Dylan's POV
I could hear Ashton breathing harshly, I was surprised fumes weren't coming out of his ears. He finally cooled down as we got to his car. I was about to open to car door when he swerved around and opened it for me. I blushed and felt like a complete jerk. I was mad he was late because of work, smashed some flowers he bought me, and he is cool about it. I shouldn't spend all this time thinking about my self. My selfish, stupid self.
"Hey don't say that.." Ashton said. I jumped.
"Wa-what did I say?" Did I just say all of that out loud?
"Your not selfish or stupid. Your just a little frustrated. But it's okay, I'm not mad anymore. We will forget at happened." He smiled and looked at me. I blushed and nodded. I sat down in the car and looked around. It was only a car but it was amazing. Clean, black, smelt like his cologne. I loved it.

He finally mad his way around and I had to stop sniffing the air like I was smelling muffins.
"As I was saying..." Ash started.
"You look amazing. That dress really compliments your eyes." He smiled at me and started the car.
"M-my eyes?" I asked dumbly. "They-They are just plain brown.."
"The dress still compliments your eyes though." I smiled dumbly.
"You look nice yourself, Irwin." He smirked at me stared driving.
"So where are we going?"
"It doesn't matter. But you dressed perfectly for it, as if you read my mind or something." See, I knew this would happen. Anyways I usually love surprises, but sometimes I can't stand them. I fiddled around, feeling anxious.
"Don't worry," Ash chuckled, "I won't rape you. I think You would like this." I felt a little bit more relaxed. Still not into n the surprise. Ashton moved his hand onto my seat. I relaxed as he grabbed for my hand. I felt safe around him. I barely meet, or re-meet the guy, but I felt safe. I sighed lightly.

About 30 minutes passed, and we are laughing. We were telling stories of our years after I left, and some corny jokes.
Ashton was funnier then I thought, and I liked it. He makes me smile so much. Even in grade school, he would say something dumb, or tell me a joke, and I would laugh.
"I decided to take you dancing." He said, in mid-laughs. I stopped laughing.
"W-what kind... Of dancing?" I trembled. I sucked at dancing, I stomp on feet, make the ground shake, and I'm just plain uncoordinated.
"It's an outside grill, and there's a live band. I thought you would like it." He smiled and rubbed his thumb on the back of my hand, comforting me. I blushed and relaxed.
"It sounds great." I, sorta, lied. If I was with Ash anything was fine. Ash smiled and pulled into a drive way to a restaurant. It looked gorgeous. It had covered fire-pits, vine walls, and a beautiful, but small, wood stage. I slightly smiled. I felt, as if, I was in a fairy tale. I slowly let go of Ash's hand and got out. Ash hurried around and held my hand again.
"O-only of its.. Okay?" He looked down at our hands and up at my face. He looked disappointed, as if I said no. I nodded and gripped his hand tighter. He smiled and pulled me closer.

We sat down at a table, right in the middle of the place. Two girls came over and asked for pictures, and one girl snarled her upper lip at me like an angry bulldog. I slightly rolled my eyes and pulled a fake smile. The other girl, smiled at me, and I smiled for real.
"Your really pretty, I wish I had a body like yours." the nicer one said. I blushed. I really don't know how to take compliments.
"Y-your very pretty too, and I think your body is per-perfect." I said, then relaxed as Ash rubbed his thumb of my hand.
"Excuse my stuttering," I said politely.
"Don't worry about it, I would be nervous if I was with Ashton too." She waved and got pulled away by the mean girl.
I looked at Ashton and he was gazing at me. I looked at him and took in his features. His smile was truly handsome. His hazel eyes "sparkled". I'm surprised no one has kidnapped him yet.
"Your... So beautiful..." He said out, struggling. I blushed.
"It's true, I can't believe you don't have a mate." He made me blush more. The waiter finally made his way over.
"What can I get you two?" A husky voice asked. Ash looked at me, like egging me on to order first.
"Urm.. Hello. Can I get the Umm... The.. The spaghetti with the salad? Sorry," I apologized for no reason, my habit.
"Hmm.. No reason to be sorry, dear. What can I get you?" He looked at Ashton.
"Can I have the steak, rare please." He smiled. Then Ash egged him over to him, and whispered in his ear. The waiter nodded and wrote it down. He left to the He set down two glasses of water and wine glasses. He lit a candle and podded open some champagne. I blushed and Ash rubbed my hand.
"For... For us?" I questioned, but of course it was.
"Anything for you. I want to make you feel special." He smiled, making me blush deeply. The waiter put a cheese platter down and with some rolls of bread.
"Ash.. This is too much.."
"Don't worry about it, I'm treating you to this." He made my heart melt. I took my glass, and sipped a bit, trying not to slurp. The bubbles burst in side of my stomach, not helping the butterflies. He kissed my hand lightly, and my heart fluttered. I felt special.

After eating our food and laughing, Ash stood up and offered a hand.
"Would you like to dance?" He smiled. I didn't even have to nod, I already shot up and was brought to the dance floor. I placed my hands on his shoulders, and he placed his hands on my waist. I felt warm, and happy. He stepped forward and my body stepped backwards. We synced our bodies to the music, and we were really into it. I felt as if I was a princess. I was being treated like one, and Ashton was the only one who would ever make me feel like that. I rested my head on his shoulder and wrapped his neck. He wrapped his hands around my back. I felt loved. Ashton started humming the tune of the song in my ear, making me smile.
"Dylan.." He whispered.
"Yes?" I whispered back.
"I'm so glad I found you.." I smiled.
"I'm so glad I found you too, Irwin."
