Brogan arrived in her hotel room twenty minutes later, and she was already stressing. She was suddenly thankful that she listened to her mum, when she told her to take some nice outfits, just in case she went out anywhere nice. Opening her wardrobe doors, Brogan began to look through her clothes. Getting out her baby pink, lace collared dress, Brogan then walked over to her bed, laying it carefully onto it. Hearing her phone beep, she got out her phone from her coat pocket, and she smiled to herself.
Luke: Looking forward to tonight. :) xx
Brogan: Me too! :} xo
Luke: I'll have a car come and pick you
up at 6:45 p.m., okay? xx
Brogan: Yes, that's fine. :} xo
Luke: See you soon, B. xx
Brogan: See you soon. xo
Taking a deep breath, Brogan got out a pair of her black high-heels, and then she walked into the bathroom, turning on the bathroom light; staring at herself in the mirror.
"Okay." She whispered to herself. "It is not a date. It's just two friends going out to dinner, because you mentioned wanting to try it out." Brogan paused and she thought about what Tamera had said. "Does Luke like me?" She asked herself.
Brogan was changed within forty-five minutes, and after spraying on her perfume, she heard her phone beep. She picked it up from the side table, and she read the message:
Luke: Just arrived outside. :) xx
Brogan smiled to herself, and she shrugged on her leather jacket, and she picked up her small, gold bag, and as she walked out of her hotel room, Brogan replied to Luke; letting him know that she was on her way. As she walked out of the lift, Brogan walked across the hotel lobby, where she saw Luke standing near the entrance. She grinned at him, and waved, making her way over to him.
"Hiya." Luke greeted Brogan when she stopped in front of him.
"Hey!" She beamed, and walked into Luke's now open arms, the two sharing an embrace.
"You ready to go?" He asked softly, pulling out of the hug.
Brogan nodded, adjusting her leather jacket slightly,
"Yes, let's go!"
Luke smiled at her, and he placed his hand on Brogan's lower back, guiding her out of the hotel, where they were met by three paparazzi, taking pictures of them.
"Allow me." He mumbled.
"Luke! Is this your new girlfriend?" One of the men asked.
Luke looked at him, and he smiled politely,
"No, we're just friends."
"Do you take all your friends out on dates?" Another asked.
He let out a laugh,
"We're just going for something to eat."
Brogan placed her hand on his arm,
"Just ignore them." She told him quietly.
The two climbed into the back of the car, and the driver drove off down the road, and the two breathed deeply in relief.
"Phew." Brogan sighed.
Luke rubbed his hands over his face,
"B, I'm so sorr-"
"Don't even say it." Brogan interrupted, looking over at him.
He smiled sympathetically at her, and then he sighed, nodding.
They arrived at the restaurant, and they were relieved to see that they were completely alone. No cameras, no people. Just them. Brogan felt as if they were finally just two regular people. Luke took her hand, helping her out of the car, and Brogan smiled shyly at him, feeling her cheeks blush slightly. They walked inside, and Luke smiled at the waiter,
"Hi. Reservation under Friend, please."
The waiter looked at the list, and then he ticked beside the reservation,
"This way, please." He replied politely, picking up two menus, and then he led the two towards a table.
After showing them to their table, Brogan and Luke shrugged out of their jackets, and sat down. Brogan glanced around,
"It's really nice here." She commented.
Luke did a quick scan around,
"Yeah it is."
They shared a smile, before looking down at their menus.
"And the food looks amazing."
"Agreed." Luke paused. "Shame they don't have any chicken and bacon caesar salad." He glanced up at Brogan, meeting her gaze, and the two laughed.
"Fuck off." She told him.
Luke grinned big, and then the two looked down at their menus.
As their food came, Brogan and Luke started eating, adding a little bit of small talk as they did.
"So what do you think of your pasta?" Luke asked, taking a sip of his coke.
Brogan nodded,
"It's delicious. You wanna try some?"
He smiled and nodded,
"Yes, please."
Brogan got some pasta on her fork, and then she handed him her fork. Luke ate the pasta, and then he handed it back to her. He nodded in agreement with Brogan, and as she watched him, she smiled,
"Don't you think it's weird that we just do things like that and it's so natural?" She asked.
Luke tilted his head to the side slightly,
"I think to other people it's weird."
Brogan laughed and nodded,
"True."
"Did you know that Sam sat me down today, and had a word with me?"
Brogan raised her eyebrows,
"Weird. Tamera had a word with me too."
"D'ya think they're that unsure about their on relationship, that they're trying to move it onto someone else?"
Brogan gasped, and started laughing,
"Luke!"
Luke grinned big at her, watching Brogan laughed, covering her mouth as she did.
"Just saying." He replied, winking at her.
Brogan smiled and shook her head at him,
"You are so bad." She told him.
"That's me." He chuckled.
"But seriously, I think they're just trying to distract the attention of their growing relationship onto someone else."
Luke nodded,
"Suppose I can see why they think it, but." He shrugged slightly.
Brogan smiled at him,
"Hmmm." She replied.
"I feel bad for you." Luke laughed.
"Me?" She smiled bigger. "Why?"
"Because your vlogs are filled with people saying stuff!"
"Awe, d'ya read my comments?" Brogan teased.
He grinned,
"Sometimes."
She giggled and then she took a sip of her drink.
After they finished eating, the waiter took their plates away.
"Thanks for this." Brogan said softly. "I've had a really good time."
Luke nodded and smiled,
"No problem. I'm glad you've enjoyed yourself."
"I did." She smiled back at him.
"And it's not too late, so you can go home and edit."
Brogan laughed,
"Yes, yes I can! At least I don't have to go to bed feeling guilty."
Luke chuckled softly,
"Awe." He paused. "Oh, and here."
Luke handed Brogan a piece of paper. Taking it from him, she unfolded the small piece of paper,
"Why're you giving me a piece of paper that says 'Lukey boy' on it?" Brogan asked, letting out a small laugh.
"It's my Skype username!" Luke laughed. "Thought you could video chat with me when you've edited your video?"
Brogan smiled, and she nodded,
"Okay, you're on."
The waiter came back with the bill. Brogan reached out to check the price, but Luke bet her to it; picking it up, and he opened it up.
"How much is it?" Brogan asked, getting out her purse.
Luke rolled his eyes,
"Put your purse away." He told her.
She looked at him,
"No, I'll pay my half."
Luke smiled at her,
"Brog, I insist. It's on me."
Brogan stared at him for a few seconds, before sighing, giving up, and she put her purse away,
"Thank you." She said sincerely.
Luke smiled and he gave her a wink,
"Don't worry about it."
After putting the money down, as well as including a tip, the two stood up and shrugged on their coats. Letting Brogan lead the way, Luke walked behind her, and the two walked out of the restaurant.
"Where d'ya think the car will be?"
Luke shrugged slightly,
"I told him to be here for eight." He replied, glancing around.
Brogan saw a flash in the corner of her eye. She instinctively stood on the opposite side of Luke, who caught on, and tried his best to hide Brogan.
"You okay?" Luke murmured softly.
Brogan nodded, and she smiled shyly at him.
The two spotted the car, and they rushed over to the back door, Luke opening it up, and letting Brogan climb into it, and then he climbed in after. As they buckled up, the car drove off, and Brogan sighed slightly, shivering slightly,
"It's getting cold out." She commented.
Luke nodded,
"I know! And you're only wearing a leather jacket!"
She scoffed,
"Uh, so are you?"
Luke smiled at her, and he shook his head,
"So you promise to text me, letting me know when you're ready to Skype, yeah?"
Brogan nodded,
"But what if it's late?" She asked.
He checked the time on his phone,
"How long does it normally take you to edit a vlog?" He asked.
Brogan shrugged slightly,
"About an hour."
"Then we'll be fine." He assured her.
When they arrived at the hotel, Luke let Brogan out, and he gave her a hug.
"Thanks for tonight." Brogan smiled at him.
Luke grinned,
"You're welcome, I enjoyed myself."
"Me too." Brogan nodded, smiling bigger at him. "I'll speak to you soon."
"Better do." Luke smiled.
She laughed, and turned, walking up to the entrance. Brogan turned and smiled, waving at Luke one last time, before walking inside and straight over to the lifts.
When she arrived at her hotel room, Brogan walked inside, and she got out her phone, calling Katie.
"Hello?" She answered after the fourth ring.
"It's me." Brogan replied.
"I know that, babe. Caller i.d."
Brogan rolled her eyes playfully,
"Well, I'm back from my meal."
"And?" Katie asked, and Brogan could hear the smile in her voice.
Brogan sat down on the edge of her bed,
"It was really fun. I enjoyed myself." She admitted.
"Oh good, I'm glad. Did anything, y'know, happen?"
"Yeah, we got papped." Brogan said casually, waiting for her reaction.
Katie tutted and scoffed,
"B!"
Brogan laughed,
"No! No, nothing happened, and I told you nothing would happen!"
She heard Katie sigh,
"Well, there's always next time." She mumbled.
Brogan gasped,
"I heard that!"
"You were supposed to!"
She rolled her eyes,
"Well, I'm off to edit my vlog, and then I'm going to Skype Luke, so—"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?!" Katie screeched.
"What?" Brogan asked.
"Skype Luke?"
She shrugged slightly,
"Yeah, why?"
"You two are so dating!"
"We so aren't!"
"Whatever you say." Katie replied in a singsong voice.
Brogan let out a laugh,
"See you tomorrow, Kate."
"Bye!" She replied, and the two hung up.
After editing, uploading and tweeting a link, Brogan texted Luke, telling him she was ready to Skype. After a quick change into her pyjamas, and climbing under her covers, she signed in and added him as a new contact. Two minutes later, Luke had accepted her, and he was now ringing her. Brogan accepted the video call, and she smiled, waving at him,
"Hi!" She grinned.
Luke waved back at her, smiling wide,
"Hey, you."
"How are you?" She asked, tucking her hair behind her ears.
"I'm good, I'm good. How are you?"
"I'm good, too." Brogan replied.
Luke leaned forward slightly, and then he chuckled,
"D'ya always wear your makeup to bed?" He teased.
Brogan scoffed,
"Oh, shut up! I look a mess without makeup on! I didn't want to give you nightmares!"
Luke shook his head,
"That's a load of bollocks!" He told her.
"Is not." She replied back defensively.
Luke shook his head again.
"So what're you doing?" Brogan asked, changing the subject.
"I'm in the kitchen." He told her, before moving his laptop around to show her.
"Very nice." Brogan commented with a laugh.
Luke grinned at her,
"What about you?"
"I'm just chillaxing under my covers." She told him.
"Always fun." Luke replied.
"Awe, look here. Luke's Skyping his girlfriend." Brogan heard Joey tease.
Luke shook his head at him, with a smile on his face,
"How many times?" Luke asked him.
Seconds later, Joey was on the screen, waving at Brogan,
"Hiya, Brogan!"
Brogan laughed, waving back at him,
"Hi!"
"Did you enjoy the date tonight with my boy Luke?"
Luke shoved him away,
"Piss off." He told Joey, as he let out a laugh.
Brogan laughed, shaking her head, as she watched.
Luke turned back to the screen,
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay." She replied, smiling at him.
"I personally think that the two of you need to have 'the talk'." Joey commented, and Brogan saw him walking out of the kitchen.
Luke looked over his shoulder at him, and then he let out a nervous laugh, before looking back at Brogan.
