Behind Closed Doors (Ashton Irwin Fanfic)

Chapter 9: Pool Party

Briana's POV 

I woke up in my bed. Again someone must of carried me. It was Calum again.. Wait, maybe it was Ashton. Ashton.. Yeah maybe it was Ashton. No no no. Why am I thinking like this? I get this fluttery feeling when I think of Ashton.. Ashton.. Stop!

I checked my phone for the time. 11:37 AM. I rolled out of bed and rubbed my eyes. Once I was "fully" awake, I started to walk downstairs.

My room was on the 3rd floor just like the 3rd and 4th guest rooms plus the attic door. The second floor where was where Michael's room is, my mom's room and the 1st and 2nd guest rooms. The 1st floor was where the 'regular' rooms were. Such as, the living room, dining room, kitchen, movie room, and the door to the backyard. 

I walked the two flights of stairs and finally reached the living room. I walked into the kitchen and heard some footsteps. "Hello?" I said. 

"Briana?" I saw Ashton's head poke out from the hallway connecting the living room with the kitchen. "Ashton don't scare me like that." I said. He laughed and I laughed also because his laugh was so cute and contagious. He was wearing a beanie that pushed his hair back and he was wearing loose shorts and a baggy t shirt. "I'm guessing you were exercising?" I asked. He was all sweaty and gross, but still cute. He nodded. "Yeah I was gonna go in the pool for a bit. Wanna come?" I nodded and said, "Let me go change." 

He smiled as I went upstairs to change. I changed into my blue and white stripe bikini. Since I'm a little insecure of my body, I don't really care cause it's just me and Ashton in my house. 

Once I was ready, I went outside to go in the pool. I sat on the chair and just soaked up the sun. Ashton was taking laps in the water so I didn't want to bother him. So I just tanned. I took a mini nap but still was half awake. All of a sudden I felt muscular arms go under my back and under my thighs. I opened my eyes and saw Ashton picking me up. "Ashton what are you doing?!" I yelled. "Gonna go swimming" He smiled. Once he finished his sentence he jumped into the pool with me in his arms. I swam to the surface and looked around for Ashton. "Boo!" I screamed and turned around and saw Ashton laughing. "Stop that wasn't funny." I shoved him a bit but it didn't really do anything. I swam to the shallow end as Ashton followed me. "It wasn't funny Ashton.." 

"Yes it was." He replied. I scoffed and pulled myself up to sit on the ledge. "Fine it was a little funny." I said chuckling. He smiled as he pulled himself up as I did. I looked down at the water while Ashton was staring at me. "Quit staring at me, Ashton." 

"Why do you call me Ashton? While everyone else just calls me Ash." He asked. 

"I don't know I just like that name. It's a thing of mine.. I call people by their full name. Like Michael.. And Luke. I call him Lucas sometimes." I started laughing. "And Calum.. But that's not really a difference.. And my friend Dacey. You'll love Dacey, she's really funny and one time she started laughing and she-" I got cut off by Ashton's lips. His lips touched mine and then pulled away. "I'm so sorry." He said. I just sat there. "Briana I'm so, so, so sorry. I didn't mean to do that.. I don't know what came over me."

"You say sorry a lot.." I said. He looked at me in shock and started laughing. I laughed with him and smiled. "So you're not mad?" I shook my head no. "Good." He replied. I stood up and walked quickly to my chair which was on the other side of our pool. "Bri wait." Ashton called after me. I got my towel and started to walk to the door. "What Ashton?" I turned on my heel to face him. 

"You seem mad. Is it about the kiss?" He asked. 

"No.. It's just.." I rubbed my arm awkwardly trying to avoid eye contact with him. 

"What is it?" He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. My back was against the house and his muscular arm was blocking my exit into the house. 

"It's nothing really Ashton." I said. 

"Tell me or I'll tickle you." He said. 

"No.." I smirked. He smirked back and tickled me. I started laughing and screamed "Fine! Fine! I'll. Tell. You!!" 

"Good. Now spill." 

"I'm embarrassed.."

"Of what?"

"Of how I kissed you." 

"Bri, don't worry. It wasn't like your first kiss.. Cause that would of been embarrassing." Ashton said. 

I looked down and sighed.

"Oh Bri. I'm sorry I didn't know it was."

"It's fine.. I mean, it's nothing special right?" 

"No! Not right! It's the most special thing! And you deserve better! At least when you're expecting it.." 

I laughed and smiled. "So? How is this gonna work?" 

"I guess we just lean in and.."

I leaned in and was about to kiss him but we crashed our noses together. We both said ow and laughed. "Tilt your head to the right and close your eyes." 

I did what I was told and then felt soft lips on mine. The kiss was amazing. Ashton wasn't a pretty bad kisser. I pulled away and smiled up at him. 

"WHAT THE HELL?!"
