1.3

Once school let out, I decided to accompany Ashton on the walk to his house, asking if he'd like to come over to my house for a little bit until the party, which he agreed on. When I got there, I had to go through the back since everyone was gone, not sure why.

As I walked in I saw the note Lillian left saying since it was actually a pretty warm day, she agreed to take Wade to the park and that they'd be back later.

It was a lot warmer what it has been, but still a little chilly. December is about to hit, and then it'll go back to cold weathers. But I loved the cold, so I don't mind much.

Ashton and I headed upstairs to my room, where he was low key examining my bedroom, making me smile.
"Aren't you glad we have the whole week off for thanksgiving?"

He turned his attention back to me and smiled, nodding, "Very."

After two hours of just talking and going through my music, I decided to look for an outfit to wear to the party, but I had no idea on what to wear.

"I can help," Ashton smiled and I nodded, sitting crisscrossed on my bed, watching him look through my clothes, to pick out something.

"Jeans or dress?" He asked and I thought about it, but I don't want to dress up.

"Jeans."
"Black?"
"Black."

He chose my white loose crop top with a small heart over the heart, and a red faded flannel and I smiled nodding.
"Nice pick, Ashley."

He giggled and tossed me the clothes, as I stepped in the bathroom and changed before coming out to put on my white converse.

"Alright, your turn to change. Now I get to pick," I smiled and his cheeks turned red, and his adorable. Dimples popped out making me smile.

Once we got to his house, we went to his room and I carefully looked through his clothes, which he had so many of. Half of them he didn't wear to school, which I didn't understand. They were such nice clothes.

He was already wearing black skinny jeans, so I decided on a light grey plain tee shirt, and a black flannel and he wore his all black converse. Once he was changed I smiled and nodded my head.

"Nice," I smiled, "You looked kind of different."

His grin faded, "Bad different?"

I shook my head, "No, good different. You look good always, I just never seen you dress like this," I smiled as he blushed, "you should add a grey beanie. You have one?"

He nodded going and putting it on his head, leaving his swoop of curls out in the front. He looked really good. I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to hit on him. Once I told him that he seemed to get nervous. I wasn't sure why, he's so cute and sweet. But I knew he normally stuck to himself. Always has.

"Nona," he said as we walked through his living room, "i'm going out tonight and I was wondering if I could borrow your car?"

She smiled nodding and giving him the keys before we headed out. The car drive there was filled with me giving him directions. I could tell he was a little nervous, but he has me. So he'll be fine.

"Excited?" I asked smiling as we parked and he sighed.

"Something like that," and gave me a small grin.

I got out, shoving my curls away from my face and walking in with Ashton. It was already packed, I didn't want to lose Ashton, so I looped my fingers with his and walked through everyone until I found Anna who looked great.

"Hey look it's Cleo and Ashton!!" She said clearly already having a few drinks.

I chuckled as we walked over there and everyone greeted us, and a few guys even did a small hand gesture with Ashton. I smiled glad that guys were cool. They don't care who you are just as long as you're another guy.

"You came with Trevor?" I smirked as she sent me a wink and nodded her head as I have her a wink.

She passed me some type of fruity drink, but I could still smell the vodka from it, but decided to go ahead and chug it. Why not.

I glanced at Ashton who was smiling at me and made me chuckled. "Maybe you wanna try some?"

He shrugged, "i've never drunk before," he said and then proceeded to nod, so I got him a drink and watched it chug it, and I clapped for him making him laugh.

"Well!"

"Actually not that bad honestly," he smiled making his dimples sink in incredibly but they were so attractive.

"See, not so bad after all," I smiled as he gave me a small shove.

After awhile of hanging out I could tell Ashton was growing comfortable and I was glad. I liked seeing him this happy.

"Hey Cleo," someone said as I turned to see who, it was Michael and I smiled seeing that he bleached his hair, and he was wearing a plain black sweater. He looked hot.

"Hey Michael," I smiled and he turned to Ashton and smiled.

"Michael," he said and Ashton shook his hand.

"Ashton."

After chatting with us for a few moments Michael asked if he could talk privately with me, but I told Ashton I wouldn't leave him.

"Oh, i'm sorry, I-"

"No it's okay," Ashton cut me off smiling and nodding, "Go ahead, i'll wait here for you, no worries," he smiled.

"You sure?" I asked and he nodded. "Okay i'll only be gone a moment, right?" I asked Michael and Michael nodded as he started leading me down the hall and up the stairs.

"So you enjoying the party?" He asked and I smiled, nodding.

"Yeah, it's nice," I said as he gave me a sly smile. "So, why'd you want to talk in private?" I asked as we walked into what seem to be his bedroom.

"Because you're cool, and we haven't hung out before so I thought I'd take my chance before Prince Charming steals you," he smiled as I laughed and rolled my eyes.

He sat on his bed as I stood, talking to him, just for a minute or so, until he grabbed my hands pulling me between his legs.

"You're really hot, Cleo," he said making my cheeks hot and stomach swirl.
"I've been crushing on you for awhile now," he said as I stayed quiet not knowing what to do, until he pulled my left leg over his side, then my right till I was on top of his lap.

He then placed his fingers under my chin, leaning in to kiss me, and I didn't stop, not minding. He was a good kisser. Real good kisser. I was into it, but the thought of leaving Ashton was eating at me and I had to pull away.

"I'm sorry Michael, I can't," I said.

"Why not?"

"I came here with Ashton and I said I wouldn't leave him," I said and he sighed and nodded.

"Okay, find. You're right," he said and I thanked him for understanding before going back down the steps and back to the crowd to search for as.

As I spotted him, I saw that he looked uncomfortable but the I noticed there was a girl around him, and I knew he was definitely uncomfortable around people like that. I quickly made my way over to them and saw the girl was pressing her body up to his.

"Excuse me," I said and she looked at me with a disgusted look, "He clearly isn't comfortable with you throwing yourself on to him," I said calmly as she rolled her eyes.

"As if a prude like you would know what a guy wants," she said with a laugh.

"Yeah but i'm sure that I know what my boyfriend wants," I said, taking his hand in mine, and tugging him to my side. With that the girl said nothing further and strutted off. Ashton sighed and began to apologize and I shook my head.

"You did nothing wrong, why are you apologizing for?" I chuckled as he couldn't muster up words to say.
