"i'm sorry mady but i have to go" i mumble, looking at her face in my computer screen.

she pouts "why?"

"i have something to do" i try not to sound as if it's obvious, but for her disgust facial expression, i guess i have failed. "uh okay, i am having a reconciliation date tonight and i need to get ready."

"when is he picking you?" she asks, looking rather interested.

"he is not picking me, i'm going by myself" i say and she frowns "don't frown, mads. not everything is like in your cheesy shows, you know? i can go by myself."

"well yeah but boys are usually nice enough for giving you a ride" my friend snaps. I raise an eyebrow.

"we are going to his apartment."

"well, that is just one more reason for him to actually drive you there."

"i have already gone there."

she frowns, and then she tries to look indifferent but she fails, "how long have you known eachother and why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?"

"i have known him for almost a month, and i didn't tell you because he is not my boyfriend, mady" i answer.

she starts to ramble about how boys don't need to actually ask girls to be their girlfriend, but they are still in a relationship, and all i can do is hang up. i will apologize later.

when i am ready to go, i turn all the lights off, including the tree's, and i smile softly at the memory of the first time i saw ashton at the store.

-

as ash opens the door, i smile.

"you look good" i say jokingly. he is in black sweatpants and a white t-shirt with a red smear near the neck. it's probably ketchup and i can't stop a laugh.

"oh shit" he frowns and looks at the clock in his wrist "i'm so sorry alex, i-uh i fell asleep and i lost track of the time."

i laugh again "it's okay, ash."

he opens the door fully and he lets me in "wait in the living room, i'll get change, okay?"

i nod as i take a sit in a couch that seems comfortable "i'll wait for you" i sing and he leaves the room quickly.

after five minutes, ashton is next to me "as i am a complete mess today, i didn't cook anything," he says "maybe we could go out?"

"or we could cook something together" i smile softly.

he nodds and we both walk into the kitchen. we make dinner laughing and making bad jokes. when we are finish, my t-shirt is full of vinegar. "look at my tee" i pouted "you're the devil, it's my favorite."

"so you wore your favorite tee to visit me, aye?" he gives me a sly smile and then he laughs "come, you can borrow one of mine."

i roll my eyes and follow him to his room.

i am so angry omg. so, this guy is stalking ashton and creating rumors and he gets angry when ash is mean to him? well, boy, let me tell you that if i was ash i would have punched you in the face. idiot.
