"God, I was hoping you'd show up" I felt two arms snake around my waist as I opened a beer. I turned around to see Luke.
"Happy birthday"
"You know?"
"Ashton and Calum came into the store the other day and may have let it slip"
"Well, thanks"
"I got you something"
"What? You didn't have to"
"Felt like I should" I said, passing him the small bag. He opened it and took the glasses case out, opening that too.
"These cost a fortune, you really shouldn't have"
"I get employee discount"
"So you've given me a cheap present?"
"It's the thought that counts"
"Thank you"
"Welcome"
"So, you staying all night?"
"Planning to. Sydney's my ride home"
"She's not going home tonight, trust me. I saw her and Ash getting pretty cosy on the couch"
"In that case you can take me home"
"Or you can stay here"
"I'm not staying here"
"But I can't drink and drive"
"And you expect me to believe that you've never done that before?"
"You're smart, Maddie"
"So, you gonna take me home tonight?"
"We'll see how things play out tonight"
"I'm not having sex with you"
"Yet"
"You wish"
"Give it a month and you'll be begging for me"
"Whatever, Lucifer"
"Hemmings, who's the chick?" We both turned to see a guy stood behind us.
"Mike, this is Maddie. Maddie, meet Michael"
"Hey" I said as he smirked at me.
"I haven't seen you around here before"
"She's not the normal type" Luke said.
"Then why are you messing about with her?"
"She's cool"
"Have you fucked her?"
"I'm right here"
"We know, sweetheart" Luke wrapped his arm around my waist, stopping me from wanting to kill Michael.
"Leave us alone, Mike"
"Fine, whatever, Luke"
"I need to go talk to Cal, you mind?"
"It's fine. I'm gonna go try and find Sydney"

"Wondered where you'd gone. I was beginning to think you'd left" I turned to see Luke. I was stood outside on the back steps that led down from the small patio. He sat down next to me.
"Why aren't you inside?"
"I need a break sometimes. You?"
"Needed some air"
"Want one?" I looked over at him and saw him holding out a pack of cigarettes.
"I don't smoke"
"Never?"
"Never"
"I don't recommend it then"
"Why do you smoke?"
"Relieve some stress"
"Fair enough"
"You ever smoked weed?"
"Never"
"Aren't you a little princess?"
"Shut up" I nudged him.
"So, what's your story?"
"I don't really have one. What about you?"
"Just a frat boy" I turned to look at him as he blew out the smoke. He soon threw the end on the ground and stamped on it. "What would you do if I kissed you right now?"
"Why don't you find out?" He smirked before pressing his lips to mine. His lips tasted of smoke and alcohol. He pulled me closer as he kissed me harder. Our lips moved in sync before I finally pulled away.
"Do you want to go back to yours?"
"You're actually gonna take me home?" He nodded. "Don't get any ideas though, Hemmings"
