Calum and I broke away immediately.

“What the fuck happened in here?” Ashton repeated, lifting Calum’s T-shirt off from the counter as though it was contaminated.

“What does it look like?”

“It looks like you two just had some very wild sex."

“NO!” Calum and I yelled at the same time.

“What makes you think that?” Calum exclaimed.

“Well you two are both missing articles of clothing and your hairs are like sex hair and you two were also making out. So if you didn’t have sex then what did you two do?”

“We had a food fight,” Calum explained.

“And I didn't get to join?" Ashton said, crestfallen.

"So you're back from writing?"

"Yeah, Luke will be back soon too."

“Alright, you guys keep talking, I’m taking a shower.”

I headed to the bathroom and then had a nice warm shower. I’d only just put on my bra and underwear when the door opened again and Luke stepped in. For a split second neither of us comprehended what was happening and then we realised what was going on.

“FUCK SORRY! SHIT I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE IN HERE!” he yelled while I grabbed a towel and tried to cover myself up. I managed to secure the towel around me and I gave a sigh of relief.

Luke seemed to be rooted on the spot his eyes still wide. I was going to move forwards and push him out but I slipped on a puddle of water. I grabbed the sink to balance myself. I didn't fall over but the towel around me did slip off. Luke who was very red in the face turned around and yanked the door open, however, he ended up colliding with Calum.

“OW! SHIT!”

“Sorry! What was going on? I heard you guys yelling and I-“ He looked behind Luke and saw me. I still hadn’t covered myself properly with the towel and Calum’s eyes basically bulged out of its sockets. “HOLY FUCK!” he turned around immediately but there appeared to be another wet patch because he slipped and pushed Luke over as well. The two boys landed at my feet and then stood up straight almost immediately.

“Guys what’s with all the fucking noise?” Ashton appeared out of nowhere.

“Nothing for you to see!” Calum spun him the other way and marched back to the living room with Luke bringing up the rear.

I quickly dressed and went back in the living room. I was never going to leave so much water all over the place after a shower ever again.

“That never happened,” I said flatly.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Luke said, catching on.

“Yeah, dunno what you’re talking about,” Calum nodded. "But please, must you be so similar to Luke and leave water everywhere?"

"I have sworn to myself that will never happen again."

“Seriously guys what happened?” Ashton asked.

“Nothing!” we three exclaimed.

“You’re touring for One Direction?!” I jumped onto the couch behind Michael, startling him.

“Just found out did you?”

“Yeah! Why didn’t you tell me?!”

“Because I figured you should find out with everyone else,” he shrugged.
