The Loverboy

Hello Love

*Rowan's POV*

I woke up at 10:30, feeling rested and refreshed. I examined my ankle. It felt better. Then, I remembered what happened. What seemed like a dream was reality. It was hard to believe that Ashton dished out to me. What was even harder to comprehend was that I let go and fell into his open arms. I hoped this wouldn't be something I ended up regretting. I checked my phone to see a text from Michael that read: "We went out- don't worry we didn't get kidnapped. Be back soon! ;)"

I wrapped a blanket around my shoulders and limped downstairs. "Ashton?" I said. "Good morning!" He said with a cheeky smile. Is he playing me? "I thought you guys went out." I asked. "They went to get doughnuts, but I stayed behind so you wouldn't be all alone." He answered, still grinning. "Oh okay" I said a little more open. I walked over to the couch and sat on the opposite side.

We both confessed we loved each other. Does this mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend? I didn't want to just ask, that would make things awkward. "You can sit closer if you want" Ashton said, chuckling. I gave him a small smile and scooched in closer to him, before curling up against his chest and draping the blanket over the both of us.

"So have you told the other boys about, uh, you know?" I asked awkwardly. "No, I was going to ask you what you wanted to do." I shrugged my shoulders. He pulled me closer to him. "We could tell them together" he said. I nodded showing that I liked that idea.

"Okay well then," He said, getting down on one knee. DA HECK IS HE DOING?! "Rowan Evans, will you be my-" NO I WONT MARRY YOU! I AM EIGHTEEN MY GOSH! "-my girlfriend" Oh. I smiled and "Ashton I would love to-" "ASHTON STOP YOU ARE RUINING YOUR LIFE!" Calum screamed, running into the house. "Are you out of your mind, dude?" Luke asked picking Ashton off of his knee. "Calm down mate I wasn't proposing" Ashton said laughing. I giggled too, clutching Ashton's hand in mine.

"We might as well tell you since you came across this" Ash said, pulling me into his side. "We are going to start dating!" Ashton explained excitedly. "Congrats man!" Michael said happily, pulling you two into a bear hug and Calum joining in. Luke cleared his throat. "Ash it's your day to set the table." He stated. Ash nodded and went into the kitchen to set up.

"Rowan, a word?" Luke said. I walked over to him to hear him out. "What are you doing?" "I'm about to go eat some doughnuts" "Ashton..." "We talked and made up and I decided to let go and give him a chance." "..." "Luke, you know as well as I do I had a crush on him and it was obvious his feelings were mutual, so what's wrong? Is Lukey Pookey jealous?" "No, I'm not jealous! You're my best friend, and I don't want you getting hurt, physically or in your heart. You know he's rough." "So he needs a girl to teach him how to be soft. Come on, Luke. Please be supportive and happy. He could never replace you, y'know that right?" "Okay, Rowan. But I'm gonna be watching closely."

I hugged him and walked into the kitchen, and sat in my usual spot next to Luke, and next to Ashton, who was at the head of the table. We all went for the doughnuts and began eating them. Michael got blue frosting all over his lips, and Luke's teeth were temporarily stained green.

*Ashton's POV*

She said yes! She actually said yes! I was so overjoyed, and I had no idea how I got her to turn around but I'm glad I convinced her.

I was in my room, fiddling with my bandana when Luke came in. "Hey what's up, mate?" I said to him. It was obvious to him how happy I was. "You better be careful with her" He said. I knew exactly what he was talking about. "I will, Luke gosh." "Don't drag her into your troubles. You don't want to come that close to being arrested again." He reminded me. "I know I know I ssaid I wouldn't do it again. "Please don't teach her how to run from the cops." "That was once" "Twice" "I'll be careful, I swear." "Okay" He patted me on the back. "I'm sorry, man I'm just trying to look out for her." "I understand. It's fine." "So uh, whatcha doin?"
