The boys decide to make a morning of celebrating and enjoying themselves. They all sit down in front of the television to set up the Xbox.
They begin laughing a joking around so I head to the bathroom for a shower. I wash my hair and my body as I try to keep myself awake. Last night I barely got any sleep and I'm really starting to feel it now. My eyes become droopy so I turn off the shower and the heat of the water escapes the room. I stand in the shower until goose bumps rise on my arms and legs before getting out a drying myself down. I get changed and brush my hair before heading back to the kitchen to clean up a little after breakfast.
"I'm hungry." I hear Calum groan as I walk back into the kitchen.
"Go get something to eat from the kitchen then." Luke replies quickly and you can hear the concentration in his voice as he focuses on the game they're playing.
"There's no food. I've already checked." Michael announces causing me a laugh.
"I'll go get some then." Luke groans as he stands up.
He walks into the kitchen and grabs his wallet and car keys off the bench.
"I can go get some food if you like?" I suggest.
"It's ok I've got it." Luke replies.
"Go hang out with your friends. I'm not doing anything important." I tell him with a confident smile.
"Are you sure?" He questions.
"Positive."
"Thank you." He says sweetly as he hands me his car keys and some money from his wallet before placing a kiss on my cheek.
The kiss heats up my cheeks and makes me smile. He notices my pink cheeks and smiles back at me.
"Just text me what you guys want me to get." I finally speak up.
"Will do."
"Be safe." He adds.
"Always am." I smile before walking out the front door and down to his car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I arrive at the shops and grab a shopping cart. I start in the drinks aisle, picking out bottles of coke before heading to the chips and lollies section. They also asked me to get them a loaf of bread and a fresh baked chicken to have chicken sandwiches for lunch. I get to the check out and pay for the items before heading to a coffee shop to get an iced chocolate and then leaving.
On my way out of the shopping centre I notice a man looking through CD's at the front of a music store. He makes awkward eye contact with me before quickly turning away. I get to the escalators to go to the car park and look ahead at the glass windows to notice the reflection of the same man at the music store standing behind me. I'm too scared to look over my shoulder at him so I just watch him through the glass. I start walking down the escalator hoping I'm just imagining it but as soon as I start walking he does too. He follows into the car park and towards my car. I'm too scared to run away incase he chases me because I'm not the best runner. As I get closer and closer to the car he continues to follow me. I quickly press the button on the keys to unlock the car and I jump inside it, close the door and lock the car before the man gets any closer.
I let out a sigh as he walks straight past me and gets in the car behind me.
"What a coincidence." I try to convince myself as I keep checking in my review mirror to look for his car.
I turn the keys and leave the shopping centre but as I get back onto the main road I notice the mans car behind me again.
As first I try to ignore it but he continues to follow me. I decide to make a quick turn left without putting my indicator on just to see if he's following me but thankfully he drives straight past.
As I turn down a couple more streets, nearing closer to Luke's house the same car with the same man from the music store turns into the same street as me and starts to follow me again.
My heart races in my chest and my hands become clammy as my stress level skyrockets.
The nearer I get to Luke's house the more scared and shaky I become. Finally I turn into his street but the car is still following me. I reluctantly pull up in the driveway. As I do I notice the man in the car slow down a great deal and look me directly in the eye. I grab all the shopping bags as quickly as I can and scamper out of the car and into the house.
I place the groceries down on the kitchen bench and let out a sigh. I didn't notice but Luke snuck up behind me and grabs a hold of my waist making me jump.
"Jesus Luke, you scared the shit out of me." I gasp turning around to face him.
"Sorry." He apologises as I turn back around to unpack what I just bought.
"Hey Jessy are you ok? Your hands are shaking like crazy." He points out sounding concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine." I tell him.
"You sure?"
"Yes." I reply with my best fake smile.
"Good."
He grabs the food and heads into the boys as a loud cheer erupts at the sight of food. For the rest of the morning the boys run around the house making jokes and throwing food at each other while I lay in the sun on the back deck and read a book.
By the time the boys leave its faded into the afternoon and the sun has died down a little.
"I've been looking for you." I hear Luke call as I hear the back door open.
He walks out onto the deck and takes a seat next to me.
"You wanna go do something fun?" He asks.
"What do you have in mind?" I question him as I put the book down and watch him smile.
"Well the fare is in town and there's some pretty cool rides there." He speaks up nervously as he scratches the back of his head.
"Are you asking me on a date Luke Hemmings?" I ask with a grin.
"Umm, yeah I guess so." He says as his cheeks flush red.
"Well in that case, I'd love to." I reply making his face light up with relief.
"You might want to get a jumper or something. It will be pretty cold there." He tells me as I nod in reply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We walk through the fare looking at all the rides, deciding which one we want to go on first.
"What about this one?" I ask Luke as we stop in front of the biggest ride in the park that twists and turns in all different directions.
"If we have to. It looks kinda crazy." He points out.
"Come on, it'll be fun." I convince him as I link our arms together and drag him towards the ride.
After that ride we go on another 3 or 4 rides until I start feeling a little motion sick.
"I think that's enough rides for me. I'm still feeling dizzy from the last one." I tell Luke as he wraps his arm around my waist and brings me in closer to keep me steady as we walk through the fare.
"Feeling better?" He asks.
"Yeah a little." I reply as I look up at him with a smile.
"Oh my god. You're Luke Hemmings right?" A girl asks as her and her friends run up to us, reaching for their phones.
"Umm, yeah." He answers as he lets go of me.
"Can we have a photo with you please?" One girl asks as she shoves a camera in my hand.
"Do you mind?" She asks me
"No, not at all." I smile, taking the camera before taking a few photos of them and Luke.
"Thanks." She says as I pass it back to her.
"Are the other boys here?" Another girl asks.
"No, just me." He replies.
"Oh, are you two on a date?" She asks as she wriggles her eyebrows and looks over at me with a smile.
"Yeah." He nervously answers making me blush.
"Is she your girlfriend?" One of the girls asks.
He looks over at me then back at the girls for a moment before replying.
"Yeah, yeah she is." He answers which shocks me.
"Aww, you two are really cute." They all coo before thanking Luke once again and leaving.
"That's the first time I've really been recognised like that." He tells me as he walks back over to where I stand.
"Are you just going to ignore the fact that you called me your girlfriend?" I question him with the biggest smile on my face.
"Is it ok with you that I call you that?" He hesitantly asks.
"It's more than ok." I answer.
"Well that's a relief." He says making me laugh at his awkwardness.
"Come on you dork let go home." I tell him as I playfully slap his chest.
"I'm not a dork." He pouts as he grabs a hold of my hand and swings it with his as we walk to the car.
"Yes you are."
