A Little Busy ;Cashton

Cliffs Edge

Calum's POV ( thought I should change it up)

Mr.Hood was the one thing I was sick of hearing it makes me sound old and professional when I'm the opposite of both of those but I had to deal with it .
When I escaped from the pestering crowd I went out back and brought out a smoke. I inhaled deeply and sighed closing my eyes and loosing my tie .

I turned my head when I heard a little girl's squeal I saw Ashton with a little girl who looked exactly like him. He had thrown her over his shoulder and I could hear them talking or arguing over who is better the arctic monkeys or red hot chili peppers. I smiled when I heard the little girl had favored the arctic monkeys  and called her dad a veggie lover .

"Hey Ashton" I called to him both of the curly heads looked up Ashton looked embarrassed as his daughter whispered things in to his ear, I walked closer to them and the  Little girl looked up and frowned angrily crossing her arms together.

" oh hi Mr.hood" he set the girl down " Bella say hello " she stuck close to her dad.
" hi" she still had angry look on her face, I stooped down to her level and looked up at Ashton was watching her as she stared at me .
" hi Bella I'm calum " I stuck my hand out to her she looked at it then looked at her dad he nodded and she took my hand and squeezed it tightly I winced and smiled through the pain . " Nice grip you have there girly " I pulled my hand back and stood back up .

" I'm sorry about her she is territorial " Ashton apologized as he walked in to the office with Arabella trailing behind him with a back pack on. " it's alright I understand I never really liked it when strangers talked to the people I love " I smiled and looked at her as she stared at the ground walking behind her dad .

When we arrived at Ashton's desk Arabella looked lost seeing all the adults running around. " ok bean here is the game plan " I heard Ashton start talking to Bella but I interrupted him.

" she can hang out in my office " I looked at ashton asking for approval he looked shocked " I'm not that cold hearted you know" he looked embarrassed " no I didn't think you were" I laughed " I was joking Ash, come on Arabella " I walked towards my office hearing stomping behind me .

I held the door open for her and saw Ashton looked worried I just smiled and opened the blinds in my office a little so he could see her, he smiled .

" so Arabella how old are you ? " I sat down at my desk as she climbed in to the seat in front of me. " i'm 4 " she pulled her backpack in to her lap unzipping it and pulling out a coloring book and crayons .
" Do you like my dad " she looked up from her drawing holding a blue crayon. my eyebrows rose at the question " well Arabella I like your dad as a person he is very nice "  I had o hold myself back from cringing at what I said to her. I couldn't tell a 4 year old "yeah I like your dad I like the way he smiles at you and I like the way his hair looks after we make out " I thought to myself

By lunch ashton had knocked on the door, bella was still drawing and was bobbing her head along to glass animals playing throughout my office. my head popped up from the work i was doing to see him walking in " Hi ashton " i said loudly enough to get Bella's attention her eyes got big and she ran over and hugged ashton's legs, he smiled and brushed some hair from her forehead and lifted her up and sat down in a chair " I hope she wasn't too much trouble " Ashton stammered out I chuckled " no she wasn't any trouble she mostly colored in her book " I looked at his worried eyes that when I got lost in thought . How are the other people going to react with the way I'm treating ashton, would they lose respect for me or would the scoff at me . i
