I didn't want to lie to him. I hated that I lied to him. But I was just so confused with everything.
I knew I needed to move out, have my own space. I knew that. I hated that I constantly felt like I was invading Ashton's privacy, so getting an apartment was a must.
But our relationship, that was where I was stuck. I don't know whether I wanted to continue or not, I liked him... A lot but what if he didn't? What if he just thinks he likes me but really is just misinterpreting his feelings for friendship.
I was just scared about two things: telling him I was moving out and this weekends trip to my mothers.
When Ashton went to work the next day, I didn't have a shift till later in the day so I called up my mom, telling her I was going to visit, with in fact a boyfriend.
She was surprisingly excited, I'm sure it was because I was finally bringing someone home..
I grabbed my purse and my phone, as well as the spare key Ashton gave me a while ago. I patted Maxie's head before walking out, locking the door on my way out.
I begin walking out of the building just as Ashton walks in, looking extremely handsome.
He wears black skinny jeans with ripped knee holes, his shirt cut off making it a muscle tee, his biceps flexing as he scratches the stubble on his chin. His eyes light up when he notices me.
"You wore that to work?" I chuckle a little, they couldn't possibly let him wear that.
"Nah, I was wearing this flannel over it." He says, shaking the black and blue flannel in his hand. I nod and grip my purse.
"Well I'm headed to work," I say as I begin walking, Ashton follows.
"Let me take you so you don't have to walk."
I shake my head, a small smile on my lips. "No it's fine, I've walked before."
"Fine, I'll just walk with you." He says and I turn to face him, a mischievous smile on his lips.
I let out a breathy chuckle and nod, "Alright, Irwin."
And so we begin walking to the music store, our arms brushing every so often.
"Your literally teasing me." He says chuckling, I turn to him confused.
"How?"
"Your hand, it's just next to mine... It's just tempting." He says sighing and I instantly feel bad and angry at myself for having a stupid fear.
I bite my lip, reaching out for his hand, he looks at me but doesn't say anything as we walk, hand in...hand.
It's silent minus the hussle and bussle around us.
"So I was thinking... When we go to your moms are we staying there or getting a hotel? I rather not drive two hours back in the middle of the night." Ashton says and I instantly shudder at the thought of staying at my moms house.
"We can get a hotel." He nods and mutters a small okay in response.
We near the store and Ashton stops walking, pulling me into his chest as he leans against a brick wall.
"I have to go to work y'know." He chuckles, sighing. His hands on my waist.
"I know, I just like... Affection and being able to kiss you whenever, y'know." I nod my head, not trusting my voice.
He smiles sweetly at me before ducking his head down to my level, his nose judges with mine like always before his lips attach to mine.
It's a rather slow kiss, the feeling of Ashton's fingertips are felt im under my chin lightly as he lifts my head to meet him in the middle.
My stomach is doing summersaults, my fingers are tingling and I can't help but feel an electricity so high that we can light up the entire city.
Ashton's the first to break the kiss, his forehead meeting mine. "Was it just me or was that possibly the best kiss we've every shared." Ashton says smiling at me like a goof.
I bite my lip, my cheeks pink as always.
"Possibly." I chuckle quietly, Ashton smiles at me, sighing as he drops his hands back to mine, intertwining our fingers.
"Well I guess you have to work..." He says as he pouts. I chuckle and nod, stepping out of his embrace.
"I'll pick you up when your done, yeah?" He asks and I instantly nod.
"Maybe... You can walk to get me?"
"Why is that?" He asks genuinely wondering.
"I-I don't know... I just liked walking with you." I admit, looking at my shoes then back to Ashton.
He grins at me and nods. "Of course, love."
