Cute Stranger (Ashton Irwin)

Chapter 7

I woke up to the sound of a loud humming on my night stand. My phone was buzzing. I picked it up to see I had 4 missed calls from Ashton and a text.
Ashton: I'm outside in the back. Come on and be quick.
I simply threw on some shorts and pulled my hair into a messy bun as I walked down the stairs. I seen Ashton through the kitchen window. I stepped through the back door and looked at him strangely. "What are you doing here?! It's 5am!" I tried to be as quiet as possible. "I wanted to see you.." He said looking down at his feet. I put my hand on his arm. "Come inside, but be quiet everyone is still sleeping". We walked through the downstairs and around to the stairs. My stairs are hardwood so it was hard being quiet because Ashton has huge feet. We reached my bedroom and he sat down in my rolling computer chair. I sat down on my bed "so why did you want to see me?" I said looking into his beautiful hazel eyes "well, I missed you.". I didn't know what to say back. He has a girlfriend. All that was coming to mind was what the hell do I say?! "I missed you too Ash." WHAT THE HECK BROOKE?! Why would you say that to him HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND! I was battling myself trying to figure out what to say. "Really?" He said in a happy shocked tone. "Yes, and I'm glad you came over this morning." I smiled and finally gave into myself. I was done battling. Why fight it. I like Ashton.

Me and Ashton talked until about 6:30am and I told him it was time for him to go. I didn't want my mom to wake up and find a guy in my room. He walked down the stairs and left the way he came and I felt like something was missing.

*later that day*

"Hey mom" I said I said coming down the stairs. "Yes?" She responded. "Can I go out with Ashton he wants me to meet his band mates?" She looked over at me "band mates?" She questioned "yes mom band mates. Please don't make a huge deal out of it. I really like him and I don't want you ruining it for me." She giggled "I won't sweetie I promise.". I went back upstairs to grab my phone to text Ashton.
"Hey I'm ready. Can't wait for tonight."
It took a few minutes for him to respond
"Great in on my way"
I smiled and went to my bathroom to touch up my hair. I looked in the mirror and I was very proud of myself. I looked good. For the first time in a long time I could say that about myself. I waited about 10 minutes and finally got a phone call.
"I'm down stairs and I dm t want to ring the doorbell. I'm scared that I'll have to have a conversation with your mom." I laughed "it's okay just knock and then come in.". "Okay see you in a second. I can't wait.".
Even though we were on the phone, I could tell he had a big grin on his face stretching from ear to ear. Step by step I made my way down stairs. When I finally made it down I met Ashton at the door way. "Wow." I smiled and looked down blushing a little "you look stunning Brooke. Embrace it darling" I slowly raised my head to find my eyes met with his. He sent me a half smile that gave me butterfly's. He laced out fingers "are you ready to go?" I nodded in agreement and followed him down the path. I was actually on my way to meet my hot friends band.
