Hidden ~ A joe sugg fanfiction

Chapter 13

Joes p.0.v
I finished the sandwich that Ashley had bought me and took a sip of water. Fiji water that is. Of course she remembered.

Ashley, Niomi, Zoe, Troye, Dan and Phil, Louise and Tanya were all engrossed in their conversation on the other half of the table, while all the lads started a conversation on our side.

We talked about staying at Ashley and Troyes house and then the topic shifted towards who everyone liked at the mention of Ashleys name.

"Joe just admit it to us. Come on we're your best mates. Do you like Ashley?"

I need to tell someone how I felt and I couldn't keep bottling up my feelings. So I told all of them.

"Yes. Yes I like her. I really like her" I whispered.
"I knew it" "aw Joe she's totally into you" "are you gonna ask her out?"
Many comments and questions came my way.

"I don't know guys ok." I sighed.
"You see that bracelet she's wearing?" I whispered barely audible, motioning towards the silver bracelet on her wrist.
"Yeah..." Josh trailed off. "It's from her ex boyfriend Cameron " josh stated.
"How did you know that?" I asked baffled.
"Me and Ashley have been friends a long time" he laughed.
"I guess so" I laughed quietly, slightly jealous that he knew her longer than me.

"What if he still likes her? What if she still likes him?" I whispered slightly more harshly now.

"Joe they're just friends. I promise you. They broke up because they didn't have feelings for each other anymore. She dosent like him...she likes you" he whispered pointing at me.

"Look wait a while, get to know her even better than you do now, and if you can't control your feelings... Then you have to go for it." Marcus said seriously and everyone began getting up. Jim grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the chair handing me my backpack. He smiled and waited for me to collect my stuff. As our flight was called, we made our way to the gate, bumping into a few fans along the way and taking pictures with them. I took out my ticket and passport.

I was sitting in seat 34a. I heard Ashley behind me and my heart fluttered at the sound of her angelic voice.
"I'm sitting in seat 34b"
She was sitting next to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We boarded the plane and everyone departed to take their seats. I put my remaining bags in the overhead bag area and pulled out my headphones, MacBook and vlogging camera before tucking my backpack away also. Of course my phone was in my pocket.

Olis seat was in 34c, so he put his bags away and slid past me towards his window seat.
"How's it going buddy" he said in his usual enthusiastic tone.
"Not bad, not bad cactus boy"
I turned on my vlogging camera.

"Oi don't start that again." He warned.
I raised my arms in mock surrender and took a drink of water. I offered him some and he took a quick sip and said thank you.

"So Ashley eh?" He nudged me jokingly.
I rolled my eyes trying to control a smile.
He laughed and abruptly stopped when he noticed Ashley coming, not wanting to embarrass me.

"Oi oi lads" she said. I loved her jokey personality.
"Oi oi" Oli replied, as Ashley reached up to put her bags away. Her jumper lifted up slightly revealing her stomach. I felt myself blush and couldn't control the smile that came over me as I observed her amazing figure.

Oli took his phone out and I heard the click of the camera as he took pictures of a flustered me gazing on at Ashley.

"Hey stop" I warned. He smirked and waved his phone around signalling that he could now use the photos to blackmail me. I smiled shaking my head.
Ashley struggled to close the little door on the overhead compartment and as she reached up she lost her balance due to someone rushing past her. She fell forward, one of her hands on my thigh and the other on my shoulder. Our faces were centimetres apart.

My hands rested on her bare hips and a strand of her hair fell on to my face. I tucked it behind her ear and I noticed how wonderfully blue her eyes were. Heat rushed to my cheeks as she stood up straightening herself out.

"Sorry" she stuttered.
"Well" oli laughed quietly before I shot him a glare. She held her phone in her hands as she climbed over me to reach her seat that was in between me and Oli.

She sat down crossing one leg over the other and readjusted her luscious brown hair.
I watched as she quickly typed out a text to someone called Jenn. I assumed it was "jennxpenn" as they were best friends and always appeared in each others videos.
She then typed another text to Andrew and jack. Suddenly the ring signalling to turn off your phones rung and she jumped making me laugh. She slowly turned to me, a smirk plastered on her face.

"I'm gonna prank you so hard this trip Ash"
"No you won't" she said smugly leaving me wondering what she was planning.
She tucked her grey iphone away and slid down her chair trying to get more comfortable.

Suddenly the plane rushed forward causing her to grab my hand. She closed her eyes shut not letting go. I held it tightly and rubbed her palm softly to calm her down.

Soon we were 3 hours away until landing and Ashley was fast asleep with her head on my shoulder as I edited my latest video. It was a video with Oli.

Oli had a bag of crisps in hand and MacBook in his lap. Earphones screwed in. He was watching some horror movie.

My arm was beginning to go dead but I didn't mind. With Ashley this close to me, I didn't mind at all.
