{ Payton }

Today all my friends and our parents were going over to Luke's tonight. This would be my mom's first time meeting the other parents. She's met Anne but that's it.

I headed downstairs with my backpack once I had gotten dressed. Us teenagers were going to stay the night at Luke's after the parents left.

I stepped off the steps as my brothers came running to the door. They were excited because Harry was going to be there too. Soon Mom walked in with her keys and purse,

"Are you riding with us?" She asked me,

"Yeah. Ashton's gonna bring me home tomorrow"

She nodded and pushed us out the door. She was worried about being late, but I also knew she was worried about making a good impression. She didn't need to be worried though.

When we got to Luke's, I noticed we were the last ones here,

"Is Harry here already?" Jude asked as he climbed out of the backseat,

"Yeah he's here" I laughed seeing both Ashton's Jeep and Anne's car. They grinned and followed me into Luke's backyard,

"Payton!" Ashton smiled and walked to me, hugging me tight and quickly pecking my lips. He pulled away as our brothers ran off together. He took my bag and ran into the house as I walked with my mom to the parents,

"Hi! It's so nice to finally meet you. I'm Liz and this is my husband Andy" Luke's mom introduced,

"I'm Joy and this is David" Calum's parents were next,

"I'm Karen and this is David" Michael's mom spoke,

"And we're Will and Jenn" Grace's were last,

"It's nice to finally meet you all" my mom smiled, "I'm Amy and the two little guys are Jude and Evan"

It didn't take long for the parents to separate from us teens. The parents talked for what seemed like forever.

Once it got dark, we teens got a fire set up in the fire pit and sat around it. Grace and I sat next to each other and shared a blanket as we laughed at the stupidest things. I'm pretty sure both our boyfriends were now questioning why they were dating us,

"You two have literally laughed like your high for the past hour" Luke spoke,

"We had to keep ourselves entertained while you all talked about guy stuff" Grace shot back. He rolled his eyes and Calum got up and sat next to Grace,

"I want my girlfriend back," he told me,

"Good because I want my boyfriend back" I spoke, "You've been hogging him since we got here"

Ashton chuckled and pulled me to him,

"I need a girlfriend" Michael rolled his eyes just as we saw our parents walking over,

"We're heading out" Grace's mom spoke as all our mom's, well except Luke's, kissed their kids heads,

"And Ashton's bringing you home tomorrow?" my mom asked me for the hundredth time,

"Yeah. I'll bring her home" Ashton smiled. She nodded and kissed my head again.

We all decided to watch a movie so we went inside and to lounge out in Luke's living room. Grace and I started working on popcorn while the boys got the living room ready for movie night. We were watching the third and fourth Harry Potter movies tonight. On our last movie night, we watched the first two. We want to watch them all together but we have to break it up since we're all very tired people most of the time.

Grace and I walked back into the living room with three bowls of popcorn. The boys were already laying down waiting for us. Grace and I laid between our boyfriends, handing each of them a bowl and giving the last one to Luke and Michael.

Ashton lifted his arm so I could scoot into his side then put the popcorn on my lap. Luke hit play on remote and the movie started.

Halfway through the third, Ashton and I had finished our popcorn and were now laying down, the blanket pulled up to keep us warm.

My eyes kept fluttering shut against Ashton's chest, so I would move to stay awake- that was until Ashton's arms wrapped around me to keep me still,

"Just go to sleep Pay" he laughed. I nodded and finally let my eyes shut.

< next morning >
< Sunday >

Ashton and I left Luke's house so he could take me home before he went to work. It was still early so I was still pretty tired. I couldn't stop yawning which was making Ashton laugh,

"Go back to bed when I drop you off" he took hold of my hand,

"I will" I laughed which was followed by another yawn.

****

We pulled up in my driveway and since Ashton had about two hours to kill, he came inside with me and followed me up to my room. I changed into a pair of sweatpants and one of Ashton's shirts I stole before laying in my bed with him,

"I did not sleep good last night" Ashton groaned,

"Why?" I chuckled, propping up on my elbows making him tilt his head so we could see each other,

"Sleeping on the floor is not made for me. That killed my back and I'm only eighteen"

"I was probably laying on top of you to so that probably didn't help" I spoke, pushing his curly hair back from his face,

"Nah. I don't mind that. Expect part of me was very happy when we woke up and you were laying on top of me" he wiggled his eyebrows, making me snort,

"Oh I know. I could feel"

Ashton laughed and pulled me to where he could kiss my lips. The kiss was soft and slow. There was no rush and no need to,

"Mhm" Ashton hummed as he pulled back, "I found an apartment complex"

My eyes widened,

"Ash, we don't start college for at least seven months"

I know we're going to get an apartment but I didn't know he was already looking,

"I know. We just tell them when we're moving in and they save our apartment" he nodded, "But it's really nice. It's not too far from UCLA so that's perfect. It's got its own washer and dryer, and the kitchen and living room are all open. Then there's the bedroom and a big bathroom"

"It sounds really nice" I smiled, "But I still need to talk to my mom about the whole thing"

"Yeah of course" Ashton smiled. I nodded and kissed him once more before we continued to just talk, but soon he had to leave.

I walked out on my porch with Ashton. As soon as we were outside, he turned to me,

"I'll see you tomorrow. I'll pick you up and your brothers"

"That works. I'll see you tomorrow" I smiled,

"Okay. Bye! Love you!"

"Love you too"
