"Luke are you almost ready?" I call from Luke's bathroom.

We are currently getting ready for Calum's parents anniversary dinner. I have on the purple dress Luke told me to wear, and i'm feeling extra confident tonight. I did my usual makeup, only with a little extra eyeshadow. Luke's currently getting ready in his room, after hours of me pestering him to get ready.

I walk out of the bathroom and into Luke's room. I see him standing in front of his mirror trying to tie his tie. His eyebrows are scrunched and his face is focused.

"Forget it, i'm not going." Luke says as he tosses the tie onto the floor.

I walk over and bend over to pick it up.

"You're so impatient." I laugh as I put the tie around his collar.

"Where'd you learn how to tie a tie?" He asks.

"Michael taught me years ago." I tell him.

"Why?"

"He said I should know how to tie my husbands tie one day. Guess that paid off." I chuckle.

"Are you saying you want to get married one day, making me your husband?" Luke smirks.

My eyes widen. "That's not what I meant I-"

He laughs. "Relax, i'm kidding."

I roll my eyes as I continue to tie his tie. But a pang of sadness goes through me. What does he mean he was kidding? Does he not want to get married some day? I mean, obviously not any time soon but, what's the point of dating someone if you don't see a future with them? I shake the thoughts from my head. I'm definitely overreacting. I'm not even eighteen years old yet, I shouldn't be thinking about marriage at all.

"What are you thinking about?" Luke asks.

"Nothing." I lie. "There, all done."

He looks in the mirror and slightly adjusts his tie.

"Thanks." He says.

"Come on, we're already behind schedule." I say as I grab my purse from the bed.

"May, the party doesn't start until eight."

"Yeah, so?"

"So, it's only seven-thirty. We have tons of time." Luke says.

"That's not plenty of time." I say.

He smirks, coming closer to me. "It's enough."

"Oh, no." I say, putting my hand on his chest to stop him from coming any closer. "We're not doing this right now."

"Doing what? Talking?" He chuckles.

"No. You know what I mean." I say as I walk over to the desk and grab my phone out of the charger.

"You're really tense, baby. Maybe you should de-stress before we leave." Luke smirks as he comes up behind me and snakes his hands around my waist.

"Luke." I whine.

"Moan it, don't whine it." He murmurs.

He moves my hair to one side and presses his lips to my neck, knowing that's my weakness.

"Five minutes." I give in.

I turn around and press my lips to his. Our lips move against one another, taking in each other's scents. One of his hands move to my face, cupping my cheek in his palm.

"As sexy as you look in this dress, take it off." Luke commands.

I turn around and he unzips my dress, slowly taking it off both my shoulders. Just as I go to turn around, my phone begins to ring. Of course. I don't think Luke and I can ever have an uninterrupted second to ourselves.

"Leave it." Luke groans.

I turn my head to check the caller ID and see that it's Calum calling.

"It's Calum, I should get it." I say, turning to answer the phone.

"Hello?" I answer, putting it on speaker.

"May, can you guys come now? Everyone's here already and i'm already so uncomfortable." Calum whines.

"Just get Ashton to come. We'll be there at eight." Luke says.

"Ashton won't be here until eight-thirty because he's got some family thing. Please guys?" Calum asks.

Luke rolls his eyes and I swat his arm. "We're leaving right now." I tell him.

I hang up the phone and put it into my purse. I slide my dress back up my shoulders and turn around.

"Zip me back up?"

Luke huffs as he zips it back up. I flip my hair to the back and check myself in the mirror one last time, fixing my lipstick.

"Luke wipe your lips." I tell him.

"Why?"

"Because it looks like you're wearing my lipstick." I laugh.

"Shit." He says as he wipes his lips.

We walk downstairs and put our shoes on.

"We're leaving, mum." Luke calls out.

"Bye, guys! Have fun!" She calls from her bedroom.

"She's probably on skype with her boyfriend." Luke rolls his eyes as we walk out the door.

"Have you talked to him? I mean, you're going to live with him in a few months, do you know anything about him?" I ask, trying not to sound too pushy.

"Yeah. I've spoken to him a few times when my mum's been on skype with him, but that's about it." He explains.

"Are you nervous to live with him since he's pretty much a stranger?"

He shrugs. "Not really. Kind of, I guess. He just better keep his promise and get me into Oxford."

I get into the passenger seat of Luke's car and he gets into the driver's.

"I'm gonna kick Calum's ass for ruining our moment." Luke huffs as he pulls out of the driveway.

"Sure you are, babe." I giggle as I put my hand on his.

We get to Calum's house ten minutes later and pull into his driveway.

"I can't believe you're meeting Calum's family even before you meet mine." Luke mumbles, but I can hear him seeing as he's sitting a foot away from me.

"Take me to meet them then." I say.

He whips his head to look at me. "Really?"

"Well, obviously not right now. But before we both move, i'd really like to meet your brothers." I smile.

He nods his head. "Okay."

I unbuckle my seatbelt and go to open the door, but Luke locks it as I open it. I turn to look at him and raise an eyebrow.

"Five minutes? The back seat's pretty roomy." Luke smirks as he wiggles his eyebrows up and down.

"Luke, i'm not going to walk into Calum's family event smelling like sex. Let's go inside." I say as I unlock the door and step out of the car.

We walk to the front door and knock. Calum opens it seconds later.

"Thank god you guys are here." He says, opening the door wider.

"Do you guys have a keg?" Luke asks as we step inside, taking off our shoes.

"Well seeing as the age range at this party is forty to ninety, no there's no keg." Calum chuckles.

"So there's no alcohol?" Luke asks.

"Well I mean, there's champagne in the kitchen but that's about it." Calum says.

"It'll do." Luke says.

"Who's this?" An older woman asks as she approaches us from behind Calum.

"Grandma, these are two of my best friends, Luke and May." Calum introduces us.

"Nice to meet you ma'am." Luke smiles politely.

I love seeing Luke act this way. He's always so respectful to older people.

"Well aren't you a cutie. But please, call me Betty." Calum's grandmother says to Luke.

"And you're gorgeous, dear." His grandma smiles sweetly at me.

"Thank you so much." I smile at her.

"You two make a lovely couple."

"Thank you." Luke and I say at the same time.

I really love when people we don't know acknowledge us as a couple. I can't explain it, in a way it just makes me feel closer to Luke.

"Well I better get back to Alfred. You kids enjoy the party." Betty says as she walks off.

"Is Alfred your grandpa?" I ask Calum.

He shakes his head. "No, it's her boyfriend. I swear she's got a new one every month, I can't even keep up." He cringes.

I laugh. "At least she's happy."

"Want me to introduce you guys to some people?" He asks.

"Sure!" I smile.

"You guys go, I need to use the bathroom." Luke says.

I nod my head. "Alright well, come and find us when you're done."

He nods as he walks off to use the bathroom. Calum brings me to his parents first. I've met Calum's mother many times, but every time I come over his father is always at work.

"Mum, you already know May but Dad, this is May." Calum introduces me.

"Nice to meet you, i'm David." He says as he shakes my hand.

"Nice to meet you too. Happy anniversary to you both." I smile.

"Thank you, May. Is Luke here?" Joy asks.

"Yeah, he's just using the bathroom." I tell her.

We talk for a few minutes before they excuse themselves to speak with more guests.

"Yo Cal!" I hear a deep, loud voice from behind us.

I turn around and see a boy around our age coming up to us.

"Will! What's up man!" Calum says as he hugs the boy, Will I presume.

"Fuck, how long has it been?" The boy says.

"I don't man, i'd say about two years!" Calum says.

"That long, eh? Wow, still no facial hair though." He teases Calum.

"Yeah, yeah." Calum rolls his eyes.

The boys eyes make there way to me.

"And who is this?" He asks.

"Oh, this is my friend May. May, this is Will. We used to play on the same soccer team back in middle school." Calum says.

"Nice to meet you." I smile.

"Yeah, nice to meet you too." He smiles.

"Calum, come say hello to Aunt Ruth!" Joy calls from the kitchen.

"Alright well you guys mingle. I'll be back." Calum says.

"If you see Luke would you tell him to come back over here?" I laugh.

"Will do." He says as he walks off.

I smile awkwardly at Will. I hate that Calum left me alone with someone I don't know. I'm so awkward when i'm meeting people for the first time.

"So you and Calum have know each other for a long time I guess?" I ask him.

"Yeah, since grade seven. I moved though in grade eight, so Calum and I rarely get the chance to hang out now." He says.

I instantly think to how I will be moving away. Is that how it's going to be once I move? Will I barely ever see Calum and Ashton? Who am I kidding, i'll barely ever see any of them, including Luke.

"Well it's nice that you guys kept in contact all these years." I tell him, not really knowing what else to say.

"So you and him. Are you like, you know.." He begins.

"No, no! We're just friends." I chuckle.

"So a beautiful girl like you is single? What's wrong with the guys around here?" He smirks, moving slightly closer to me.

"My boyfriend's actually around here somewhere." I say.

I want to set him straight before he gets any ideas. I'm not single and I want that clear. Plus, for his sake I don't want him to make a move on me, especially when Luke is less than one hundred feet from us.

"Oh, you have a boyfriend?" He asks.

"Yeah, Luke." I say.

"Hemmings?" He asks.

I nod my head. "Yeah, do you know him?"

"Yeah! I've met him a few times when I came to Sydney to hang out with Calum. He's a cool guy." He says.

"Yeah, he is."

"I'm really sorry about this. Do you think you could uh, you know, not tell him I practically hit on his girlfriend?" He chuckles uncomfortably.

"Sure." I chuckle too.

Will is a nice guy. I'm glad he didn't push it any further once I said I had a boyfriend. Unlike some guys, Jace for example.

"Speaking of Luke though, I should probably go find him. I'm sure i'll see you again later though."

"Yeah, for sure." He smiles.

I give a small wave as I walk off, looking for Luke. After several minutes of searching through the crowd of people, I see him sitting with Ashton at a table.

"Where were you?" I ask.

"Here." Luke says, motioning to the table.

"Hey, Ash." I smile at him.

"Hey." He smiles back.

I turn my attention back to Luke. "Is everything okay?"

"Hmm? Yeah, it's fine." He says, somewhat rudely.

I raise an eyebrow at Luke. What's his problem?

Ashton stands up and straightens out his shirt. "I'm uh, gonna go some place that's well, not here." He says bluntly as he walks away.

I sit down where Ashton was sitting. "What's your problem?" I ask Luke.

"Nothing, May. I just really don't want to be here." He groans.

"You told me you would make an effort though." I say.

"I'd just much rather be at home, watching movies in bed with you." He says.

"You make us sound so boring." I giggle, resting my head on Luke's shoulder for a few seconds before lifting my head back up to look at him.

"I'm never bored when i'm with you." Luke says, a small smile playing on his face.

I'm about to speak when Luke does first.

"Except for right now. Right now i'm bored as hell."

I move my chair as close as possible beside Luke and bring my face fairly close to his.

"I'll make a deal with you. Act like you're having a good time here, and i'll make sure you have an even better time tonight." I say quietly, an innocent look on my face.

"Are you trying to give me a boner around all of Calum's family?" Luke says a bit too loudly.

"Shh!" I shush him, pushing his shoulder lightly as I look around to make sure no one heard him.

He chuckles, causing me too giggle too.

"I guess I can fake having a good time." Luke says dramatically.

"That's all i'm asking."

The rest of the night is basically spent at the exact table we are at. Calum, Ashton and Will join us afterwards. The night isn't as bad as I expected it to be with Luke's attitude and all. He really did a great job of pretending to have a good time.

"You really seemed like you were having a good time." I say to him once we're home.

"Yeah well, I had something to motivate me." Luke smirks as he shuts his bedroom door behind us.

"Before anything, I need to tell you something." I say.

I want to tell him about Will earlier tonight. I'm not trying to start a fight and it's not really a big deal but, Luke and I promised each other we would tell each other everything from now on and I don't plan on breaking that promise. I know I told Will I wouldn't mention it, but I barely know the guy.

"What?" He asks.

"Well earlier tonight Will tried to hit on me. But that was before he knew we were together and I told him straight away. He said he was sorry and he didn't push it any further. It's not a big deal I just wanted to tell you because we promised to tell each other everything." I say, hoping he doesn't get upset. Not that there's anything to really be upset over, but still.

"He didn't do anything once you told him?" Luke asks.

I shake my head. "No, he even said you were a really cool guy. I promise he didn't try anything." I say.

"Okay. Thanks for telling me." Luke says.

"Of course."

He walks closer to me and unzips the back of my dress, not taking his eyes off of mine once.

"Now plan on following through on our deal?" Luke smirks.

"Of course I do." I smirk as I lay back on his bed, Luke following suit.

As I look up at the boy directly in front of me, I realize there will never be anyone in the world that I will ever love more than I love him. And if Luke and I don't end up together for some reason, I don't think I will ever feel this type of love again.
