The Rockstar and The Outcast

Chapter 10 Watermelon Mornings

(Georgia)

I woke up to a soft glow on my face. I could hear a soft snoring behind me, and I could feel someone's arm holding me against them. I turned my head and saw a peaceful and sleeping Ashley. At first I questioned what happened, but then I remembered. After my meds I passed out, and probably had a night terror.

I snapped out of my thoughts and saw Ash twitch his nose in his sleep. It was so cute. Then he rolled over and yawned. His eyes slowly opened and came to rest on my face. A small smile appeared on his face as he brought his hand up to move a few strands of hair out of my eyes.

"Good morning Princess Peach, how did you sleep?"

Oh my god his morning voice was so hot. I had to resist kissing him. It was husky and made my heart flutter. Wait. Am I falling for Purdy boy here?

"I slept really well, but it was probably because of my meds. Please tell me I didn't scream through the whole night. I know it can get pretty bad."

"Well you gave us a couple of scares about a half hour after the meds, but you settled down eventually."

"Sorry for keeping you up."

I sat up and looked down at my hands. I knew my night terrors were no fun for anyone near me. Trust me my mom would reminds me everyday during one of her daily hangovers. I felt my head being tilted up. I met Ashley's gaze. I must have been crying because I felt his thumb wipe away a silent tear.

"Sweetie I didn't mind. As long as you were safe from any danger I don't mind."

I blushed at his comment. A second later Ashley got up and went towards the door. I realized he had on a pair of hello kitty shorts. I had to laugh at his quirks. "I'll be back in a second. Don't go anywhere Peaches."

Then he left. I got up after he closed the door and made it to my bunk. I put on a Of Mice and Men shirt and purple plaid pajama shorts. Usually I would grab a sweat shirt, but after last night I didn't worry what Ash thought of my autoimmune disease. I made my way back to the back room and sat patiently for Ashley to return.

I heard the door open and saw him come in with his arms full. He jumped on to the bed, letting all of the things he carried fall from his arms. I saw multiple nail polishes, movies, and a whole half of a watermelon that was wrapped in plastic rap.

"I thought you might just want to chill this morning." I looked over to see a more timid looking Ashley. He was playing with the corner of the blanket and was occasionally glance up at me for a millisecond.

"Umm yeah!!! Let's do this!" I leaned over to give him a hug. "Thanks Ash, this means a lot."

He smiled and got up to pop in a movie. It was Rambo First Blood. I uncover the watermelon and found a couple of spoons laying on the bed. Ashley sat down and I handed him one of the spoons. Then we both sat there quietly munching on the melon and watch Rambo kick ass.

While Ash wasn't looking I got a picture of him with a spoon full of watermelon and Rambo in the background. I uploaded it to Instagram and tagged him in it. As soon as I posted it Ashley decided to check his phone. I couldn't keep a straight face as he opened it.

"Really Peaches?" He smiled and turned off his phone.

Once the movie was over and we only had the rind left Ashley decided to give me a manicure.

"Ok princess what color do you want?" I grabbed the chrome and a neon purple and held them up to him. "Ah a fine choice."He began to paint my nails.

"So Georgia what do you have going on in like a week?" He asked while trying to remove the previous red nail polish.

"Well I have States to go to, why?" I was now curious and intrigued as to where this question was leading.

"Oh because I was wondering if you would want to come on tour with us. We are heading back to LA Monday and then we are going to start touring a week after that."

Shit! I really want to go. I mean who wouldn't? "Gees I would love to Ash, but what about school and States next Friday? I would come if it was another meet but this is States."

"It's ok Peaches, there will always be other meets." A sad tone had over come his happy and energetic voice.

After getting my nails done ash got up and offered me his hand. I grabbed it and let him help me up. Then he turned to me. "Well Princess since this is going to be our last night together I'm going to take you out." He seemed very determined and smiled at me. How can just a simple smile give me butterflies?

"Ok but Ash, I have noting to wear." I knew he wouldn't care but I had to look nice. It was this weird habit of mine to look my best at all times.

"Don't worry I found one of your shirts and looked at the size. I picked out a dress while you were busy yesterday. He began to walk over to the bunks and pulled out a dress bag. He handed it to me and started to walk up front. "Take your time, we are leaving in an hour."

As soon as he left I took out the dress. It was stunning. The dress came down a few inches above my knees. It was black silk with silver lace covering the whole dress and it formed long sleeves. It was gorgeous, but not to formal. I took a quick shower then put on my dress. For my hair I borrowed CC's straightener and made my waist length hair less wavy. Lastly I applied makeup, my silver lip ring, and some black flats.

I walked out to see Ashley looking as good as ever. He had on black skinny jeans, a grey shirt and short boots. He cleaned up pretty nice. I couldn't stop staring and he couldn't stop staring at me. I looked around to see all eyes on me. I began to blush and walked over to Ash.

"Peaches you look so beautiful." Jinxx sounded astounded.

"Thanks Jinxxy," I replied while looking at my feet.

"Oh my gosh girl you look fabulous!" CC ran over to me, picked me up and twirled me around. I just laughed and flattened my hair back down when he was done.

"Ok your curfew is midnight and no later or Georgia your grounded." Jake stood next to me and hugged me. Then he crossed his arms and waited for an answer.

"Yes dad," I said with a touch of sarcasm and a smirk.

"Oh Jake leave the poor girl a lone," Andy replied while getting up to give me a hug. "Just don't be out to late and have fun, but not to much fun."

"Really Andy?" I laughed and turned to Ashley who had stayed quiet this whole time. I wonder what was going through his Purdy mind?

"Well my dear, are you ready to go?" Ash held out his hand and asked.

"Sure thing Ashes," I took his hand in mine and we walked out the door. All I could think is how much I didn't want this night to end.
