More Than a Teacher - Ashton Irwin

43

Ashton kisses my lips, turning off the ignition in the car. His soft hand drags from my jaw and down my arm to intertwine with my tiny one.

"Secretly hate having to let you leave my side. If I could, I'd put math class on your timetable every single period of every day." He smiles against my lips and sparks ignite in my chest at the feeling.

"Mm math all day everyday. Sounds more like a punishment to me." I giggle.

Although I love being around Ashton, math is awful and I'd never wish a full schedule of math on anyone.

"You're right. I'd actually hate being with the rest of your class. I'd probably end up strangling those idiots up the front." He jokes, referring to Luke and Michael who constantly give him a hard time.

It's true. Michael and Luke can be a pain in the ass and especially nosey when it comes to our relationship. It's they're favorite topic to talk about and they love stirring up Ash just to get a reaction from him.

"This has healed well." He flips over my wrist, gently swiping his thumb over the small remaining scars.

Ashton's was able to treat them so well that they healed sooner than expected and also closed over seamlessly. Unless you look really closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that there were several cuts lining my skin.

"Mhm, all thanks to you." I lean over the middle console, pecking a kiss to his cheek.

I heave my bag over my shoulder and pop open the car door.

"I'll see you soon darling." He watches me as I slide out of the passenger seat.

As my feet hit the ground, I quickly pull the hem of my skirt down as it flips up when I slide out.

"Well actually I think I'll spend first break with Elle and the boys. Haven't sat with them for a while. I know Elle would be missing me." I hold open the door, speaking to him still sitting in the driver's seat.

"You do whatever you want baby, you know where I'll be if you change your mind." He buttons up a few more buttons on his black and white checkered shirt.

He left this morning with the whole thing undone as we were running very late due to some activity that shouldn't be spoken about on school grounds.

"Alright, bye!" I wave, throwing the heavy door closed before hurrying off into the school gates, just as the bell rings for class.

Today feels good. Things are feeling kind of alright, my mind is at peace and I'm happy where my relationship with Ashton is at right now. Things are going well and I hope they stay like this forever.

"Well would you look who it is." The electric red haired boy tuts and I roll my eyes, taking a seat next to Luke.

"What is it, my birthday?" Luke sarcastically grins through his mouth of food.

"Oh shut up." I dump my bag onto the table as they continue making jokes about me never sitting with them for lunch anymore.

"Big daddy busy is he?" Luke wiggles an eyebrow at me as I take out the salad Ashton put together for lunch.

It looks so yummy. It's basic salad greens, tomatoes, carrots and left over marinated chicken from last night's dinner.

I sigh, trying to keep the smirk off my face because I know it will only encourage them to continue being annoying by calling Ashton big daddy. It's funny hearing it from them but I'd appreciate it if they didn't refer to him as that. I've told them multiple times not to do it, but when do Michael and Luke ever listen?
