13. I'm a Mess

I woke up much too early for my own liking. Leave it to me to wake up early on the one morning I actually get to sleep in my own bed. I sat up and saw Zoe still asleep. That meant I got shower first! I hoped up and grabbed a towel before I hurried to the bathroom. Only Ashton was already in there. I hadn't thought to knock or anything. I didn't think anyone else was up! But Ashton was and he had already showered. He was even standing there as we stared at each other with nothing on. At all. He was completely naked. He raised his eyebrows at me and I blushed.

"I'll tell Cal that you weren't staring at me." He giggled. I shook my head at him. Why couldn't I say anything? Why couldn't I do anything other than stare at his amazing abs or large....biceps?

"Fuck, no!" I said quickly, "I mean...Uh....just go okay?" He laughed and walked past me. I closed the door and turned on the shower. It was nice bathing in my own shower in my own bathroom, in my own house. Until I heard the door opened. I sighed and peaked out through the shower curtain at Calum. He grinned at me through the mirror and I rolled my eyes.

"Ash told me you saw him naked." He giggled. I rolled my eyes and went back to  my shower. "He said you got really embarrassed."

"I did not!" I said quickly, feeling my face go hot. I was probably the only person who could manage to have a noticeable blush in the shower. "Why was he just standing there completely naked anyway?"

Calum laughed again and I sighed. "He was getting out of the shower!" I heard the water running in the sink and the water in the shower turned cold for a second. I squeaked and jumped away from the shower head. Calum laughed and I looked out at him again. He was brushing his teeth.

"I didn't even look at...." I blushed again and Calum laughed at me again, "Him...."

"You should have." Calum shrugged, his voice muffled and gurgle-y from his toothbrush. "You could have seen that I'm bigger than him."

"Oh God...." I rolled my eyes at him and finished my shower. I shut it off and wrapped a towel around my body before I opened the curtain. Calum was rinsing his mouth and he frowned at me, like he couldn't believe I'd covered up. He spit and then moved close to me, grabbing my hips before I could make much of a move to get away from him. He tried to kiss my lips, but I turned away and his lips collided with my cheek. "Calum not in here. I don't have any clothes on."

"Eh," He mumbled tugging on the edge of my towel, "Kinda makes it better." I laughed and pushed against his chest. He took a step back and started taking off his clothes.

"Cal what are you doing?" I asked adjusting my towel. He looked at me and my eyes trailed down to his chest. Why did he have to be so fit?

"I'm taking a shower." He said simply, reaching into the tub to turn the knob. "Is that okay?" He asked raising his eyebrows. I shook my head and decided to leave before he took the rest of his clothes off.

I went to my bedroom where I thought I'd find Zoe still asleep, or at least still lying in bed playing with her phone. Instead I found Michael passed out in Zoe's bed. I was not going to take this towel off with him in my room. He probably wouldn't even wake up if I was quiet enough, but I wasn't gonna risk that.

I walked out of my room again and saw Zoe. "Hey!" I said, gritting my teeth in annoyance, "Get your lazy ass boyfriend out of my room." She giggled and went inside. I heard Michael groan as Ashton and Luke walked out of the music room together. I sighed. Way too many people are seeing me in a towel. Ashton winked at me as he walked by and I tried not to think back to the awkwardness from earlier. Michael finally walked out of my room. I went in quickly and closed the door all while Luke and Ashton giggled at me.
