Imagination

Starbucks and Ash

You sat in the corner table tapping your fingers to Diana by One Direction and resting your head on the other hand. Funny that you work here but today's your day off and had nothing else to do. Sometimes you wish he would just appear out of nowhere and walk through that door looking at you then pick you up bridal style and carry you away. But you knew that its highly certain not to happen.

Sitting at the table with only an employee sweeping and your Latte along with a napkin. You sigh letting life take you away and close your eyes then lean back in your chair folding your arms. You occasionally take a sip of your latte and afterward put in your earphones and listen to his band.

After a while of sitting there relaxing you sit up and begin tapping the beat to Permanent Vacation with your pen. By halfway through the song someone walks through the door and orders. You shrug it off thinking they'll just walk out but after he orders you notice him walking towards you. Apparently your music must be loud because he was drumming his cup with his straw to the song and head banging with a smile. You look up to see who he was and it was him. The one you only dreamed of meeting face to face. The one you never thought would be where you lived. He was the one.

"Hi, I'm Ashton!" He grinned while waving as he sat down across from you. You seem to be staring at him for quite some time then stutter, "H-hi, u-um I...i-im Y/N"

He giggles, "You're shy, why is a pretty girl like you here alone by yourself?"

You pause your music and set your phone down then look at him, more like his eyes, his smile, his dimples and you manage a shy smile. "Well, I uh work here but um its my day off and..." Your blushing cuts you off and he smiles again.

"You had nothing better to do?" He asks, reading your mind somehow. You nod and he laughs which causes you to tuck a hair behind your ear with a smile. "I see you like 5 Seconds of Summer. Their pretty great, just with music" he adds with a chuckle at the end.

"Yeah, I love them. I think they're great either way. If I could I'd be a really close friend or like a little sister to them if that was possible. They may act dumb and stupid but so do I. And they may say they suck but I disagree." You respond.

"Well that's sweet, I bet they'd love you. So do you have a favorite? I know its a question probably most ask but I'm just wondering..." He smiles scratching the back if his head. You think for a few seconds pondering whether or not you want to tell him that he's your favorite. Especially since you're trying not to fangirl right then and there in front of him. So you then smile and decide to show him the tattoo of his name on a pair of drumsticks on your collarbone.

"Well um I think its easier if I show you" you laugh. His eyebrows furrow then you move the sleeve of your Blink 182 tee down your shoulder so the tattoo is visible. Once he sees the tattoo his eyes widen into a smile.

"Wow, so. . . I'm your favorite?" He asks still fascinated by the tattoo. You nod shyly smiling, "Y-yeah, drummers are kinda my thing. And you seem to catch my eye the most."

He smiles with those familiar dimples you were used to seeing through just a screen, "That's so cool! I love the tattoo by the way. And you seem like a really interesting person. I'd actually like if we could hang out some time. Maybe meet back here? If you're okay with that.."

You pull your shirt back up and grin, "I'd love that. That'd be great." With that you take your pen and write your number on his cup with "Y/N <3". He takes your pen and does the same to yours with "Ash Smash :)"

Before you two leave you give each other a huge hug and take a few selfies on each other's phone. And after the final selfie Ashton pecks your cheek and heads out leaving you in butterflies and rosy cheeks.
