Summer Love- Harry Styles / Ashton Irwin

Chapter 26

"Ashton where were you?" Ariah questioned as soon as I set foot on the bus.

"Band practice. I told you."

"Band practice is tomorrow, not today..." She sighed and I mentally kicked myself.

"I went out. Big deal."

She doesn't need to know where or why..

"Then why did you lie?" She stood up from her original position on the sofa.

"Does it really matter if I told one lie? Im home now." I smiled sweetly and she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah. It matters to me. Where did you go Ashton?" She ran a hand through her hair and took a step back as I tried to reach for her hand.

"You don't need to know my every move Ariah." I retorted.

"Fine. Then you don't need to control who I speak to." She raised her voice before making her way to the door when I caught her arm in my grip.

"Get off me!" She yelled trying to pull away from my grip.

"Don't raise your voice at me. Youre forbidden from speaking to Harry and if you want to know about your past you'll do as I say." I told her and her eyes lowered to the ground.

I softened my grip on her arm and she pulled away harshly. "You're an asshole." She spat.

I pulled her in close to my chest and she gasped.

"What was that?" I stared her dead in the eye as she repeated her exact words.

"You're an asshole." She told me, bravery in her voice which is a new one for her.

Infact it kind of turned me on.

"God you're sexy." I growled, lifting her up onto me as I backed us onto the sofa, smashing my lips against hers.

Her granting my tongue entrance was the only sign I needed that she still wanted me.

Harrys P.O.V.

"You need to go. I have work tomorrow." I told the girl who was laying besides me.

"Everybody has to work tomorrow, not just rockstars." She smirked.

"I have to get up really early." I spoke again, saying anything to get her to leave.

"So you're telling me.." I felt her hand run down my abs under the duvet and down to the band of my underwear. "That you don't want round two?" The smirk on her face made her even more irresistible.

Before I knew it we were both fully naked once again and moaning in pleasure for the second time tonight, putting off the haunting memories which I would have to relive in just one week.

Ariahs P.O.V.

"I have to go." I told Ashton who was twirling a strand of my hair around his index finger.

"No, stay." He pouted.

"Only for a little while longer."  I told him, hoping to savour every moment of his rare loving self which doesn't make an appearance much lately.

"I love you, so much Ariah." He pressed his lips onto my forehead and I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of his body against mine.

This was the Ashton I knew and loved.

"I love you too." I sighed.

I wonder if Harry is still with that girl from earlier, if they're cuddling and enjoying the moment.. or if he's sleeping alone tonight with no one to keep him company.

Why am I thinking about Harry whilst laying on Ashtons chest?

Is that girl lead on Harrys chest?

Has he given up on me? I wouldn't blame him.

I never gave him a reason to keep trying.

"Hey.." Ashton whispered in my ear, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Sleep here with me tonight?"

His words were soft and I couldn't say no.

"Of course." I smiled and he returned the favour.

"Thankyou. I couldn't stand the thought of spending another night alone.." He whispered and my heart ached.

"Im here..." I kissed his soft lips and he held me close.

*****

Harrys P.O.V.

"How was your night?" I heard Louis say.

"It was great. Ashtons finally coming around again." Ariah answered.

I was listening from the door as Louis told Ariah he was happy for her.

I wasn't happy for her. I wanted to be the one to make her happy.

Even if it wasn't just yet.

I will get her back.

"Morning." I smiled at Ariah and Louis eyed me. "Goodmorning Lou."

"Morning hazza." He grinned and I rolled my eyes.

"Ariah can I speak to you?"

She perked up. "Yeah sure."

"Outside." I nodded towards the door and she followed me out.

"What's up?" Her hands slid into the back pockets of her jeans which complimented her figure well.

"um, I have one of the photos from the fair the other day if you want it."

Maybe itll remind her of how much fun we had together..

"I don't think that's a good idea.." She sighed, smiling half.

I ran a hand through my hair, checking to see if anyone was in hearing distance.

No one.

"Okay, Ariah if you can tell me right now that you don't want anything to do with me, I promise to leave you alone for good." Her eyes widened and she took a breath.

"I can't do that." Her eyes diverted to the ground and I felt a incy little bit of hope.

"Why?"

"Because Im not sure what to make of this but I see you with other girls and I want that girl to be me, I spend time with Ashton and I wish it was you. I fall asleep at night wondering if you're feeling lonely and if I wasn't with Ashton I wonder if I would've been with you. But then I think that if Ashton hadnt have brought me along I wouldn't have met you and I want leave Ashton because then I'll never find out my past and-"

I cut her off before she could continue her speech which was making her lips look more appealing as I pulled her close and connected our lips.

The touch of her lips on mine for the first time in years felt incredible.

If I could relive any moment it would be this one.

We were interrupted by Louis banging on the window at us.

He raised his eyebrows angrily at us as Ariah bit her lip and I stared shocked.

That was everything Id hoped for and let me know that she wanted us as much as I wanted her.

But there's just one problem. Ashton.
