So this update is relatively short, and I plan on making the next chapter longer. Anyway, enjoy this fluffy update!
Liz had insisted that Ashton came over for dinner tonight. To be honest, I had no idea how it would go. My options ranged from bad to very bad.
Knowing mother, she probably knows what happened weeks ago before first lesson. And she'd probably bring it up when I can actually be humiliated. In other words, when he is here.
"You make it seem like she's out to embarrass you. I think it's cute that she wants to invite me over for dinner. Maybe she'll tell me all of your childhood tales." Ashton chuckled as we walked hand in hand to our fifth lesson. Our classrooms were right across the hall from each other, so we always did that now.
"I know her. We're talking about the woman that gave you and Michael a box of condoms." I groaned.
Ashton, on the other hand, smirked. "Those are going to expire pretty soon. We may need to put them to use."
"Nope. Because there is no place to actually do it. I want a romantic setting. One specifically with no parents around. And Liz Hemmings is everywhere." I warned.
"If you want, I can rent us a hotel suite and we can do it there? We'll just say we're staying the weekend at Calum's or something. Maybe Michael, since your mom and Calum's mom know each other." I blushed, seeing as he put some thought into it.
"I guess we could do that." I giggled because in all honesty, I'd most likely go along with that idea.
"So what should I bring when I come over?" He asked after a moment of silence.
"Just yourself. Mom and I got everything." I informed him as we neared my classroom. Ashton stopped me right at the door and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"I'll bring my best attitude." He chuckled against my lips before leaning down to close the small gap there. I eagerly kissed him back, slinging my arms around his neck.
After about a minute into our makeout session, someone behind me cleared their throat so that Ashton would pull away from me.
"Mr. Hemmings. I had no idea you had it in you." My unbelievably young maths teacher, Mrs. West, smirked at me. My cheeks reddened as my arms loosened from his neck slightly.
"U-uh, I was-" I turned to Ashton for help. He was way better with words than I was.
"He was just saying goodbye to his boyfriend. Is that so wrong?" Despite his tone of voice, he was smirking like a mad man. Mrs. West gasped and looked at me.
"So the rumours I've been hearing are true? Oh my, Lucas, you are quite a little rascal for dating someone without telling me." She teased as she waved her finger around.
"Awe, Lukey. You didn't tell her about us? Shame on you." Ashton chuckled and pecked my nose, causing me to scrunch it.
"Oh, you two are quite adorable," She cooed then took me by the shoulder and pulled me away. "But you still have class in two minutes." She smirked before pulling me into the room. Ashton followed and gave me one last kiss.
"Have fun telling her our story, babe." He chuckled and then walked to his room across the hall.
"I-is that why you pulled me away from my boyfriend?" I asked as she sat at her desk.
"I love that your boyfriend catches on pretty quickly. So anyways, how exactly did this pair happen? You two aren't exactly what people would expect as the ideal couple." She put air quotes at the end of her sentence.
"We where both at the store and then I knocked over a ball display. He helped me and then invited me over for dinner. I mean, he always called me babe for some reason. Now I guess I know why." I shuffled on my feet awkwardly.
"He must really like you. He's even going to class now. You've become a good influence in him." She praised.
"He was never a bad person. Sure, he may get into his scraps every once in a while, but his heart is in the right place." I blushed. There were only three people who knew the real Ashton. Of course, the first one was his mum. The second one was Michael; it makes sense because they'd been friends for ages. And lastly, it was me. Calum knew that Ashton could be happy and full of life, but he doesn't know about "mommy".
"You think very highly of him. I remember when you used to be terrified of the boy." She chuckled reminiscently.
"Sure, most people are afraid of him because of those tattoos and various piercings, but I'm not anymore." I blushed and fiddled with the drawstrings of my hoodie. Mrs. West seemed to understand why.
"Alright, well before you get flustered, you may want to take a seat. Class begins in approximately one minute." Just as she checked her watch, the warning bell rang to signify her accuracy.

"Have a good day, everyone; don't forget to work on pages 443-448," Mrs. West called out as we piled out of the classroom. I was kind of eager to see Ashton because he promised to take me to the gym with him. I of course wasn't going to work out, but I bet he'd look great doing it. "Lucas, quit fangirling over your boyfriends muscles." She smirked wickedly. I was very confused for a moment before I realized that I was indeed talking out loud.
"S-sorry, Mrs. West." I blushed as Ashton had stepped into the room with a grin as wide as my maths teacher's.
"Were you voicing your thoughts again, babe?" He teased and I blushed even harder.
"You people just love to embarrass me, don't you?" I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest. Apparently, that was a mistake in my part,
"Awe, Lukey, you look so cute when you're all pouty." He cooed and shuffled closer to cup my cheeks in his large hands.
"Don't get all kissy-face in my classroom with only two minutes until the warning bell rings." Mrs. West said pointedly before ushering us away.
"I didn't hear her say we couldn't get all kissy-face in the hallway." Ashton smirked and literally attacked my face with kisses.
"Ash, my lesson is on the other side of the school!" I giggled uncontrollably. He finally retreated after one last peck to my nose.
"Then we better get a move on." He laughed before pulling me by my arm and practically dragging me to class.
The next chapter will be the gym visit. And maybe the dinner with Liz.
