Secret Agent (5 Seconds of Summer)

Chapter 16: Overhearing

Gemma POV

"Georgia? Mikey, Gee's missing." I heard Ashton call out then sigh. A door shut, and I heard footsteps.

"Did you tell her the truth?" Michael asked, and I looked up, curious.

"Yeah, of course I did. Cal or any one of us would never use Gee. I don't care who she is. Daughter of a fancy man or a serial pyschopath murderer...actually maybe not the last one." Ashton joked. 

"You and her seem to be getting along very nicely..." Michael suggested.

Ashton POV 

We had stopped walking, and I leaned on the wall before sliding down. I nodded, smirking. 

"She's really cool. But I can't do anything because of Luke."

Michael looked at me, a smile forming on his lips. "Something happened, didn't it."

"No. No! Mikey I can't tell you." I chuckled as Michael slipped to the floor too. 

"Tell me! You know I love being in on secrets? Is Gee your dirty little secret?" He winked, and I shut my eyes, shaking my head.

"That was lame."

"I can't help it you're whipped."

"I am not whipped!"

Michael laughed, but then his face turned serious. "Come on Ash, tell me!" He inched closer to me and gave me puppy dog eyes. It was a minute before I gave in. 

"Something may have happened."

"Did you have sex?" 

"No! I just want to get to know her more, as more than friends. But I can't seem to because of Luke!"

"Luke will get over it. If he realises that you're happy, he would be too."

I sighed. "We've never really fought over a girl before. With the tour its a bit tough to settle down but Calum said she might be coming on tour with us. I'm not overthinking things but I've missed being able to settle down. My last actual girlfriend was 3 years ago."

"The one who broke up with you cause she didn't think the band would go anywhere." Michael chuckled, and I nodded, cracking a smirk.

"Look where we are now." I murmured, pulling out my phone. "Let me give Gee a call."

I pressed dial on her name, and my eyes widened to Michael as I heard the phone go off in the room behind us. Michael jumped up and went further down the corridor to open the door to that room. He went in and a minute later he was tugging Georgia out. She looked like she had been crying more so than before. When I stood up, she ran over to me to hug me. Michael patted my shoulder before walking away.

"Are you okay?" I whispered as she tucked her head into my chest.

"I heard what you said." She mumbled, and my smile dropped instantly. Shit.

"Er...there's no way of getting out of that one, is there?"

She looked up, shaking her head, before going onto her tiptoes and kissing me. When she pulled away, she smiled. "You're one of the reasons I want to stay. But we can't tell anyone."

My heart jumped at her words, and a wide grin formed on my face. "Really?"

Georgia giggled, nodding, before I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a hug. I timidly kissed her, and she eagerly kissed me back. I gripped her tightly against me, pushing her back against the corridor wall. I groaned, pulling away as a crew member came walking by. Georgia was blushing and I couldn't take the grin off my face.
