Ashlyn's POV
_________________________________________________________
I'm finally back, closer to home than I'm willing to go. I remember taking day trips to go shopping with my mom, my dad would always stay home and work.
Michael pulls into a quaint restaurant,"Hungry?" he looks at me, his green eyes look stunning to me.
"Hell yes" I say and climb out of the car and stretch my legs. I had forgotten I changed into sweatpants and a sweatshirt in the car and I was caught of guard by my hobo appearance but no one would care.
Michael opens the door for me as we walk in the hostess looks us over with a disgusted expression.
"Right this way teens." She says to us, she sways her hips as she walked in an attempt to make her pony tail bounce.
We are seated and she throws a small cutesy flirty smile at Mikey and then glares at me, it's almost as if she's asking how did I get such a cute guy. What a bítch.
"So what are you getting?" I'm snapped out of my thoughts.
I glance at the menu and automatically decide on a smoothie and pancakes.
We order and start talking.
"So are we returning?"
"I don't want too" I say sipping my glass of water.
"Then where too?" His expression confused and lost.
"Anywhere we want" I laugh and swing my arms as a gesture.
He chuckles and smiles at me, I'd say he's got me trapped and it hasn't even been two days yet.
"You've got me trapped Clifford." I say looking right into his eye.
"I'd have to say you've got me trapped too Ash." He stares right back at me.
This would have been the perfect moment for a kiss if the bitch of a hostess hadn't interrupted us.
"Thank you." I mutter, upset I didn't get to kiss him. I sadly accepting my food.
"She's a bitch." Michael jabs his thumb in her direction. She was swaying her hips heavily trying to catch Michael's eyes but he was watching me intently with a smile spreading slowly across his face.
I turned my attention back to Michael,"I love you." I whisper only audible to me.
"What?" his features scrunching up in confusion. I dropped my eyes to my food, I slowly took a bite of my pancakes. Michael did the same thing but he was still watching me cautiously. We continue to eat in silence, neither one of us say a word, it wasn't exactly awkward but it wasn't super comfortable. We finished, payed and walked out.
"What did you say back in there?" his eyes confused and curious.
I dropped my gaze to my feet,"I love you." I said but it was still barely audible.
"Ashlyn you know you can trust me right?" he took my hand in his, and lifted my chin so that I could look at him.
"I said I love you." I say loud enough for him to hear.
"I love you too." he says as he re-situates his hand so that he can hold mine.
We get into the car, he places his hand on my thigh and we drive closer to the city.
