Misunderstood

The morning

Ashton POV-
I woke up to the smell of peppermint and the warmth of someone holding me.
I look up to see Nico holding me in his arms, underneath the tree that we were sitting under last night, with his head leading on my head and my head laid on his heart. He smelled like peppermint.
I blushed a little at the idea that we look like a couple...even though we are dating...it's still new. But it's like I've known him my whole life. I know it sounds cliché but it's true.
I laid my head back down again but he started to wake up. So I pretended to still be asleep.
"Urghhmmm haaaaa." He yawned.
He rubbed his eyes to adjust to the light, then he noticed me and got a recollection of last night.
I'm positive he was blushing. I could tell my the way his heart beat was speeding up and his one cool hands were now warm to the touch.
When he calmed down a bit, after a couple of minutes, he leaned down to kiss my head.
An intense blush crept on my face. I still pretend to sleep just to se what he will say knowing that I'm not awake.
He turned me up so that I faced him. Then what I wasn't expecting happened. He again leaned in but this time kissed my lips. It wasn't just a quick peak on the lips, it was a deep passionate kiss that would make any girl melt.
He broke away knowing I wouldn't kiss back because I'm "asleep" and said,
"Fyi Ashton you are horrible at faking that you are asleep. But I on the other hand am so much better because I fooled you big time."
"Fine you got me. But when we're you faking..?" I replied.
"When you first woke up. I saw you blush and then lay back down." He smirked.
My face was now a crimson red color. I punched his arm and then barred my face in his shirt.
"Haha your so cute." He kissed my forehead.
"Shut up...." I lay embarrassed.
"Haha I'm sorry it's just I can't help it when my feels explode from looking at my kind hearted, smart, beautiful girlfriend."
"Flattery will get you everywhere Nico."
"Hey I'm just speaking the truth."
"Yeah yeah sure. " I'm still hiding my face.
"You know you still haven't seen me blush. In fact if you did you would be the first. Actually lets play the don't blush game. We both have to say things to eachother to make the other blush. Who ever blushes losses. Ok?"
"Ok..."
"I'll start. Hello my beautiful wild orchid."
I know why Nico said that flower. In New York, wild orchids were rare because of weather conditions.
"That was weak. Um... Yellow (says fast to sound like hello) Di Angelo." I say.
"That's not gonna make me blush. But nice try sugar cube. "
"I'm Being my self thank you very much cupcake."
We both started laughing at the coach hedge reference.
"That was a good one." He laughed.
"Haha yeah thanks." I laughed.
He kissed me for the second time this morning.
"Huh?! What was that for?" I blushed quietly.
"Looks like I won." He smirked.
"That's not fair!" I pouted.
"It's ok you can still try to make me blush but I still won. And good luck, you are gonna need it."
"But I don't know what to do...." I blushed red again.
He cleared his throat and looked away," ..w-well I d-don't know..."
I saw a pink tint on his cheeks.
"Well it looks like you are blushing."
"No I'm not."
His face turned an even more red.
I kissed him on the lips and said, "Yes you are."
"Whatever..." His blush calming down.
"Come on let's get up and get some breakfast. I'm starving."
"Haha alright let's go."
You both get up and race each other to the mess hall.
