"Shouldn't you like, be in your room under the covers right now getting freaky?" The boy in his underwear spoke, winking at me.

"Fuck off Michael," Luke rolled his eyes, "And go put some clothes on,"

"Is she a cop?" The dark boy quickly said, "Because I swear I had my reasons! Fuck, if my mum finds out, you don't even realise the shit I will be in-"

"Calum shut up," Luke grabbed a pillow and slapped it against his face, "She's not a cop and she's not here to have sex with me,"

The boys all stared at Luke was a blank expression, as if they were now confused. They looked to me then back to Luke, almost in complete unison. I felt my cheeks burn and instantly regretted coming here in the first place.

Michael, I think, opened his mouth and spoke after a long silence, "So like, is she your long lost sister or-"

"You're all so fucking dumb!" Luke yelled at them, he stood from the sofa and looked to me, "Come on, they're pissing me off,"

I wasn't sure how Luke managed to get so annoyed so quickly but I found it kind of cute. I followed Luke across the room and into what seemed to be his bedroom.

His room was similar to the living room, everything white and neatly in place. He had some posters on his door of bands I'm guessing he liked and band tees scattered over the white sofa opposite his bed. Luke shut the door quickly and sighed almost with relief.

"See what I put up with?" He groaned as he sat on the bed. I awkwardly sat on the sofa opposite him, not really knowing what to do.

"I'm sure they're not that bad all the time," I shrug.

"That's not even the worst they can get," Luke continued to ramble, "A few weeks back they were all taking it in turns to swing from the fucking chandelier in the dining room. Like, who the fuck does that?"

"And you just stood back and watched?" I raised an eyebrow at Luke and he let out a giggle. He was beyond adorable and in that moment I felt so mezmorised by how attractive he really was.

"Okay, so maybe I participated a little," Luke confessed, still grinning, "But only to see if it was safe for them to continue, they're like my baby brothers even though I'm the youngest,"

"That's cute," I blurt and quickly slap my hand over my mouth as I curse myself for letting that slip, guys like Luke definitely do not want to be called cute and by the puzzle in his face, it was probably the wrong move.

A proud smirk appeared on Luke's face, "I'm cute?"

"Well, I didn't mean it like that, I just meant it's funny how that thing happens," That made no sense, did it?

"It's cool babe, I get that a lot," He winked at me, before laying down on the bed.

I wanted to face palm myself over and over again for embarrassing myself like that, especially in front of Luke. I didn't want Luke to know I found him attractive or things would get weird and he would stop hanging around with me. I was finally beginning to figure him out and the last thing I needed was for me to weird him out.

"So, how did you get a place like this?" I ask, not really knowing where the confidence to ask came from.

"Erm," Luke pondered as he stretched out on the bed, "Our parents all chipped in, they said if we were going to live here alone then they wouldn't let us stay in some shit place or something,"

"But you don't work?"

"Ash and Calum do," Luke says, "But our parents just send money over every month for shopping and stuff,"

"Oh," I say, still a little startled by Luke being a rich kid, since I definitely would not have guessed.

"I'm not some rich snob, Fran," Luke sat up and faced me, crossing his legs on the bed, "I'd much rather live in some small apartment alone,"

"I can understand, you definitenly don't act snobby so it's okay. Although, I expect a Chanel bag for my birthday," I joke and Luke chuckles.

We both sit in silence and I wonder what my parents are doing right now. I wonder if they've sent out a search party or something or even called the police. I dread the thought of that, if that was the case I'm definitely in a lot more trouble than I had planned in the first place. Well, I guess I didn't plan it but I knew there would be consequences, I just didn't care in the moment with Luke.

"Do I make you feel uncomfortable?" Luke questioned and I blushed.

"No," I mumbled.

"Then why are you sat there and I'm sat on this bed alone?" Luke smirked, tapping the spot beside him and I felt my heart race. I felt like the time in the woods again when he was purposely doing this to tease me.

I stood up and walked over to the bed, propping myself on the edge. Luke laid down on the pillow and patted the pillow beside him and my cheeks went to a red.

"Lay with me baby," Luke mocked, followed by a chuckle. I reluctantly laid down next to him, staring up at the white ceiling.

"I should er, really go home," I spoke.

Luke shifted closer to me, our bodies almost touching and I could feel his breath hitting my cheek as I continued not to turn my head and look, scared of how close our faces - our lips - would be to each other.

"Same, but I'm here in LA," Luke breathed, for some reason bending his neck so his lips were close to the skin on my neck and I wondered what he was doing.

Luke looked to me, before painfully slowly moving his lips to my neck and the moment I felt his tender lip touch my exposed skin I jolted up.

"What was that?" I snap and I'm not really sure why I reacted in this way. The shock of Luke's lips touching my neck was enough to drive me insane, I wasn't sure if it was what I wanted or exactly what I wanted.

Luke stared at me wide eyed, "What is your problem?"

"You can't just go doing that without any warning!" I protest, standing up from the bed, Luke sitting on the edge as he watched me.

"I didn't even do anything! You're freaking out for nothing," Luke rolled his eyes.

"I should go," I stated.

"Fran, babe-" Luke began and even though those words used together drove me insane, I was way too confused to stay.

yoo! So in case youre wondering why Frances freaked out like that, its because shes never in touched a guy in her life, so for Luke to do that to her she was shocked and confused. Also, Frances is not falling for Luke at this point, they are still getting to know each other and need to grow more on their relationship first!

Anyway, hope you enjoy! Vote/Comment :)
