A Girls Guide to Dating Luke Hemmings

Australia

Luke Hemmings sat in a Starbucks just outside of the Sydney Airport. A black travel bag hung from the back of his chair and his iPhone was placed comfortably in his hands as he leaned forward on the table.

Luke had packed up everything in his hotel room and said goodbye to Michael early this morning. He was planning on spending the rest of his break with his family, just like old times.

A girl making a rather loud phone call near the register caught his attention. He looked up slightly to the brown haired woman on the phone in line for coffee.

"My phones dying, I have no money, and no clothes!" She yelled.

There was a pause in her anger as Luke imagined whoever was on the other line was replying.

"Yes I'm wearing clothes, but I'm sweating because apparently it's summer here!" She responded "I-I just can't believe you would do this to me Monique, I thought we were friends! How on earth am I going to afford to get back to New York?"

Luke lifted his head, interested in her conversation.

"Call my mom and t–" she took her phone down from her ear and grunted with anger then rubbed her eyes with exhaustion.

Luke quickly looked away, noticing she was walking out of line to the table next to his.

The brown haired girl plopped down in her seat with a thud and rested her head in her hands.

He looked over, she was wearing sweatpants, Uggs, and an NYU t-shirt. The only luggage she was carrying was one of those navy blue purses with the brown handle pretty much every girl had these days and a puffy winter coat.

"Yes, I'm wearing sweatpants in ninety degree weather, get over it." She said sharply, obviously noticing Luke was staring.

He looked straight ahead then thought of a clever reply "at least you got the Uggs right"

She looked up to him with a confused expression.

Luke turned his head "made in Australia" he replied.

"Ah" she nodded "funny"

He gestured to her shirt "NYU?"

Hannah looked down, forgetting what she was wearing "oh, yeah, it's my third year there"

"Cool" He smiled softly "what brings you down under?"

Hannah laughed "my insane roommate"

"Ooo drama, do tell"

She sat up "Are all Australians nice to strangers?"

He patted the empty table space in front of him and smiled "only when the stranger is pretty"

"Alright then" Hannah picked up her purse and hobbled over to the empty seat in front of her new Australian friend.

"I'm Luke Hemmings by the way" he said.

"Hannah Grace" she stuck her hand across the table to shake his.

He laughed and did the same.

"What's funny? Is handshaking not a thing over here?"

"No, no, it's just..that's not usually the response I get"

Hannah raised an eyebrow confused. Then it hit her, his crystal blue eyes, the brownish excuse for blonde wavy hair, a light sprinkling of facial hair around his chin and cheeks, he was the guy on Monique's poster, lock screen, and notebook. He was Luke Hemmings from 5 Seconds Of Summer.
