cal pal: ashton does like you, silly
josie: why does he act like that then?
cal pal: he acts like that because he likes you

my eyes widened and I looked at calum. no. this cant be right. I replied.

josie: that's not funny :(

calum snorts when he read that.

cal pal: it's not a joke babe

after that, i gave up, calum clearly doesnt feel like giving me a straight answer. he moves his arm from around me and leaves the room, apparently to call for pizza.

so I'm left with ashton, and just ashton. my nerves are through the roof and I'm 100% sure he can tell. I cant read his face and that scares me. he looks worried, but angry, but hes also kinda smiling. confusing!

"josie?" he said, quietly, barely audible over the movie.

I turned to look at him; "yeah?"

"why were you really with calum?"

"i told you? we were watching a film. do you not believe me?" wow, that stung.

"no, I do, I just dont believe that's all calum wanted." he said, which shocked me. why are both of them insistent on playing with my emotions.

"that's not very nice, cal and I are friends. I was hoping we could be too, but it seems like that might be hard." i replied, getting quieter with every word.

now his face definitely looked like he's hurt; "josie, i-- I'm sorry. I do want to be your friend."

"okay." I said simply, turning so my whole body faced him. I put my arms around his shoulders and pulled him to me. I hated seeing him look upset, so a hug should help.

he does hug me back, finally. well, he actually squeezes me and holds me for longer than I would have anticipated. it turns out, I'm the one that pulls back first.

"we can be friends, but you have to trust me. and you have to trust calum mister." I said, jokingly scolding him.

he just laughed and looked down at our hands that were entwined in my lap.

"okay sweetheart, I can do that." he said with a smile on his lips.

the door opened behind me, and calum walks in. unknown to me, he has a smirk on his face.

"look at you two, ash, did you finally tell--"

"calum, shut up." ashton replied before he could finish what he was saying.

calum just rolled his eyes and I face to turn him. he tells me he got me a margherita and that it would be here in half an hour. he doesnt forget to call me babe, which makes ashton clench his jaw.

by this time, I'm bored of the movie.

"I want to dance." I boldly stated. before I can react, calum had grabbed my hand and we were dancing around the hotel room. to no music, of course. I really didnt mind, i was hyper from being around my two favourite people.

i stepped on my tip toes and ask calum; "can you put some music on for me?" to which he just nodded.

as he did that, I ran over to ashton and grabbed both of his hands and dragged him over to where I was before. he span me around and I fell into his chest and laughed.

honestly, if anyone was to walk in now, it would look very strange. ashton and I were still dancing to silence.

"calummmm!! where is the music?" I whined as the door opens.

"video girl!! you're still here?" michael asks as he walked towards me.

"yes, I am. we're dancing." I say gesturing to ashton, who has a smile on his face that would have made me faint a couple of days ago.

"serious question. where is luke?" I ask michael. I felt like he was the only one i hadn't had a conversation with.

"over here, doll." I hear, which made me whip around to see luke behind me. I smiled.

I smiled because I'm here with my favourite band, my favourite people. and they're here with me. I felt like everything would be okay now.

I walked over to luke to give him a hug because he smelt like vanilla and was warm. he hugged me back, chuckling.

I pulled back.

"you alright, what was that for?" he asked.

"you smell nice" I say with a shrug. which earns a laugh out of all four boys.

"well, I want a hug now!" I hear from michael. I'm not going to say no, am I? so I hugged michael, not letting the stares on my back affect me as much as they were.

before anyone could say anything else, there was a knock on the door with the pizza. thankfully calum bought three, so all 5 of us could share them.

the conversation was free flowing as we ate, it was as if I had known them my whole life. it was just easy.

cal pal: ash will not stop staring at you
josie: shut up

I texted back, but the blush on my cheeks was unavoidable. after that, all I could see was ashton looking at me.

"josie, hello. josie, do you mind if I give luke and michael your number?" I eventually heard calum asking. I shook my head no and told them to go for it.

guitar boy: hey, it's michael :)
video girl: :)

luke: it's me :-)
josie: no, not the nose

I smiled at the messages, but put my phone down after that, not wanting to be rude. I looked up to see that calum, luke and michael are in their own engrossed conversation.

I pick up my phone again and decided to go on twitter.

@irwinsheart: luke hemmings smells like vanilla

"you never tweet about me." whispers ashton, with a scowl on his face. I lent back and put my head on his shoulder.

@irwinsheart: ashton is definitely the cutest. I said what I said

"that better?" I asked, not realising how close his face was to mine.

"yes." he replied, just looking into my eyes with a smile.

(a/n) dude, she has both calum and ashton whipped. I love it :)
