50 Shades of Ashton Irwin

Chapter 20

Long story short we told the boys everything. They asked us questions like does your hand hurt? Is your face okay? Blah blah blah. We explained to them that it's nothing, were fine and we urged them to forget about it and just focus on our move to Australia. After actually changing the subject to Australia, which we leave for tomorrow morning around 8am, I notice Ashton staring at me with cloudy eyes, filled with anger. What have I done?

It seems like the lads and lasses sense the tension between the two of us, I know that because out the corner of my eyes, from staring back at Ashton, I can see them all shuffling awkwardly in their seats. It wasn't until Calum broke the silence.

"Wow guys, like seriously, take it into the bedroom. Just be quiet." he tries to lighten up the mood.

As soon as the 't' rolled off Calum's tongue, Ashton shot up and stormed across the room, standing directly in front of with his hand out in front, gesturing me to take it. I just looked at his hand, he hasn't said anything to me.

"Kodie!" He growls. I can see he is trying his best to contain his anger that has flowered from nothing, in my eyes. I haven't done anything wrong so what ever it is that has to do with me, he is probably over reacting. It seems like his anger can get the better of him sometimes and not wanting to be on the end of it even more than what I apparently already am, I slowly reach up and take his hand. He intertwined our fingers before speeding off out of the room. My legs struggle to keep up the pace he has set, because with his long legs he has naturally longer strides when walking,however he's taking the piss now, I just can't keep up.

So, I slam my heels into the floor,attempting to stop him in his tracks,yet it just resulted in him literally dragging me,my feet not moving from the positioned they stopped in. Once again Ashton swings me over his shoulder,except this time I'm not drunk or kicking and screaming. Instead I just simple hang over his shoulder. To keep me steady one hand lays at the back of my knees and the other one clenches on to my bum. As soon as his hand touches my bum I let out a little-ish "HEY!" Signalling that what he's doing is very uncalled for and cheeky.

I hear him grunt. God what's with him?

What feels like forever we finally reach a room that he has chosen to go in to do what ever it is we need to do. I can't tell what room it is until he drops me onto the bed- me letting out a little 'oomph' as I land ungracefully. Seeing nothing but a cream wall, I know it's my room because it has a hole in the wall from when I was trying to put my mirror up but it failed terribly, resulting in me smashing a hole in the wall with my hammer.

I sit up and see Ashton pacing across the room.

"What's wrong with you. Ever since I got home you've had a problem with me. I thought we were fine now?"

That's when he spoke up.

"We are fine. It's just that I got really angry when you said you got in a fight. I mean have you even seen your face?-" he walks over, kneels in front of me and presses his large hand against my face allowing his thumb to brush over my marked skin. I wince in pain when his thumb come into contact with the scratch Sasha must of left. He instantly stops and looks into my eyes with his beautiful hazel-green ones.

"-I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. Kodie I got upset and angry that I weren't there to protect you earlier and it means a lot to me that I'm there to protect you because ever since I met you I have had this feeling along with others that I need to be there for you and just look after you-"

He pauses. He takes a deep breath.

"-because you mean a lot to me. I really like you and when I kissed you the other week, it felt so right and I would love to do that all the time, maybe even call you mine."

He brakes our gaze, getting up from the floor to sit next to me on the edge of the bed. His shoulders are slouched forward, head hung low, I can tell that took a lot for him to say and do. From my silence, he probably thought that was a no, but it wasn't, tho it's not a yes either.

I turn to face him.

"Ashton"

He turns his head the other way. Gosh why does this boy have to make everything difficult. I jump up and wrap my arms round him, receiving the hug back in return. His head was resting in the crook of my neck when I spoke.

"Ashton I like you too. I always had a feeling there even when I hated to admit it. and yes someday we could give it a go but right now I'm not ready. Maybe a few dates and getting to know each other days and it could possibly happen but right know I'm not too sure. I really like you too don't get me wrong. And yes when we kissed I did like it and would like to do that more often but I'm not ready yet. Do you understand?"

I pull away to see him smiling.

"That's fine with me... so you like me too?"

I fully release myself from the hug whilst laughing. I extend my hand for him to take, which he does without a second thought, intertwining our fingers. We reach the door when I stop and look up at him and smile. I stand on my tip toes and kiss his cheek, well dimple because he smiles whilst me kissing him.

We walk into the living room where everyone is, their eyes immediately lock onto our hands.

Court says "What's going on here?"

"Err it's complicated" I blush whilst looking up at him, noticing him blushing too.

Things could be working out for the better. What will it bring?
