"Okay, that wasn't even fair. You guys didn't even give us a chance to get any guns!" I practically shouted. The guys all laughed at me and I rolled my eyes, taking a sip of my beer. The bitter taste made me shiver and Luke immediately noticed.

"You cold?" he said as he wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I shook my head, but he never let up. I sighed and leaned into his chest, the effects of the amount of bottles I opened and chugged were finally catching up to me, my eyes drooping and my body becoming flimsy and tired the longer I stayed leaning against my boyfriend.
My boyfriend. The words were foreign to me. I haven't had a boyfriend since him and I still am scared. Every time I get a loving look from him, I see it happening again, replaying in my mind like s broken record.

My drunken thoughts were cut short when Luke suddenly stood, throwing me off balance. I carefully stood and led us out the door of his room, and across the hall to mine. I drunkenly swiped my key card and stumbled into the room, starting towards my bed.

I didn't make it there though.
The minute my hand met the duvet, I felt his hands slide around my waist and pull me to his chest. I looked into his vibrant blue eyes and saw something in them I haven't seen before.

"I think I'm in love with you, Ashley," he whispered before smashing his lips to mine. If I was sober, I would not have let this go any further until we had a conversation about the words that slipped through his lips.
But I am very much not sober.
I immediately swing my arms around his neck and jumped to wrap my legs around his waist. his hands traveled immediately to the back of my thighs, where his cold fingers lingered and squeezed. I gasped as my back hit the drywall and he pressed against me. I smiled into this feverish but passionate kiss and tugged at his locks. He groaned into my mouth and I smirked.

I woke up to the sunlight beating down on my face and a massive beating in my head. I squinted as the said sunlight shined into my eyes, depriving me of my vision.

"And she lives," I heard from across the room. I immediately covered my exposed chest with the sheet and looked over to where the alarming sound came from.

"Looks like you and Luke had a pretty good time last night," Calum remarked. I rolled my eyes and flipped him off, throwing myself back against the soft material of the mattress, but immediately regretting it when my head started pounding even worse than before. I groaned and grabbed at my forehead until Calum came and set something on the side table.

"Don't take all four of those tablets, two are for him," he nodded his head in the direction of the area behind me before he stalked off and left the hotel room. I rolled my eyes and threw the two small pills into my mouth, throwing my head back as I swallowed them down with water. I carefully wrapped the sheet around my still naked body and grabbed clothes before practically running to the bathroom. I immediately turned the faucet in the shower as hot as it would go and waited patiently as the water heated up, the thick steam slowly filling the tiny room.

"I figured you'd be the one in here," I heard Luke say from the other side of the curtain. I nodded and then quickly realized that he couldn't see me.

"Yeah, I felt icky," I said. His laugh sounded through the room.

"Icky? I don't recall you saying that last night," I could practically hear his smirk. I rolled my eyes and squirted the strawberry scented shampoo into my hand, lathering it in my hair.
Just as I was finished rinsing the shampoo out of my hair, the shower curtain slid back to reveal Luke, but it closed as quickly as it opened. I could feel Luke's presence behind me, so I turned around.

"Do you remember last night?" he asked me. I shrugged.

In all honesty, I only remember small parts. I remember getting to the hotel room and then I remember the middle of the... events, from last night.
