Chapter 5

“Shane!” Someone taps me on the shoulder, breaking me out of my deep slumber. “Wake up” they repeat for the tenth time.“Fine, I’m up” I groan.

“Your phone won’t shut up” Amy says and throws my phone onto my chest.

“Thanks” I say sarcastically and place my arm over my eyes to shield the light. My phone went off again. I press ignore and look at the time. It was almost one in the afternoon. Dan had called me twice, Adrienne about 12 times and a call from an unknown number. “Leave me alone” I whine.

“Maybe if you just answered they would.” I turn over so I was no longer facing my annoying roommate. “I’m going to the library. I’ll see you tonight.” I wave my hand, not bothering to answer her verbally.

I call back Adrienne first. “Thank god!” she screams into the receiver.

“No” I whine. “Inside voices. I’m hung over.”

“I’m down the hall. I’m coming to your room now.”“You’re where? Oh my god Adrienne” I laugh realizing that she went home with Michael.

“I know. Shut up. Let me in.” I manage to make it out of my bed and stumble my way to the door in the common room.

“Well you look like absolute shit” she greets me ever so nicely.

“Thanks bitch” I say and slap her ass as she walked by me. “So Michael, huh?”

“Three times last night Shane. Three times.”

“You bad girl” I tease.

“And what about you and Ashton? I saw him come in last night.”

“We had a … good night, I guess.”

“You have sex hair still. I know you had a good night.”

I didn’t want to ask but I had to. “Did he say anything?”

She just shrugged. “Not really. He kind of just screamed at Calum to open the door. Calum’s girl left when Ashton started pounding on the door and he passed out in his bed.”

“Oh” is all I say back.

“You are totally crushing on him” she pokes my side and I want to slap her across the face.

“Am not” I shoot back. “He’s just, I don’t know, he so infuriating.”“Do tell.” She sat with her legs crossed with her cheeks resting in her hands.

“I can’t read him. One minute he’s a dick then he’s coming on to me. At first he says that he must have been drunk to sleep with me and then is stopping other guys from bringing me home.”“Ohhh, like who?”

“Um.” I’m not sure if I want to tell her that I almost went home with Frankie last night. “Just this guy I met at the bar. But then he shows up and scares the other guy off. I think he started fighting with me last night.” I try to remember what happened after we left the bar but my mind was a little cloudy then. I remember saying that I regretted sleeping with him, which was a complete lie but it sparked something in him. “Enough about me. Tell me about Michael” I cheer.

“It was… fun” she shrugs. “And I will definitely be doing that again. Tonight. You think he’ll go out on a Sunday night?”

“I don’t know. Just ask him.”“Come with me” she begs.

“I can’t.”

“And why not?”

“I might have a date tonight” I trail off.

“With who?”

“Dan” I admit.

“Really Shane? Dan of all people.” I know she’s mad at me for it but it’s not like it is anything too serious.

“What? We’re friends. And it’s a free meal. I’m sorry but I’m a broke college student. Anything is better than easy mac.”

“So what are you going to wear?”

“Jeans and a sweater” I shrug.

“Good. So you don’t care that much about this date.”“It’s barely a date.”

“Does he know that?”

“Yes” I say and stand up. “I’ll be back.”“Where are you going?”

“I need a guy’s perspective.” So naturally I go to the guy’s room. I will talk to any of them. Well anyone except for Ashton who I hope won’t be there. “Hello?”

“Hey Shane” Calum waves.

“Perfect” I smile and plop down next to him on the couch. “Can I ask you something?”

“No I will not help you get into Ashton’s pants” he jokes. I roll my eyes and shove him.

“No. Okay so you remember that guy Dan from the other night?”“The one that Ashton re-arranged his face?” he laughs.

“Yeah that one. He wants to take me to dinner tonight to apologize.”

“Okay and?”

“Is Luke here?” I ask him when I realize that Calum isn’t going to be any help. He’s not serious enough for advice.

“Okay, I’m sorry. Please go on.”

“Dan and I have been friends since freshmen year. I don’t even know if he’s in to me but I don’t want to lead him on.”

“Then why are you going on a date with him?”

“It’s not a date. It’s dinner but I don’t want him to think anything of it.”“Then why are going?” Calum asks like I should already know the answer.

“Because he’s my friend. And he’s nice when he’s not drunk. And I want free dinner” I pout.

“Then go.”

“You are literally no help.” He shrugs and goes back to playing his game as Luke walks through the door.

“Oh thank god” I breathe and pull Luke onto the couch with me. “I need your help.”

“I have a lot of work to do” Ashton peeks out of his room. Shit. I didn’t know he was here. “It doesn’t matter what he wants I know you’ll be in my bed shortly after” he smirks and slams his door shut.

“Shut up! No I won’t” I scream against the closed door. “I’ll see you guys later.”

I left their room more confused than I was before. Should I go with Dan? He did owe me from the other night. I am pretty positive he has no feelings towards me. I know he wants to get with me and I’ll admit that I am physically attracted to him. I’m just not into him in that way.

I am over thinking this way too much. I shower and get ready for dinner. Like I told Adrienne before I just wore jeans and a sweater. I want to come off as casual. If this were a real a date I would have put much more effort into it.

Dan knocks on my door at 8. “Ready?” he asks and leads me out to his car. He doesn’t hold open the door but I didn’t expect him to. Stop over thinking this Shane.

“I really am sorry about the other night Shane” he says again only two minutes into our meal. “I know Dan. Let’s not talk about it.” I don’t want to spend all night talking about something so stupid. Justice was served when Ashton kicked his ass. “How’s class?”“It’s all right. Being a bio major isn’t the most interesting thing. What about you? Fashion all it’s cracked up to be?”

“Pretty much. It’s a lot of work but I love it.”

The rest of dinner was spent talking about friends and campus life. Dan paid for dinner and I’ll admit that I had a good time. Dan and I never hung out alone before and it wasn’t too bad.

“You busy tonight?” I ask him when he starts driving back towards campus.

“Nope.”“Adrienne is down at O’Malley’s and she wants me to meet her.”“Oh” he sighs.

“Want to join us?” His smile brightens and he agrees to come with me.

I find Adrienne at the bar and Dan follows me to where she is. “Shane” she cheers and wraps her arms around me. She is clearly drunk but Michael seems to be taking good care of her.

“Oh my god you reek of tequila.”

“And you reek of boring” she pokes my nose and stumbles into me laughing.

“Is this what it’s like to deal with me when I’m drunk?”

“Yes” everyone responds in unison. I roll my eyes and finish off the rest of Adrienne’s drink. When I put down the glass I notice a pair of eyes on me. Of course since Luke, Calum and Michael are here so is Ashton. Except this time he has a girl wrapped in his arm grinding on the other side of the bar. I try to ignore it but I feel a hint of jealousy coursing through my veins.

“You okay?” Luke whispers in my ear when he sees the sad look on my face when I turn back to the bar.

“Great” I say sarcastically.

“That’s just how he is. Different girl every night. I wouldn’t take it personally.”

“I’m not.” But I was. “I hate him” I groan as I finish off another drink.

I try my best to ignore what is happening behind me. Every so often I catch a glimpse of Ashton kissing her neck or running his hand down her back. I couldn’t help but wish that was me and I hated the feeling.

Three more drinks and I was almost on Adrienne’s level. “Earth to Shane” Calum waves his hand in front of my face. I turn my head to face him. “Did you hear me?”

“Nope” I say, popping the ‘p’.

“We have a gig coming up soon. You going to come?”

“Sure. I’ll be there.” I didn’t realize just how out of the conversation I was. Ashton should not be clouding my mind like this. “Hey Luke” I call and he walks over to me. His hand is on the back of my barstool as I lean into him. “Want to dance with me?” I would ask Dan but I don’t want anything to happen like last time. Especially since I know he’s had at least 5 drinks since we’ve been here.

“I don’t really dance.”

“I’ll do all the work.”

“You are not using me to make Ashton jealous” he says a little pissed off. “It won’t even work” he rolls his eyes. I glare at him and order another drink. I hate that Ashton can play this game. And I don’t even want to be playing this game. It was a one-night stand. Okay, maybe a two time thing but that’s it. I am done with Ashton Irwin. Settled.

“Is that?” I hear Dan ask. “That’s him. Isn’t it?” he asks Adrienne.

“Who?”

“That dick that did this to me.” I could see the fury written on Dan’s face. His eyes were dead set on Ashton. Great. He pushes Michael out of the way and makes a b-line straight to Ashton. He pulls Ashton from the girl and fists Ashton’s shirt in his hand.

Ashton is quick to respond and pushes Dan back. The bouncers see the commotion and immediately the two of them are thrown out. Calum and Luke run out of the bar to calm down their friend. I finish my drink as Michael pulls Adrienne towards the exit.

“I guess I’ll go too” I sigh, talking only to myself and pay the rest off my tab. When I get outside Dan has Ashton pinned up against the brick wall. I see blood on both their knuckles and faces. “Stop!” I shout even though Michael and Calum are trying to pull them off each other.

I do what I think is best at the time and stomp over to them. They both ignore me as I continually yell at them to stop. Now Ashton has Dan against the wall and his fist collides with his face.

“Ashton!” I yell but it does no good. I grab his arm to prevent him from swinging at Dan again and in the mix I get thrown back. Luke catches me before I fall to the ground. Ashton turns back to me, anger in his eyes.

“Stupid fucking girls” he groans.

“Ash, just calm down. Let’s go home” Calum tries to tell his roommate. But of course you never tell an angry person to calm down.“I am calm” he shouts back. “And he came after me. I swear I will kill this guy” he threatens.

“I’d love to see you try” Dan eggs him on then spits blood onto the pavement. He has such a pretty face to have this many cuts and bruises.

“Why the fuck are you two fighting anyway?” I scream. “Neither of you care about me and yet you are fighting over me.”“I am not fighting over you” Ashton says through his teeth.

“Payback” Dan shrugs.

“Fine. Fucking kill each other for all I care. I’m going to sleep.” I ignore everyone and start heading back towards campus. I’ve had enough of this night and I have class early tomorrow.

By the time I get back to my room Amy has the door locked. I hate when she does this. If on weeknights I am not back by the time that she wants to go to bed she locks the door so I don’t wake her. The only nice thing she does is put my comforter and pillow on the couch. But tonight I want a comfy bed.

I slowly walk down the hall hoping that someone is in their room. Luckily the door is open. I look at Michael and Luke’s side of the room and then at Ashton and Calum’s side. I didn’t know which door to knock on. I knew Adrienne probably dragged Michael home with her so his bed is most likely open. And I really don’t want to see Ashton.

I lightly tap on Luke’s door and I hear some shuffling. “Shane” he says surprised.

“Can I stay here?” I ask him.

“You okay?” he asks concerned.

“I’m fine. My roommate locked me out.”“Of course.” Just as I go to step into his room the common door room flies open and drunk Ashton and Calum stumble in the room. I guess they went out some more after the brawl.

“What the fuck is she doing here?” Ashton yells. I shoot him a look and fold my arms across my chest.

“I’ll grab you something comfortable to sleep in” Luke says.

“She’s not staying here. Get the fuck out.” I ignore him as I take a seat on the couch. Calum shakes his head and goes into his room. “Why are you still here?!” he screams in my face.

“Will you please just shut the fuck up” I say and place my hand on my forehead. Is it too soon to have a hangover?Luke emerges from his room with a pair of sweats and one of his t-shirts. He hands me two Tylenol and a bottle of water. “Figured you needed it.” I thank him and swallow the pills. Why couldn’t I have just hooked up with Luke first? He’s the kind of guy that I should be going after. Not some angry lunatic.

Not caring that either of them are staring at me, I pull my sweater over my head and put on Luke’s shirt. Luke turns around as I unbutton my jeans and step out of them. Ashton’s eyes are on me as I slide Luke’s pants up my leg.

“You’re so quick to fuck him, aren’t you? Fucking me one night than my roommate the next. Don’t worry Calum” he calls. “She’ll schedule you in tomorrow.” I couldn’t stop myself. The back of my hand smacked his face. He turns towards me, more anger present on his face than there was before. I didn’t cower back as most girls would have. He wouldn’t physically hurt me.

Instead he grabs me by the wrist and pulls me out of his room, dragging me down the hall. “I just needed somewhere to stay” I fight back.

“Why?”

“Psycho locked me out.” Like a flip of the switch he stops walking and releases me from his tight grasp.

“So you’re weren’t there to fuck Luke?” He has more mood swings than a woman in her first trimester. I roll my eyes and shake me head. “No. I wasn’t there to sleep with your roommate. I only want to stay in Michael’s bed so I wouldn’t have to sleep on that horrible futon. But since we’re here now. What the hell is your problem?”

“My problem?” And just like that the switch is flipped again. Back to angry Ashton. I guess I never know which one I’m going to get. He changes every five seconds.

“You couldn’t possibly like me so why are you trying to keep every guy away from me?”“I’m not. I don’t care if you fuck Luke.”

“Oh good. In that case” I turn around and start running towards his room. Ashton’s hands are quickly on my hips and he spins me around. His lips come crashing down on mine as he presses me against the wall. I have no control over my body. Without my brain’s consent, my legs wrap around his waist.

I can feel that stupid grin of his on my lips. He knows the he has won. His hands find my ass and gives it a squeeze.

His hands cup my sex and he can feel just how wet I am underneath them. “You really want Luke right now?”

“Where’s that girl from before?” I pull back.

“If you didn’t sick your dog on me than I would be kicking her out of my room right about now.”

“Always so charming” I laugh and reattach our lips. He carries me back to his room and Calum rolls his eyes.

“Couch” Ashton tells him.

“No” I say. “I’ll sleep on the couch.”

“I’m not doing it on the couch” Ashton retaliates.

“We’re not doing it” I mock.

“I’ll be in Michael’s bed. It’s fine. Just keep it down. I hate when Ashton squeals like a pig when he comes” he laughs.

I have to cover my mouth to keep in my laugh.  Ashton shoots his roommate a death glare and gives him the finger.

I wink at Calum and follow Ashton to his room. “We need to get these off of you. You are not wearing Luke’s clothes.”“Aw Ashton” I coo. “You only want me to wear your clothes” I joke.

“I prefer no clothes” he cocks an eyebrow and reaches for the hem of Luke’s shirt. Within seconds he strips all of Luke’s clothes from my body and has them in his hand as he walks across the common room and knocks on Luke’s door. Luke has an angry, maybe even jealous look on his face when Ashton throws his clothes at him.

“Really?” He looks at me all hot and bothered when my clothes are on when he gets back to his room.

“I told you we are not sleeping together.”

“I have a busted lip and a few bruises because of you. The least you can do is make it up to me.” I roll my eyes and sit on his bed. “Stop playing hard to get.”“A girls got to try, right?” He crawls on to the bed, pushing my legs apart with his knees.

“So you’re saying you don’t want me to touch you?” He has a more playful tone now as he runs his hand up my thigh. I shake my head no but bite my lip. I buck my hips to meet his. He pushes them down forcefully, growling as his lips suck on my neck. “So no sex?” he chuckles against my neck.

“Fine.”“Not the usual response I get from girls.” I push him back and he has an irritated look on his face. That quickly fades when I climb on to his lap. I kiss him hard, biting his lower lip. He winces due to his busted lip. “Sorry” I giggle. “Let me make it up to you.” I slide down his body, hoping that he doesn’t reject me like last time. I’m not as drunk as last night. And since this will be the last time I am in his bed or doing anything sexual with him I at least want to know what he tastes like first. No more drunken nights with him I promise myself. I have more respect for myself than this. There are guys out there who will treat me way better than Ashton is capable. Tonight is it.

I unbutton his jeans and pull them and his boxers down his legs. Impatient, he kicks them off and pulls his shirt over his head. I always forget how hot his body is.

I start pumping his hard cock painfully slow. He inhales deeply as I take him in my mouth, working my tongue around him. I take it as far as I can, using my hand to stroke the rest of him. “Come on baby. I know you can take more.” Just the way the word ‘baby’ rolls of his lips makes me want to please him more.

I fight my gag reflex as I take more of him. He grunts in response and I hollow my cheeks to go faster.

I ran my tongue over the vein running along his dick. “I want to fuck you” he says between breaths. I ignore him and go faster, if it’s even possible. He pulls me by the elbows and flips me over so I’m beneath him. My jeans are off and he is spreading my legs.

I ran my fingers through his hair as he kisses down my thigh. I’ve been anticipating this since he stopped the last time. I have since been wondering what his tongue would feel like pressed against me. Oh. Oh shit. Only two seconds in and it’s the best I’ve ever had. No guys tongue has very felt so good down there.

I started moaning as his tongue flicked my clit and his fingers dipped inside me. “Ashton” I cry out. I feel him smile against me. He had me so turned on that I could lose it this quickly. My legs started to shake, tightening around his head. He pushes my thighs further apart, moving his tongue at a mind-blowing rate. “Oh my god” I scream and he stops. I whine but seconds later his has my hands pinned above my head, his fingers wrapped tightly around his as he  dives deep inside me.

“Fuck” I say out of breath as he hits my g-spot. My eyes are clenched shut and all I can focus on is how good my body feels with his pressed against it.

“Thought you didn’t want this” he smiles as I lie there in pure ecstasy allowing him to do whatever he wants to my body. I pull him down and start kissing him again to make him shut up. It’s like he wants me to regret this, which I’m sure I will in the morning when he turns back to his normal self.

He starts pounding me harder and faster and I feel him stiffen inside me. Ashton spills out inside me, ending with a low grunt. Definitely not a squealing pig. Maybe I am a little drunk and want to annoy Calum.

“Oh my god Ashton!” I scream louder than I should. “Oh, hmm, ohhh” I continue to moan and Ashton looks at me like I’m nuts as I cum around him. I let out a loud sigh. “Loud enough for him?” I laugh.

“I’m pretty sure the two of them are getting themselves off to that right now” he shakes his head.

“Good.”

“Good? I don’t want them getting off to you.”

“You’re sweet” I smile.

“Sweet? Was that sweet to you?”

“Mhmm.”

“I’ll show you sweet” he groans and spreads my legs again.

“Ashton! No!” I giggle as he pushes back inside, painfully harder than before but still feeling so good. Fuck me. He has me hooked.
