All That Matters || Ashton FanFic

Chapter Three

We ended up parking in front of a familiar house, their house. I told myself I'll never go back here but here I am, walking up to the front door.

"Welcome back.", Luke said, opening the front door for all of us.

The boys slumped down the couch as soon as they can, checking their phones and seeming to forgot I was there, awkwardly standing in front of the door. I looked around the house. It's actually a pretty cozy place now that I'm paying attention to the details. I haven't even looked at the house when I was here a few days ago.

Ashton looked up at me, "You don't wanna sit?", he asked. He tapped Calum who was beside him and asked him to move so I can sit.

"You can sit here.", he tapped the space Calum emptied for me.

"No, thanks. What am I... even doing here?", I asked. I don't actually know what to do. Yes, I agreed to be his slave for a month to get that necklace back. But, does that mean I have to start now?

"You are my slave. Remember?", he tilted his head on the side.

"Yeah? But, we didn't agree on starting now?", I answered.

"It's because it's what I've decided. I'm your Dominant. And you're my submissive. You should always follow me.", he said. I heard Michael laughed.

"Don't play that Fifty Shades of Grey shit on me.", I rolled my eyes at him. Seriously? He's quoting that shit on me and I want to puke. It kinda scared me, too. What if he's serious and he really does want me to be his sex slave? Hell, no.

He chuckled, "I'm just kidding. I'm just giving you the thought. Well, except the Sexual thing. Just master and slave."

"I'm not an idiot, you don't have to explain.", I rolled my eyes again. I sure have rolled my eyes a lot today and it's weird. I don't usually have this expression. "What do you want me to do?"

"Do you have a grill?"

"Yeah?", I answered. Why does he need a grill all of a sudden? He's so weird.

"Alright!", he exclaimed, clapping his hands and giving us all a heart attack.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?", Calum asked, shocked.

"Let's go. We'll have barbecue tonight.", he said, standing up from his seat.

"Wait, wait? Do you mean... at my place?", I asked.

"We don't have a grill. So I guess it will be at your place.", he said nonchalantly.

I heard the other boys cheer but I don't want to join them. From what I think, they want to grill beef. In my house? IN MY GODDAMN HOUSE!

"I'm not letting strangers inside my house.", I shouted at him. The boys stopped cheering and stared at me.

"Ouch.", I heard Michael said and saw him frowning at me. "I thought we are all friends here?" I can hear from his tone that he's hurt from what I said.

"Uhm... Yeah, but. I just... Met you, guys.", I defended myself. Yeah, I kinda considered them my friends. But, I just met them.

"So? We considered you our friend the first time we saw you, you know?", Luke said.

What he said made me blink my eyes. I was shock that they look sincere saying that. I didn't know what to say.

"Okay. We're friends now.", I gave in after a few minutes. I don't know why but I felt guilty that I called them strangers. And it actually hurt them, especially Michael, I guess.

I smiled at them and they cheered again, giving me warm hugs which made me smile even more. What are these guys doing to me? I mean, I'm not that kind to just trust other people. But these guys are different. I somewhat knew that I could trust them.
