Secret Agent (5 Seconds of Summer)

Chapter 28:

"She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered...I play guitar but she's into drummers..." The boys sung with grins on their faces in the living room. Ashton was much more alive than yesterday, although I got the impression he wasn't happy that I sneaked out of bed last night. Ashton grinned at me, taking my hand.

"I have something planned for us tonight." He kissed my cheek shyly, causing me to blush. 

"What is it?"

"You don't get to find out yet!" Ashton accused in a jokey way. I laughed loudly, before nodding.

"Fine." I smirked, before leaning forward to kiss him. He cupped my cheek, pulling me tighter towards him. 

Luke POV

As I watched Ashton and Georgia make out from the other side of the living room, I tried to concentrate on jamming with Calum and Michael on our guitars. Michael let out a loud chuckle as he looked up from his guitar.

"Ashton! Enough with the PDA- you're melting Luke's innocent eyes here!" He looked over at me and I felt a blush rise to my cheeks as I grinned.

"I'm waiting for the right girl Mikey shut up!" I winked at him, before continuing on with the song. Calum began writing on a sheet of paper. I eyed the scribbles quickly.

You are everything I want and everything I need. It's because of you that I can't breathe. 

I looked over at Ashton and Georgia, then Calum, then back to Georgia.

Either Calum was in love with Ashton...or Calum was in love with his girl.

"Cal, those are some cool lyrics there..." I murmured, looking up at Michael, who was reading over Calum's shoulder. I could sense in his eyes that Michael knew something more, and I gave him a look. Michael signalled for me to follow him, and he headed to his room. As soon as we got in he shut the door and shook his head at me.

"Don't speak of it. Calum has his issues and so does Gee and Ash."

"But he likes her!?" I felt a confused feeling settle in my stomach. "Did Gee lead him on or?"

"I think it's more that Ash called dibs so Calum had to pretend he doesn't have feelings for her. It sucks to be him but that's the way it should stay, honestly. Ash will be broken hearted if they broke up, not to mention if he finds out Cal slept with her first."

"They slept together?! Mike! How come I don't know about any of this!" I sat on his bed, running a hand through my hair. "This is going to break up the band. We'll be that band who could've been something but got cut short. I hate you all sometimes." I groaned. 

"You can't hate love, man." Michael grinned. "I'm going back downstairs." I jumped after him to see Calum sitting there quietly alone, plucking on the strings of his guitar. 

"Where's Ashton and Gee, man?" I asked, looking around. Calum looked up, looking at me with puppy dog eyes.

"I...I think they went to Ashton's room." He mumbled, and I looked at him sympathetically. His mouth fell open and he glared at Michael.

"You told him- didn't you?" 

Michael looked surprised at Calum. "How did you know I knew?"

"You walked in on me practically declaring myself to her last night- how could you not know?"

"Dude, we're here for you. We're not taking sides- don't hate on Mikey." 

"I personally think this is great, actually." Calum shook his head, looking at the sheets of paper in front of him. "I've come up with loads of new songs. Listen."
