Luke's pov

So, once I decided I needed to crash this wedding and win the girl of my dreams back I needed to figure out exactly how I was going to do that. Obviously I couldn't just literally crash it and object on the spot, I'd probably get laughed at and thrown out or something. No, this had to be an extremely convoluted and full proof plan that I was to execute cleanly and smoothly. I spent the next few days in bed like how I was when I was depressed, but instead of lying in my own self pity I laid there thinking constantly over and over. A few days went by and I was no closer to coming up with much less my first step to this plan when I got a phone call that changed everything. It was Adriana. She wanted me to meet her for dinner with her sister I guess to catch up and what not I'm not sure. She also invited me to the wedding, so it might be related to that I don't know. Never the less I agreed and hung up and then got up out of bed to get changed. I was still in boxers and a black v neck so I figured I should get a little bit more presentable for this dinner.

"Finally getting out of bed, I see." Michael commented walking into the room as I struggled to pull up the legs of my tight black skinny jeans. In the process I lost my balance and fell over resulting in Michael laughing at me and me grumpily sighing and getting back up and sitting on the bed before attempting again.

"Yeah, I'm going out." I said.

"Oh, with who?" Michael asking leaning in slightly.

"... Adriana." I said hesitantly. Michael rolled his eyes and took a few steps away from my before walking back.

"Why are you doing this to yourself?" He asked tilting his head.

"Doing what?" Calum asked walking into the room with Ashton following shortly behind.

"He's going out to dinner with Adriana." Michael told them to which they both returned disappointed expressions in response.

"Aw come on Luke are you trying to put yourself through hell." Ashton said sympathetically.

"Okay guys, for one her sister will also be there and two, she invited me I wasn't going to be rude and say no." I said in defense. They all still looked at me quizzically and I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Oh, you know what you should do?" Calum said taking a seat on the side of my bed.

"What?" I asked curious.

"You should totally hook up with her sister, I bet she's probably hotter." He said to which the others all agreed. I immediately blew off the idea before taking a second to think about it. That would actually be a good start to this plan I really needed to come up with soon. If I seduced her sister I could take her to the wedding as my date and get the inside on Adriana and all the holes there obviously were in her relationship with Josh so I could use them to my advantage and thus destroy them, in the romantic sense. It was perfect.

"You know, on second thought I might actually go through with that." I said getting up now fully in my panted that were such a struggle to get on.

"Atta boy Lukey." Ashton said patting me on the shoulder. I threw on a clean v neck tee shirt and grabbed one of my flannels out of my closet before throwing that on over it. I slipped on my black converse before I deemed myself ready and turned to the boys.

"I should probably get going." i said to them. They all agreed and I said my good byes before leaving. I drove to this address Adriana texted me which apparently had the best pizza in town. When I walked into the little restaurant I looked around a bit for second trying to find Adriana, who said she was already here and seated. It took me no time to find her, her features so familiar to me even though they actually weren't. It was just something about her, I guess that made me feel like I could spot her anywhere her features that I loved so easy for me to find no matter where we were. I walked over to the table and I was met with two faces looking at me.

"Luke!" Adriana said getting up out of the booth to give me a hug. I returned the gesture and looked the the girl on the other side of the booth. She had long silky hair similar to Adriana's only a light auburn color and her eyes were an icy blue, kind of like mine were. "Oh Luke, this is my sister Serena." She said gesturing to the girl I now find myself staring at longer than I probably should have been. She had the same type of aura to her that was mesmorizing to see. I almost got lost staring at her and I had to shake my head slightly to gather my thoughts again.

"Pleasure." I said extending my hand out for her to shake. Once she returned the gesture Adriana slid back into the booth and I followed her actions. We all picked up our menus and began to browse through the different pizzas they had here. This place was exclusively a Pizza place, so that's all they had and even though I kind of wasn't in the mood for pizza, I guess I was out of luck considering that.

"So Luke, Adriana tells me you're in a band?" Serena asks me. Immediately my interest is peaked and I engage in conversation with her talking about my band and how we tour all over the world and just the passion I have towards what I do for a living. Afterward I asked her what she did and eagerly listened to her talk about her life as a writer/editor. She did both, when she wasn't busy editing someone else's book, she'd be in the middle of her own. I was surprised to find I had actually already read a couple of her books and from what I remember they were actually very good and I was impressed. Even though they both shared the same drop dead gorgeous looks it was interesting to see how Adriana and Serena had taken two completely different paths in life. Serena intrigued me, in a different way than Adriana did, maybe like in a way where I saw her as a really good friend in the future, but for the time being I needed to do my best to win her over and seduce her and all that. When the waiter brought the check and we had all paid I figured now was my opportunity to ask Serena out on I guess a date.

"Serena, would you maybe want to go take a walk, get some coffee?" I asked her nervously fidgiting with my fingers. She looked to her sister who eagerly nudged her toward me in encouragement.

"Uh yeah that'd be great." She said. I held me arm out to her which she gladly took before exiting the building. We said goodbye to Adriana for now and turned down the street that the coffee shop was located. I cracked a few jokes here and there on the way causing an adorable giggle to escape her lips ad my heart to warm at the sound. When we got to the shop I asked her what she wanted and told her to find us a table. Once I got our orders I gently sat them down at our table and took a seat.

"So, I had a question I wanted to ask you." I said taking a sip from my coffee.

"Okay, what is it?" She asked putting her elbows on the table and leaning her head on her hands looking up at me.

"Well, as you probably know I'm going to the wedding, and you're obviously going to the wedding, and I wanted to see if maybe we could go to the wedding together?" I asked hesitantly. Her eyes lit up and her smile widen at my words.

"I would love to go to the wedding with you Luke." She said taking my hands in hers excitedly.She gave me her phone number and we set up another date before we left the coffee shop and she hailed a taxi for herself. I watched her hop in and drive off until the cab was off into the distance and finally out of view. I thought about what I was doing and everything going on and shivered slightly. I pulled my jacket closer to my body and put my hood on before beginning to walk down the street back to the hotel where the boys were probably eagerly waiting to find out about how it all went.
