Luke's POV

I sit on the plane, bored and staring out the window. It's nice being back with my mates, but I really just wish Riley were here. She'd probably be texting me about Ashton's ridiculous giggle across from us while I try to hold in a grin, or resting her hand on my shoulder while we laugh about some dumb thing we came up with. Laughing seems to be a recurring thing in our relationship, which is actually really sweet. I don't like serious people very much, I like being weird and happy. That happy part is hard to achieve right now though. Riley and I kept putting aside talking about how we'll do long distance, and eventually I was leaving and we were sad, and now I'm on a plane to Australia, so I don't really know how we stand right now.

"Luke are you doing okay? We haven't seen each other in months and you can't seem to take your eyes off that window." Ashton giggles.

Knowing that I shouldn't, I look over my shoulder a little bit at Riley changing shirts. She's already got a dark violet lacy bra on. I try looking away when I start feeling a little funny downstairs but I can't. It's sounds douchey or something but my eyes are practically glued on her. She's gotten so much more confident than she was two years ago. She could barely talk to me and now we've been having laughs over what our first time will be like. She used to hide her fanfiction from me at all costs. Now I'm allowed to read it but we can't be in the same room so when I squeal or mumble words in shock she won't be embarrassed.

She looks over at me, and blushes, "Luke I told you to not look."

"I- What? No- I'm looking at the clock." I lie, pointing to the clock behind her.

"Oh really?" She asks, "That clock is broken?" She laughs, and my face goes pink.

"Uh- W-Well I meant- Uh." I bite my lip while she walks over to me, still shirtless. She turns me around so my body is facing her again, and leans down to my eye level since I'm on a chair. A wheely chair, too. It's quite fun. I keep my eyes as locked on hers as I possibly can, fighting the tempting urge to look at her chest. Don't do it Luke, don't do iiitt!

"I really don't think you were looking at the clock." She laughs.

I blush. "Uh- yeah I wasn't.." I trail off.

She raises her eyebrows, "So you lied?"

"What? No no, I didn't mean-"

"Hemmings, I can't believe you'd lie to me." She fake gasps, and sits on my lap. Shit shit shit keep looking at her eyes Luke! Damn, but she IS perfect. No, stop that. Don't be a douche.

I sigh. "Uh- Yeah, I'm fine, sorry."

"Girl troubles?" Michael guesses.

"What?" I look over at him.

He shrugs. "Max told me you and Riley. Ya know." He grins and thrusts his hips into the air a few times.

I blush. "Well. Er. Yeah. But that's not it, that was great."

"Wait, Luke you lost your virginity and didn't tell us?" Ashton raises his eyebrows.

I shrug. "More important things have been happening, that's all."

"What could be more important than having a thing with a girl for two years and finally having sex with her?" Ashton frowns. "Isn't it like this huge thing?"

Michael gasps, "Oh wait, did you mess up? Is that why it's not a big deal? Lukey, did you at least last as long as she did." Michael covers his mouth with his hands.

"No, guys seriously, she was perfect, she said I was perfect, everything was absolutely perfect, we just never talked about how we're going to do long distance."

"Ah, the long D." Michael sighs.

"Please don't call it that." I laugh.

"I get it Luke, Max and I are doing the long-"

"Mike I swear, don't say it."

"Deeeeee." He grins. "Anyway, we just agreed we'd see each other once or twice a month on person, and Skype like, everyday."

"That's not clingy at all." Calum mumbles in the corner.

I watch Michael's face fill up with anger before he turns around to Calum and snaps, "I least I actually love her."

"Shade thrown." I smile, trying not to laugh.

"Okay Luke, so how was it really?" Michael asks me, taking his attention away from the suddenly introverted asshole in the corner.

"How was what?"

"Sex? With Riley?"

"Oh um." I blush, trying to think of a way to describe it without them making me go into detail.

"Luke," Riley lets out a high pitched moan just as I bite down on a newly made hickey on her neck. I kiss up her neck and once our lips make sweet, sweet contact again, her nails dig a little further into my back.

"Perfect, it was perfect." I breathe.

"Nah man, no sex is ever completely perfect. Wasn't there at least one little thing you wish you did better? Or you wish she didn't do?" Ashton asks.

"No." I smile. "She likes everything I do, and I like everything she does."

"Jeez." Michael shakes his head. "Your sex life is going to be actual heaven when you see her again."

"Yeah, whenever that is." I mumble.

"Aw, don't be sad. We finally have a private airplane." Ashton chuckles.

-

Later that day, we're settled into our house again, but I quickly go to my room, seeing my opportunity to talk to Riley.

"Hey Luke." I hear her voice I practically melt.

"Hey babe, um, can we talk about-"

"How we're going to handle long distance?"

"Yeah." I blush at her easily knowing what I'm thinking.

"Well, first of all, a lot of masturbation." She jokes, and I die of laughter. I'm not sure if it was really that funny or if I just miss her too much. Either way, hearing her voice and not seeing her face is killing. "And then Skype?"

"Wait, does Skype go along with the masturbating or is it a separate thing." I laugh.

"Both." I hear the grin in her voice, and get butterflies.

"What about visits? I can pay for them."

"Okay, like once a month then?"

I nod, "Is Max still in Australia?"

"Yeah, I think she's living at Michael's or something." Riley says, trying to sound like it amused her, but it was obvious with her tone change she wanted her cousin back. Especially since I'm not there for company anymore.

"Sorry." I say.

"It's okay." She mumbles. "Although, now that you aren't here I have to go to Jason's wedding alone, you prick." She jokes, and I laugh.

"Sorryyy." I beam, "Who knows, maybe you'll meet a tall blonde and have a fling. Or hey, embrace the cliche and get with the best man." I laugh.

"Well there's a problem with that plan, Luke, I already met a tall blonde, and I'm pretty sure the best man is going to be his fucking xbox." She laughs, and I beam some more. Shit I love this girl.

"I have to go, talk later?"

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you toooo." She smiles, and hangs up.

I open the door and freeze.
