Safely surviving the flight, I immediately found LA was big. And bright. And incredibly noisy.

Unlike the cold streets we had left behind in London, the sweltering heat of LA made it impossible to walk around mid day.

Thus, we headed to our incredible apartment that was our home for the next couple of weeks.

Did I mention it was incredible?

A three story building that we shared with two other groups, each with our own level. We were on the top level, which came with a pool, a games room, a huge kitchen Gordon Ramsay would be proud of, and of course the incredible view of the suburban valley we were located in.

Harry had tried to take a naked photo in front of the huge panoramic windows in the kitchen. Thankfully, Tobi's sudden hand over my eyes shielded me from such a horror. Once Harry had finally put his pants back on, we proceeded to locate our rooms.

Josh had done the allocations, and somehow I had been put to share with himself, Tobi, Simon and Harry. While I wasn't initially fazed by this plan, after realizing I would be in the same room as Simon, with the addition of three of our friends, I was suddenly nervous. Simon had been flirting with me. And if the others picked up on it, oh my, I was in for it. Turns out luck was not on my side as I saw what Josh had planned. The little devil.

"Are you being serious?" I demanded, sighing as I entered the room. Of course Josh had gone straight for the only single bed in the room, Tobi and Vik heading to one of the two double beds. Know what that meant? There was only one double bed left. Did they expect Simon and I to share or something?

"I'm not sharing with anyone." Josh replied to my look of annoyance.

"I have a girlfriend, I can't be caught sleeping with anyone here."

I tuned to Tobi and Vik. Tobi raised his hands in defense.

"Vik doesn't steal the blankets." He replied, avoiding my gaze.

"Ugh, you guys are ridiculous." I groaned, flipping down on the bed.

This was going to end badly for me, I knew it. Somehow, Simon had kept my mind from the flight in a way I never expected. His constant close proximity, a hand on my knee, or fingers brushing over my arm in a soothing pattern had stirred up a strange feeling in the bottom of my stomach. A sensation that was unbearable, one which I hadn't felt in a long time. Simon wasn't making butterflies in my stomach, he was somehow making me feel more. It was electrifying and terrifying at the same time.

"Lucy, we haven't been in LA two hours and you already want to –" Simons voice faltered. He must've worked out Josh's sleeping plans. I didn't bother looking up, instead burying myself further into the bed to avoid embarrassment.

"TOBI! COME LOOK AT THE GAMES ROOM!" Harry was screaming as he pelted through the house at a unhealthy speed. He never seemed to catch on that lanky boys running in slippery socks on a polished wooden floor was a recipie for disaster. Harry wasn't very good at cooking, so I wasn't surprised when I heard a loud crash, followed by a loud proclamation of pain. This disturbance led to the room emptying as the other three boys headed to help their downed friend.

That part of me that I described earlier tightened even further in anticipation.

"What are we going to do?" Simon asked. Nervousness filled my body as I sat up to meet his smirk. Taken aback, I coughed. He really was acting strange.

"I'm not sure." I blushed, avoiding Simon's intense gaze. Even though we'd shared a bed, it felt weird sharing when the other guys were in the room. Did they know we'd shared before?
