It's bee nearly two weeks since Luke left and Lexie was feeling his absence everyday. Sure, the texting, facetime, skype, those never stopped, but she missed him being around her, and his touch, his hugs and even his teasing. She woke up on her birthday with her mother standing over her which was weird since her mother never ever was home when Lexie woke up, she'd always be at the hospital still working "Good morning and happy birthday baby girl!" Her mother greeted her and Lexie sat up on the bed with a lazy smile on her face, her phone buzzed beside her as she spoke to her mom "Good morning, thank you. How come you're home?" She asked softly as she picked her phone up and read Luke's message.
She was a bit bummed that he wouldn't be able to talk to her, but she knew he had a big day, he'd been telling her all about it all week long now. But what really bummed her was that he didn't even tell her happy birthday. But she tried her best to stay positive and sent him a text back Good morning! Have fun with your big day okay? I'll answer whenever you call x.
When Lexie looked up, she noticed her mother zipping up a suitcase and she rose an eyebrow "What are you doing?" She asked curiously and her mother looked up with a smile "We're traveling! It's a surprise babygirl, just get dressed we need to go to the airport to catch our flight!" Her mother's words surprised her and she grinned "Really?! I really wish Luke could travel with us though" She sighed and got out of bed, her mother biting the inside of her cheek before walking out of her daughter's room "Well babygirl, I guess it's just you and me and Lilly this time." She said as she walked out, referring to Lexie's sister.
It was four hours later when Lexie's plane landed and she tried to ask her mother more about where they were, what were they going to do but her mother waited until they were in the hotel's lobby before speaking up "Babygirl, this is your room. Go." She handed her a card as the key and Lexie frowned "We're not sharing?" Her mother shook her head and pushed her daughter "Go! I'll meet you here in ten minutes, put your suitcase away and change your clothes."
Lexie made her way up to her room with a frown on her face. Se was so confused to what was going on but she did as her mother told her. When she got into the room, she noticed the other suitcase on the floor. For a moment she thought they booked her the wrong room, but when she stepped into the bedroom and the scent of cologne hit her, she had the biggest grin ever.
She'd recognize Luke's cologne anywhere, and because of that, she squealed and put her suitcase aside, quickly picking out a pair of ripped faded blue shorts, Luke's black nirvana t-shirt which she had stolen a while back and her matching black converse. She checked her light make up which consisted of a black eyeliner with a small tail, and her nude lipstick before making her way downstairs quickly, meeting her mother who laughed when she saw Lexie's grin "How did you know?" She asked and Lexie chuckled "I'd recognize Luke's cologne anywhere!"
Her mother than, explained everything, that it was all Luke's idea and gift, which only warmed Lexie's heart. And to think he forgot to tell her happy birthday over the phone. When they got to the arena, it was already packed outside, girls surrounded the place, waiting outside until the gates were open and Lexie had to shove her way through, but she didn't mind, she just wanted to see Luke already. She heard some girls yell her name Shit, maybe i should've waited for security. Just then, two huge guys were around her, like they appeared out of nowhere. They guided her in through the backdoor and into the backstage. Lexie kept looking around for any sign of her blond best friend and finally saw him with the guys having a photoshoot.
But that didn't stop her.
She squealed and ran, Ashton was the first to turn and see her, and then Calum. Both nudged Luke who turned just in time as Lexie threw her hands around his neck and legs around his waisit, nuzzling her face in the crook of his neck. His words sent chills down her body as she hugged him tightly and he kissed her cheek "I missed you! I missed you so so much!" She mumbled against his neck, not wanting to let go just yet. She pulled away slightly, staying in his hold, and she kissed his cheek hard "I love you! I love you so damn much!" She squealed "Thank you! Thank you!" She rambled like an idiot, a little bit too excited. She could hear the clicks of cameras, and the chuckles from the guys but she didn't care for now. She was happy she was with Luke on her birthday.
