Catfish(a.i)

Chapter 3

I stand in front of the tall man, staring into his eyes as I tried to convince myself that all of this was actually real. Ashton Irwin, he was the guy I had fallen in love with through simple text messages, yet he was also the same guy I had fallen in love with through simple videos, pictures, and music. I stutter with my words slightly as I try to find the right things to say. I was almost convinced to turn around and leave because there was no way this could be real. But I knew I had to face the situation, I was on a date with Ashton Irwin.

"Please tell me you aren't regretting everything already," Ashton interrupted my train of thought and my attention immediately went back to him, "Because if it's the shirt, I stole it from Calum and if you don't like it then I promise I won't wear it again." Part of me was quite surprised at how badly Ashton wanted me to be happy with this date, but the fangirl side of me was squealing outside because Cashton could possibly be real. How do you think Ashton got Calum's shirt. That doesn't always just happen.

"No, it's not the shirt," I promise him through a small giggle, finally sitting down with him in the booth he had chosen, "I'm just a little shocked. I didn't expect Ashton Irwin to be the one waiting for me today. But now that I think about it.. I feel kind've stupid for not realizing it sooner." I could feel myself tense up as I heard Ashton giggle, it was so strange seeing him in person, hearing his voice, and actually remaining calm on the outside when I was going fucking psychotic on the inside. I take a moment to realize what any other fan would do during this moment, would they be as calm as I am now?
Ashton chuckled, nodding slightly as he rubbed the back of his neck and revealing to me how nervous he truly was about this date with me.
"I know it's not what you expected... I'm sorry I cat fished you..but can you blame me?" He questioned, slow with his words as he looked at me, his eyes looking me up and down, "It's not like I could calmly say 'Hi! I'm Ashton Irwin!'  If I did, that would attract attention, and not the type of attention I've been hoping to get from you," he chuckled, his words causing my cheeks to flush a dark pink. At this point I was confused about my feelings. I had been cat fished, which would usually piss me off, yet I wasn't mad at all. I was filled with joy, excitement, and pure love for the male I thought I had never seen when, in reality, I was seeing him nearly every day. Was I feeling this just because of his status? Or was I feeling this because I was actually in love with this boy?

I remained almost silent throughout the night, but not because I was bored. Ashton was a complete different person away from camera. He was filled with millions of stories and adventures that had taken place during his life. I craved the adventure that he had taken place in.
Before I knew it, Ashton was walking me home and I was drunk off my ass, considering the fact that he had taken me to the bar not long after we had left the restaurant. Both of us had spent the night just drinking and talking. I laugh as I make my way up the stairs, falling on the last step and laughing even though I had scraped my knee. Ashton just chuckled, picking me up and carrying me inside.
"My room is the first on the right," I slurred, giggling uncontrollably as he carried me into the bedroom. He set me down on the bed, taking off my shoes for me and pulling the blankets over my body. He set his water bottle down next to me and made me drink it, providing me with Advil as well.
"You're sexy," I giggled as I lay in bed and stared at the tall male. Ashton just chuckled, sitting down next to me before pressing his lips up against mine. I felt nothing but love and passion in the kiss, but being my drunk self, I pushed him off. "What the hell?! Leave! Now!" I screamed, watching as the boys eyes went wide. I had clearly fucked up, but of course I didn't realize. Ashton quickly left the room. I lay down, clearly frustrated about something I had actually enjoyed. I knew I would regret this the next morning.
