HIGH ON LOVE// ASHTRAY x OC

first dates and crab legs

I was freaking the fuck out. I felt as if I didn't know how to walk, my hands were constantly shaking, I was sweating and my heartbeat was going way too fast for my brain to comprehend.

Ashtray had told me to be ready by 7PM. That meant that I had the entire day to prepare yet here I was, an hour until our date with nothing ready.

"You're dumbass could wear a paper bag and I'd still think you look beautiful."

While the comment was sweet, it wasn't helpful when I asked how I should dress. I knew I was playing it safe when my eyes landed on these baggy light washed jeans.

Not bad.

Next, I decided on a white, bustier strapless top. The two looked great together and I paired them with simple sneakers, not wanting to have the night ruined by painful heels.

Okay Mia, now onto the hair.

I didn't do anything crazy, just a half up, half down hairstyle with two pieces framing my face. For the jewelry, I kept it classy with thick hoops, my gold necklace and a gold bracelet.

"Okay Mia, play it cool," I tell myself in the mirror. "You are the baddest bitch and it's not like Ashtray doesn't already like you!" I groaned at myself, fuck I was a lost cause. Then, the front doorbell rang and I felt all the blood leave my body.

Oh shit

I quickly grabbed my cross body and ran downstairs, making sure everything in the house was safely turned off and locked. Stopping before the door, I took a deep breath.

Let's do this

Let's not do this actually. If I thought Ashtray looked absolutely attractive before, he looked downright sexy right now. He wore a button down with some jeans and some fresh kicks.

Obviously his chain was present and I don't know what it was but he just looked good. Like there was a light behind him or something that made him look ten times better than the last time I had seen him.

"You act like you've never seen me before," Ashtray says, a soft smile on his face as he leans in to kiss me on the cheek. "You look beautiful princess,"

"Excuse me if I didn't realize you were gonna look this good dumbass," I mumble sarcastically as I went to close the front door. "But thanks Ash,"

Ashtray led me to the car and opened my door for me as he always did. On my chair was a beautiful bouquet of flowers, I gasped at the sentiment.

"These are so fucking cute!" I say as I lean over to kiss his cheek. "You're the only person who's ever gotten me flowers," I admit to him, holding them delicately, afraid I would hurt them.

Ashtray smiled at my excitement and began to drive wherever he had planned.

"I'm not giving you a hint bro," Ashtray groaned at my constant nagging.

"Cmon Ash!" I plead. "Just a little one? It won't hurt anybody!"

"That ruins the whole point of it being a surprise!" He replies, turning the music lower so we could talk.

"But I'm nervous!" I whine at him, trying to get him to crack. It worked for two seconds until his face remained stoic.

"We're almost there princess," Ashtray tells me. "Just a few more minutes,"

I looked out the window in anticipation. We were driving along the beach like we had the other day but this time, we were passing all of the shops and piers, going into a much less live part of the area.
