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

Chapter 13

I woke up with Ashton's hand still on my stomach, my back still pressed against his chest, and his face buried in the crook of my neck with his heavy breathing sending shivers down my back.

I was cramping up in that position so I tried to turn as stealthily as I could to face him. Since he is such a deep sleeper he didn't move one bit. His hand was now on my back, my face was buried in his chest, his chin was resting on the top of my head, and our legs were twisted together.

I fell asleep for a few more hours until I was awoken again by Ashton removing himself from me. I groaned and tried to pull him back down.

"El, we have to get up; it's one," He whispered in a raspy voice. I sighed and sat up, brushing a few strands of hair out of my face. We walked downstairs to see Calum moving around in the kitchen and Michael laying across the couch. Ashton walked into the kitchen and I went into the living room.

I didn't even ask, I just plopped onto the couch with Michael and he wrapped an arm around me to keep me from falling off. He was watching old episodes of Pokémon. I was never really into Pokémon but I didn't say anything and watched it anyway.

"Guys! Oh my god guys!" Luke came storming downstairs. He almost tripped over his feet as he came into the living room. Calum and Ashton followed behind him.

"You'll never believe what Jim just called and told me!" Luke exclaimed. I looked at Michael confused.

"Jim is our manager." He read my mind.

"Well, he called and told me that One Direction wanted us to tour with them!" He nearly screamed.

"What!? That's crazy mate!" Ashton screeched. Michael and Calum were speechless.

"That's awesome guys!" I squealed.

"And," Luke continued, "they know we have Lauren and they said she could come on tour with us!" He said the news I really wanted to hear. All the boys' face lit up.

"I say we need to celebrate." I told them. They all nodded. We agreed on going out to eat and then going to Starbucks for dessert.

I was upstairs taking a shower and running a razor over my legs. I dressed in a navy blue with white polka-dots skirt and a white shirt with a lace design on the back. I kept my hair the same as always, straight with super straight bangs.

I walked downstairs to the boys and they were dressed a little nicer than normal. We headed out and I was squished against Ashton and Michael. Calum was driving and Luke was sat in the passengers.

I didn't recognize the restaurant we pulled up to but the boys assured me it was good. We walked inside and was seated almost instantly. Thankfully my pains haven't been a bother at all today and I was very hungry due to the lack of food I have had.

The waiter had taken our orders and they came out about fifteen minutes later.

"Mm, this is amazing." I said as I swallowed the piece of semi-fancy grilled chicken I had in my mouth. A ton of "I told you so"'s were thrown at me. This place is in the middle of being fancy and casual. You can't wear a dress you would wear to a restaurant that has chicken costing 60 dollars but you also can't wear what you would wear to McDonalds.

"This is an amazing moment. We need a picture." Ashton said as he pulled out his phone. He held it high and we all squished to get in it. After he took it he posted it to his 360k followers on Instagram.

. . .

When we were home from dinner I pulled out my phone and scrolled through Instagram. I saw the picture of the boys and us at dinner and saw that it was also posted to the 5sos account. All the comments were either: "I love you!" or "You guys are hot" or "Who is the girl!?"

"What are you going to tell your fans about me?" I asked and looked up at Luke. We were all sitting in the living room and my back was pressed up against Luke's chest and he was gently massaging my stomach. The other three were sitting on the other couch watching a show.

"Um," Luke pondered, "I don't think we should tell them much about you." He came up with.

"Yeah, if the public found out why we got you shit can go down." Calum chuckled a little. I nodded, understanding their decisions.

"Do you want to spend tonight with me? You didn't on my night." Luke pouted, his lip ring very distinct. I smiled and nodded up at him. He's so adorable when he pouts, how could I have said no?

We started watching 21 Jump Street and we were in fits of laughter. I could feel Luke's stomach muscles tense on my back every time he laughed. He finally got tired of rubbing my stomach so he just rested his hand there. I placed my hand on top of his and he kissed the top of my head sweetly.

When the movie was over Luke grabbed me and pulled me up to his chest and he stood up. I was hanging onto his neck while he carried me bridal style up to his room.

He set me down and tossed me a shirt of his. I turned around so my back was to him and ripped off my shirt and placed his on. I slid my shorts down my legs and climbed into his bed with him. He has already seen me in my bra so I really didn't care about changing in front of him.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close.

"I'm so glad you can go on tour with us." He whispered as he tucked a piece if my hair behind my ear and his hand traveled down my side, resting on my hip.

"Me too." I whispered back, about to fall asleep.

"Everything's been more fun with you here." He smiled a cheeky smile. I reached my head up and pecked him on the cheek, dangerously close to his lips. He smiled again and pulled me into his chest, allowing me to fall asleep safely in his arms.
