~Clementine's POV~

It's Monday morning. We have no school today or Tuesday due to the snow, so Nicole, her dad and I went out to buy a new smoke detector.

"So. I need to talk to you girls about the courthouse. You need to be on your best behavior." He says.

"We know dad." Nicole groans.

"I'm serious. We don't want to do anything that could risk us losing Clementine." He says.

"Trust me. I won't let that happen." Nicole says.

In the Afternoon Nicole and I decide to go shopping. We go to buy clothes for the courthouse.

I find this really cute yet sophisticated outfit. It's nude/pink color shirt with a white blazer on it. It comes with black jeans too.

"Nicole would you say this is sophisticated?" I ask her.

"Yeah." She says.

"Okay, I'm taking it." I grab it and head to the cash register.

I pay and look for shoes while waiting for Nicole.

I find a pair of nude/pink color high heels. Not so high but high. I buy them and decide to look at jewelry.

I find a beautiful pair a white earrings. When someone taps me.

"Hey beautiful." The voice sounds deep.

"Um let me guess it's rather Tristan," I say with happiness in my voice.

"Or its Ashton." I continue with disappointment in my voice.

"Well, you go one of them right." The voice remarks

I turn and feel a pair of soft warm lips touch mine. Then the kiss ends.

"Hey." Says Ashton.

"Oh, hey." I respond. Disappointed.

"I know you were expecting dream boat. But I wanted to say I'm sorry by doing this." He pulls out a box and opens it.

There's a ring inside it.

"Woah, uh Ashton?" My face filled with shock.

"Oh, no, no. I'm not proposing. But this a sorry ring. To say I'm sorry." He smiles.

"Ashton I can't take th-"

"Yes. You will." He slides it onto my finger.

"Now, I don't want a 'thank you'. But it's just to show that I am truly sorry." He starts to walk away.

"Hey Ashton!" I call out.

He turns around and walks back to me.

"This is showing my graditude." I note.

I grab his shirt and pulls him close until we kiss.

"I thought you didn't like it forceful." He chuckles.

"Sometimes I do." I laugh.

"Okay. Then that means I can do this." He pins me against the wall. He holds my hips.

"Ashton not here." I mumble.

"Aww why not?" He huffs.

"Because we are in public." I laugh.

"Fine. But that's not an excuse." He growls.

He kisses me while I'm still pinned against the wall.

I kiss back and wrap my arms around him.

We stop when I notice Nicole is watching us.

"Ahem."

"Oh. Gosh. Um, hey Nicole." I blush.

"Okay. Well if you're finished with him. I'm done, so we can go." She scowls at Ashton.

"Okay. Let's go. Thanks for the ring Ashton." I utter walking past him with a smile.

We're walking to a different store.

"Please don't tell me you just had a makeout session in the store with him." She smirks.

"Of course not. Okay maybe. But we were in the back." I comment.

She laughs and we continue our shopping spree.

-Thursday

The investigator came to look at the house. Nicole and I had been at school.

Nicole and I walk through the door.

"I think my eardrum just busted."

"Girls!!! We were approved!!" Nicole's dad yells.

"Really that's great!" I smile.

"Now all we have to do is just see how court goes!" Nicole's mom squeals.

"This is amazing!" Nicole hugs me.

Short. But I'm expecting the courthouse one to be long. So be ready for that. Comment and vote bye!
