What have I missed?

Chapter 30:The dress, the dinner, the date, the dancing

Sam's POV-

Ashleigh. The person controlling my mind. I can't think about anything else. That kiss was...perfect. Louis is an idiot, he had the chance to have Ashleigh and ruined that by kissing some girl that doesn't even compare to Ashleigh. 

I was on my way to Ally's home. I need to talk to her. 

"Oh, Hi Sam!" Ally answered the door with surprise. 

"Hi, are you busy, I need to ask you something?" 

"No, not at all, go ahead!" She said extremely quickly and then realised what she had done and blushed.

"Well, it's about Ashleigh..." Ally's smile faltered and she breathed out a sigh.

"I want to perform a romantic gesture for her, but i'm rubbish at this kind of thing, do you have ideas?" 

"Yeah, come in, we can plan some ideas" She lead me into her house and I admired the beauty of it.

Me and Ally spent hours discussing what sort of romantic gestures she'd like to receive, it was so fun, I felt so relaxed around her. I began to feel some emotion toward her...I think i'm in love with her. I know you can't just develop those sort of feelings as soon as I just had, but I think I have always felt that way, but never really noticed. I was too busy distracted by Ashleigh to notice her best friend who is perfect for me. I think i'm wasting my time with Ashleigh, now for a new objective. Win the heart of Ally.

Louis' POV-

I overheard Sam and Ally together in the kitchen as I was on my way out to walk my dog Billy. I stopped to listen a bit and overheard them discussing a romantic gesture...for Ashleigh! I had to put my plan into action, before Sam beat me to it! It had to happen Saturday! 

Ashleigh's POV-

I was watching Titanic for the thousandth time, I was at the part where Jack Dawson took Rose dancing in the part of the ship where the non-rich passengers socialised. I loved this part, they had fun together, the kind of fun me and Louis had, emphasis on had. 

"I'm gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket, I- I- I'm hunting, looking for a come-up, this is-"

My phone started playing thrift shop. Coincidentally, Louis was calling me. Weird how I was just thinking about him... 

"Hello" I answered with no emotion. I was still mad at him for kissing that girl.

"Hey Ash, you busy?" 

"Yes as a matter of fact I am" I replied, still emotionless.

"Oh, well can I quickly ask you something?" He sounded disappointed with my answer.

"I don't know can you?" I hated how rude I sounded, but he deserved it. 

"I'd like you to accompany me on a date, i'll pick you up Saturday at 8pm, i'm not taking no for an answer." I considered the thought and realised he sounded like he actually wouldn't take no for an answer so I might as well give in. I suppose it was his chance to make it up to me.

"That sounds acceptable, i'll see you Saturday at 8pm" Then I hung up. I didn't want him to know I was actually quite excited so I needed to get off the phone, it was easy for him to sense my emotions.

I carried on watching Titanic, crying occasionaly, at parts such as when Jack is tied up on the ship and Rose is searching for him, and again when Jack goes under the water. It was one of my favourite films, but also one of the saddest, the thing that really made me tearful, was the fact that it was based on a true story.
