ashton's phone dings as i stroke his hair, he looks at the text and smiles "luke finally texted me" he said "he works at a place that rents films and he said he could save the ones you like."

i smile widely and i kiss ashton softly. "you are so nice."

"it's good to hear someone saying that. my friends always make fun of me and say i'm rude" ashton shrugs and i laugh. "now you are laughing at me. i feel offended, alexa."

"aw, you are cute" i smile.

"i'm not"

"yes you are"

"i'm n--"

"what the actual fuck?" i turn my head and see michael and calum looking at us, the tanned boy has his mouth wide opened, and the other one's frowning. "what the fuck are you doing?"

ashton growls, he stands up and rolls his eyes, helping me to do the same "what are you guys doing here?"

"we were going to ask you if you wanted to hang out with us" calum says, and then he turns his gaze to me "but we see you already have plans."

"she can come with us, if you still want to hang out" ash says and i can only smile.

"don't worry about me" i say as i shrug and i smile at ashton "i think you need a break from me."

"never" ashton mumbles, grabbing my waist.

"oh my god, you look like a couple" michael groans "you can come if you want to, alexa."

"i..." i sigh, i don't know what to say because the last time i spent time with a group of strangers was years ago. i close my eyes and nod for myself, making it unnoticeable for the others "i'd love to, thank you."

"great. we're going to yours, cal" michael says, "luke is finishing his shift, he'll come after it with a film."

"the film boy" i mumble.

ashton smiles and nods "that's luke."

-

"knock knock!" someone yelled from the front door.

"just come in, idiot!" michael answers, also yelling.

"who's there" calum shouts with a smile.

"little mix"

"little mix who?" ashton rolls his eyes.

"oh! my gosh! i did it again" a blond boy walks in the room singing and when he sees me, his eyes widen and his mouth falls opened. "oh my god i feel so embarrassed right now."

"hello film boy" i send him an sly smile and as i see him going crazy about it, i laugh and hug ashton.

"if you don't close your mouth you'll start dribbling" ash warns and the blond guy frowns "ugh, okay. this is alexa, this girl i told you... and alex, this is luke, as you said, the film boy. what did you get us?"

"kill bill."

"oh hell yeah."

-

i laugh a bit and i start feeling ashton's hand stroking my arm. "you like it?" he whispered in my ear.

"yeah, kill bill is awesome. i already like that luke boy. just for this."

"well, i hope you like me more" he says, his lips in my cheek.

"i like you way more" i giggle.

"stop doing that shit" michael growls "it's making me feel lonely."

calum hugs him and i chuckle as michael tries to moves away "don't fight it mikey, just accept my love."

"get out of life" michael growls.

"your friends are so funny" i smile "i like them, you are lucky."

"i know" ash hugs me tight "i'm also lucky because of you."

"now i feel fifth-wheeled" luke says and i laugh.

it's good to laugh around people after all this time. i can't stop myself before thinking how lucky i am for finding ashton. he is like a bless.
