Summer love [H.S]

twenty-two

Today was ashtons birthday and since we couldn't throw a huge party we wanted to make it somewhat special. We all woke up super early and ran to the store to buy everything that was on the list i made.

ashtons birthday list:
1. ice cream cake
2. party decoration
3.happy bday banner
4. napkins
5.number 21 candles (:

We all helped decorate as soon as we got home. I thought it looked amazing. Next was the cake. I opened the box.

"Louis?" I call for him.

"Yeah?"

"why doesn't the cake say 'happy birthday ashton'?"

"because that wasn't on the list" he scratches his head. i give him a concerned look.

"lou, you should know that you have to put happy birthday since its his birthday"

"but it wasn't on the list" he says looking at me confused.

"you're lucky i love you"

I just put the candles on and told everyone i was done. All of us made our way to ashtons room. He was still sleeping. His hair was messy and he had a little smile on his face. He looked so cute when he was sleeping. Quietly, we walked up to his bed.

"Surprise!" ashton screamed. We all shouted back.

"You're supposed to be sleeping!" I frowned.

"Oh I'm sorry, does this help?" he went back under his covers and squinted one eye. he was giggling so i couldn't help but smile. On the count of 3 we all sang happy birthday and he jumped up pretending to be surprised. the candles were blown out and everyone cheered.

"sorry i ruined your surprise" his hand slowly makes it's way wrapped around my waist, the cake being the only thing coming between us.

"Its alright I appreciate the effort" i cheekily smile. He kisses my forehead.

"thanks for the cake babe"

"awww" everyone except harry says. i felt horrible, this wasn't right and i knew it but something told me to keep it going. then i saw harry kiss ashley and i remembered exactly why i was doing this. I looked at Ashton and he just gave me an "Its alright" look. I nodded.

"Alright let me just get changed and i'll be down in a bit." Everyone including me started to head downstairs when a pair of arms grabbed me. I was now inside of Harry's room and pushed against the wall. "You can cut the act." Our faces were so close, almost touching.

"I dont know what you mean" but I did.

"I know the whole lovey dovey act with drummer boy is just a sham" He paused but i knew he wasn't done talking. "And i know its all to make me jealous" He had a smirk on his face, he thought he was so right. Well he sort of was, but i wasn't going to let him think that.

"Well sorry to burst your ego bubble Harry but it isn't an act, there are other people in this world besides you and Ashton is one of those people that unlike you actually cares and doesn't want to hurt me. " I broke out of his grasp and headed to the door. "I hope you know that I did care about you which i see clearly wasn't enough but hey if you're having fun with your barbie doll of a girlfriend that's all that matters right?" I opened the door and walked out without a word from both of us.

I knocked on Ashton's door surprised that he was still there "heyo!" He said very bubbly

"Hi" I said chuckling

"Whats up?" He said pouting

"Oh I just talked to Harry he said us dating is an act to make him jealous and I told him it wasn't...we'll it was something along those lines" i put on an innocent smile remembering what I said to him but now that I think about it there are so so so many other things I could've said to him but I couldn't think of any at the moment.

"Go Ave" He gave me a high five

"Ave? I don't think ive ever really heard that nickname before"

"Yay then it is just my nickname for you" He smiled

"So i guess we are officially fake dating now" I let out a deep sigh

"I guess so" He gave me a sympathetic smile.

"Hey people are waiting for you downstairs birthday boy cmon"

-

"I'm so full" Ashton said groaning.

"Ashton all we ate was cake" I said laughing even though I was really full myself. All of us inhaled the cake we bought for him and were all currently scattered around the living room.

"I dont think I can ever eat cake again" Liam said holding his stomach.  Everyone groaned. I wanted to take Ashton out today and I finally decided him and I should go to the beach.

I stood up and held my hand out for him. I lead him to my room. no offense to the boys but I kinda just wanted it to be me and Ashton. I'm fake dating the boy might as well get to know him.

"I thought that we should go to the beach today. just me and you. considerate a birthday present" I cheekily smile.

"sounds like a plan" he smiles and leans in to kiss me. the kiss was slow and passionate. it felt good but it didn't feel like harrys. Don't get me wrong though Ashton is an amazing kisser.

I wasn't sure why he kissed me though. Harry wasn't anywhere near us.

"I'll go get ready. where do you want to meet?" Ashton asks me.

"just come back here" I tell him. he nods and walks out.

Harrys POV

I was never a cake person so while everyone was groaning and moaning I was just sitting back mentally laughing at everyone.

That was until I saw Avery take Ashton upstairs. so much could happen upstairs. so I decided to be the adult and followed them upstairs just to make sure everything was fine and safe.

I heard Avery tell Ashton that she wanted to go to the beach. just them two. then they kissed. of course.

so much could happen upstairs. like getting your heartbroken.

I decided to go to the beach myself, but with Ashley of course. can't forget my girlfriend! I pulled her upstairs.

"we're going go the beach today" then I mushed my my lips with hers and started making out with her. just then Avery walks out. perfect timing. I pull Ashley closer to me and her fingers move to my hair. I hear Avery walk up to us.

"can we help you?" I ask with a smirk plastered on my face.

"yes" she says. "could you please move I'm trying to get to my boyfriend she says and runs to Ashton who picks her up and kisses her on the lips.

"you ready to go?" Ashton asks her.

"yup" Avery says popping the P.

"let's go then" Ashton says still holding her. she starts to blush and buries her face into the crook of his neck.

"you still on for the beach?" Ashley asks.

"yeah go get ready I'll meet you downstairs.

Avery's POV

"That was great!" I happily said to Ashton after we walked out. we were currently driving to the beach. it was perfect weather today and I was do happy. everything's just going perfectly today.

"I know. Did you see the look on his face?" Ashton says and bursts into laughter.

We finally arrived at the beach and it looks so beautiful today. I jumped in excitement and hugged Ashton.

"this is going to be amazing" I said as we stepped on the sand.

"agreed" I hear a familiar voice say. Is that? No. It couldn't be. I turn around.

Harry.
