Luke was on a high as he walked back into the studio. Julie had to go meet up with Flynn for coffee, so she couldn't stay, but Luke couldn't wipe that stupid grin off his face.

"What happened? We've been dying in here!" Reggie exclaimed when he got back in.

"I was out there for five minutes." Luke pointed out.

"Just tell us!" Reggie asked. Sometimes Luke swore Reggie had an overactive puppy living inside him.

"She and I are going on a date." He said, but he didn't quite believe the words as they were coming out of his mouth. He thought this day would never come.

He looked at his bandmate's faces, and he could tell that they weren't sure whether to be happy for him or not.

"Please be happy for me." He pleaded, looking each of his bandmates in the eye.

"We are, man," Alex said, walking up to him and clapping him on the back. "We're happy if you're happy."

"Just don't break her heart." Reggie pointed out.

"I won't," Luke smirked and picked up his guitar. "So, who's ready to rock?"

Julie and Luke had decided to do dinner and a concert for their date, and Julie had spent the entire day of her date distracted. She was excited and nervous at the same time.

Two hours before Luke was coming to pick her up, she started getting ready. She showered, blow-dried her hair, put her makeup on, changed her outfit three times (she finally settled on a red button-up shirt and black jeans with black combat boots that used to be her moms), then did her hair. By the time she was putting the finishing touches on her hair, she heard her phone ding.

She grabbed it excitedly thinking it was Luke, but when she read it, she was disappointed to see that it wasn't. It was still fifteen minutes before Luke was supposed to be here anyway.

Flynn: good luck on ur date girlie! ;)

Julie laughed at the text, then sat down on her bed. She opened up Instagram and started mindlessly scrolling through her feed, not really taking any of it in.

A text finally made her phone ding.

Luke: I'm outside :)

Julie squealed (yes, she's a twenty-two-year-old woman and she squealed), jumped up off of her bed and ran down the stairs and out the was sitting on the hood of the car when she got outside.

"Hey," she smiled when she saw him.

"Hey yourself." She smiled back.

They both went to open the passenger door, and their hands brushed. They both laughed. She let him open the door, and she got in the car.

"Where are we going to dinner?" She asked as he got in the car. He insisted on picking where they were eating.

"You'll see when we get there," Luke smirked, and started driving.

They drove all the way across LA to Julie and Luke's favorite diner. The band always went there's after their gigs in LA, and Julie went with them whenever she went to the gigs.

She smiled as they parked. Luke asked, "Is this ok?"

"This is perfect," Julie replied, smiling impossibly wider.

They got out of the car, and as they walked in, neither of them could really decide if they should hold hands or not. Their hands brushed multiple times, but never actually intertwined.

"This is an interesting little relationship we have here," Luke commented as he pulled the door open.

They got a table for two and sat down.

"As much as I like fancy restaurants, there really is nothing like greasy diner food," Julie commented as she read the menu.

"Exactly." Luke agreed.

Their dinner was a little awkward at first. They had a hard time finding things to talk about, so it was kind of silent. But, when Luke eventually brought up music, their conversation really flowed.

After dinner, they got back into the car and drove to the concert. It was for a small up-and-coming rock band. Luke and Julie weren't surprised when a few people asked for his autograph at the concert. Sunset Curve was a world-famous band in it's prime, and the band they were seeing played the same style music.

They had a good time at the concert. The band wasn't great, but they definitely had potential. And as they were walking out of the concert hall, Julie finally felt Luke grab her hand, and she smiled.

When they got back to Julie's house, Julie was surprised that Luke started to lead her back to the studio.

Once they got there, Luke had a stupidly cute grin on his face, and it was contagious, because it made Julie smile, too.

"Sit down." He instructed, gesturing to the couch in the back of the room, and she did. Luke picked up his acoustic guitar and started strumming.

He started playing a love song that Julie vaguely recognized from the radio, and she smiled even wider. He played love song after love song, and Julie jumped in and harmonized when she could.

Eventually, Luke abandoned the guitar and started just singing a cappella so they could dance. He had his arm around her waist, holding her close to him, and was singing in her ear. She never wanted this moment to end.

Julie was a little disappointed when he pulled away, but her heart soared when he kissed her. It was like time stopped as they stood there, and Julie hoped she would never need to come up for air.

When they pulled away, both of them were breathing heavily and smiling.

Julie and Luke went on more and more dates and started spending more and more time together after that night until it got to the point where they were spending almost every free minute together. Flynn got pissed off when Julie started spending less time with her, but when Julie told her that she was dating someone, Flynn was happy for her and wondered when she got to meet the mystery guy.

Julie and Luke had decided to keep their relationship a secret for a while (except the band, because Luke was physically incapable of keeping a secret from them, and Julie was ok with that. She didn't really like keeping it from Flynn, though). They just wanted to see where things were going with them before they started telling people because they knew that people wouldn't totally approve of the age difference.

Julie started coming to band practices more often to see Luke in his element. The guys pretended to be annoyed because it threw him off his game a little bit, but in reality, they thought it was cute. After all, their spouses all came to band practices when they started dating, and they were all a little distracted, too.
