Bad.

Ten.

I was sat at a table with my sister and her two bestfriends who run the store with her. My pen tapped impatiently as we all reviewed her designs. I finally spoke up to start this damn meeting.

"These cut off boots should come in dark red. We need to get some color samples." I suggested feeling like I didn't give a damn about those boots. Was it night time yet?

My sister could tell. She gave me a look. "You really don't want to be here do you?"

I huffed out a breath in frustration. "Its not that I don't want to be here. I just want it to be time to go see him." I complained.

The other girls looked at us in confusion. "Well, we'll hurry." Veronica smiled. "I like those in a dark red too. Mark it down. We've gotta make some color decisions on these coats too. I have a feeling..." Her voice trailed off as I looked at my phone for what felt like the millionth time. Still nothing. It might have only been 11 am but I still wanted to hear from him. I sat there wondering what tonight would be. What we'd say...

ASHTONS POV

I had a hard time focusing. What were we discussing again? I didn't know. All I kept thinking about was tonight. I wanted to know what she wanted to meet for. I was afraid she'd tell me to stop sending her things. Tell me to stop wanting her. Though, I knew that was impossible. Something about her had me. She was all I thought about. Her brown eyes, blonde hair, I remembered it so well. I saw her face in my mind so often.

"Earth to Ashton. Hey! We're kinda in the middle of something here." Calum broke me out of my thoughts.

"Hmmm?" I looked up. Luke and Michael laughed. Calum shook his head.

"What do you think?" He asked already knowing I hadn't been listening.

I nodded. "I agree."

They all burst into laughter and I smiled with them. "You have no idea what I was talking about do you?" Cal said smiling now.

"Not a clue." I was still smiling.

"What were you thinking about so hard?" He asked not even telling me what we were talking about.

I pursed my lips. "I've got some stuff to do tonight."

Michael rolled his eyes. "Didn't I tell you?" He smacked Lukes shoulder.

"Tell him what?" I ask eyeing them suspiciously.

Luke smiles and leans back in his chair. "You're going to see that chick Jaimie."

"Don't." Calum spoke up before I could respond. He noticed that I wasn't gonna listen right away. "I'm telling you... Don't get mixed up with someone who has somebody else. You homewrecker." They all laughed again.

"What do you know? She just wants to talk." I defended myself.

They laughed again. "Right. Talk." Michael shook his head in disbelief. "Is that what you did before? Talk?"

I rolled my eyes this time. "I didn't get far if thats what you're asking. It wasn't like that."

"Okay, what about Allison?" Luke asks leaning on the table.

"She dumped me last night." I shrugged. "She went through my phone, caught me."

Calum was shaking his head before I was done talking. "This is bad dude. This is not going to go well." He leaned over the table to make me take him seriously. "She's got you going dumb. Its not worth it. You know what she's done before."

With that comment I'd had enough. "Listen, you don't know her." I stood up and grabbed my coffee and phone. "You can handle this right? I'm leaving."
