03. Are you serious?

- Shelby's P.O.V - 

Today was another stressful day at work in the boutique. I had 11 long hours of putting up with snobby women trying to find a perfect dress for there perfect day. I had to put up with not so wealthy women trying to get a designer dress for well under the asking price and had to deal with overly confident women who tried to fit into dresses that were certainly not there size. I also had to train some new staff today and interview a bunch of people for the new marketing manager. Oh the joy of running my own business. I'm more of one of those hands on kinda bosses i hate leaving someone in charge on my business i mean its my business so i have to be there 24/7 making sure its up to my standards.

Yeah a very stressful day and to top it all off there was a road accident on the way home. Meaning i had to take the long route home in rush hour traffic. It took me 2 and a half hours... 2 and a half hours!! I've been working since 6am and now i've finally reached home at ... seven thirty. Oh and yeah god must hate me today because someone decided to park in my parking spot a big black Addison lee cab parked in my damn spot. Why didn't that fat ugly driver just fucking use the taxi parking. 

I groaned and parked on the other side of the car park. Getting out and grabbing my bag and making my way across the cold air making goosebumps raise up on my body. I tugged my coat tighter to me and made my way into the revolving doors and through reception. The cranky old reseptionist cursing at me because my shoes were apparently making too much noise. I gave her the finger and she gasped as the elevator door closed. I am so not putting up with any shit tonight. Getting out the elevator and making my way towards the front door of my apartment. I opened the door and slipped off my shoes , hanging my coat up and dropping my bag.

''Soph is that you?'' Grace called

''Yeah...'' i called back

''Come in here for a minute.''

''I'll come once i've had a bath.''

''No now please.''

''GRACE I'VE HAD THE WORST DAY TODAY DON'T PUSH MY FUCKING BUTTONS.'' I snapped. Grace walked out of the living room chuckling and shaking her head at me , i let out a deep sigh and ran my hands through my hair.

''What happened?''

''Snobby women trying to get dresses for under the asking price while trying to fit into dresses that were 2 sizes too small..'' i groaned

''Typical day then.'' she said , 

''Yup... all i want to do now is go have a bat-... actually no. I want to go put my feet up in the lounge and watch some Chelsea lately show... yeah that sounds good.'' i said turning around and walking into the lounge.

''Wait Sophi-.'' Grace tried to say something but i ignored it and walked into the living room. Four heads snapped in my direction and my heart sank. I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again.

''Grace...''

''Sophie you remember Calum , Michael ,  Luke and Ashton right?'' she smiled nervously

''My room now!..'' i whispered angrily into her ear and walked into the bedroom. I heard Grace apologies and excuse herself following behind me. I took a seat at the end of the bed and pulled out my bun , gathering my hair and tying into a loose ponytail.

''Look Sophia i kn-''

''What are they doing here!'' i yelled

''I..''

''You know why they can't be here. Please get rid of them or i'm leaving i cant deal with this what if Ashton finds out? What if he finds out i'm her ?'' i cried out pacing up and down my bedroom

''Look i'm sorry but its not everyday a band that your totally in love with and owe your life asks if you want to hang with them. You know i really like Calum and i think... maybe he likes me. I'm sorry i didn't tell you i guess i was caught up in la la land. I'll make them go if it makes you that uncomfortable... but Ashton really wanted to see you again..'' she sighed

''Thank yo-... wait he did?'' i asked taking a seat on the bed.Grace nodded and took a seat next to me , taking my hand in hers and giving it a squeeze.

''Maybe this is your second chance with him.'' she said , i sighed. Could it really be fate telling me to go back to Ashton? I guess its not everyday a girl fakes her death and five years down the line she comes face to face with her ex best friend who she loved ... still loves.

''Uh... you girls okay in there?'' i heard Luke say , 

''Yeah , just a minutue.'' Grace said standing up.

''Do you want me to get rid of them?''

''No... its fine. Your right.... maybe it is fate?'' i chuckled lightly

''Okay. Thanks it means alot.'' she squealed and opened the door. Luke stood at the door his hair styled into a blonde quiff he was wearing a black t-shirt with some sort of writing on and black skinny jeans.

''The other boys made me make sure you wasn't ripping each others hair out.'' he laughed. Grace squeezed past him and went back to enjoy everyone company. I dived back on to my bed staring at the ceiling.

''You just gonna stand there and look at me... perv.'' i said in a serious tone looking at Luke still standing in my doorway.

''Uh... no shit sorry!'' he stumbled his face bright red clearly embarrassed i started laughing and sat up.

''I'm kidding Luke.''

''Fuck you.'' he laughed and i flipped him off making him gasp and put a hand to his heart.

''You've wounded me...'' he said dramatically. I smiled and he smiled back holding out his hand , i looked up at him and he nodded. I took that as a gesture to put my hand in his , in which i did and he pulled me up.

''Lets go socialize.'' he smiled pulling me along the hallway and into the living room where loud talking and laughter could be heard.

I'm not gonna lie and say i wasn't attracted to Luke... because hello he was sex on legs. But i still have feelings for Ashton well my old Ashton whether he's still like that now is another story. I guess i'll just have to find out.
