"kal, it's not gonna last forever." ethan said as i ignored him to work on the science project. "how do you know? that was your first time ever doing one!" i say back a little too loudly. "yea okay, but i've done research before getting one. they fade so much faster than professional tattoos. i also didn't go too deep or even use permanent ink! so in a month or two it'll be gone!" he responded. "fine ok! i forgive you. now please help me with this before we fail."

four pm

the rest of the day went by pretty slow, i was going over to ethan's to work on the science project which we had barely started and was due tomorrow. i knock on the front door expecting an answer from ethan or gray. "hey babe" ashton swings open the door. "this isn't what i need right now, where's e?"

"erm, he's stoned in the back. why do you need him?"

"fuck. we needed to work on our chem project."

"oh i can help, i'm great at chemistry. and i can tell you and i have got some." he winks at me. i roll my eyes. "fuck off." i set my bag down on the kitchen table. "okay actually, i can help." he says walking over. "honestly i'll take all the help i can get."

we finally finished the project and i was exhausted, and to make matters worse i felt disgusting. and probably looked it too. "i'm gonna go shower." i say hopping up the stairs. i let the water heat up while i search under the sink for some actual shampoo and conditioner. not the "5 in one face wash, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and ass cleaner".

i wash my body and hair as quickly as i could. their bathroom was so gross, it was basically covered in pubes. as i get out i grab a towel and start to comb my hair. "oh uh sor-" ashton opens the door. "damnn." he says as i realize i'm basically naked. "get out!" i say pushing him out. i was a little shaken up like he just saw me naked, but i couldn't help but be a little turned on by it.

i put back on my old clothes and head down the stairs. "it was a nice view." i hear ashton call to me as i walk in the kitchen. "do you not know how to knock?"

"no i do, i just didn't want to."

"ugh you pig." i roll my eyes. "oink oink." he responds. "have you ever even had a real girlfriend?"

"i mean, yeah. you and all of your little friends are so quick to judge. you all think i'm with a new girl every weekend. honestly, i'm not. yea maybe a new girl every month, maybe not even that. it just gets fucking annoying sometimes." he spits. i could tell the anger was built up from a long time of being called a fuckboy. i look down, "i'm sorry, honestly it's kinda bitchy of me to judge you when i don't even know you. but you can't deny, you've been acting like a fuckboy around me."

"yeah i know, normally i'm not like this to any girl. unless it's a girl i wanna get with-" he stops. i roll my eyes, "no i didn't mean it like that. i just, i just think you're pretty and all. not like i have a crush on you, i mean i'm ashton irwin i don't have crushes." he smirks. "oh god you're so annoying, you have to admit. you are kind of a fuckboy, a cocky one too." i say rolling my eyes for what seems like the 100th time today. "careful, if you roll your eyes one more time they might fall out." he says.

"hey guys!" grayson says walking in. a smile lights up on my face, "someone i want to see!" i say going up to hug him. i notice ashton's body tense up while we hug. god he can't be serious about having a crush on me. "lans are you spending the night tonight?" he asks. "yeah probably, i mean i definitely don't wanna go home." i say as he walks over to ashton. "where's ethan?"

"stoned in the back, with some girl." he points to the back door. "you guys should throw a party tonight." ashton adds. "why?" i ask. "it'd be fun, plus there's no other parties going on tonight. at least ones i have any interest in."

10pm

"do you want a drink?" ashton asks , "sure why not." i respond following him back into the kitchen. he hands me a watered down vodka, "this tastes like shit" i say. "yea, i know. but you don't want any of the other stuff." i didn't know where most of it came from because everyone here was underaged and ashton just showed up with it. we talk for a little bit and honestly he's not that bad of a guy, sure he has some flaws but nothing terrible.

some clearly wasted guy stumbles in to the kitchen, i notice him staring at me. uncomfortably, i scoot towards ashton a little more. ashton notices is the small gesture and grabs my wrist and pulls me towards the living room. i can't help the feeling i get when his skin touches mine "let's go play truth or dare with them, or something. i know that guy, and you don't wanna talk to him. he says. i squeeze onto the couch by camryn and some guy named calum, there wasn't much room left so ashton sat on the floor in between my legs. "hey ethan, truth or dare?" calum asks. "you already know man."

"alright, i dare you to spend 7 minutes in heaven with, kalani." he says. i feel ashton's body tense up, i look over at ethan who's completely wasted and smirking. i get up from my spot on the couch and follow ethan up the stairs. we land in his room and i sit down on his bed. "you're drunk, so you probably will regret everything you're doing. but then again so am i." i say as he walks over to me. "you're right." he says cupping my face in his hands. he looks between my eyes and mouth, asking for permission. i nod and pull his face down to meet mine.

the kiss was rough and intense, our tongues fought for dominance until he eventually won. he trailed kisses down my neck, he sucked at a certain sweet spot on my neck. i moaned his name while tugging at his hair. as he pulled away i grabbed his chin and lifted it til his face met mine. i pushes him over on the bed until i was on top of him. i suck on a few spots by his jaw leaving a mark, "kalani, oh god." he moans into my ear. i notice a small bulge starting to form under my pelvis, but before i know it calum barges in to tell us our seven minutes were up.

"damnn y'all went at it!" he laughs. my face turns a deep shade of red. as i get off him, my eyes instantly dart to the bulge in his pants. calum bursts out laughing. "well that was something" he says as calum walks out laughing. "yeah" i respond. any heat from the moment diminished the second calum walked in. i start to walk out of the room "kal, wait. can we just talk about what happened?" he asks. i stop and turn around, "we both know we don't have feelings for eachother, we've been bestfriends since 2nd grade. we were both just drunk." i say walking over to him. he nods, "you're right, but tell me one thing."

"what?"

"how good of a kisser am i?" he asks winking. i roll my eyes, "not bad." i respond laughing. he wraps his arms around me engulfing me in his scent. i was only 5'2 so his head rested over mine pretty easily. we both pull away and walk down stairs.

as we walk into the living room everyone's clapping and whistling, well everyone but ashton. i walk over to where i was sitting on the couch and as i sit down ashton stands up and walks away.
