Chapter 9

When we got back to the hotel Ashton and Luke were waiting, worried.

When we walked through the door Ashton hugged me tightly and Luke hugged Calum.

I pulled away from Ashton and my eyes wondered over to Luke and Cal who were still hugging. Luke's eyes were already looking at me. It made me uncomfortable but I shrugged it off.

When they pulled away Ash and Cal hugged. Me and Luke stood there looking at each other. I slowly shuffled over to him and wrapped my arms around him. At first he didn't hug me back, he was suprised.

Then his arms slowly pulled me closer to him.

When I pulled away, the other three were staring at us, bewildered.

Calums eyes were wide, Michaels mouth was hanging open, and Ashton tilted his head.

"Wait what?" Michael broke the silence.

"We can't hug?" I asked.

"No, we're just surprised," Ashton explained.

"Yeah," Calum seconded.

"Oh.." Luke trailed off as he stepped away from me, "Sorry."

I turned to look at him. My eyebrows furrowed together.

All the boys walked away and left me standing here with Luke.

I cleared my throat and walked away.

He followed me and the boys as we walked to sit down.

(A few hours later.)

We were all drunk like there was no tomorrow and playing truth or dare.

"Truth or dare?" Luke asked me.

"Dare," I slurred.

"Kiss Ash," He said.

I scooted closer to Ashton and kissed him. He kissed me back. I started to pull away but his hands pulled my lips back to his.

"Get it!" Michael chanted.

"Get a room," Luke teased.

I was yanked away by one of the boys.  When I looked at who it was I automatically glared at him. Calum.

"Don't be a party pooper," I groaned, pulling my hand away from his.

He rolled his eyes and walked away. I shrugged and turned my attention back to the game.

After a few more hours of kissing, and confessing, we all decided to stop playing.

Michael and Ashton were passed out. Calum was in his room and me and Luke were watching TV.

I got up and walked out off the hotel room. My bags were still in Ash and Cal's room so I walked over there and knocked on the door. The door opened a few moments later. Calum let me in and I searched the room for my suit case.

"Looking for this?" Calum spoke.

He was holding up my suitcase.

I nodded.

"Kiss me and I'll give it to you," He said.

"No," I stated.

His eyes narrowed.

I grabbed my bags and started to walk out the door. He grabbed my wrist and spun me around.

"Why did you kiss Ashton?" He asked.
