Beside You (An Ashton Irwin Fanfiction)

twenty five

'Ready!' I shout slipping my top over my head, coverig my bikini.

I grin grabbing my bag and walk out of the room following the boys downstairs.

'It's so hot' Michael pants and I nod agreeing.

'Right, can i atleast know where we're going, I mean i needed a bikini so its either beach, pool-' I start until I get interupted by Calum

'Hush, it's a suprise' He says waving his hands in my face, I fold my arms over my chest as i climb into the car.

'how long will it take?' I ask throwing some chewing gum in my mouth.

'About ten minutes' Ashton says looking at me through the rear view mirror.

I nod and feel a nudge beside me, 'Are you two alright then?' Calum asks furrowing his eyebrows.

I notice Michael turn the radio up and i thank him mentally.

'I don't know, I think so. I miss him' I whisper sighing.

'He... Misses you too' he mumbles and i frown, 'did something happen while i was away?' I ask, and his eyes widen as he shakes his head.

Liar.

He looks down and at me and sighed 'Look, he kissed a girl, that was all. He'd been all depressed through the week and we wanted him to be nore pumped, so Luke kinda said that you'd probably moved on so he should too. He didnt mean it he just-'

'What are you two whispering about?' Michael asks making he others look at us.

'Glee, I'm trying to get Cal into it' I say nudgig Calum. He goes along with it shakig his head

'No, it's a girly show' He complains and the other boys laugh and carry on.

Calum sighs with relief and shuffles in his seat before carrying on saying 'Like i said, he didn't mean it, he just said it. Then Ash got a bit angry i guess, and we hung out eith Luke's cousins for the day, by the end, Ash had kissed one, then told me he regretted it.'

I nod and frown, at him. 'Has he talked to her?'

'Nope, he loves you Laura.' He tells me as I drop my head onto his shoulder.

'I don't think he does, love? Love, me?' I sighed and I hear Calum groan.

'How can you not see it?' He asks and I roll my eyes as the car comes to a halt.

'Let's go' Ashton says jumping out of the car and we all nod climbing out.

'It's just a little walk down here' Luke explains leading us through some trees.

'Um guys, are you sure you know where we're going?' i ask as we begin to walk through a small path.

'Yeah, just shut up' Michael says hitting me over the head.

I roll my eyes and begin fanning myself with my hand, I then sigh from the heat and roll my eyes as Luke takes off his shirt, and Calum squeels.

'Oo Lukey' Calum laughs poking him.

I laugh hitting him on the arm and then freeze staring at the beauty infront of me.

A lake, a beautiful lake. Like one in a fairytale, The grass was bright, but rough, and the lake was clear. The boys began stripping off and jumping into the water. 

'Coming in?' Ashton asked taking off his shirt.

I nod slipping off mine and my shoes, I quickly grinned throwing my phone on the grass and grabbing his hand pulling him in the water.

We both scream as the cool water hit our skins, and I sigh as my body cooled down from the heat.

I lifted myself up onto the grass, and let my feet dangle in the water, I took in my surroundings as I drew in a deep breath.

'This place is beautiful' I say and I look over at the boys who are in middle of a splash war.

Michael notices me staring and swims over, 'does this remind you of the one back home?' he asks and i nod grinning.

'This is way better though' i say and he agrees nodding.

When we were younger we found a lake and we'd go there all the time, it was close to maccas too, so we'd always eat there.

Mikey even had his first kiss there with a girl called Lissie, we were friends for a couple years but she moved when we left school.

It was pretty but this place was a lot  better.

'stop daydreaming.' Michael tells me as he flops himself around in the water.

I chuckle and nod as he swims away while Ashton comes closer.

'hey beautiful, enjoying the lake?' He greets me and I laugh and try to ignore the blushing of my cheeks.

'It's amazing here.' I reply and he nods climbing up onto the grass and reaching into his shorts pockets which he'd thrown down earlier.

He then joins me and dangles his feet in the water holding his phone infront of us.

'Hey keek!' he starts and I roll my eyes as he speaks to the camera.

'We're at the most amazing place today, look' he says and turns his phone around showing the lake.

'It's beautiful' I say smiling at the camera.

I hear Ashton mutter something, but I just shrug in response as he posts the video and puts his phone back.

'Care to join?' he asks as he dives in, I quickly contain myself after admiring his beautiful body dive into the water.

I slide myself back into the lake and giggle as I feel a pair of hands on my hips,

'I've missed you, so much' He whispers planting cold wet kisses on my neck.

I moan and lean into him, 'don't ash, not here' I tell him and he sighs.

'the boys are far out' he says and spins me around slowly.

'Please, be mine again?' he begs,

I nod looking up at him and wrap my arms around his neck. 'I missed you'

'I missed you too' I say and smile as he places his lips on for the first time in too long.

I feel him smile into the kiss and then press his forhead onto mine as we hear wolf whistles from the boys.

I hold my middle finger up and laugh pressing my lips to his again.
