you both went inside and took a seat talling to one another

you asked him as he glanced around before looking back to you

ashton-safe

you smiled as his hand slid into yours just staring while you read out the menu to him

you glanced up to him as he glanced over to a woman ordering at the counter

you pulled your phone out watching him walk over to the counter

thr woman gave him a small smile waiting for her order, clearly.

he smiled gazing down her outfit just like he would with you

you gathered your things done with the bullshit you were watching and made ur way to the door basically bursting out

??-arent you with her?
the woman asked seeing you walk out

he sighed

you made your way down the street on your phone before you called rowan

you asked now walking slower down the street, your phone raised to your ear

rowan-out, she said shes going on a date
he sighed clearing his throat after to hide his sadness

you ended the call smiling to him and unlocking your door

you-did you get the cracker too?

he smiled
rowan-are you stupid? its ur favourite part of course i got them

you smiled opening a few of your windows because it was crazy hot and went into the kitchen ready to make your lunch with him

he lay all the ingredients out and you smiled tying your hair back

you-tacos
you whispered grabbing the first couple ingredients putting them into a bowl with him

rowan-your an amazing cook you know

you-not anymore im not, i barely have time to cook

rowan-really?

you nodded glancing over to your door seeing ashton stood there upset

his eyes fell to rowan before he walked off over to his house

it's his own fault.
