Boys of Apartment 5

Chapter 7

***Nicole's P.O.V.***

I danced into the living room to turn on some music. I plugged my iPhone into the speakers, and "Hold On We're Going Home" by Drake came on.

I hummed while skipping into the kitchen. I was home alone currently, Taylor, Luke, Ashton, and Brooke went on some double date or something, and Aubry went on a run.

I was looking though the cabinets when I heard a knock at the door. I turned the music off and opened the door to see Michael.

"Party of one huh? Where's the rest of the crew?"

Michael says, walking in. I shut the door behind him.

"They're...out."

I reply, sitting on the couch.

"Oh, well I guess it's just you and me!"

He says, looking through a box in the corner.

"I'm scared."

I say, and Michael laughs deviously.

"Wanna watch a movie?"

He says, pulling out 'Cars'.

"Cars?"

I question, and he nods his head.

"Okay, put it in."

I reply, and he excitedly put in the disc. He took a seat next to me on the couch, and the previews started to play. I grabbed the remote and skipped them.

The movie started to play and I sighed.

"What? You don't like Cars?"

Michael asks, almost offended.

"It puts me to sleep."

I reply, an Michael shakes his head in disapproval.

By the time the movie is about halfway through, Michael and I are pretty much cuddling. I start to get really tired, and without a second thought, I rest my head on Michael's shoulder and fall asleep.

***Michael's P.O.V.***

I really liked Nicole, like a lot, and I wasn't sure how to tell her. All of the guys knew, and by this point, I'm pretty sure she does too.

She has her head on my shoulder, and is sleeping quite peacefully. I shift my arm a bit, and she wraps her arm around it. I smile and tuck a piece of hair behind her ear.

Just then, Aubry comes through the door. She grabs her purse and is about to walk out when she notices Nicole and I.

"Well, what do we have here?"

Aubry says, walking towards me. I blush slightly, and look at Nicole, silently willing for her to wake up.

"Um...how should I wake her up?"

I ask wriggling my arm, but she only grasps it tighter. Aubry chuckles, and comes around the couch behind Nicole. She grabs a chunk of her hair and tugs it lightly.

Nicole groans, and for a second, I think she might be getting up, but she just lays in my lap.

Aubry giggles again, and pulls Nicole's hair again, except this time a bit harder. Nicole groans another time, but this time she wakes.

It takes her a moment to realize where she is, and instantly pops upright onto the couch. She blushes madly, and Aubry is still laughing.

"I'm gonna leave you two alone..."

Aubry says with a grin, and scurries out the door.

"I...um. Sorry."

She says hesitantly, flattening her hair. I chuckle and she blushes again.

"W-was I like that the whole time?"

She asks, straightening out her shirt.

"Um...well, no. At first you were kinda just on my arm, then I tried waking you up and then...yeah."

I reply, looking down at my shoes.

"Oh."

Nicole says, doing the same thing.

"Look, Nicole, I really-"

I start, but I am cut off by everyone coming into the apartment at once, talking loudly.

They stop for a moment, before they all start giggling wildly.

"Um... Hi?"

I say as they all pile onto the couch and the floor. They continue looking at their phones and giggling.

"What is so funny?"

Nicole asks, trying to get a look at their phones.

Finally, Luke turns his phone around, showing me a tweet.

It was a picture of Nicole sleeping on my shoulder, minutes earlier, that Aubry had taken.

I blushed, and Nicole buried her face in her hands.

"I swear to god Aubry..."

Nicole says, lunging at her, but Aubry blocks her with a pillow and Nicole returns to her seat.

"Better watch your back."

Aubry says, gesturing to Nicole. Nicole glares at her and heads to the kitchen.

"You too, lover boy."

She says to me, and I roll my eyes.

"Oh, c'mon! Don't act like you and Calum don't have anything going on."

Nicole exclaims from the kitchen.

"We don't!"

They both chorus, and I nod my head.

"Anyone wanna play truth or dare?"

Taylor asks, and everyone seems to oblige.
