"Count me down babe."

Ronnie's P.O.V

"Wait, how long do I need to let this cook for?" Ashton asked me. We were currently making dinner together at my house. My parents were out for dinner & I didn't want to eat alone so I had Ashton come hang out with me.

"It's mac & cheese. How do you not know?"

"Well sorry Ronnie. I don't cook a lot."

"Yea. I got that." I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Hey now!" Ashton walked over to me. "Be nice. I'm trying here."

"I know. & I appreciate that." I smiled as I leaned up to kiss him. "But like ten minutes."

"Thanks. I'll set the timer real quick & then I'll show you what I was thinking we could do for the next ten minutes while it cooks."

"What? Make out? Are you that cheesy"

Ashton ran over to the stove to set the timer & then he walked back over to me before he grabbed my hips & placed me on the counter top.

"Well, it is mac & cheese so I'm allowed to be cheesy. It's our theme for tonight."

"Oh my god, Ash. You're a complete dork."

"I don't care. I want to kiss you." Ashton smirked before he placed his lips on mine. "Is that okay?"

"Yea, it's perfect." I wrapped my legs around him & I pulled him in closer to me. Ashton's hands were wrapped around my neck as he held me close to him, his lips never leaving mine until the timer beeped.

"Do you like over-cooked noodles?" Ashton laughed as he turned to look at the stove top.

"No, definitely not. Why?"

"Because I want to keep kissing you."

"Go drain the pasta!" I pushed Ashton away. "We can continue after dinner okay?"

"Oh. I know we are. That isn't even a question, Ron."

Ashton drained the noodles for me & then he mixed in the cheese sauce as well before he poured the mac & cheese into two bowls & placed it on the table for us.

"Dinner is served."

After we ate, Ashton & I went over to the sofa & we continued where we left off until my parents came home. Once they were home, Ashton & I went back to being rated PG & we cuddled as we watched a movie. Since tomorrow is our last day of school, we didn't have any homework to do & so we could spend the night just relaxing which was insanely nice.

"Ronnie?"

"Yes babe?"

"I hope you know that you make me really happy."

"What?" I asked as I sat up to face Ashton on the sofa. 

"You just make me extremely happy & I want you to know that. When I'm with you, I like honestly feel as if nothing is wrong in the world. My face literally hurts from smiling when I'm with you but it's a good kind of hurt. & my body always feels all warm & like when you look at me, I just can't help but think about how much I love you. You make me really happy."

Ashton put up his hand & then I lined my hand up with his, obviously noticing how much bigger his hands are than mine, but then he interlocked our fingers & he kissed the back of my hand.

"I just want to keep you happy too, Ron. I want you to always be happy."

"You do, Ash. You really do. See this smile? It's all because of you."
