The elevator walls were completely made of mirrors so it was nearly inevitable to not take notice of my appearance. Everything about it screamed sex. I could already hear all the shit Ashton was going to give me about it.

The elevator doors slid open and I made my way down the dimly lit hallway.

I couldn't help but feel that someone was watching me. I looked around to see no one was there. It was about 2:00am, so all of the maintenance staff were long gone, snoring away in their beds.

"Jesus, man. I thought you were kidnapped or something. Took you long enough." Ashton said as I pushed through the revolving door.

"Sorry. Got a bit distracted upstairs." I glanced back at the building quickly before starting to walk down the street, my friend trailing behind.

"Braedon wanted round two, huh?" He started, a face splitting grin on his face.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh come on, Cal. You reek of sex. Not to mention those little hickeys I see." He giggled. poking my neck with his index finger.

"Stop it." I slapped his hand away, but he immediately returned it back and began assaulting my neck again.

"Just admit that you guys fucked and I'll stop."

"Wow Ash, you've become so vulgar. Maybe you should stop hanging out with Michael, he's tainting you."

"On a scale of 1-10, how good?"

"Nine." I answered easily.

"Maybe I need to pay her a visit myself." He turned on his heels, going back towards Braedon's house.

"Ashton, wait."

Ashton and I were too engrossed in our conversation causing us to miss the turn to my house.

I had lived here for roughly a month, but I hadn't explored much, so I wasn't familiar with many of the places.

"We're lost, aren't we?" He said, reading my mind.

"Definitely."

...

Fifteen minutes later, Ashton and I were wandering aimlessly, trying to look for any familiar landmarks.

"Just call her. We have no idea where we are and I'm cold." Ashton pouted.

He had been practically begging me to call Bradeon and ask her to come pick us up.

"She's probably sleeping already."

"So what?! I'm cooooold!" He began whining again.

"Why are you whining? It's your fault anyway! If you weren't concerned about my sex life then we would have turned the corned and I could be in my bed having sexy dreams about Braedon!"

We continued to shout at each other and I had to restrain myself from wrapping my hands around Ashton's neck and strangling him.

"Looks like someone's a little lost." A third voice said.

"Olivia! Oh my god am I glad to see you."

Her choice of clothing had me a little taken aback. She had on dress as red as wine and I would be lying to myself if I said she didn't look stunning. But it was a week night so I'm pretty sure she wasn't out partying.

"The feeling's mutual, Calum. Now, would you like to tell me why you two are wandering the streets at 3am?" She looked between Ashton and I, who hadn't said a word since the woman arrived. I didn't have to look over to know he was too busy inspecting her body to bother to speak.
