I Found My Clarity Under Gold Skies (Zedd and Martin Garrix)

Chapter 8

*Ashley's POV*

I was nervous. What if he's going to kidnap me? I was sure he wouldn't but nothing is impossible. My jaw dropped when I saw where we were. At his house. I'm at Zedd's house. Oh my God. Is this real life?

"Impressed?" He smiled. "We arrived at the sweet and humble place I call home." I laughed. "Humble?"

He laughed too. His laugh is so cute. "Let's go." He said and we got off the car. "What you want to do first? Play Mario Kart 8 or see what I want to show you?" He opened the door.

"See what you want to show me!" I answered happily. Anton turned the lights on and I saw his TV on the wall and his living room was a mess. "Sorry about the mess. I would tidy up here but I woke up a little late and I had to run." He put his car keys on a little table near the door and held my hand. "C'mon. I have to show you something." And we ran upstairs.

We stopped in front of a door and he opened it. Anton sat down in front of the keyboard and started to play a song. I recognized the melody. It was Daisy.

Daisy, always climbing up the same tree
Finding love in all the wrong scenes
Daisy, you got me
Daisy, always walking down the wrong streets
Starting fire out of the dead weeds
Daisy, you got me

He started singing. I followed.

Let me show you how a kiss should taste
Trust me, I won't give your heart away
Why you running, running when you got it right here
I would love you if you let me

"You have a beautiful voice." He said and I blushed. "You too." I added. "My voice is only good for background vocals. You can see that I never sang any of my songs and put it on a record but I sing the background vocals." I remember I saw an interview and he said that. "What song do you want me to play next?" Anton smiled.

"I really like Beautiful Now." I said.

"Is it your favorite song in the world?" He asked sounding like a little kid and I laughed.

"Kinda." He laughed too. "Will you sing?"

"Maybe." I made a daring look and he looked at me with puppet eyes. "Okay I'll sing." Anton cheered like a kid. He's a funny guy.

I see what you're wearing, there's nothing beneath it
Forgive me for staring, forgive me for breathing
We might not know why, we might not know how
But baby tonight, we're beautiful now

My phone beeped. It was a message from Martin. "What happened?" Anton asked worried. "It's a message from my friend." I replied and unlocked my phone.

(Martin's bold)

"Hi Ash I'm sorry but I can't make it today. My dad called me and I have to get the next flight to Amsterdam. I'm really sorry :(."
"That's okay Martin but what happened?"

He didn't reply. What if something bad happened? "What happened Ash?" Anton asked again. "It's... It's nothing." I locked my phone and I would say that he didn't believe me at first but he didn't say that. "So, do you want to stay here or do you want to play Mario Kart 8?" He stretched and yawned. "MARIO KART!"

We went downstairs and played for a long time. I just realized that was late when Arkadi arrived with food. "Who wants bacon?" He shouted from the kitchen. "MEEEEEEE!" Anton yelled and ran to the kitchen. I laughed and followed him.

"Who is that girl Anton?" Arkadi asked looking at me. "Oh yeah I forgot. Bro, this is my friend Ashley. And I guess Ashley already know you." Anton said with his mouth full of bacon.
