Distracted || 5SOS Fanfic

P. 17

It had been a few days since I had last seen the boys and summer was coming to an end. I have been texting Mikey every now and then and we were getting close. As for Ashton, I haven't talked or seen him at all since he left with Arielle. I shouldn't care though, but I did. What has he been up to?

My phone rang.

"Hey Mikey," I answered.

"Hey babe," he calls me.

I didn't enjoy the sound of him calling me "babe." It felt awkward. Plus we weren't officially together.

"Are you busy today," he continues, "because I maybe wanted to see if you'd want to come over?"

He waits for a response.

"I have all your favorites?" He adds. "Every episode of SNL, popcorn, skittles, Tim Tams... You name it."

"Well..." I teased, "I dunno..."

"Please?" He begs.

"I guess, sure," I say hesitantly. He knew I was just messing with him.

About an hour later he comes to pick me up. I didn't think much to put in effort to look good since we were just hanging out at his place. So I just wore a my oversized 5sos sweater I got from Calum and my middle school P.E. shorts. I liked how Mikey didn't mind.

When we got to his place, Mikey made me close my eyes and guided me through to the backyard.

"Okay, open your eyes," he said.

He had set up a little out door theater! It was so nice and the idea was just adorable. White lights hung from under the tree, blankets and sheets were set out on the green grass, and little pedals were sprinkled around. On top of the set out blankets was every single one of my favorite snacks and on top of the little table where all the snacks laid, was a note that said "I really like you, can we make it official? Will you be my girlfriend?"

He stood nervously with his puppy face.

"Wow," I was stunned. I didn't know what to say. "This is amazing."

I take a look around before I answer. So much effort was put into this, I can't tell him no. But I wasn't sure if I was ready. I thought hard about it. Would it hurt to just give us a try?

"Yes," I answered. I hugged him.

He seemed so pleased with the answer and squeezes me tightly.

"But, don't tell the boys just yet!" I stopped him.

"My lips are sealed," he kisses me on the cheek.

I totally forgot about Ashton at this point... kind of.

I sat down on the spread out blanket and he lied next to me. We started with the first episode of season 10 SNL on Netflix.

"So... When can I tell the boys?" He sneaks in the question.

I lie down with my head on his shoulders as arm wraps around me, "not soon."

I wasn't ready to be teased by Calum, or to see how Ashton would take it. I didn't really care to tell Luke though. He wasn't a problem; honestly the only problem I had was Ashton. I liked him kinda, and according to Calum, he liked me. I shouldn't be worried. He probably lost feeling and grew feelings for that Arielle girl.

"Fine, but that's going to be hard for me. I want to tell everyone that you're mine," he smiles.

I snuggle closer to Mikey. He's such a sweetheart, I don't need Ashton. Get over it Sherry.
