CALUM.

The boys and I were all in a small dressing room getting ready for our photoshoot when Fran suddenly walked in without knocking.

"Well, look who it is!" Her voice rung out as the door swung open.

"Fran, what the fuck. Get out!" Michael screamed from a corner of the room, only wearing boxers. I broke out into laughter as he turned bright red, tripping over his feet from how quickly he was trying to put his pants on.

Fran just ignored him, casually walking further into the room. "Boys! Long time no see!" She walked towards us for hugs, making me laugh again at her carelessness as I embraced her tightly.

"Franny!" Ashton yelled loudly. "It's great to see ya." He went in for a more firm hug, although he wasn't wearing a shirt, as Luke joined in for a group hug, wrapping his arms around both of them and ruffling Fran's hair. She slapped his hand away, laughing and looking for Michael.

She treaded towards a bashful Michael, who was rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly, embarrassment coloring his cheeks. She opened her arms widely and wrapped them around him tightly. "C'mon Mike, you know I don't care. I've already seen you all naked at least twice." He chuckled and relaxed into the hug.

"Yeah, but a fair warning would've been appreciated."

She lightly patted his cheek before walking towards the couch and plopping down on it. We all looked at her incredulously as she casually took her phone out of her pocket.

"Uh, Fran, you're not staying in here while we get dressed are you?" Luke asked what I'm sure we were all wondering. "I mean, I know you've seen us naked and all, but that's just too awkward for this early in the morning."

"And I have a girlfriend!" Michael added.

"Oh, we know, Clifford." She stood up. "I'm not staying, I just wanted to see if you'd kick me out or not."

"And what if we didn't?" I asked attempting to wiggle my eyebrows.

She walked by and poked my ass. "That was for teasing."

"And I would've left." She added, skipping towards the door and opening it.

"You guys are hot!" She yelled. Luke and Ashton laughed and Michael was just shaking his head.

"Thanks!" I chuckled as she closed the door behind her.

"She's always been weird, that one," Ashton said. Just then, the door opened again, her head popping back in.

"Oh, and hurry up. You've got 5 minutes!"

She rotated her head to Ashton, narrowing her eyes into slits. "And I heard that Ashton." He put his hands up in defense as she shut the door again.

We all got finished getting dressed quickly and exited the room, walking into the big workshop area where there was loud music blasting through the speakers. Fran spotted us and tapped Andy, pointing at us. His eyes brightened when he saw us, causing my lips to turn up into a smile as he walked over, Fran trailing behind.
