Misunderstandings

Calum leads me into a empty room within the upstairs of the house. I followed him into what must've been his room. I have never done these types of things before, nor was I actually a stripper. Did I really want to do this? As much as I thought Calum was hot, I didn't think I was gonna meet him like this. 

I roughly push him down onto the bed and he falls on his back with a groan.

"Hey!" He calls out in pain.

I mouth 'Sorry!' to him. My hands reach the bottom of his shirt and slid underneath the fabric, feeling up his toned abs.

Calum takes my arm and yanks it away., He sits up and his eyes meets mines. His eyes were filled with sincerity. 

"I'm sorry but I can't do this." He puts his hands up and scoots further away from me. "I can't lose my virginity to a stripper." He puts his head in his hands.

The girls and I were always put into awkward situations but this one won the cake. Here I was sitting on a bed in Calum Hood's room while he cries about almost hooking up with a stripper.

"You don't have to." I spoke quietly, he looks up and gives me a friendly smile.

"Thank you for understanding. I'm Calum." He holds his hands out and I shake it.

"I know that dummy..." I laughed. "My name is April." I lied. I didn't want to lie but if I was to ever tell him my real name I'm afraid that he would judge me. Then again, he probably already is.

Come on Lili, think!

"So... what now?" I break the awkward silence between me and Calum. I glance over at his hands as he was currently fidgeting with his fingers.

"Want to watch a movie?" He gives me a dorky smile. I scoff and roll my eyes at him. I get up from the bed, making my way out through his bedroom door, leaving the confused boy to himself. I hear a couple moans from the room over and just shrugged. Everyone was too busy getting some while I was stuck doing nothing. I can't force Calum to have sex with me so the best thing to do is to just sit in my car and wait. 

Irene sneaks out of one of the bedrooms down the hall, carefully shutting it quietly. She barely notices me until I clear my throat.

She jumps but gives me a reassuring smile.

"What happened to you and Calum?" She whispers, fixing her curly mess into a high ponytail and wiping the smudge eyeliner from underneath her eyes.

"I didn't have sex with him. What about you, Monica and Michael?" I asked. This was one of her wishes, to finally hook up with Michael, I'm confused as to why she didn't want to go through with it now? Instead of answering, Irene just shrugs her shoulders. Apparently, everybody was doing that tonight.

We started making our way out of the house, getting lost along the way. The hallways were confusing so we were lost for a while. "I decided to just let Monica have all the fun." She says, keeping her eyes to the ground. 

We finally find the front door and leave the 5SOS house. The weather was warm as it was summer here in LA so we weren't worried about being cold at all. Irene takes off the ridiculously high heels she was wearing once before, making her short as usual. 

Halfway across the street towards the car, we hear the door open and slam behind us. "Hey, wait!" Calum shouts. Quick footsteps follow us and suddenly my hand is yanked back.

I turn around and see Calum with a worried and confused expression. "I didn't want for you to go, April... in all honesty I'm just really confused about this whole thing because you guys look like amateur strippers who want to sleep with us and I don't know if real strippers can even do that..."
