Ashton's POV
The sun was setting, turning the sky a beautiful orange with tints of pink. The glowing colors definitely lit up Kat's pale complexion giving her a pretty glimmer.
"You hungry?" I ask, turning to her then back to the mostly empty sidewalk.
"Yeah, you can pick where." She says knowing what my next question was going to be.
"Mexican?"
She shrugs and tilts her head to look at me, then back to the concrete underneath us.
"Sure."

"What did you do while I was at work?" Kat asks while taking a bite out of her taco. I wipe my mouth with a napkin, trying to finish what's in my mouth before I talk.
"Bum around, watched tv, played with Maxie... The usual." I say shrugging and she nods as she chews what's in her mouth.
We continued to eat in silence, every time I would look to Kat she was already looking at me. I tried to question the odd behavior but she'd just ignore my furrowed eyebrows.
After our dinner we left, continuing our descend home. Our shoulders would nudge each other, her knuckle lightly tapping my knuckles with every step we took.
I slipped my hand through hers, intertwining our fingers together, she didn't even stiffen this time. I turn to her, her face in thought, the top of her fingers touching the bride of her nose, where her sunglasses use to lay.
"What are you thinking about...?" I ask quietly, she looks at me then back ahead of us.
"I don't know..." She mumbles. I go to speak but she continues. "I just... I can't explain it... You make me feel things... I - I just am a jumbled up mess." She rambles, I hide my smile despite the fact that she is obviously dealing with something internally.
"I hope good things... Right?" I try to joke, she gives me a pity laugh and nods. "I suppose so."
I give her hand a light squeeze, reassuring that whatever she's feeling is okay.
"I just - I don't want to ask for affection.... Like I want it but not because Imm saying I want it." She blurts out and a grin spreads across my lips.
"I don't know why I said that." She says trying to pull her hand away from mine but I hold her still, letting go of her hand, I wrap my arm around her shoulder, bringing her into my chest.
"That's normal Kat, it's okay to talk about this - about anything really, especially with me." She sighs, her warm breath fanning my chest.
"Okay." She says quietly, I smile, leaving a light kiss on her forehead. She tilts her head upward, giving me a small smile showing me she isn't uncomfortable.
She stands in her tip toes, her hand going to my cheek, her lips slowly attach to mine. My arm drops to her waist slowly, my mind concentrated on Kat's soft and slow moving lips against mine.
She's the first to break the kiss, her hand still on my cheek.
"Are you okay?" I chuckle quietly, extremely confused but elated with Kat's knew sudden urge of affection.
"Yeah I just... I don't know, I feel.... Whipped." She says scrunching her nose, a small chuckle escaping her lips.
I smile at her, pecking her nose as we continue to walk home.
"Glad I got you wrapped around my finger." I say winking at her, she chuckles, nudging her shoulder with mine.
