"How about we go to the beach whilst we're here?"
"We should explore the city more as well" Calum said.
"I saw a sign for a music event" I told them.
"What kind of music?" Luke asked.
"Pop, rock, punk. Everything I think"
"We should go. Melbourne's always had a good music scene" Ash said.
"I'll look it up later. I'm pretty sure it's tomorrow night" We'd just arrived in Melbourne and decided we would stay in here today and tomorrow then head on to Adelaide early the morning after.
"So let's go to our hotel, get cleaned up, then go to the beach and look around the city a bit more" Michael suggested. We all nodded and got back into the two cars. Luke and I got into the one we still occupied alone and followed the other.
"Do you think we'll have to share a bed again?" Luke asked. "Because I won't complain this time"
"And why's that?"
"Because you're not as bad as I thought"
"Awh, thanks, Hemmings" I nudged his arm.
"Stop, I'm driving"
"But seriously, Mia said I'm sharing with her. You're with Cal and Mike and Ash are together I think"
"Sounds good to me"
"To be honest, I just want some space alone"
"Me too. You are all great but it gets a little too much sometimes"
"You get a little too much sometimes"
"Hey!"
"Sorry, still getting used to be whole not insulting you thing"
"It's fine" I said as we pulled into the hotel car park.

"Thank you Mia's dad for letting us stay in a four star hotel" Michael said as we walked towards our rooms.
"Meet out here in thirty minutes or we'll kick your doors down" Mia said and all the guys nodded before we disappeared into our rooms. "So, how are things with Luke going?"
"Alright. Why'd you ask?"
"You guys don't seem to argue half as much anymore"

"We're trying to get along"
"Maybe leaving you guys in a car by yourself isn't such a bad idea"
"Shut up" I said as I nudged her.
"I think he secretly likes you"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. He likes you"
"Mia, you need to calm your ass down" She rolled her eyes.
"Are you putting your bikini on under your clothes?" She changed the subject. I nodded and pulled out my clothes from my small duffel bag before starting to change. After 15 minutes or so we were both ready. We grabbed our bags and went outside into the hallway to see all the guys waiting for us.
"Let's go" Calum said, throwing his arm around Mia's shoulders.
"It's really pretty here" I said as we were eating lunch in a park near the beach we were going to next. We'd been walking around the city for the last hour and a half.
"Are we having a fire on the beach?"
"I doubt it" Michael replied to Cal.
"We should" Ashton said and Mia nodded in agreement.
"How are we going to do it?"
"She's right, it's kind of unpractical" Luke agreed with me.
"You guys agree on something? That's a first" Ashton commented.
"Don't get too used to it" I told him.
"Hey! I thought we were getting along?"
"We are but there's still a chance that you might annoy me" He rolled his eyes but shrugged and carried on eating.
"You coming in?" I opened my eyes and sat up from my beach towel to see Luke.
"What?"
"No one else wants to come in the water. Wanna join me?"
"Can't be alone?"
"Come on" I nodded and stood up, putting my sunglasses in my bag. I adjusted my bikini before walking next to him down to the shore.
"God, it's fucking cold" I swore as I stepped into the sea.
"Do I have to pull you in?" He asked and moved closer towards me.

"No. Stop. Don't do it, Luke. I will hit you" I said as he picked me up bridal style and carried me further into the water so that it was around his waist. "I hate you right now" I said as he started to put me down.
"Really?" He asked, smirking.
"I'm shorter than you, do not put me down"
"You're like half a foot shorter than me not half my height" He said as he put me down making me squirm at the coldness.
"More like a whole foot. You're six four, I'm five five"
"Awh, little Maddie"
"Shut up" I pushed him away from me.
"You look good in that bikini by the way"
"Thanks"
"I mean really good" He snapped the string of the side of my bikini bottom against my skin.
"Didn't you say I'd put on some weight the other day?"
"I was joking. You look better than ever"
"I know right" I joked making him roll his eyes.
"I also told you that your boobs looked great the other morning"
"Just what every girl wants to hear"
"I know right" He mocked me.
"For some reason those stupid comments don't annoy me anymore" He nodded in agreement.
"Mia looks good too though"
"That's your best friend's girlfriend"
"But that bikini makes her look so hot"
"Such a fuck boy going from one girl to the next in a matter of seconds"
"I am not a fuck boy"
"You are"
"I'm not"
"Prove it"
"How?"
"Get a girlfriend" I told him simply. "Do you even like a girl? Have you ever?"
"I like someone"
"Who? Is it Rachel? Kiera? Tina?"
"None of them"
"Then who?"
"You don't need to know"
"I want to know though"
"Eventually"
"Fine"
"Your natural hair looks really pretty"
"It's a mess"
"You're a mess"
"Again, just what a girl wants to hear"
"Looks like the others are packing up"
"We should get back I guess"
"I was enjoying our alone time"
"Me too"
"Want me to carry you again?"
"I'm fine with the temperature now though"
"Your back's hurting, I can tell" I shyly nodded and let him pick me up. This time he wrapped his arms around my body and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He moved his hands so they were holding my butt to stop him from dropping me. "You're really pretty"
"What's with all the compliments?"
"Just take them" He said.
"Thank you"
"Welcome" He said. Our eye line locked and he glanced down at my lips. "Can I, uh, I, um, kiss you?"
"The Luke Hemmings is nervous about a girl, who'd have thought?"
"Shut up"
"Anyway, yes"
"Really?" I nodded and he slowly leaned in and connected our lips. It was much slower and gentler than the kiss from the other night. After a few seconds we pulled away.
"What about the girl you like?"
"I'm sure she doesn't mind or know that I like her" He quickly pecked my lips again before putting me down. "Now my back hurts"
"Let's go" I said, pulling him out of the sea with me. We got back over to the others.
"We're about to leave" Mia told Luke and I. We nodded and started to get changed and packed up. I pulled my white dress over my body and rolled up my towel, packing it away with everything else.
"Uh, your dress has gone see-through but on the bright side you're winning the wet t-shirt contest"
"Oh" I said looking down at my dress.
"Here, borrow this" He passed me his grey hoodie. I took it from him and pulled it on.
"Thanks" He just shrugged and passed me my bag as we walked towards the others who were waiting in the car park.
"Is that Luke's hoodie?" Mia asked as we got into one of the cars along with Calum. The other three had gotten in the other car.
"Yeah, he's just letting me borrow it because my dress is wet and see-through"
"Told you he likes you"
"He doesn't like me"
"Believe what you want"
