Mystery Dates Part 25 (A.I)

YOU

I leaned against the brick wall back outside whilst Ashton paced back and forth in front of me.  He rubbed his chin in thought as the words spiralled around his mind.

"I want to apologise first and foremost for walking away from our date," he began solemnly.

I was still hurt by the fact my mystery date had left but it hurt even more knowing it was him.  All I wanted to know was; why?

"Secondly I want to -"

"Why?" I asked cutting him off.

"I'm sorry?" he queried, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Why did you walk away?"

He sighed running a hand through his hair.

"It's complicated."

"Why?" I asked again through tight lips.

"Because I knew something was up," he explained.  "I didn't know it was a date till later that night. Liam had just told me we were all going round to your apartment and when I arrived I noticed no ones cars were there. So I called Liam and he said they were all running late. I went up, knocked and then got scared and ran."

He didn't know.  He didn't know what was happening.

"I saw Liam later that night. He came round and explained the whole thing. I felt awful for what had happened. You'd been waiting for a blind date and he'd just left. I'm so sorry you went through that," he apologised.

"It's okay," I whispered. "You didn't know."

"I didn't," he admitted.

"But when I came in and saw you with Ken, I couldn't stop the anger and jealously from raging inside my body. I hated seeing you with him, with anyone. I hated thinking I could have been your date, I could have been by your side, not him," he grumbled.

"He wasn't my date," I told him again.

"I know that now babe," he said softly.  "I know."

He stepped closer to me and cupped my cheeks in his palms.  His thumbs softly grazed the skin under my eyes, wiping away at the discarded tears.

"I love you Y/N," he proclaimed.

His hazel eyes stared deep into mine and his long lashes fluttered.  He smiled, his deep dimples on full show and his eyes crinkled.

"I love you," he said again.

I held my breath, feeling every single fibre in my body coming alive.  I held onto his arms, extended out towards me.  My legs were like jelly, and my heart was fluttering like a butterfly, I was afraid it would fly away.

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I'm so sorry I made you unhappy as I waited too long to tell you. I know you feel the same and I knew I've caused both of our unhappiness by dragging it out and not confessing every single feeling I have for you," he whispered, choking back the tears.

"Ashton," I cried.

"No, don't feel sympathy for me or pity. I don't want that Y/N. All I want is you, all of you, for every single day, every second, every minute, every hour. I want your love, your heart and your promises. I want you for the rest of my life," he exclaimed.

"I just want us," he sobbed, pressing his forehead against mine.

"Ashton," I whimpered.  "I love you so much!"

He sniffled and smiled, then pressed his wet lips to my forehead.  His lips lingered and he inhaled deeply.

"Thank you," he whispered.  "Thank you for loving me. Thank you for letting me love you. Thank you for taking care of my heart because it's yours baby, and it has been for the past 3 years!"

"You've had mine too," I told him.

He pressed his lips firmly against mine, and they moved in sync.  His hands stayed on my cheeks but his fingers tangled in my hair.  He groaned against my parted lips and I tasted him.  He was delicious and warm! I inhaled deeply getting lost in his scent.

My body swayed and he caught me, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist.  One of his hands moved to plant flat against the bricks behind my head and he pinned me in.  He groaned again as his tongue caressed mine.

I could feel my body losing all it's senses, becoming lost in the moment.  I was spinning, dizzy and numb from his touch.  But the fire that ignited within licked at my skin and allowed me to feel everything that was happening full force!

"Er guys," a voice chuckled nervously.

I jumped and pushed Ashton back to see Luke watching us with amused eyes.

"Did you find them Lu..."

Michael trailed off and he smirked at us.

"Everyone's getting ready to watch them cut the cake and you guys are out here groping each other," he teased.

I blushed and ducked my head, hiding behind my fallen hair.  Ashton stepped towards me and pulled me into his chest.

"Fuck off Michael!" he growled.

Michael laughed and winked before walking off with Luke trailing behind him.

"We should get back inside," I told him.

He agreed and took my hand, leading me back inside.  When we reached the doors I dropped his hand.  He looked at me with a hurt look and a disappointed frown.  I touched his pouted lips gently.

"I just want to leave this," I waved between us.  "Whatever this is, in the dark for today okay. It's just that it's my sisters wedding and I don't want the attention to be diverted from her big day."

"It's okay love, I understand," he smiled.

He turned to walk through the doors looked over his shoulder as he said, "Oh and by the way, you're mine now. My girl, my girlfriend alright. That's what this is."

And with that he winked then turned and walked away!
