"Since we just got here, Ashton and I decided we would rest for a couple hours in the hotel room. The two of you can go out to dinner or something, and, we might order room service later." I said to my mom and she looked over at Ashton, who, at the moment, was more focused on his milkshake than anything else.

"Anne, do you think Calum and Ashton will be fine on their own?" My mom asked Ashton's mom and she nodded a bit.

"Of course. Ashton is 19, and Calum is 17. I'm not sure about Calum, but I know Ashton is mature enough to make sure they don't get into any trouble. Isn't that right, Ashton?" Anne said and Ashton looked up from his milkshake, completely oblivious to what the conversation was.

"Just nod your head, pretty boy." I mouthed to Ashton and he looked at me for a second before looking at his mom and nodding his head a couple times.

"Alright, well, I guess Joy and I will go out to eat, then. Are you sure you boys don't want to join us?" Anne said and Ashton looked at me with a look that I could tell definetly meant 'please?', and I shook my head as I looked at Ashton's mom.

"No thanks, Anne. Ashton and I were just talking about how we weren't very hungry after those milkshakes. Isn't that right, Ashton?" I said and Ashton hesitantly nodded his head.

"Alright, well, you two get some rest, and we'll be back in a couple hours." My mom said before walking away with Anne.

I took Ashton's hand before leading him into our hotel room, then I quickly shut the door behind us.

"Are you ready for this?" I asked Ashton as I took off my jacket and tossed it to the side.

"I guess so. As ready as I'll ever be, you know?" Ashton answered before taking off his shoes and socks.

"Oh, pleade, you'll be fine, I promise." I said and he looked at me with a look that seemed like he wasn't so sure. "Look, since it's your first time, I'll go easy on you. Does that make you feel any better about thus?"

He nodded his head a little as we both started to get undressed, and bit down on his lip slightly as he looked down at the floor, as if he was scared to look at me.

"What's the matter?" I asked and he shrugged his shoulders.

"I.. Well, you're naked." He muttered and I couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle.

"Of course I'm naked, silly. So are you. It's okay to look you know. I mean, we are about to have sex, so, there's really no point in not looking, you'll end up seeing it anyways." I said and he nodded before slowly lifting his head and looking at me.

"Um. Well. You said we'd do it in the shower, though, and we aren't in the bathroom, so, um, I don't know. Have our plans changed?" He asked and I shrugged.

"We can do it wherever you're most comfortable. I'd really suggest the shower, though." I said and he nodded.

"Let's do it in the shower, then." Ashton said before walking towards the bathroom.

After a while, we wound up just standing there in the shower, and I was holding Ashton as we stood there with the water running down our bodies. Suddenly, I heard someone knock on the hotel room door, and I quickly let go of Ashton before getting out of the shower and wrapping a towel around my waist, then I looked through the peephole of the door. It was my mom, and I'm sure Ashton's mom was probably with her, as always. I slowly opened the door for them, and I secretly hoped Ashton would just stay in the shower a little while longer.

"We just came to check on you. Um.. Calum why aren't you dressed?" My mom asked and I looked down at the towel that was around my waist.

"I had just gotten out of the shower just about the time you knocked." I said and looked towards the bathroom door.

"And you left the shower running?" She asked.

"Um, no. Ashton is in the shower." I said and Anne looked at my mom before looking at me.

"Wow. He must have gotten in the shower the very second you got out. What'd you do, shower together?" Anne said jokingly. I let out a soft, nervous laugh.

"Heh heh. Good one, Anne. No, uh, I shower by myself. He got in the shower just as soon as I got out." I lied and she shrugged.

Ashton soon came out of the bathroom and I mentally face-palmed.

"Out of the shower so soon?" Anne asked and Ashton looked at me with a dumbfounded look, as if he wanted me to answer the question.

"Uhh.. Yeah. I uh. I forgot my shampoo. I just. Yeah." Ashton said and quickly headed back into the bathroom.

"Okay then. Well, we're going to our hotel room to discuss activities and all. You two can come join us whenever you're dressed, if you'd like." My mom said before leaving Ashton and I's hotel room.

As soon as I knew they were out of earshot, I went and told Ashton that they were gone, and we both got dressed.

"So, how do you feel?" I asked him and he shrugged. "Like a virgin?" I said with a slight smirk, knowing the answer would be no, because we both know he is definetly not a virgin anymore.

"More like.. Unlike a virgin. That's the only way I know how to put it." He said and I chuckled before motioning for him to come with me.

"Come on. Our moms want us to come to their hotel room to discuss plans or something. My mom said that we could do that if we want to, but I'm sure we both know that that's mom tale for 'you have to'."

As soon as we got to our moms' hotel room and they let us in, we sat down on the couch, and tried to pay attention to what they were saying, but the entire time, we kept glancing at each other with knowing looks, looks that basically meant 'we just had sex, and our moms have no clue', and we kept mouthing things to each other, so I'm 90% sure our moms were starting to get suspicious. But, I knew we'd be able to come up with something to keep them from finding out. It would just take a bit of thinking, and a bit of work, but I knew we could pull it off.

"What are you two talking about? You can't possibly be hiding something from us, could you?" My mom asked.

"No, mama. We aren't hiding anything from you. You know we wouldn't do that. We were just discussing what time we'd get up tomorrow morning, because we wanted to know what time to set the alarm for." I said and my mom looked at Ashton's mom, then they both looked at me.

"Why couldn't you discuss it out loud?" Anne asked.

At this point, I wasn't even sure what to say, but luckily, Ashton quickly came up with just the right words. And, I suppose he was at least halfway paying attention to what our moms were saying while also talking to me, or at least that's how it seemed.

"Well, you two were discussing what time of day we should go to Disney, and Calum and I didn't want to interrupt that conversation. Plus, we were planning on getting up a little early to watch the sunrise, so, we were trying to think of the best time for that. We're listening. I promise." Ashton said and flashed an innocent smile.

Damn that boy and his cute smile and his cute dimples and his quick thinking skills.

"Ohh, okay. Maybe we could join you to watch the sunrise?" My mom said and I was starting to regret Ashton saying that, because that would mean we'd actually have to really get up kinda early, plus our moms would be joining us, and I was hoping to have some alone time with Ashton to get to know him better.

"Yeah, sure. We don't mind. This is a family vacation, after all. Which means, we do a lot of things together. So, I guess you could come to our hotel room when you two get up, and then we can all go to the balcony and watch the sunrise." Ashton said.

As soon as I knew our moms weren't looking, I mouthed "Fuck you." To Ashton.

"You already did." He mouthed to me and winked.

That boy. I swear.
