Charlotte's POV

I was making my way towards my friends who were in a giggling fit due to their drunk state whilst dancing on the dance floor.

I was only tipsy, not completely drunk when I felt myself bump into someone's chest and I looked up to see a guy with messy blonde hair, wearing black jeans and a white muscle top along with a light blue shirt on top of it. I'm not going to lie, he was hot.

He gave me a small smile, "Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going-"

"Me either. I'm sorry too." I gave him a sheepish look.

"I'm Ross."

"Ross?!" My eyes widened and I was lucky I didn't have a drink because it would've gone all over him.

"Yeah, is something wrong with my name? Wait," he paused for a second, squinting his eyes and furrowing his eyebrows as if he was studying my face, "You're not Charlotte Smith, are you?"

"I-I am. Surely, you're not Ross Lynch?"

"That's me."

I bit my lip, immediately running my hands through my hair and turning to go the other way. It had been four years since we had last seen each other, and that was when we broke up because I caught him with another girl. The heartbreak he put me through made me decide that I was never going to fall in deep with any guy as much as I did with Ross.

I reached towards the bar behind me, grabbing a shot of tequila and downing it in one go. Seeing him was too much.

"Charlie, I'm sorry about what happened before-" he whispered, grabbing my waist in the process when someone drunkenly barged through the crowd towards the dance floor.

I stared at Ross, not recognizing the fact that I had involuntarily placed my hands on his chest for balance.

"Why are you two just standing there? Go have fun, bro!" A tall dark haired, definitely older looking guy tapped Ross's shoulder, startling him which caused him to pull me into him closer. Impossibly close, may I add.

Ross just shrugged and the other guy strolled off towards another group of party guests. I glanced at Ross, my eyes gazing at his face when he wasn't looking. He turned his head to face me and I almost instantly tore my gaze away from his.

"You haven't changed - still beautiful as always."

"Shut up." I muttered as I hit his chest and turned away to the other direction to hide the blush I had felt forming.

"Can we talk, somewhere more private?" I felt his breath in my ear when I shoved his hand off my waist.

"We have nothing to talk about." I avoided eye contact, fiddling with my thumbs as I stepped back, away from him.

"We do." I noticed him bite his lip as I felt his eyes on me. "Please."

"Ugh, fine." I rolled my eyes and followed him out of the club to wherever he was taking me, which I guessed was his apartment.

The cab pulled up at the address and Ross grabbed my hand, paying the driver and helping me out of the car.

I giggled as he fumbled with the keys in an attempt to open the door and when he finally did, I pushed him forward which caused me to burst into a fit of laughter. Ross somehow managed to restrain himself from falling and locked the front door before stumbling directly into me.

I found myself pushed against the wall with Ross pressed against me and his arms either side of my head for balance.

"This is awkward." I kept laughing, noticing Ross who was tilting his head like a cute, fluffy puppy.

"Sowyyyy." He slurred, giggling as he buried his face in my shoulder, his blonde hair which had grown longer over the years, tickled my skin.

Before I could react, his lips roughly crashed onto mine and his hand found it's way over my body as the other one remained at the side of my head. I wanted to push him off and yell at him because we weren't together for a reason, but I couldn't even if I wanted to. I froze at the feeling of his touch on my skin, as if I was in a trance.

Everything just escalated from there way too quickly.

---

I woke up with an awful headache before I could even open my eyes. What the hell happened last night?

I slowly opened one eye to took in my surroundings; I definitely wasn't at my place. There were clothes scattered all over the room and as soon as I felt a slight shiver, I realized I was butt naked - wait what? I wasn't one to have one night stands so it seemed impossible for me to have slept with a stranger.

Both of my eyes shot open when I noticed an arm wrapped around my waist. It was tanned and muscular and I slowly lifted my eyes up to see the owner, instantly gawking in shock at the sight of a very familiar blonde.

His hair was a complete mess and he seemed to be peacefully sleeping, every once in a while, pulling me slightly closer to him.

I inhaled and exhaled a few deep breaths before unwrapping his arm from around and shifting away from him. I was in so much pain from how sore I felt and because of the headache, I didn't care about waiting for Ross to wake up to give me some Advil.

I made sure he wasn't awake when I bit down on my lip and put my clothes back on as quickly as I could. I could hear Ross mumbling something and I swear, I heard my name mentioned.

But before he could say anything else, I was gone.

So this is my new book which I've decided to write in honour of R5's new EP, New Addiction. I hope you enjoy this book cause I'm super super excited
