Hemmings~

I loved Ashton's smile.

I was walking through the central outlets with Ashton, helping him find a birthday present for his mom.

It was about mid-November in California and it was starting to get colder, I tugged my beanie further down on my head, my nose flushed from the cold although, Ashton was so focused on his shopping he didn't seem effected by the cold. I thought it was cute.

"These ones are pretty, yes?" Ashton held up a pair of red bottom heels for me to see. I chuckled because I loved hearing him speak. The sound alone made my heart rate rise to a mile a minute but, I didn't mind.

"They are, do you know her size?"
He nodded and found a box that had 6.5 labeled on it, I smiled and nodded. "Then let's go."
-------
After purchasing Ashton's mom's present, we decided to walk around the outlet we were shopping in to kill spare time. Being as its November and no store actually put out Thanksgiving decorations, the outlet was decorated with scary things to celebrate Halloween instead. There were orange hanging lights, fake cob webs, some stores even put out moving decorations modeled like skeletons and Jack the Ripper which, I noticed Ashton didn't seem to like too much. I chuckled as he jumped slightly at a moving decoration and moved to hold his hand hand.

"Ash, they're fake, you don't have to be scared." I smiled down at the blushing boy.

"I- I know, still, they are scary." He huffed a little and I bent down to his height to kiss his blushing cheek.

"It's ok, I'll keep you safe."

The smile that lit up his face after had me almost as awestruck as I was the first day he stepped into my creative writing lecture. The way his dimples created craters in his cheeks and his eyes gleamed almost exactly identical to stars made me want to fly all the way to the moon and back if it would keep him smiling.

I loved Ashton's smile.
