Pretty Girls Lie

5am. Hope was out on the balcony, sitting by the infinity pool, looking at the city lights. Her knees were pressed to her chest and she was resting her head on them. An ashtray and an empty cigarette pack by her side, along with an empty wine bottle. She was wearing nothing but her black Calvin Klein underwear and a denim shirt, no buttons done. The guys got back a while ago but they all thought she needed some time alone, all except one.

- Hey. - Calum's voice, sweet as honey, spoke.

He was approaching her in nothing but his white Calvin Klein underwear. Well, it's not like they didn't see each other in a lot less.

Hope's neck and chest were covered in hickeys, Calum wasn't an exception.

- Hey. - She said without looking up.

- Are you alright? - He asked her.

- Mhm. - It was all she said.

- Mind if I join you?

She looked up at him and shook her head with a slight smile. He sat down beside her.

- I told Ashton we slept together. - She told him.

- Wha...how did he react? - Calum asked her.

- He was a little wierded out, but he said we're both adults and can do whatever we want. - Her voice was quiet.

- I wouldn't really call us adults. - They chuckled.

- I told him that. - Calum smiled at her words.

- About last night... - He spoke. - Do you remember if we used protection?

- I don't, but I took the day after pill...so don't worry about it. - He nodded slightly.

They were quiet for a while, listening to the traffic.

- Wait, so how did Mikey found out about our midnight sinning session? - Calum asked her with a goofy smile.

She smiled before answering. - He saw me sneaking out of your room.

Calum let out a small sigh. - Why did you sneak out? - He wasn't beating around the bush anymore.

They were looking at each others eyes.

- I don't know how to deal with anything... - She said. - I didn't know what to do next so...I left.

- Well, what do you want? - Calum moved a little closer to her.

They didn't break eye contact. Hope was quiet for a few seconds, Calum patiently awaiting her answer.

- You.

Calum looked down and smiled, his cheeks red. He started leaning in closer to her, but she stopped him with a hand on his chest.

- What about Nia? - She whispered, teasing him.

He laughed. - I'm sure she won't mind.

He started leaning in closer again, but Hope backed away and got up. Calum pouted, to which she chuckled. She went backwards a few steps, leaving enough room for Calum to get up as well and he did. She came closer to him. She was standing on her toes, their lips mere inches away. She put her hands on his chest. Just as their lips were about to touch she pushed him back and he fell into the pool. When he resurfaced Hope started laughing.

- You think this is funny? - Calum asked with a big grin on his face.

Hope couldn't stop laughing. He came out of the pool.

- This means war. - Calum said playfully.

She went backwards a few steps before turning around and starting to run. He ran after her. She was still laughing. Calum quickly caught up to her. He grabed her from behind, hugging her with his entire body. They were both cracking up. He quickly picked her up bridal style and started walking towards the pool.

- No! - She protested trough a giggle.

- Oh, you started the war, I'm just finishing it. - He said with a smile that made her heart melt.

He jumped into the water with her in his arms.

- Oh, I'm gonna kill you. - Hope said after they both resurfaced, with a smile that she couldn't hide even if she tried.

He chuckled. Calum swam closer to her. Their faces were once again mere inches away. He gently put his hand on her cheek and started leaning in even closer, but Hope had something different in mind. She gave him a quick peck on the lips and then dived into the water. She resurfaced in front of the ladder, his underwear in her hand.

- Hey! - Hope started laughing at Calum's face.

She climbed up the ladder and got out of the pool.

- You want to see me naked that badly? - Calum said with a smirk to which she rolled her eyes playfully. - For real tough, give me back my underwear.

- A-a. - She declined with a grin on her face. - Come and get it.

- Alright. - He said with a smirk and a few seconds later exited the pool.

Hope quickly turned her back to him.

- Alright, you win. - She started waving his underwear like a white flag to which he chuckled.

When she felt Calum closing in on her she turned around and jumped into the pool, his underwear still in her hand.

- Oh, you're playing dirty. - Calum said, Hope still wasn't facing him, he could just hear her giggling as she swam to the egde of the pool.

Calum jumped in as well. When he resurfaced he could see Hope holding his underwear over the egde, 89 floors up.

- What's your next move, superstar? - She asked him, her smile still not leaving her face.

Calum was swimming towards her with a goofy smile on his face. He stopped right in front of her.

- Careful now. - She said, still holding his underwear over the edge.

Their eyes met and they looked at each other, with lust, for a few seconds before Calum closed the distance between them and their lips crashed. His hands were underwater on her lower back. Not thinking, Hope let go of his underwear and put her hands around his neck.

- Oops. - Hope said when they broke apart the kiss and she realized what she did.

- You did that on purpose, didn't you? - Calum was smirking at her.

- No, I didn't. - Hope said trough laughter.

She turned around and started swimming towards the ladder. Calum followed. Hope got out of the pool and turned to look at Calum who was still in the water.

- You know if you wanted to see me naked you could've just asked. - Calum said with a smirk.

- Copying Jace, are we? - She asked, still grinning. - And I do not want to see you naked.

- Isn't it a little too late for that?

- I mean now.

- Well, you have no choice, you threw my underwear over the edge. - Calum smirked.

He started to climb up the ladder and Hope quickly turned around. She took of the denim shirt she still had on.

- Take this. - She handed him the shirt, her back still turned to him.

- This is a little small to cover me entirely, so you're gonna have to chose which side...

- Just cover your front. - Hope cut him off and he chuckled at her words.

A few seconds later he stood in front of her, holding her shirt over his friend.

- Let's go somewhere. - He said.

- Where?

- I think Paris is nice this time of year. - Calum said with a goofy smile.

Hope snickered. - Yeah, right.

- Let's just drive somewhere... Alone. - He said and half smiled.

- Alright, but you have to put some clothes on first. - She chuckled.

- Why, I think this shirt looks really good on me? - He grinned.

- I didn't say it doesn't. - Hope smiled. - I'm gonna go put something on as well.

She walked passed him, brushing his shoulder a little.

- Wait. - He took her hand, but quickly let go of it so he could hold the shirt in place after it started sliding down.

She turned to face him.

- You wanna be my girlfriend? - Calum asked her, with a smile, in all seriousness.

Hope looked down and half smiled. Not caring about the shirt, Calum reached out his hand and gently lifted her head to face him.

- Do you? - He was getting a little worried.

- Yeah, I do. - Hope bit her bottom lip and smiled widely.

Calum's smile was the brightest she's ever seen it. He came closer to her and left a soft kiss on her lips.

- I'll wait for you in the living room. - Calum said and started leaving.

- Put some clothes on! - Hope yelled after have.

- Don't complain, I know you're enjoying the view! - He yelled as well and she chuckled before nodding in agreement.

Hope was waiting for Calum in the living room. She was wearing a tight, short black dress with thin straps and an open back and black Vans. Her hair was still wet. Her hair was covering the love marks Calum left on her body, but a few scratches were visible on her naked back.
Calum sneaked up on her and hugged her tightly from behind.

- Are you insanse? - He startled her. - You scared the shit out of me.

- I'm sorry. - He said trough a small chuckled and kissed her on the cheek, still holding her around the waist.

- Where is everyone? - She asked him.

- Luke is out with Arzaylea, Mike is on his Xbox and Ashton is sleeping.

- So where are we going? - They were whispering.

- You'll see. - Calum left another kiss on her cheek and they were on their way.

They were in the car. Windows down. Passing trought the city lights. Hope was looking out the window when she felt Calum take her hand. She looked at him and smiled. Everything felt unbelievable. She thought she was dreaming, but his gentle touch reassured her. Justin Bieber's ''I'll Show You'' came on the radio. Calum turned the volume up and started singing.

''My life is a movie and everyone's watching
So let's get to the good part and past all the nonsense''

She looked at him again and half smiled. This is the good part of her movie, or at least she thought.

''Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing
When the pressure's coming down like lightning
It's like they want me to be perfect
When they don't even know that I'm hurting''

- Sing with me. - Calum said, in between lyrics. - Come on.

''This life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
Act like you know me, but you never will
There's one thing that I know for sure
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you''

She joined him quietly.

- Come on, you can do better than that. - Calum said with a smile on his face.

''I got to learn things, learn them the hard way
Gotta see what it feels like, no matter what they say
Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing
When the pressure's coming down like lightning
It's like they want me to be perfect
When they don't even know that I'm hurting''

When the chours repeated Calum stopped singing, letting Hope's voice to fill the car.

''This life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
Act like you know me, but you never will
There's one thing that I know for sure''

He keept glancing at her, a smile set on his face.

''I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you''

Calum joined her again.

''This life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
Act like you know me, but you never will
There's one thing that I know for sure''

They looked at each other.

''I'll show you
I'll show you.''

- So, how do you feel being in the band? - Calum asked her.

- Before I met all of you I never really though about singing, but now...I don't know, it just feels right. - She told him.

Calum looked at her. He couldn't believe she was with him. Why would she be with him? She's so pure, she's an angel and he's just Calum.

She squeezed his hand and he snapped out of his thoughts.

- We're here. - He said.

They were at the beach.

- Hang on a second. - Calum said and got out of the car.

He walked over to the passenger door and opened them for Hope. He held out his hand for her and helped her get out.

- You didn't have to do that. - She told him, modest as usual.

- I know... But you deserve it. - He told her and she smiled while looking down.

He put his hands on her cheeks and lifter her head.

- You know, if you look down everytime I say something nice I won't have a chance to get lost in your eyes.

Hope smiled and looked down again, but quickly returned her gaze to him. He smiled widely and gave her a peck on the lips. He took her small hand in his they started walking closer to the water. The sound of waves crashing was peaceful and calming. Together, hand in hand, they lay down on the sand. They were looking at the sky in silence, exchanging glaces every once in a while.

- Hey... - Calum called out to her.

She looked at him.

- I known we've officially been together for less than an hour, but I wanna ask you something.

They were still laying down.

- What? - She asked quietly.

- You know who I am and what I do, and you're gonna get signed as well and everyone's watching... - He spoke, his voice low. - So, do you wanna keep this a secret?

- Is that what you want? - Hope asked him.

- Hell no, I...I wanna show you off, I want everyone to know you're mine. - Calum blushed slightly and squeezed her hand. - How about you?

Hope was quiet for a few seconds. - Well, everyone already thinks we're together... I don't see anything wrong with telling them they're right.

Calum smiled widely. Hope raised her back and moved to sit on Calum's bottom. Her legs were spread and he was in between them.

- And I want everyone to know you're mine, too. - She said and smiled at him.

Calum's smiled got a lot bigger and so did something else. He raised his back, as well, so they were at eye level. Hope put her hands on his cheeks and went in for the kiss. The kiss was hard yet soft, it was fiery and passionate, filled with their hunger for each other, but it was also tender and filled with some strange feeling they didn't know how to explain. It seemed as if fireworks and explosions were going off behind them, like the whole world stopped and that moment was the only thing that mattered.

It's 9am. The 5SOS boys were in the living room, worried, when two sinning buddies walked in, holding hands.

- Where the hell have you been? - Ashton was the first one to notice them, he was also the most worried one.

- The beach. - Hope asked, questioning why he was worried.

- Do you have any idea how worried i was? - Ashton scolded them.

- What happened to us being adults? - Hope asked him.

- You said it yourself that you're not... - Ashton started to speak, but his eye caught their hands and he stopped, a grin now on his face.

Everyone else noticed the two of them were holding hands.

- So, you talked? - Ashton approached them, his smile getting bigger and bigger.

- We're together. - Calum said loudly and proudly, squeezing her hand.

They didn't pay much attention to the guys woohooing and clapping, they looked at each other and smiled, their cheeks red. The guys all apporached them and congratulated them in their own manner.

- I'm happy for you two... - Luke told Hope. - But you better not hurt him.

- I won't. - Hope told him, Luke's protectivness of Calum made her smile.

- This calls for a celebration. - Luke said. - I'll go buy some alcohol.

- Can we not? I think my body could use a day without alcohol. - Hope said.

- Alright, then how about some pizza and a movie? - Michael proposed.

- Sure. - Hope said.

- Fine, but we're going out tomorrow night then. - Luke pouted and everyone chuckeled.

- So are you gonna keep this private? - Ashton asked.

- No. - Calum said with a big smile, him and Hope still holding hands.

- So, shall we call the rest of the ''Midnight Sinning Session''? - Luke asked.

- Yeah, why not? - Hope said.

Luke took out his phone and called up the guys. Hope walked passed the guys to take a seat on the couch, facing them with her back.

- What's wrong with your back? - Luke asked her after he hung up the phone.

She turned to look at him, not realizing what he's talking about.

- What do you mean?

- Your back is completely scratched. - Luke told her and Michael was trying to hold back the laughter.

She glanced at Calum, a mischievous smile on his face.

- Oh, it's nothing. - She said.

Luke looked at her, still questioning. Calum, Michael and Ashton knew very well what happened. All eyes were on Hope.

- Fine... - She breathed out. - I slept with Calum, okay?

- Oh... You knew about this? - He looked at Ashton.

- Yeah.

- So everybody but me knew?

- It's not like a planned for Michael to see me leaving Calum's room. - Hope wasn't hiding anything anymore. - Now can we drop it?

- Alright. - Luke said trough a chuckle.
