Ch. 20
"How did we not know this?" Ashton asked once Michael and Charlotte told the story.
Michael shrugged, "I guess it never came up. Luke, I really don't know how you didn't know this, since we were kind of friends when it happened."
"Well, I knew you got into some kind of accident, but I didn't know you were saving someone's life. I can't believe you did that," Luke said, grabbing two beers from the fridge and tossing one to Ashton.
"I can't either," Charlotte said, looking over at Michael, who had a small smile on face.
"Well, I couldn't let a pretty girl like you get hit," he said flirtatiously, making Charlotte blush profusely.
"But that was such a huge thing, and I still need to find some way to repay you," she replied, sitting back into the couch.
"We'll work that out," the red-haired boy replied with a wink, making Charlotte blush again.
"Okay, well, should we get back to the movie?" Calum asked after a few moments of awkward silence.
"Nah, I'm not interested. Let's do something fun!" Charlotte said cheerily.
"And what do you have in mind?" Ashton asked, taking a swig of his drink.
"I don't know, but something where we can maybe get to know each other through a game of truth or dare?" Luke suggested and everyone else laughed at him.
"What are we, twelve?" Calum laughed, making Luke pout.
"Okay, fine, we'll do something else," Luke mumbled, crossing his arms across his chest.
"Nah, it's a good idea. Let's do it," Charlotte said and the guys nodded.
After sitting in a circle and playing truth or dare and embarrassing the crap out of themselves for a while, it was getting late, so Charlotte decided to go home.
"Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys; I had fun," Charlotte said, standing up. The boys followed her lead and she hugged them all.
"You're welcome to join us any time," Ashton said with a smile, which Charlotte returned.
"I'll walk you to the door," Michael said, putting his hand in the small of Charlotte's back and leading her towards the door. She turned and gave one last wave to the other boys before following Michael out of his house.
"Seriously though, thank you so much for letting me hang out with you guys. I don't think I could stand being in the same room as Christian or Daniela right now," Charlotte said, chuckling slightly.
"Well, like Ashton said, you can join us whenever you want. We're going to the studio to record tomorrow, if you'd like to come. You can just let me know," Michael offered.
"Oh, no, I don't want to be in the way," Charlotte said, opening the door to her car.
"Trust me, you won't be. We have people come hang out with us there all the time. And if you don't want to be around those two, you're more than welcome to come over and hang out with us," he told her, resting his arm on the top of her door while she sat in the driver's seat. She smiled up at him and nodded.
"I'll text you."
