It's you

Chapter 8

Ashton greets Stacey’s mother as soon as she opens the door for him.

“Oh, it’s you. Come in.”, she says, letting him to get in the house.

“I’m so glad that you and Stacey already make up.”, she continues, Ashton nod and smiles at it. He thinks she’s the 100th person who said that to him.

“She’s upstairs.”, she tells him as she knows what is in his mind.

“Thank you.”, Ashton say and goes upstairs.

He’s confused which room he should get in. There are three rooms and he doesn’t know which one is Stacey’s room. Yes, he had been in Stacey’s room before but that was years ago. What if she's already moved to the other room?

“Hey! You came.”, as expected, she’s already moved to the other room which is in the middle. Her room was at the left side before because it was near to Ashton’s who lived next to her house.

Stacey allows him to come in her room and he gets in as he looks around the room. It decorated beautifully and there are two bookcases that grab his attention. It loaded with books!

“Wow!”, that’s the only word that slips out from his mouth.

“What?”, she turns to him and sees him pointing at the bookcases with his surprised expression that makes her chuckles at it. She then goes to her study table and takes her seat. She also prepared two extra chairs for her friends.

“Enjoy viewing my room.”, she say and takes her phone to text Annie.

“You play guitar?”, Ashton asks after seeing the guitar that lying on her bed. He’s still with the same expression, surprised.

“Can you stop doing that look? It’s ugly.”, she laughs. Ashton takes out the guitar from its case, ignoring what she just said.

“Handle with care.”, she warns, he replies it with moving his eyebrows up and down. Means, he will. Then, his hands start to play the guitar strings. She doesn’t surprise with it because most of the boys can play guitar.

“Can you sing?”, he asks.

“Not really.”, she replies. Ashton starts to play ‘Thinking out loud’ and without realizing it, she begins to sing and that’s another surprise for Ashton because she can sings too!

“Wow..”, he says, lost for words. She feels her face becomes warm, blushing. She turns to her table immediately and pretending to do her biology task.

“You wanna do it already?”, says Ashton and she nods. He puts the guitar back on the bed then he takes his bag and sits beside her.

“You can continue playing it if you want. We can study together when Annie’s here.”, she says.

“I want to join you.”, he replies.

“Okay then.”, she shrugs.

“When will Annie come?”

“I don’t know.”, she answers, pouting. Ashton who sees it feels that she’s so cute and he starts to stare at her.

“What?”, she says when realizing him staring at her.

“Nothing. You’re cute.”, he praises her.

“You just know it? Ah, that’s sad.”, she says while making up a sad face that makes him chuckles, that’s funny.

“What are we doing? Let’s start working!”

They continue working on their task but about half hour later, Stacey feels sleepy that she keeps on yawning.

“It’s not even an hour and you’re already sleepy?”, Ashton says sarcastically.

“I only sleep for 4 hours last night.”, tells her. She watched Youtube last night that she didn’t know it’s already 2 a.m. Ah! Youtube is addictive.

“What actually did you do last night?”, asks him curiously.

“You don’t have to know.”, she replies.

“Okay then. I don’t want to know it anyway.”, his words are a bit cold.

“Good.”, she says with her sleepy eyes. She falls asleep at last while she’s still sitting straight. She lifts her head many times as it keeps falling while her eyes are closed. Ashton then puts her head on his shoulder and watching her sleeping soundly on his shoulder. His heart beats faster all of a sudden and nears his face to Stacey’s, he doesn’t even know what is he doing. Without him knowing, his lips already on hers and Stacey who’s still sleeping, doesn’t know that her first kiss is already stolen. The sudden ring from Stacey’s phone realizing him of what he's doing and he quickly gets his lips away from Stacey’s.

“Hey, your phone’s ringing.”, he shakes her shoulder. She responds, slowly opens her eyes. Seems like she doesn’t know what he did to her just now. He hides a smile, that’s a relief. She might murder him if she knew. Whew!

“Your phone.”, this time, he hands the phone to her.

“Hello.”, she answers her phone, still half asleep. After talking for a while with whoever the caller is, she ends the call.

“What is it?”, asks Ashton.

“Annie. She said that she’s now on the way.”, she tells him.

“Oh.”, he responds and suddenly feeling something like uncomfortable and awkward with her although she doesn’t know about what had happened.

Ash, what happen to you?
