#97 You're Dating Him Because Of Management

Luke:

Luke was leaning against one of the chairs in the crowded club of where him and Calum were joining in the Australia city for this evening, a drink in his left hand and the other leaning against the backrest of the chair, people crowded around him and having a really good time. Calum looked to be already wasted as fuck which didn’t seem to surprise the blond haired boy, he had chosen to be the decent driver tonight when everything was over so he was only sipping on a glass of beer, letting Calum fill his veins with alcohol and have a party just by doing that.Everything seemed to be perfectly fine. Until Luke’s phone started to vibrate, causing him to look curiously before he placed the drink on the table in front of him, pulling his phone out from his pocket and noticing how one of the managers were ringing him up.

A curious expression came to his face, but he knew that there were no doubts of not taking the chance to not answer. He stood up from the chair, earning a few confused glances from the others, even Calum but when Luke showed him the screen of his phone Calum understood completely. Luke went through the crowd until he came outside to the back area, taking the phone call and mumbling out a hello.

"Sorry to interrupt you on this evening Luke,” he greeted, Luke running a hand through his hair.

"What’s going on?” he mumbled, clearly wanting to get back.

"I have a little news for you and I’m not sure if you’ll find it pleasing.”

"Just spit it out already.” He requested, the MANAGER letting out a sigh.

"I don’t really know how to say this so I’m just going to say this straight. The media has started to compare you to a womanizer and we’re in a fear of it affecting the band. So we’re gonna give the media some new rolling rumors.”

"And that is?” Luke hesitated, feeling kinda insulted.

"You’ll have to date a girl we’ve hired. Starting from tomorrow.”

"What?!” Luke exclaimed loudly in shock, ”With who?”

He asked curiously, ”You won’t be happy with this Hemmings.” The manager hesitated in his voice making Luke nervous.

"Who?” He repeated, ”Y/N Y/L/N.” Luke’s mouth felt open in shock, not having any words to say than rejects.

"I can’t do that. I can’t even stand being at the same award shows as her, how in the world am I going to pretend I’m dating her she’s a complete monster and her feelings towards me are vice versa?” Luke’s tone got angrier as he spoke, just like the manager expected.

"We know and we’re sorry Luke but she didn’t say no when we called her, I think she’s on a lack of money.”

"Then let me pay her so I can stay away from her,” Luke requested loudly, irritated.

"That’s not how it works Luke. She’s famous and she’s known for her innocence and loyalty. I just had to break this to you. I’ll leave you to your party now. See you tomorrow,” the manager mumbled, Luke looking out in the horizon shocked and mumbling out a goodbye before hung up, torn between just going home now or continue the party.

 Calum:

"What? You can’t be serious about this, I’m not saying yes,” Calum exclaimed in disbelief, throwing the paper he before was reading, letting it fall to the table in front of him before he leaned back on his chair and crossing his arms.
