Unexpected

Chapter 7

Finally, it’s friday, weekend, partying, the club opening and all that to celebrate with her new boyfriend. Could this weekend get any better? Sasha asked herself as she looked at herself in the mirror.

”So the car will be here at seven to pick you guys up.” Her mother said during breakfast.

”I still can’t believe that the opening Mel and I’ve been waiting for is your opening Paul.” Sasha said with a smile to her soon to be step-father.

”Well that’s faith for you.” He said before adding, ”Laura and I’ll see you guys there since we’re setting everything up and all that stuff.”

”We know dad, now let’s get moving Harris” Luke said as he took his backpack from the floor.

”I told you not to call me that.” She said to Luke. ”Bye, see you tonight.” She told their parents as she picked up her handbag from the kitchen counter.

”Sash, we have to get going if we wanna get ready in time!” Mel was yelling at her from a few feet away.

”Chill Mel, I have to put away my books first. And don’t forget to breath hun.” Sasha told her best friend as she put her books in her locker extra slowly.

”Very funny, now please hurry.” She pleaded.

”I’m done.” She said as she closed the locker and started moving outside.

”So are you thinking straight or curly tonight? I need to plan my time.”

”I was thinking about curling it a little and I can do that myself so you don’t have to worry about my hair.” She laughed at her best friends hysteria.

”Fine, then you can make sure that mine is straight in the back!” Mel said with a serious tone of voice.

”You’re going straight? Bold.” Sasha stated, since Melody rarely straightened her hair.

”I know it’s not my usual but I was thinking about trying something new tonight.” She explained.

”It will look amazing with that dress though. You’ll look hot.” Her friend showered her with confidence.

”I know, I’m so excited!!” She said with a huge smile on her face.

”Either you calm down or I ride home with Luke, cause you are a car crash waiting to happen right now.” She couldn’t help but laugh at it little.

”Sorry, it’s not everyday a new club opens and we both have boyfriends to bring to the opening.” Mel was getting worked up again.

”That is true.. Anyway get excited after you park your car in my driveway.” Sasha demanded.

”Your driveway huh? Feeling at home so soon?” Mel teased her.

”You’ve seen the house Mel, it’s kind of hard not to love it” She had a point Mel thought.

”True, come on let’s get out of here already.” She said as she drove away from the school parking lot.

When they stopped in the driveway it only took them seconds to be behind the closed doors of Sasha’s bedroom. They now had three hours before they were leaving. Melody was first in the shower since her hair takes forever to get dry and it would take at least 45 minutes to straighten it. When Sasha was done showering Melody was already in full motion to get her hair dry. Sasha put her hair up in a messy bun and started on her makeup in her wait for the hairdryer. She was in her underwear about to put out their outfits on the bed when the door swung open.

”Still don’t know how to knock Luke?!” Sasha screamed at the suddenly opened door.

”Oh, sorry I just.. actually I’m not so sorry anymore.” First now she realized that she was in her underwear.. only. Then it struck her.. another chance to play with him.

”What do you want Luke?” She turned so he would get a full view of her.

”Yeah Luke, what do you want?” She teased him as he couldn’t take his eyes of her best friend. ”Earth to Luke?”

”Oh, sorry. I just wanted to know if you had some hairspray I could borrow.” He turned to Mel so he could focus on his reason for entering her room to begin with.

”Sure, here you go.” She said as she got the hairspray and gave it to him. She was still in only her underwear so when she pressed her body to his and stood on her toes to get her lips near his ears. ”Feeling the heat yet?” She asked and kept her body close to his for a few seconds before she walked away into her closet to put on a rube. Luke was still standing there, kind of paralyzed. Making both her and Mel laugh a little. ”Anything else you needed?” She teased him as he tried to get his head straight.

”Huh? what?” He is going to take a cold shower after this.. she thought.

”I asked if there was anything else?” She said once again as she took a few steps closer to him again.

”Huh.. no.” He said and walked out. Sasha found that it was easy to read his mind, maybe not so weird since his face was like an open book.

”Wow Sash, I didn’t think you had it in you. He was fighting the urge to throw you down on the bed and do you right then with every inch of himself. Okay, maybe not every inch if you know what I mean.” She wiggled her eyebrows at her.

”I have that effect on people.” She said all serious and sexy before she bursted out in laugher. Damn it was so much fun messing with Luke like that. It was still hard not to act on the feelings that she felt when she felt his rock hard abs against her chest but she had some self-control and that was now all used up for the day.

”Come on girl you gotta get your hair ready now!” She said as she handed her the curling iron.

”Charlie is meeting us later but Liam is riding there with us and Luke right?” Sasha asked as she put on the right setting on the iron.

”Yes, he should be here any moment now actually.” She said as she put the finishing touches to her makeup.

After a while there was a knock on the door and Mel opened up.

”I was told that it might be safest to knock..” He looked between his girlfriend and Sasha searching for en explanation.

Mel laughed ”Yeah.. Sasha played a little with the poor guy.” Liam looked at her questioning. ”Let’s just say he probably needed a cold shower.” She continued.

”Nice work Sasha.” He said and offered her a high five that she gladly took.

”Well it’s not that hard when he walks in on you in your underwear so..” She simply said like it was nothing and she kept curling her hair.

”And now we’re gonna get changed so why don’t you go talk to your buddy across the hall and I’ll see you later.” She said as she gave him a quick kiss before pushing him out the door and closing it. ”To the dresses!” She said and walked over to the bed to get dressed.

”Dude, I heard that Sasha is giving you a hard time..” He said walking into Luke’s room. ”Literately.” he added once he realized his choice of word.

”Oh you have no idea what she’s doing to me man. I mean once, fine I can take that but it happened twice now and it’s just frustrating to have her so close and..” He bit his lip at the thought her body pressed against his. ”and..”

”I get it.. but you don’t. This isn’t just s****l frustration because then you would have just done something about it right then and there.. You like her man, no doubt about it.” Liam was pointing out the obvious that he was doing his best to ignore.

”No I don’t and don’t ever put it like that again, please.” Was Liam right for once? No, shake it off Luke. Like she always says, you are soon siblings you can’t have feelings for her.. right? He questioned himself for a few minutes while they waited for the girls to be done.

When the girls walked out Luke had a hard time breathing, if the feelings he was having for her was real they just got stronger at that precise moment. Cause god she look breathtaking right now. He collected himself and put on the confident he had on otherwise.

”Looking gorgeous as always I see.” He said as he eyed her from top to bottom a few times.

”Nothing else is good enough.” She said with a smile as she started to make her way down stairs.

Melody and Liam were still standing in the hallway between the doors, not having moved an inch since they got into each others arms.

”Guys, the car is here so stop making out for five minutes.” Luke yelled back at them before helping Sasha down the stairs.

In a couple minutes they were all in the limo on their way to the club. No one of them had expected a limo but then again they all needed to fit in here when they were going home which would add Paul and Laura. The ride over there was half awkward since Luke kept looking at Sasha and she could feel him undressing her with his mind. Mel and Liam wasn’t much help since they were lost in their own love bubble.

”We’re here.” Luke said loudly to catch the attention of their best friends. It may have taken a few seconds to get to them but they finally reacted and got out of the car.

They were all attacked by flashes and the screaming of questions from all kind of directions once they were outside. Sasha heard questions about her and Mel, who they were, who they ever wearing and such. She could feel a blush on her cheeks when she heard the question if she and Luke were dating multiple times. Luke and Liam just took charge and led the girl inside.

”Sorry about that, they always get like that. The downside to being the son of a rockstar.” Luke sounded sincere as he looked into her eyes.

”Don’t worry about it, I can handle it.” She said with a smile before they passed the wardrobe and entered the club. It looked amazing, Paul had done a great job with it.

”There you guys are!! Finally, we were getting worried.” Laura said as she walked up to them and gave them all a hug, it was obvious that she had had a few drinks.

”Well we’re here now. Where’s pops?” He asked just spotted him over by the stage. ”I found him, be right back.” He said and walked over to his father. ”Hi pops.” He said and gave him a hug.

”Hi son, everything is ready whenever you are.” He said and gestured to the hooked up equipment.

”Great, just give me a few minutes to warm up first” He said and smiled.

”Of course, I’ll just go get a drink and then we can start things off.” His father said as he gave him a light hug before walking towards the bar but stopped after a few feet.

”Sounds great.” He said as he walked back stage and Paul walked over to the rest at the bar.

”Hey you guys. So what do you think? Cool enough?” He asked the kids.

”It’s amazing Paul.” Mel said honestly.

”Told you honey.” Laura said as she kissed his cheek. Sasha hadn’t really seen them showing affection in front of her before and she couldn’t help but think how sweet they looked together.

”Yeah, it’s truly amazing.” She said as she so badly wanted to order a Gin and Tonic but settled for a club soda. ”A club soda please.” She told the girl behind the bar.

”Make that two Grace.” He told the bartender. ”I think that Luke might need it before he goes on.” He said before he took the glass from the counter and walked back stage it.

”Wait, Luke’s singing tonight?” Sasha asked, unaware of the information.

”Even I knew that Sash.” Mel giggled a little.

Sasha was about to respond when she felt a pair of comfortable arms around her waist and knew in a second that they belonged to Charlie so she turned around and placed her hands around his neck.

”Hi” she said quietly, as if it was for his ears only.

”Hey gorgeous” He said as he leaned in and gave her a sweet lingering kiss.

”Aww, you guys are so cute!!” at that comment Sasha pulled away a little bit and turned to her friend.

”I know.” She said as she leaned to his side and put her arm around his middle.

There was a tapping noise in the speakers as the music toned down and Paul’s voice rang around the club. ”Thank you guys so much for coming out here tonight and celebrating with me and my family.” He said and let the applause come. ”And to start our night of is this new, amazing artist and I’m not saying that to be biased. Luke Wilson!!” He said and out comes Luke and all his hotness.

”Thanks pops, so I got some music for you guys that I hope you like.” He said as the music started to play. His music was a mix between pop and rock and it was perfect for this type of place. You could see all of the people around the club swaying along to the music. Luke looked over at the others a few times during the song and he kept locking eyes with Sasha, he just couldn’t help it.

He sang a few more songs before he took a break and walk down to the other.

”So what did you think?” Luke asked the group.

”You were amazing!” His father said and gave his son a hug.

”You really were.” Laura said, she meant it with all her heart and he could tell.

”Thanks Laura.” He said and pulled her in for a quick hug before turning to his friends. ”So??” He wanted their approval more that anyone else’s.

”You were great man.” Liam said and pulled him in for a bro hug.

”You’re not that bad.” Sasha said while trying to hide a smile. ”Kidding you were perfect up there.” She said and gave him a hug, knowing that she had to pull away otherwise she would have stayed there all night, in the warmth of his embrace.

”That means a lot.” Luke said to her before letting her go can into Charlie’s arms.

After dancing a while they all sat down to talk a bit. Sasha always love to dance but things were awkward when she was dancing with Charlie since she and Luke kept stealing glances from each other. It felt like she was cheating on him even though she wasn’t. After a few minutes Luke asked if he could talk to her for a minute and they walked back stage where they didn’t have to yell to hear each other.

”What did you want?” She was feeling awkward being alone with him right now, cause all she wanted to do was kiss him.

”Well I might have over heard you sing some songs and kind of told our parents and we thought that you should play some of them.” He waited for a reaction and when he didn’t get one he added, ”Tonight, or right now to be more exact.”

”WHAT??? Are you insane Luke, there’s a reason I don’t sing in front of people you know!” She was freaking out and he could tell so he took a firm grip on her arms to keep her still.

”Breath Sasha, you can do this” He said trying to make eye contact and once he found it he continued. ”And I’ve heard you sing and you are talented, trust me” He said and she found herself drowning in his eyes.

”I don’t know Luke.” She looked down at her feet, feeling her insecurities float to the surface.

”I can do it with you if you don’t wanna do it alone.” He kept one hand on her but instead of a grip he was just moving it up and down her arm to calm her down.

She didn’t know what to say ”I…”
