The guys all pay for their food except for Calum who pays for Luke's since he's still outside. Ash pays for me, no matter how much I tell him I can pay for myself. He just ignores me and hands the waitress our money.
We all walk out of the restaurant to see Luke with his head in his hands, sitting on a bench. Great. He's upset again, thaks to me. We quickly walk back to the hotel so the guys could 'prepare' for their day out. They had to get some security because they were really planning on roaming the town. Ashton kept insisting on making someone go with me but I had never been given a reason to not feel safe so I just said no.
"I'm fine just go have fun." I tell him reassuringly. He smiles at me and kisses my cheek.
"Ok, just be careful! And no talking to strangers. Unless they look really sketchy and want to sell you drugs, then go right on ahead." I laugh and say,
"Oh, good to know!" He laughs as well and kisses me one more time.
"Ok, see you later babe, I have my phone on me incase you need can al—"
"Always call you, I know. Have fun!" I wave at him as he walks out of the hotel with the other guys. I quickly run upstairs and grab some money and a jacket, just incase. I feel my phone buzz in my pocket and see a text from Ashton: 'I almost forgot, I love you. ;)' I smile and text him back saying: 'I love you too. Now get off your phone and spend some time with the guys!' He replies: 'haha, Yes M'am!'. I put my phone away and start walking towards the mall. I go in and out a couple of stores and by a new sweater, two cute tops and a new pair of vans. I was about to call Ashton when I hear a voice behind me.
"Hi, are you Daniella Conners?" A girl around my age, maybe a year or two younger, asks me.
"Umm, yeah." The girl immediately gets super excited and says
"Can I get a picture with you?!" I'm confused at first but then I see the 5sos shirt she's wearing. Oh. Someone recognized me, that's new.
"Sure" I smile at her and take a picture with her. She gets super excited and starts asking me all these questions.
"So what's it like dating Ash? Is he a cuddler? Is he a good kisser? Oh my god!", she pauses making her voice a whisper, "is he good in bed?"
"Um... He's sweet." I say, awkwardly trying to avoid the last question.
"Oh." The girls seems kind of disappointed. "Well, I'm kind of confused. Were you and Luke ever dating? And did you cheat on him with Ashton?" My eyes widen.
"WHAT?! No! I was never dating Luke we're just friends. I've been dating Ashton for about 6 months now and I would never cheat on him." I stress the word never while talking so that she gets the hint.
"Oh, I mean I knew that. It's just the interview where they cleared that up was good but Luke just looked kind of sad at the end." I look down a little.
"Yeah, well, he was just a little tired that day." I lie.
"Oh, ok. Hey! Do you think you can ask the guys to follow me on twitter?!" Her eyes widen and I don't want to say no so I just agree. She gives me her twitter name and I say goodbye. I look at the time and it's already 6:30. Wow, I was shopping for a long time. I take out my phone and start to walk back to the hotel. I call Ashton and he picks up after the 3rd ring.
"Hey babe! How was shopping?"
"Uh, good. Got a couple of things."
"Well that's good. Are you on your way back to the hotel?"
"Yeah, I should be there in a couple of minutes."
"Ok, well, the guys and I are in our room, we're just hanging out."
"Ok, I'll be up in a bit."
"K, see you soon."
"Bye." I hang up the phone and walk into the hotel. I walk to the room and unlock the door with my key-card. I can hear laughing inside. That's good. I open the door and walk it to see Calum lying face down on the floor with Michael sitting on his back trying to 'wake him up'. Ashton is on the bed laughing a little and shouting at the bundle of bodies on the floor while Luke is sitting in a chair laughing his head off. I smile.
"What's going on here?" I ask. All the guys look up at me except for Calum who's facing the other way. I can see Luke's smile fade a little when he sees me.
"Hey Dani!" Calum says from under Michael.
"We're just being weird." Ashton says, getting up from the bed and he pecks me.
"Mhmm." I say looking back at the boys on the floor. I sit back down on the bed with Ash sitting behind me and his hands wrapped around my waist. "So what do you guys want to do with the rest of the night?" I ask them. "
Oh! Can we go to this club?! I saw it the other night and it's looks really cool!" Calum says getting up, pushing Michael off of him.
"Can you guys even drink here? I know I can't." I say, looking at him skeptically.
"Technically no, but we're allowed to go into clubs as long as we don't do any hard liquor." Ashton says from behind me, his lips next to my head.
"Oh, well... Um..." I wasn't really sure what to say. I hadn't really had a proper drink before and I didn't want to be a party pooper.
"You don't have to drink anything. We're not gonna make you do anything." Michael tells me.
"Well, I might." Ashton whispers seductively into my ear. I blush and agree to go with them.
"Yay! Partay!" Calum screams from the floor. I see Luke smile a little.
"Ok, now get out, all of you. I need to get ready." I say.
"Wait, all of us? Because you don't need to hide anything, it's not like it's something I haven't seen." Ashton says pretending to be confused. Right when he finishes talking, Luke darts up from the chair and says,
"Ok, we'll just meet you downstairs then. Let's go boys." He strides out of the room without saying another word or giving either of us a second glance. The other boys awkwardly leave the room since everyone can feel the tension between the three of us. The door closes and U turn and hit Ashton on the arm, hard.
"Ow! Hey! What was that for?!" He asks rubbing his arm.
"Stop making those sexual remarks around Luke!" I say angrily, but still gently.
"Why? He needs to accept the fact that we're dating. He wants to have you but he can't and he won't because you're mine and I'm yours. He needs to grow a pair and just get over it. And if seeing you with me isn't enough then I don't know what kind of man he is." I'm a little shocked at his words. Of course I didn't think he and Luke were back to normal but I didn't think they'd still be at each other's throats, well, that Ashton would still be at his. He sighs and rests one hand on my thigh and the other on my cheek. "Look, I know you're just being your caring and lovely self but I don't want to have to change the way I am with you just because he's around. Yes, that's selfish of me, but love is selfish." I look at him and he smiles glancing down to my lips. He kisses me and pulls me in on top of him so that I'm basically lying flat on top of him. His hands go to my waist and roam my back. I break off the kiss by saying,
"Well I guess I'm selfish too. I'm sorry for bringing it up."
"It's ok" he smiles at me and pecks my lips once more before finally releasing me. I grab a couple of things from MY suitcase and get ready for the club. This should be fun.
