool. Maybe I could show you around sometime." I suggested while turning off my phone. "That would be nice. I'd like that, maybe after I finish unpacking and relax. ok?" " Ok, do you need any help?" I got up from the chair. " Yeah, I guess if I want to see Australia, then sure." "Ok." She looked towards me and pointed to a TMNT bag. " Can you unpack that bag,it has all of my shirts." "Sure."

While Luke was unpacking the bag, he found a paramore, nirvana, green day, and a pierce the veil T-shirt. "I didn't know you liked all these bands, where'd you get them?" "Oh, those? I got them at hot topic. One of the best places to get shirts like those, except for that paramore one, I got that at one of there concerts." I widened my eyes. " You went to a paramore concert?!" "Yeah one of my friends took me, it was so fun!" She said. " Wow, my friend Ashton would be so jealous right now. He is in love with Hailey Williams." She laughed. "Really? I can understand that, I wish I was as pretty as her." She looked down at her hands. " Are you kidding me you're beautiful. Probably prettier than her." I reassured her. She looked up at me with a huge smile. "Really? You think so?" "Yeah." She sat down on her bed. "That's really thoughtful of you, Luke." "Thanks, Kimberly." I teasingly winked to her. She lightly rolled her eyes making us both laugh.

After Kimberly relaxed, Luke took her on a tour around Australia. When they got home it was 5:30 at night.

"Thanks for the tour, Luke. It was very thoughtful of you, I hope we can do something like this again." She said. "You're welcome. And maybe I could take you out for dinner on Friday. If you're not busy." I said, barely talking on the last part. She walked towards me a hugged me tight.

"I would love to." She backed away kissing me on the cheek.

I blushed. "Thanks for taking me out, again." "No problem." I responded.

I gave her one last wink before she walked upstairs to her room.

I walked to the living room, jumping on the couch.

I turned on the tv to Forrest Gump.

As I watched the movie, I heard footsteps.

I thought they were Kim's but they were actually Calum's.

He walked in, sitting next to me.

"Hey pumpkin, can I watch this with you?" He asked. "Of course."

We sat in silence for a while.

"So, Kimberly. You like her?" He asked.

"Maybe." I said. He wiggled his eyebrows.

"Now we both have our Mrs. All Americans." I laughed.

"How are you and Kyle?" I asked. "Really good. I can't believe it's been a whole year."

"Me neither. I'm glad you're happy." He pinched my cheeks. I laughed.

"So
