Surprises

Chapter 18

For the next few weeks after prom, everyone still congratulated us. When we walked down the halls, holding hands, there were hoots and hollers coming from everyone. Once, a teacher even joined in on the madness. That made me laugh.

"I think you guys are more popular than me!" Erin laughed. "Haha maybe" Ash said.

We made out way to 6th period; physics with Ms. Cowie.

"Ok guys, were going to be learning how to..." Her voice trailed off. I looked at the clock then back at my desk. A note? from who? I opened the note: Megan, I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner then the movies tonight?" I knew that handwriting; Ashton. I smiled then replied: yes. We passed the note back and forth the entire class period. Next thing I knew, I'm going to dinner at 7 and then the movies with my amazing boyfriend. We walked to 7th period together holding hands. Perfect.

It's almost 7. I'm wearing my favorite jeans, a green v-neck shirt and my black converse. No make up and my hair in a high pony-tail. I heard a knock on the door. Ashton. I go to open the door and see my incredibly cute boyfriend holding a small bouquet of flowers. "You look amazing, Megan." he says as he kisses me. I rolled my eyes at his lament then laughed.

"How did I get so lucky to have you?" I asked smiling. "I really should ask myself that." he winked and I blushed. "So where are we going to dinner tonight?" "I was thinking Chili's because it's right next to the theater." "sounds perfect."

He opened the door for me, then closed it. He gets into the car then starts it. We pull out of my drive way then headed toward town. One of my favorite songs came on. "I was so stupid for letting you go but I-I-I know your still the one. You might have moved on but girl you should know that I-I-I know your still the one ..." He smiles the whole time I'm singing, then I stop. "Why'd you stop?" he asked confused. "Because I sound horrible" I replied laughing. "No you don't, I do" he said. "I highly doubt that you're worse than me." "Oh really?" "yeah" "ok you asked for it." he started to song in the most annoying and high pitched voice ever. I laughed, "ok, that was bad" "I told you" he winked then we pulled into the parking lot.

After dinner, we went to the movies and Ashton payed.

"2 for the 'Hunger Games' please" "that will be $6.75" the cashier said. "Ok here you go" "thank you theater 8 to your right. Enjoy the show" "thank you." I always loved how polite Ash was. "Do you want any snacks or a drink?" He asked me. "No I'm good" I said. "Ok, then are you ready to see the movie?" I nodded and we went into the theater.

I always hated the beginning credits. They were always boring. "Are you excited to see the movie?" I asked Ash, who was already staring at me. "What are you staring at?" I asked. "You" he simply replied. "Why?" I was confused. 'Did I have something in my teeth?' I thought to myself. "Do you know you're beautiful?" he asked smiling. "Why?" "because to are." he smirked and I blushed. He leaned into kiss me but it got interrupted by his friends.

"Ash! My man!" one of his friends said. "Hey man what's up?" Ashton said. "You know, just seeing what they say to be the best movie of the century!" his friend said, rather loud. "Yeah, and I heard Jennifer Lawrence is supposed to be in it" another one of his friends said. "Yeah she's sexy!" his friend remarked. The lights lowered and then they said "later man." Ash waved good bye then looked at me. "What's wrong?" "nothing, it's no big deal." I tried to shrug it off. "Babe, what is it?" he never stopped asking me until I told him. "Do you- no, it's stupid." "Megan," he grabbed my hand. "What is it?" "do you think Jennifer Lawrence is prettier than me?" I asked. "Are you kidding me?" I started getting red from embarrassment. "Megan, you are the most beautiful girl in the world. Why are you asking a silly question like that?" "I don't know, I just thought that everyone is prettier than me." I felt so stupid. "Well, you're wrong" he smiled then kissed my cheek. "You're the best" I said. "No, you are." he winked.

Finally, the movie started. Once we got half way through the movie, Ashton, being Ashtkn, pretended to yawn and our his arm around me. I giggled and nuzzled up to him.

After the movie, he drove me home. He walked me up to my door. "I had a great time tonight" I smiled. "Yeah, me too. We need to do this more often" he winked. He said good bye. I was a little said that he didn't kiss me. I was about to put my key in the front door then I heard my name. I turned around. "Ash wha-" I got cut off when his lips were being pressed against mine. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I ended up standing on my tippy-toes because he's so much taller than me. Once we pulled away, he said, "I forgot to do that." I giggled then said good bye again. He drove off and left me standing at my front door smiling. 'What a good night' I thought to myself, then walked inside.

"I'm home" I said and dropped my keys on the kitchen counter. I walked into the living room and plopped myself on the couch. "Hey guys" I said excited because of the kiss. "Hi." my mom sounded depressed. "What's wrong?" I started getting concerned. "You don't know?" my dad asked me.
