Butterflies ||a.i

part 5

we pulled up in front of my house around 2:30 am maybe is was 3 i'm not sure i just remember staring at him like a fucking weirdo on the way home
"what are you looking at gorgeous?" he said looking down at me looking up at him while i was slumped in his seat
"i'm just trying to capture a moment" he smiled and walked around to open my door and held out his hand and i took it he lifted me out of the car and pulled me close to him we were chest to chest with his hands on my lower back mine on his.
"do you do this a lot?" i asked him my insecurity's getting the best of me
"no. you're..special." he said with a slight smile i hummed in response. He walked me to the door
"are you okay to drive home" i asked
"yeah not my first time with that" he said
"okay be safe" i said and he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear
"i'll try." he said with a smirk and kissed my forehead before taking a step back. i took my keys out and unlocked the door and i waved at him and he waved back. I closed the door and stood against it when i heard the car start and him drive away.
"this will be fun"

*11:15 am*
my eyes were so heavy but i am determined to get up and also my dog had to go outside. I stood up there was the slightest headache creeping up on me. i opened the door and my dog ran outside like i've never taken her out. I walked to my coffee machine and started it it's just a k cup but it will do if it gets rid of my headache. I let my dog back in and finally took a look at my phone.
*1 new message
Ashton☕️* i smiled and opened it
Ashton☕️: "good morning if you're not tired of me yet you wanna go get lunch/brunch?:)"
i looked at the message with a stupid smile
Me: "good morning i'd love to!!"
Ashton☕️: "perfect be there in 30?"
Me: "see you soon cutie" ew oh my god why would i say that cutie i hope he doesn't think that's weird shit.
I got up and put on jeans an oversized tee and my favorite black flannel with all my jewelry i feel like it looks better then it sounds i threw on my chucks and went to brush my teeth when i realized my makeup was still on from last night
"wow good move ceil" i washed my face off and decided to put on the tiniest bit of mascara as to not look dead and walked downstairs. I looked in the mirror messing with my hair and sighed when i realized i had never even drank my coffee i am on a roll today. I put it in the fridge and sat on my couch ten minutes to spare impressive. I decided to text josh cause i never let him know i was alive last night
Me: "hey!! the date went soo good last night and i'm about to go out with him again!!"
josh: "hey! omg so glad that's super exciting! pls give me updates!"
*knock knock*
Me: "i gotcu he's here i'll text love u!"
i got up and grabbed my wallet and keys and headed to the door i opened it and there he was and the butterflies too. He looked so beautiful he was wearing a white flowery button up that was open at the top just enough to expose his chest and necklaces and some nice black jeans that hugged him just perfectly.
"do i look okay?" he said smiling while looking down at his outfit. He always catches me checking him out.
"you look beautiful" i said to him and he blushed a lot which made me feel quite accomplished. I locked my door and he grabbed my hand and opened the door of his mustang for me and i thanked him.

"table for two?" the hostess asked
"yes. and could we get balcony?" ashton asked and the lady nodded with a smile
"follow me" she said holding menus it was a cute little place covered in plants and dark wood we were sat in balcony seats overlooking some mountains
"what can i get you guys to drink?" she asked
"do you guys to bottomless mimosas?" he asked and she nodded he looked at me and i smiled nodding
"we'll do that and two waters please" he smiled at her
"i'll get that put in for you" she said and walked away
i looked over to ashton and he turned back to me
"you trying to get me drunk during the day this time?" i asked him he laughed
"was i the one who got you drunk last night? cause i remember it the other way around" he sat back in his seat with a bug smirk on his face.
"um no it was definitely you getting me drunk" i said to him and he rolled his eyes
"so beautiful huh?" he asked and it took me a second
"oh yeah sorry if that was weird but you are" i said feeling my face get hot it's something that happens to me when i feel like i did something wrong it's so annoying.
"nono i liked it no one has ever called me beautiful before" i looked down on the table and i placed my hand on his messing with his rings and examining it. I was telling the truth he's a dream i swear.
"here are your first round of mimosas and waters. you guys know what you want?" the waitress asked and i realized i didn't look at the menu i had been looking at ashton the whole time. He nodded and started ordering.
"alright and for you?" she looked at me and my face got hot again
"what do you recommend? i'm looking for something light" i asked with a smile trying to play it off when i felt a squeeze on my hand that made me feel better. comforted.
"yeah i like our avocado toast it's on our fresh bread and has raffish shavings on top it's really refreshing!" she said with a smile
"that sounds great thank you" i said back with a smile she grabbed our menus and walked away and i turned my attention back to ashton
"so tell me more about your band" i said to him
he hummed lowly.
"well like i told you before it's with my three best friends luke, calum, and michael we flow through genres but i'd say generally we have a poppy vibe" i nodded my head with a stupid grin i could listen to him talk forever let alone listen to him sing
"do you guys have a name?" i asked
"five seconds of summer" he responded
"i swear i've heard of the band name before" he chuckled
"enough about my band i know you work at a coffee shop but what's your dream" he asked leaning closer to me and taking a sip of his drink
"i've always wanted to be a singer i've just never had the resources to get there even if i don't "make it" i want to try and plus i could travel i would love that too" i just realized we've been holding hands this whole time and i smiled down at our hands and the butterflies came back to me
"what are you thinking about" he asked me and i looked up at him
"okay don't make fun of me" i said and he nodded his head
"everytime i see you or i'm waiting for you to pick me up i get these..butterflies in my stomach like the feeling you get on a roller coaster or something but even better" my face got hot again what if that's weird oh no
"that is the cutest thing i've ever heard. and i'll also take it you're and Adrenalin lover" he said with a smile and i nodded my head
"you know your face turns red when you get nervous right?" of course he noticed
"ugh yeah it sucks if i think i said something stupid or if i got in trouble or something it happens" i said putting my hands on my cheeks
"everything about you is so cute" he said to my pulling my hands off my face and holding my wrists in his big hands i want to kiss him i want to show him how cute i think he is and then our waitress come over with our food and to refill our drinks
"everything look alright guys?" she asked and ashton looked right in my eyes
"everything is perfect thank you"

*in ashton's car*
we sighed sitting back into the seats
"that was great we gotta come here again can't believe i haven't been here before" i said looking out the windshield when i felt eyes on me and looked over to ashton he was looking at me
"what are you thinking about?" i asked him
"i don't want to not be with you...is that weird?" he asked the butterflies came back to me
"no i want to be with you too it's only weird in the way we met each other barley a week ago." i responded he grabbed my hand leaning on the middle arm rest towards me. he was making serious eye contact with me like he was looking for something in my eyes. Out of reflex i looked away and he grabbed my chin to turn my face back at him.
"i feel like i've known you forever" he said so quietly you could barley classify it as a whisper he seemed so scared to tell me that while still holding confidence. He brought our faces together so our foreheads were touching my breath hitched and i could feel his on my face.
we leaned in closer and closer so close to our lips touching
**ring**
my phone rang and i sighed putting my head down and he closed his eyes the piercing sound pulling us out of the trance we were in. I pulled out my phone it was josh i thought about ignoring it but what if something was wrong. I answered the phone.
"hey josh"
"hey so sorry to bother you but i have an emergency and i have to go out of town for a couple days can you stay at my house?" his voice sounded shaky
"yeah sure is everything okay"
"don't worry about me i'll leave the keys" he hung up.
"is everything okay?" ashton asked squeezing my hand for a second
"i don't know but josh needs me to house sit." i said turning back to him
"do you have to go now? i have one more place to take you today." he said and i looked at the time
"no it'll be okay what do you have planned?" i smiled trying to push away the worried pit in my stomach
"you'll see" he said as he started the car and drove off.
