"okay, thanks luke" ashton smiles and i raise an eyebrow, silently asking him what happens. he hangs up the phone and looks at me but he says nothing until i playfully punch him in the arm. "luke says we should go to rent the films."

"when can we go?" i ask, smiling widely "please tell me we can go right now, please, please."

he gets up "let's go, then."

i chuckle and i also get up "oh my god, i like you so much" he smiles and in that moment i realize he doesn't really know i'm dead serious. as he started walking towards the door, i grab his hand, making him stop "really. i like you so much, ashton. you always do whatever you can to make me happy, and i know you do it on purpose. you have helped me a lot. more than you even imagine and it's like every day you just do something to make me like you more."

he says nothing and i feel the anxiety growing inside my chest. what if it's too early to say things like these? we didn't know each other that well, just for fifteen days, but it seems like an eternity.

"i'm sorry" i sigh "i shouldn't have said something like that. you don't have to answer."

"no" he shakes his head "you have no idea about how i feel right now because i feel the same. everything you do makes me like you even more, if that's possible. it's just that i'm amazed because i thought you wouldn't feel the same way and--"

"how couldn't i feel that way?" i awkwardly laugh. "you, idiot, are stuck in my mind and it seems like i can't get you out of there."

ashton's arms are wrapped around my body in matter of seconds, and then i feel his lips crashing into mines. "god i love when you say you like me."

"oh well, i love it too" i laugh "but i'm just saying facts, ash, i'm being real with this."

"we are so not going to luke's now" ashton blurts out, and then he kisses me, more passionately than the other times.

and i kiss him back, knowing that we aren't going to luke's place for renting films today.
