Missed Opportunity

Chapter 12

Adriana's pov

"I could get used to this." I commented. We were currently walking hand in hand through the fair with me clutching a ginormous white teddy bear Luke won for me with my free hand and Luke glancing from me to the different games and rides all around us with an eager smile on his face.

"Anything for my love." Luke smoothly said. His eyes brightened at the sight in front of him and looked back at me as if for approval and pointed at it. I chuckled and nodded and he happily led me over to the Ferris wheel.

"This is going to be so fun!" Luke exclaimed excitedly glancing at the ride one last time before bringing his attention back to me. I smiled widely up at him before leaning my head up against his shoulder. "I love you so much." He randomly said. I looked up at him and smiled even more, if that was even possible; I haven't stopped smiling since I've been with Luke.

"I love you even more." I said. He pouted his lip a little, which looked absolutely adorable, and frowned slightly.

"I don't think so," he said, "because I'm pretty sure I love you the most." I made a face and hit Luke's shoulder lightly.

"Ew, we're so one of those gross couples." I said looking around at the people giving us disgusted looks or scoffing at us. Luke looked at them for a second before winking at me and scooping me in his arms dipping me and kissing me passionately causing a scene, but not caring the slightest bit.Once he brought me back to my feet I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks and turned my head away before Luke could notice even though he probably undoubtedly did anyway. When it was our turn we both slid into the seat and the worker brought the bar down over us and before I knew it the ride had started and we were slowly ascending into the sky. As we got higher and higher I slowly began to remember I had an extreme fear of heights. Luke, noticing my uneasiness wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer.

"Hey, it's okay," He cooed, "why didn't you tell me you were afraid of heights?"

"You didn't ask?" I questioned, a small smile forming onto my face. He chuckled and I leaned my head up against the crook of his neck suddenly not feeling as frightened as I did a moment ago.

"I love you so much Luke Hemmings." I randomly blurted out. He looked down at me and smirked.

"Oh, don't even get me started on this Adriana, don't even get me started," he said exasperatedly, "but, I love you so much as well, love."

Luke's pov

After the fair, I took Adriana back to her hotel room. We stopped in front of her room's door and looked at each other in a slightly awkward silence.

"What are we going to do for our living situation after were married?" Adriana blurted out. I thought about it, something I hadn't done until now, and shrugged.

"We'll move in together, I'd hope." I said nervously chuckling.

"Yeah, I think I'd like that." She said her mind visibly wandering off.

"I'll come back first thing in the morning, got to go check in with the boys and all, you know?" I said casually.

"Yeah, no problem. I guess I'll see you then." She said quietly. I took a few steps toward her and hooked my finger under her chin tilting her face up and slowly bringing my lips to hers. When I pulled away I was left a little breathless and had to steady my mind and my feet that were wobbling slightly. Adriana giggled at me and I smiled and scratched the back of my neck nervously as she waved at me slowly closing the door. I collected myself well enough to be able to wave back before the door was completely closed and I was left alone. I stood there left in awe for a few more seconds before I got my feet working and made my way down to the mine and the boys' room. When I slowly cracked the door in trying to sneak into the room without waking any of the boys up considering it was about 2 AM I realized it was pointless when I saw all three of them sitting up, Michael and Calum playing Fifa and Ashton scrolling through his phone. I sighed and shut the door behind me.

"Oh, look who's home!" Ashton exclaimed looking up from his phone. Calum averted his attention away from the game to glance at me, apparently enabling Michael to score a goal because he screamed out in victory and Calum turned back to the TV and cussed profusely. I chuckled to myself and took a seat next to Ashton.

"Asshole." Calum mumbled to Michael who shoved him nearly knocking the controller out of his hand.

"So, when's the wedding?" Ashton casually questioned. I thought back to the date it was supposed to be and I think it was this Saturday.

"What is today?" I asked.

"Thursday." Ashton replied checking his phone to confirm.

"Oh," I said quietly, "In about 2 day?" I said in more a questioning tone than anything.

"Two days?" Michael yelled still keeping his attention on his game.

"That's fucking close dude," Calum commented, "are you ready for it?"

"I mean, I think I am." I said not as confidently as I'd like. Everyone shrugged it off and went back to what they were doing before I came in the door.

"Have you guys been doing this all night, you do know it's like 2 AM, right?" I asked looking at all of them.

"Yeah, so?" Michael asked. I shrugged and got up.

"I'm going to bed." I stated. They all said half-hearted good nights and I went off to my bed to get some much needed sleep. I flopped down onto my bed and slipped under the covers, but even though I was physically tired I couldn't get myself to fall asleep right away. My mind was going a mile a minute and I had too many thoughts to think about to just push them all to the side and deal with them in the morning. I couldn't actually believe I was going to be getting married in 2 days. Two days? Like holy shit that's so soon, and to the girl of my dreams. I never thought this day would come and now that it's just around the corner I was full of excitement and fear all mixed into one and I couldn't calm down all these emotions. Somehow I got to sleep that night with the girl I was soon going to marry the last thing on my mind before I drifted into unconsciousness.
