"You should come with us! It'll be fun!" Jesse says tugging on my shirt sleeve. I groan, my head falling back. She and Emma were trying to get me to have a girls night - no boyfriends but I wasn't up for it. Not because Ashton couldn't come but because they were far too girly than I was - I didn't really care for any of it.
"Ashton will be fine for one night away from you." Emma adds and I shake my head at the girls. "I really don't care to see that movie though." I say, leaning my head on my hand, my arm leaning on the cash register.
"Please! For me." Jesse begs and I groan once again. I knew I was going to agree. I didn't like disappointing people, I was definitely a people pleaser.
"Fine-"
I'm cut off by my phone blaring it's obnoxious ringtone in my pocket.
"It's Ashton! $20 says its Ashton." Jesse says elbowing Emma. I roll my eyes, answering my phone in front of the two girls staring at me.
"Hello?"
"Hey babe, you still at work?" Ashton asks. I can't help but stifle a laugh when Jesse begins to fist pump, she must have heard his voice.
"Yeah, the girls are trying to make me go see that Magic Mike movie with them."
"Not trying! She already said yes!" Jesse yells, moving the phone from my ear slightly. I roll my eyes at the giggling girls and walk to the back room, hoping to get some silence.
Ashton chuckles through the phone, "Well have fun with the girls - I'll probably go out with the boys or something, if not I'm just going to chill at your place till you get home."
"Oh alright, I'll text you later just to see what your up to." I say picking at a cardboard box.
"Alright, babe. Talk to you later, love you."
"Love you too."
I guess I had no reason not to go with the girls.

"All that pelvic thrusting built me up an appetite, what do you say ladies? Applebee's?" Emma asks, unlocking her car door.
I shrug, letting Jesse answer for me. To be fair, the movie wasn't that big of a deal. Sure it had shirtless attractive guys dancing in it but none of them compared to Ashton. Not that I've ever seen him dancing raunchily in front of me but I have seen him shirtless - and that is a sight to see.
"Earth to Kat!" Jesse says from the passenger seat, I must have zoned out.
"Sorry what?" I ask, leaning forward a little to hear her voice over the radio. Just then did I realize we were driving already, wow, okay I really zoned out.
"I was asking how you liked the movie." She says with a smirk, she knew I didn't give a flying fuck about it. She just wanted to tease me.
"It was okay." I shrug, turning to face the window. "Just okay? You didn't get all blushy and flustered?" Jesse asks and I roll my eyes at her.
"No, I've seen strippers before." Emma and Jesse both laugh and I can't help but let out a sigh. They were rather annoying but most days not this annoying.
"When? Last time I checked you were too awkward to even date Ashton." Jesse says and I blush, my eyes wandering to my clammy hands.
"Well Ashton - he strips for me." I lie, shrugging my shoulders.
Jesse lets out a boisterous laugh, Emma chuckling a little. She didn't really know Ashton like Jesse knew Ashton.
"Your lying, you still have your v-card. Do you strip for him? Do you guys even touch each other?" Jesse asks but this time she isn't joking, she's genuinely curious.
"Well first off, relationships aren't based off sex, so there isn't much of a need for it." I start, Emma and Jesse both scoff but let me continue. "And well we kiss and cuddle together...." I shrug, I didn't want to tell them about our 'baby steps' or the one time we had a shirtless make out session. I would never live it down with these two.
"That's it? Doesn't Ashton want more?" Jesse asks, her voice full of curiosity.
"Well I'm sure he does because he's a guy but we talked about it and he's okay with waiting after marriage." I say, waiting for the laughs from my two girlfriends but I don't get any.
Instead Jesse nods, patting my knee, a caring smile on her lips. "Well that's good for you guys, I know we are cracking jokes at you but if that's how you want to live then good for you girl." She says and I smile at her, my head nodding at her words.

Ashton's POV
"We should plan a trip to Vegas or something, just us guys. No girlfriends, Irwin." Calum says raising a brow at me. I chuckle, shrugging my shoulders.
"I don't know mates, I can't stay away from Kat for too long." Michael and Luke groan at my words, making my chuckle at their reactions.
I raise my beer to my lips, taking a decent size gulp.
"I'm serious though, just us four in Vegas, living life to the fucking fullest." Calum says hyping up the trip idea. I mean it didn't seem too bad, nothing wrong with hanging with my guys like old times.
"I'm in." I shrug, Calum smiles triumphantly at me, then turns to the two other lads. "What about you guys?"
Michael and Luke shrug simultaneously, "Why the hell not." Michael says and Luke agrees straight afterwords.
"So it's set, maybe we should go in a month or two..." Calum speaks, taking out his phone to look at his calendar.
"We can go for like 4 days, Friday through Monday." Michael adds, we are all quick to agree.
"Alright well maybe we can go at the beginning of next month?" Calum asks and we all shrug. I'm sure we could all do that.
"Alright well we'll just do that, I'll buy the tickets soon so I'll send you guys the amount so you guys can pay your way." Calum says typing in his phone and we all agree.
I put my beer to my lips, my eyes roaming the small dark pub.
I felt like such a dad, such a geezer. Not only was I already tired and ready to go home and sleep - I really wanted to see Kat and cuddle up with her. I haven't seen her all day and she was all that was on my mind all day long.
Speaking of my girl, my phone begins to ring and I instantly put it to my ear, ignoring the gagging noises Calum and Luke are making beside me.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I'm on my way home just wondering what you were up to." Her angelic voice speaks through the receiver.
"Just leaving the bar, actually." I say putting ten bucks on our table and patting each of the boys on the back.
"He's so fucking whipped." Michael laughs as I begin to walk out the pub, so what Michael, so what.
"Oh okay, well I'll see you at my place?" Kat asks and I nod, unlocking my car door.
"Course, baby, see you there."
