Distance // a.i (Discontinued)

~Chapter 8~

~Michael POV~

Jessi and Ashton stood there looking at the fans. I could tell he was falling for her, fast. He was head over heels over her. He's only known her for 2 days but he already knows so much about her. He would never stop talking about her.

She's really pretty don't get me wrong but let's just say in my opinion Bri is absolutely gorgeous! She was really funny and has such amazing stories to tell, I could literally listen to her talk all day. I was obsessed with her hair, it reminding me of mine when it was red, Her big brown eyes, her laugh, her smile. Lets just say I was falling fast, Ash and I both.

~Jessi POV~
I spend about another two to three hours at the boys hotel, just chilling with them, we watched some family guy, and played some video games. Luke never showed up, we all figured he was with Arzyalea. I was never a huge fan of her, neither were the boys. Since it was almost five and I still have yet to eat and have to get some work done, I figured I'd leave. Even if I would stay all day and night.

I get up and grab my shoes. I begin to lace up my shoes.

"Hey, where are you going?" Ashton asks, as he realized I had gotten up.

"Ash, I have to leave. I'm sorry babe but I have to go to work in the morning. I also need to eat dinner."

"No! Don't leave! Do you really have to go to work?"

"Yes, I need to pay the bills somehow! You can come over when I get home tomorrow, ok?"

"Ok. I'm taking you home."

"Ashton, I'll just grab an uber, you don't ha-"

"No! I'm taking you home."

I put my hands up in surrender. He jumps off the bed and puts on some nike slides. He rushes over and opens the door for me. I chuckle at how much he wants me to me to be queen, he sure treats me like one, but I'm not sure if I can be his queen, if he found out he would not be happy.

We walk down to the elevator, he pulls out his phone and calls Jack, their security guard, he tells him to pull round the car. We reach the lobby and he grabs my hand and we rush past the crowd, once again. Ashton rushes me into the black car first the gets in, he shuts the door.

"Jack, we need to get my princess home."

I blush as I realize what he called me. He honestly is so sweet. I get my phone out of my pocket and text Bri. 'Hey, I'll be home soon if u wnna come ovr but I need to get wrk done' I press send and shut my phone off.

Jack puts in the address Ash had told him and starts to drive. I sit in the seat looking at my hands. Ashton wraps his arm around me and pulls me close.

"You ok Jess?"

"Yeah, just a bit tired but I have work to do so I can't go to sleep." I sigh. He looks at me in concern.

"Do you really need to go to work. I mean what do you even do?"

"I work in marketing but I'm the assistant and my boss always puts his work on me, I'm always stuck with his stuff."

"Why don't you quit?"

"Ash, I need the money. I can't just quit, even if I wanted to." I really want to but he would punish me.

He rubs my arm with his hand. We sit there in silence. The rest to the drive contained of quiet music and the sound of the crazy streets beyond the car doors.

We finally arrive at my apartment building, we pull up to the front, ash not getting out in case the paparazzi are following us.

"Thanks, again."

"No problem Jess."

He held my hands in his, he looked into my eyes. I felt my cheeks become heated and he leans in, he presses his lips gently on my warm cheek. I froze, but in a good way. I make a small smile and look down at our hands.

"See you tomorrow Jessi. Text me when you get home tomorrow."

"Ok Ashton." He loosens his hands and I let go. I quickly get out and shut the door. I walk into the front and look back. I see the dark car drive off, I turn and continue down the hall. I enter the elevator and up to my floor. The doors open and i walk down to my door, unlocking it.

I kick my shoes off and go to my room to change into something more comfy. I take my clothes off and put on a large band tee and some athletic shorts. I take my hair down to put it right back up into a messy bun on the top of my head. I continue to unwind by walking to my bathroom, I reach into the drawer and grab my makeup wipes. I wipe my face and wash it with my face cream.

I go to my kitchen to make myself some food, since I've haven't eaten in 6 hours. I open my freezer and grab a chicken pot pie and popping it into the microwave. I sit down at the table minutes later. I eat my pot pie a do scroll through instagram. I finish the pie and throw it away.

I sigh realizing I have loads of work to do, I walk to my office and sit down in my black spinning chair. I unlock my computer. Here comes hours of no sleep and lots of work.
