Who Knew? // 5SOS [ #Wattys 2015 ]

Chapter 3

After I completely failed at FIFA the boys got some sort of fast food and we had dinner. Tonight was a free night thankfully, I can't handle being raped every night in a row.

After dinner I headed up to my room and flopped on my bed. For some reason, I actually miss my dad. Yeah he was terrible but he kept a roof over my head and gave me food.

I changed into some pjs and climbed into bed.

. . .

I sprung up, having beads of sweat on my forehead. Damn it, the nightmares are starting up again. After my mom died I had terrible nightmares.

I looked around the room and grabbed Ashton's shirt, bringing it up to my nose and inhaling the scent. It calmed me down but I needed the real thing. This made me look really babyish but I couldn't help it. I walked out of my room and creaked down the hallway at two am.

I slowly opened Ashton's door and he stirred before sitting up.

"Lauren?" He asked and I answered with a sniffle. He swung his legs over and rushed over to me throwing his arms around me. I put my head in his chest and wrapped my arms around him and cried.

He picked me up and brought me to his bed and we laid together.

"What's up?" He asked brushing hairs out of my face.

"I-I had a nightmare." I cried. His grip got tighter on me.

"Sh, it's okay." He cooed, "What was it about?" He asked.

"Th-the car crash." I stuttered before breaking down into sobs while reliving the memories. He let me sob into his bare chest for a few more minutes before I calmed down.

"Sorry for bothering you, I know this is really babyish," I sighed.

"No, no, no. This is okay, this is what I wanted. To make you feel okay." Ash whispered before kissing my head.

"Thanks Ash," I smiled into his chest.

"No problem Lauren." He whispered again and I slowly drifted off to sleep.

. . .

I woke up to an empty bed. Soon I came to my senses and noticed that the shower was running. Soon it turned off and I hid my face in the pillow and acted as if I was asleep.

Ashton walked out in just a towel. His hair was wet, water droplets were glistening on his skin from the light coming through the window and all in all he was gorgeous. Not to mention his abs of course.

I shifted around in the bed, trying to act like I was still asleep. I looked up slightly, to see him looking over at me from the corner of his eyes, then returning to dressing.

After a minute I felt a cough come up. No, no not now! He will definitely know I am awake!

I couldn't hold it and I ended up coughing, causing Ashton to look back at me and his towel almost falling off. He smiled lightly.

"If you want to see, all you have to do is ask." He smirked. I shoved my face in the pillow to hide my major blush.

"I didn't mean too Ashton. I'm sorry," I groaned.

"It's fine Lauren," He laughed. I covered my eyes so he could continue changing.

"You can look now," I could tell he was smiling in the back of my mind. I looked up and he was towel drying his hair, still shirtless. Is he trying to kill me?

"I'm going downstairs." I sighed and started to get up.

"Not like that your not." He said seriously. I looked down at my attire, a spaghetti strap tank top and spandex shorts.

"Why?" I asked.

"The boys, more than just morning wood will kick in. You in your booty shorts and a shirt showing off your perfect body. Also, not to mention your hair in a messy bun is adorable." He told me causing me to blush a little more.

"Here," He said as he tossed me a brown and white, ripped up, half sleeve Nirvana tee that is supposed to be tight but when I put it on over my clothes it was a little baggy. I smiled at him and walked down the stairs.

When I went downstairs I saw just Calum.

"Uh, hi," I squeaked out. He looked over his shoulder at me.

"Hey, babe," He smiled and I walked over to him. I'm not sure if I can trust him. I sat down on the couch and he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me to him.

"Who's shirt is this?" He asked. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to rat Ashton and I out.

"Uh-"

"I gave it to her after our night." Ashton interrupted me. Honestly I didn't mind.

"Just saying, you look really sexy in it, but you would look sexier in mine." Calum told me. I giggled a fake giggle and looked over at Ash. He gave me apologetic eyes.

"Thank God it's my night." He breathed into my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

"Hey Lauren, can you make some breakfast again?" Michael asked as him and Luke ran down the stairs and into the living room.

"Yeah, sure," I said quickly then shuffled into the kitchen. I pulled out instant pancake mix from the pantry and I also got some bacon.

While I was pouring the mix into a bowl I felt arms wrap around me.

"You don't have to cook today, the boys will order pizza." I felt Calum's hot breath hit the back of my neck. He turned me around and lifted me up on the counter so we were the same height.

He spread my legs gently so he could stand in between them, leaning up against the counter top. He twirled a little piece of hair that has fallen out of my bun in between his fingers.

"Your gorgeous, you know that?" He smirked. I couldn't answer for the life of me, so I just shook my head no and looked down at my lap.

"Well you are." He whispered as he grabbed my chin and lifted my head up to meet his. Our lips touched and we kissed. He had plump lips, just perfect.

He kissed down my jaw, then my neck. He searched and searched for my sweet spot. When he found it I bit my lip to hold back my moan but that did nothing.

He smirked on my skin and sucked on it, definitely leaving a mark. He soon moved back to my lips.

Instead of having my arms on the counter, I leaned forward and held Calum's face in my tiny hands. He smiled lightly on my lips and he moved Ashton's shirt and my tank top up slightly, lying his cold hands on my bare skin. It sent shivers all over.

"Cold?" He whispered on my lips. I nodded my head, looking up to see his brown eyes staring into my brown eyes. He then closed them, leaning in slightly to reconnect our lips fully.

After a minute I heard someone walk into the kitchen. That didn't stop Calum though, what stopped him was when Luke said, "Stop sucking faces, do that later. Pizza's here."

Calum smiled and walked away from me, leaving me on the counter wondering what just went down. Everyone got food and went back into the living room and I was still sat on the counter.

"C'mon Lauren, get some pizza." Ashton said as he set down his plate and lifted me off the counter, placing me on the ground.

"Did you see what just went down?" I asked Ash, walking over to grab a plate.

"What? No, what happened?" He asked curious.

"Calum happened," I answered while placing a piece of pizza on my plate. He came over to me, not asking further questions and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Lauren, tell me if the boys do anything to you, okay?" Ash told me.

"Okay," I nodded. We walked into the living room, catching all the boys' attention.

"Do you guys have something going on or something? You're always together." Michael scoffed.

"Well, I just know him the best." I said.

"Not for long." Calum smirked.
