Luke's POV

The atmosphere at the club was great, everyone appeared to be drunk enough so they were having fun but not too drunk where they'd be causing a problem. It was a nice and fun atmosphere, perfect for an 18th birthday is what Ashton had told me.

Malum were dancing next to me as we stood by the bar, they were kind of giggling in between the kisses they shared and it was plenty obvious that they were tipsy; I wasn't complaining though because it meant I could focus on Ashton and they could focus on each other.

Turning to Ashton, he was already positioned so he was looking at me and holding a grin back by biting his lip.

"What?" I laughed.

"You look hot." He commented before looking me up and down.

"I literally look the same as before."

"No, now your hair is kind of falling down and the alcohol in me is compelling me to find you wearing a red flannel with a black t-shirt even more attractive. So, you look hot." Ashton smirked and before I could even reply, he brought his lips down onto mine.

"You're not too bad yourself." I said with a smile when he pulled away, he smiled back before kissing me again. This time, the kiss was deeper and a lot needier on Ashton's part.

"Ok, we should probably have some more fun here and then we can go back to the hotel." Ashton smirked and I obviously knew what he meant.

Nodding my head, Ashton ordered some more drinks which he practically made me down before he dragged me into the crowd to dance. Well, more swaying to the music and kissing in the process but the general concept applies.

"I love you." He breathed against my lips.

"I love you too." I smiled and we kissed for the 3rd time in less than 3 minutes.

"Why are you so attractive?" Ashton almost whined as he pulled me closer to him, a hand on my neck and the other on my back.

"Alcohol takes effect on you quicker than I thought." I laughed.

Ashton nodded but then pulled back from me slightly, "Let's find those 2 and get smashed." He laughed and tugged me towards the bar once again.

He was acting a little spontaneous in his decisions but I really didn't mind. I was enjoying having some fun with a tipsy Ashton.

After some more alcohol and dancing, I grew tired and needed the toilet. We all wanted to leave and get back to the hotel since we'd been there for hours, Malum were now pretty much out of it, they wouldn't stay awake for much longer after we'd gotten back to the hotel.

"Ash!" I shouted over the music, to gain the attention of my intoxicated boyfriend. "I'm gonna head to the toilet before we leave, don't think I can wait." I informed him and I waited for him to nod before I turned around to try and walk to the toilets.

However, as I turned and started to walk, a hand gripped mine and I turned to see Ashton.

"I'm coming with you." He said. "Don't know what kind of freaks hang about the toilets." Ashton smiled after saying that, I guess knowing he was just joking but was just coming as a precaution.

Walking into the toilets, I immediately went to do my business and Ashton kind of laughed at the desperateness I had to go but quickly stopped laughing when we noticed the man in the corner. He was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, which was strange in itself, and he was kind of shielding his face.

The man was stood close to the urinals and that was a little intimidating and I guess Ashton noticed that I was a little worried because he moved behind me and pushed me towards the cubicles rather than the urinal. "Go pee in there." He whispered to me and I nodded before entering and locking the cubicle.

After peeing, I left the cubicle and moved to wash my hands and I tried not looking worried as I walked over in the direction of the suspicious looking man to retrieve paper towels he happened to be stood next to. The man appeared to smirk as I approached and I really didn't know what to think about it so I did my best to ignore it.

Considering I couldn't even see where he was looking he had successfully made me feel creeped out since I'd walked into the toilets. That's pretty impressive.

Once I'd dried my hands, I took one of Ashton's and quickly dragged him out of the toilets.

"Well, he was a bit creepy." Ashton said as we pushed our way out of the club. I just nodded my head and continued to shove through the crowd of people to get to the exit, my mood seemed to have changed quite a bit since going in the toilet, I didn't feel all that happy and I felt my paranoia slowly increasing.

"Hey, are you alright?" Ashton asked when we got outside.

"Yeah, he just kind of weirded me out." I admitted and Ashton nodded, obviously understanding.

"Come on, Malum are waiting in that taxi." Ashton said and took my hand to take me to the taxi. We slid in and were greeted by a giggling Michael and Calum.

Ashton told the taxi driver the hotel address and then we were off, Malum continued to giggle all the way there whilst Ashton seemed to be content with staring at me with a goofy smile on his face.

"Why are you staring at me?" I asked, laughing slightly.

"I love you." Was his response and I smiled.

"I love you too." I replied before he leaned in to kiss me.

"Happy birthday, baby." He said before going in for another kiss which I honestly could not help but smile into.
