Calum's p.o.v

—What were you doing? -Ashton asks me as soon as I leave my bedroom-

—What? I can't shower? -I laugh-

—I told youuuu! -Madeleine says amusingly-

—The woman knows her man -Michael laughs and Madeleine rolls her eyes-

—Better: women come with a common sense integrated to their brain... Unlike men -she sassily says, arching an eyebrow. We all laughed at her comment-

—I hate you -Michael jokes- you're lucky you're the mother of Wyatt so I have to love you a little bit

—Oh, you only love her because of Wyatt? -I put a hand on my chest acting offended-

—Sorry mate, but Wyatt stole your spot at my heart a while ago

—Well -I shrug- at least my spot was stolen by someone who came out of my body -I say and Michael's face now showed disgust-

—You two, shut up -Madeleine says giggling but also with a weird face- do you want? -she asks pointing at a bag of Tostitos-

—I always want, babe -I wink at her-

—You deserve an award to the must perturbing comment of the year. I don't want to see Wyatt as someone who came out of your body, mate -Ashton growls making me laugh-

—Even though he came out of you while you were inside of me and then, he came out of me too, I don't want to think of my son as something that came out of you, Cal -She jokingly tease the other guys, knowing Madeleine and I were annoying them with our comments-

—Staaaaph -Luke begs with an expression of disgust-

Now Madeleine and I were laughing so much we couldn't control it, my stomach hurts as if I just did a round of abs

—You two are really made for each other, I hate you both -Michael says giggling-

—I'm gonna bring the salsas for the Tostitos -Madeleine says while cleaning a tear of laughter-

I admire her as she leaves to the kitchen until I'm interrupted

—How cute -Ashton knocks me out of my trance-

—What?

—Right? Love these lovebirds -Luke joins him-

—What are you talking about? Assholes -I laugh-

—We're talking about the fact that Madeleine and you live inside a love bubble. So does Michael and Crystal -Ashton says- you'll have to advice Luke and I with love stuff because we don't handle love very well

—Speak for yourself, mate -Luke says-

Michael and I looked at each other shocked, Ashton looks at Luke waiting for an explanation and Madeleine comes back to the living room with the salsas on her hand, putting them on the table that was in front of the couch

—Explain us, you and who? -Ashton's eyebrow was raised-

—Luke and who? -Madeleine asks raising her eyebrows in bemusement-

—Sierra

—Sierra? -I ask confused-

—Sierra?! -Now Madeleine's expression was pure surprise-

—Do you know Sierra? -I ask her, confused at who Sierra was-

—Of course, you know her too, babe. She's the brunette friends with Ariana -she looks at Luke now- but I want you to explain me how, why, when?
