Sorry I didn't update in awhile.... I have exmas and stuff coming up.

________________________________________________________

Lauren's POV: 

"...I have an idea." I said to Calum.

"What is it?" He says pulling me away from the door.

"You pretend to be my boyfriend." 

Calum's POV:

Did I here her correctly? I know its just for pretend but... 

"Al-alright." I stutter out 

Damn it why do I keep doing that around her.

"Are you nervous?" She says smirking at me.

"What no." I grab her hand and interlace them. 

"Just go along with it." I whisper to her as were walking in.

"Where do you want to sit?" I ask her.

"Hmmm how about over there." 

We walk to the two lounge chairs and set our stuff down. I rip my shirt off and dive into the pool, splashing lauren. 

"Cal why did you do that." She says whining.

"Well we are at a pool aren't we."  I smirk at her. 

"I hate you." She says turning around and taking off her shirt and shorts.

I noticed thatAelx was staring at us..

"C'mon get in already. The water's fiiiiiine." I say laying on my back before she practically jumps on me.

Lauren's POV:

I jumped in on him on purpose. I could see alex eyeing us as he was talking to some girl who I assumed was his girlfriend.

"Why'd you do that?" He says rubbing his back. 

"Bc you were mean to me and I wanted to get in."  

"Alright then." He laughs.

I got on to his back curled my legs around him.

"What are you doing here?" Alex asks.

"Um I live here." I say glaring up at him.

"Oh ok then. Btw you look good." He winks and leaves the pool area with his girlfriend.

"Fuck off man." Calum says.

"Aw look at the cute over protective FAKE boyfriend."  He finally leaves walking away.

"We aren't fake dating if thats what you think." Calum says kissing my cheek.

Why did I enjoy that? 

"Please its so obvious. If its real then why don't we see a kiss?" He states folding his arms and sitting on our chairs.

"Fine." 

We both turn our heads and start leaning forward.

What am I doing? Holy shit I'm about to kissmy bestfriend.

"Any day now." Alex says. 

Calum's POV:

I'm internly screming on the inside. 

"Oh c'mon." I say and just grab her head and kiss her.

It was the best kiss I could make it with out it being awkward. 

Why am I getting this tingly feeling inside?

As if on cue, the others walk in.

"Get some Calum!" Ashton screams.

Oh god. 

I pull away quickley and alex gets up and leaves flipping us off as he walks out with his girlfriend.

"It's not what it looks like." Lauren sasy quickley.

"Oh please. We all saw it." 

Calum's POV: 

I actualy enjoyed?? Kissing my best friend???? 

What's happening to me. I'm not supposed to like my best friend. 

"It was nothing.." I state turning around hiding my blush.

"He's blushing!" Mikey said. 

"Ok stop." Lauren got out of the water and damn I couldn't keep my eyes off her body in that bikini. 

"It was all just an act because my ex boyfriend didn't believe we were "dating" so we kissed to prove it. IT meant nothing like Calum said." She finished and went to go sit in the hot tub on the other side of the pool.

"Ouch man." Luke says getting in the pool. 

Only the guys knew I was starting to get these feelings for her. 

* * * * 

Lauren's POV: 

I can't believe I actually liked kissing my bestfriend. We can't be more than friends it'll just end up being awkward.

I sunk down into the warmth of the hot tub. Next thing I noticed was someone was getting in as well. 

I look up and see Michael. I've been the closests to him out of the others besides Calum obviously. 

"Hey lolo." He says sitting next to me. 

"Hi." I stare off into space as I can hear the others goofing off in the pool.

"Whatcha thinkin?" He asks.

"Lots of things and some things I'm not so sure about." I say in a monotned voice.

"What kinds of things." He pokes my cheek.

"Oh you know what just occured recently." I close my eyes and sigh. 

"If you want to hear my point of view on those things is that I think you guys should try it. I know you both feel the same about each other. Trust me it's completly obvious. To everyone." He says brushing the hair out of my face.

"I'm just afriad it will ruin our firendship." I say while lookingat him.

"It doesn't hurt to give faith a try." 

This is why I love him, as a friend.

"Thanks mikey." I say and he pulls me into a hug.

"Now c'mon lets go back to the others." 

He helps me out of the hot tub and we make our way over to them.

"Hey Lolo." Cal says smiling at me.

I jump in the pool realizing that its cold and come back up shivering. 

"Are you cold?" Calum states noticing my shaking hands.

"Yes." 

"Come here." He opens up his arms for me and immedatley take him up on his offer.

 I glance back at michael who just winks at me.

Maybe I should listen to him more often...
