AFRAID {a.i.}

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Song of the Chapter: Family Portrait - P!nk.

"I want to meet your grandma and Jeff." Ashton blurted out. I turned and looked at him. I picked up the empty cups and put them in the rubbish bag I was reluctantly carrying around.

"What?" I laughed and continued picking up rubbish. Ashton was grabbing the candles from the pool and putting them in a bag also.

"I'm serious, I want to meet them. I feel like I have the right now." Ashton smirked and I rolled my eyes, as I passed him by the pool.

"You've seen me naked and you think you have the right to meet my family?" I chuckled and he nodded. "You're a dick."

"Come on, what's the worst that could happen?" Ashton approached me and stopped me. His hands fell to my waist and I smiled.

"Hmm, let me think. You'll say something wrong, they won't like you and I'll never be able to see you again." I smirked and he shook his head, grinning like a little kid.

"You know I've become a pro at climbing into your room, I have got that down. We will be fine. Come on, think about it." He tapped my nose and I slapped him at how patronising he was being.

"You know you're looking pretty good today... But I'm sure you'd look better," I pushed him, "in the pool." The water splashed everywhere and I laughed loudly. Ashton made his way to the surface, flicking his hair back. He glared at me trying to grab my leg. I stepped back, giggling.

"You sure can be a bitch." I gasped at his comment and he jumped out of the pool. He grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder.

"Ashton I can't swim." I yelled, slapping his back. It was true I couldn't swim and the fact I was about to thrown in scared me a little.

"Should of thought about that, shouldn't you?" He could feel him smirk and when he jumped in, he held me tight. I felt my body hit the cold water and Ashton pulled me up. "You alright?"

"That's cute." I laughed, wiping my eyes. Ashton wrapped his arms around me and nodded, winking. "You know Jeff will be back here in like an hour, we need to clear up."

"I have better ideas." Ashton placed his lips on mine and I smiled as I kissed back. My eyes shot open when someone cleared their throat. I looked over to the door. Jeff.

"Jeff, um, welcome back..." I tried to smile but this was awkward. Jeff didn't look happy.

"My house is a mess and you're canoodling in my pool, it appears something's wrong here." Jeff crossed his arms and I tried not to laugh.

"Jeff, I only just jumped in the pool, okay? Look at the garden, I've cleared it all. I think Brad should be punished he was on house duty but he's having sex with Ana in his bedroom." I spoke, Ashton was still and appeared to say nothing.

"Clear this up now. Brad!" He yelled and walked back into the house. He was angry. Ashton laughed beside me and I slapped him.

"You're lucky, he came when he did, God knows what would have happened." I tried swimming to the side of the pool but failed. Ashton laughed and grabbed me. Pulling me with him to the side of the pool. He lifted me out and I thanked him.

"You know I've always been one to make a first impression good." Ashton jumped out of the pool and I rolled my eyes. I picked the remainders of the empty cups and threw them in the trash. I walked through to the kitchen and Ashton followed. I noticed Brad glaring me. I smirked. Jeff stood with grandma and looked at me.

"Well to lighten the mood," I clapped, "this is the mystery boy, Ashton." I bit my lip. Grandma went to hug Ashton but realised he was drenched so instead she shook his hand.
