With or Without You//Ashton Irwin A.U.

Chapter 4

I woke up in Ashton's arms with him playing with my hair. God, how long has he been doing this it feels so good!

"Hey, Sleeping Beauty," Ash mumbled softly, "you wanna go to the Waffle House?"

"Yeah, lemme get dressed." I smiled politely and chuckled at my grogginess.

I went upstairs and changed into my leggings, an oversized sweatshirt, and my vans, I didn't even attempt to put on makeup because of how not awake I was. I went back downstairs and Ash was in his boxers looking for something  in his pant pockets.

"Umm, a little warning before you stripped would've been nice." I giggled

"Haha, very funny, help me look for my keys."

"Ash, you sat 'em on the table last night."

"Oh yeah!"

"Now can you please put on some clothes or something, like, you look good it's ju-"

"I know I know" He smirked

"Okay so like, I'm really really hungry. And I am not afraid to eat you first." We both whole-heartedly laughed.

We got to the Waffle House and that place was packed, I mean line out the door packed. So much for Waffle Houses on Saturdays.

"I think I know somewhere else we could go?" Ash said to me as I leaned my head back on the headrest

"Take me anywhere," I dramatically pleaded "I'm starving"

"You're not starving, Babe."

"Ash-"

"Yes, I just called you babe, deal with it." He smiled and hit my shoulder playfully.

There I go with the dry mouth again

Sadly, everywhere was packed so we settled on drive-thru and pulled over to eat.

"Let's go somewhere today." Ashton smiled

"Where?"

"We're literally two miles from Pennsylvania."

"Let's go."

Soon we were driving down the road heading towards Pennsylvania. Ashton turned up the radio and our hands intertwined with each other.

"Can I have the aux chord? These stations suck."

Ashton leaned his head back in laughter.

"You clearly know nothing about classic rock."

"I know plenty, I just don't care for it."

"You're lucky I love you, I'm usually the only one who touches the aux chord."

"Ash, be quiet, I'm trying to play you my mixtape, it's fire."

"Okay okay"

Ashton willingly gave up the chord and soon we were jamming to "Say It Ain't So by Weezer"

*headbang headbang* SAY IT AINT SOOOOO!!!! MY LOVE IS A LIFE TAKER!!!

After about an hour we're in Pennsylvania at a weird looking garden place. What is this?

"This is the Botanical Garden I would always come to when I was little and lived here."

"It's...wow...Ashton, it's beautiful."

"Not as a beautiful as my beautiful girlfriend."

He loved calling me sweet names. It wasn't anything I minded, I kind of liked it too. I was just still getting over Grayson.

We walked through this magnificent indoor/outdoor garden and I couldn't help but think of how perfect Ashton is to me. We were in the butterfly room when he hugged me from behind and whispered in my ear that he loved me and turned me around to kiss me.

I'm smitten. I love him too.

"I love you," Ashton whispered,"I love you."

"I love you too, Ashton." I said smiling up at him because of the height difference. And he pulled me close and for the first time since me and Grayson broke up, everything felt right.
