Chapter 11

An hour later the director called us back for action. We were still laughing and flirting, going crazy. I have to tell you, the three other girls and Michael, Luke and Ashton were going wild. Me and Calum of course not, I was still happily in love with Austin. But I didn't mind him flirting with me at all. Of course I would never give in on him, but you know, I kind of liked it.

The dancing went really good, there were only 3 shootings needed for everything to be alright. We had more than two hours left before it was supposed to end and the guys asked if we wanted to hang out. I was hesitant at first, but they persued me with the excuse that I hadn't got anything else to do, since I was normally still dancing on the scene.

We walked into a little cosy café nearby the studio, a place that Laura had recommended. She was right: I had a strawberry milkshake, but it was definitely the best I ever had. The boys all took one with banana flavour, I already noticed that these guys had a weird obsession with bananas. It was pretty funny. The girls also took milkshakes, just like the rest of us, but all with different flavours.

There were another few hours talking and laughing, goofing around with each other and of course: flirting. You could feel the sparks fly in that room and the chemistry was unstopable. I was there to recieve the compliments that Calum gave me, but I didn't really gave them back. After lunch I realised that what I was doing was wrong. I felt like I was cheating on Austin and that was the last thing I wanted to do. I love him, for no money in the world I would want to lose him. Besides, he was probably just flirting with me, cause there were no other girls in the room that he could get to: the others were occupied by his friends. Why would he want a girl like me, when he can get those who are one thousand times prettier?

On a certain moment the flirting had come to the place where the topic of relationships came by and where everybody had to talk about his love life, including every single detail of it.

"- So Chloe, what about your love life?" Mikey asked me wiggling his eyebrows. Still being the only one in a relationship, I was the victim every single time.

"- What is there to say about it? I love him, he loves me, even though we don't see each other much.

- You know what I mean." He giggled.

"- Come on Mikey, she barely knows us, you can't force her to tell every single detail about her love life." Calum tried to rescue me.

"- Yes, she does. She's our friend now." It kind of shocked me. They saw me as their friend? I was good enough to be friends with 5 Seconds of Summer. " You know, I can be very persuasive if I want to." He smirked. I had the feeling in my guts that he was not going to give up. I was still hesitating. Okay, I know them a bit better now and those girls too, but should I be telling them this? I mean: we don't know each other for that long yet, so they can still, I don't know, get back on me with this? Eventually Luke and Ashton were also putting some pressure on me and I gave in.

"- You don't have to do this." It actually surprised me that Calum didn't want to know. He seemed like the kind of guy that was 'into' things like this.

"- It's okay, Calum. I've got the feeling that your friends won't give up on me. What do you want to know?

- Did you do it already?" Although I saw this coming, my cheeks turned red after all. My shyness was not very helpful at this point.

"- Maybe... Maybe not..." I was about to stutter, but I could just stop myself. Was I really telling them this?

"- Ohhhhhhhhh, red cheeks are coming! Our little lady isn't a virgin anymore!

- Mikey, turn down your volume please!" Calum hissed between his teeth. He did seem angry. Was this really such a difficult point for him?

"- How did you do it? Like standard? Or in special forms?
