Sophie

"You look like a puppy waiting in the window." Katie teased and I gasped as I turned around to see her grinning at me.

"I am not a puppy!" I defended myself and she laughed as she shook her head and then sat down next to me on her bed.

"I mean it in a cute way, Soph. I've never seen you like this with anyone." She said softly and I blushed as I stared down at my hands in my lap.

"I've never felt like this with anyone." I chuckled. Saying that out loud scared the crap out of me, but it was true. I've dated a couple of guys here and there, but none of them ever made me feel the way Ashton did. When I think about Ashton, butterflies erupt in my stomach and my heart starts to beat all crazy. He was all I thought about and I wanted to spend every waking minute with him.

Holy shit, I was in love with Ashton Maverick.

"Sophie, are you in love with Ashton?" Katie asked excitedly, basically reading my mind, and I felt my face get really hot. I instantly knew I was blushing and Katie squealed excitedly as I buried my face in my hands. "Oh my God! You love him!" She exclaimed as she shook me and we burst into a fit of giggles.

"Is that crazy? I mean we've only been dating for two months."

"What does that matter? You guys have basically had feelings for each other since you were kids! Are you going to tell him?" I bit my lip nervously and shrugged.

"I don't want to scare him away, I mean we haven't even had sex yet and here I am falling in love with him." I groaned and Katie gasped as she stared at me in disbelief.

"You guys haven't had sex yet?" I blushed even harder as I shook my head and her jaw fell open in shock. "Why not?!" She exclaimed and I shrugged again.

"I don't know! Every time we got close to doing it, he stops and says that he wants it to be special!" Katie rolled her eyes and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"You listen to me, Sophia. Tonight, you are going to have sex with Ashton Maverick after you tell him that you are head over heals in love with him."

"I am not telling him that!" I yelled, but she didn't listen to me as she jumped off her bed and ran toward her dresser and yanked open a drawer.

"I just bought this sexy lingerie set and I am gifting it to you to wear tonight." She held up a pink lacy dress thing and I felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head once I saw it.

"Katie, I am not wearing that!" I said standing up and pushing her hand away, but she grabbed my overnight bag and stuffed it inside just as Ashton's car pulled up in front of her house.

"He's here!" She sang excitedly as she picked up my bag and took off down the stairs.

"Katie, I'm serious! I'm not wearing that!" I yelled after her, but she just laughed as she ripped open the front door and Ashton was walking towards us with a questioning smile on his face.

"Um, hi ladies." He chuckled as Katie handed me my bag and I glared at her.

"Hello, Ashton! Well, I hope you guys have a great weekend!" She grinned mischeviously as she retreated back inside the house and pushed me outside.

"I'm going to kill you!" I hissed and she grinned wider as she winked at me.

"Love you too, Sophie. You'll thank me later and I want to hear all about this weekend when you get back." She blew us a kiss and then shut the door before I could follow after her.

"Do I want to know what that was all about?" Ashton asked with a chuckle as he snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me close to his chest.

"I missed you." I whispered as I wrapped my arms behind his neck and thankfully was able to change the subject. I would die of embarrassment if he found out what we were talking about.

"I missed you too, beautiful. Are you ready for the best weekend ever?" He kissed me before I could answer and I tangled my fingers in his hair as I got lost in his kiss. If this was kiss was a preview of how the rest of the weekend was going to go, then I was definitely more excited than I already was.

"We gotta go, or we'll miss the game." I breathed out as I reluctantly pulled away from him and grabbed his hand.

"Let's go, gorgeous." He smiled as he grabbed my bag with his other hand then started to walk towards his car. My heart was racing a mile a minute as he opened the car door for me and I climbed inside. I wasn't going to lie and say that I wasn't thinking about telling Ashton that I was in love with him, but I had to find the right moment to tell him.
