Dating Game

Chapter 16

I woke up the next day and Grayson was going back home. They let us take a few cars to the airport so we could see our family or friends leave. I hugged him and when I got back to the car Ashton was sitting in it. "Did I come to the wrong car?" I asked and he shook his head. "No. I came to talk to you." He said and I nodded, sliding in the car slowly. "About?" "If you're going to choose me." He said and I looked at my hands. "I don't know Ashton. I'm deciding. It's a hard thing to choose." I said and he looked kind of confused. "Who are you stuck between?" "You and Harry." "I saw you laying on him last night. Is there something going on?" He asked and I shrugged. "It's a dating game show. Yes and no. I don't know, Ash. I've still got a lot to figure out." I said and he turned more towards me. I looked at him, trying to figure out what he was doing and he kissed me. I wanted to kiss back but didn't want to at the same time. I pulled away and he sighed. "I guess that answers my question." He said and I didn't say anything. "I'm gonna see if Harry will switch cars with me." He said and got out of the car. We were waiting on people to come back out so the line of cars we had weren't moving until everyone was back. I had my elbows on my knees and my face in my hands when I heard the car door open. "Are you okay?" I heard Harry ask and the door closed again. "I'm frustrated. But I'll be fine." I said not moving from my position. I felt his hand on my shoulder and I looked over at him. "Hey, it's alright. You can talk to me." He said and something about his expression answered every question I had. "I think I just figured it out." I said and he nodded. "Okay then. No more frustration?" "None." I said and he nodded. "That's good. So how the next two weeks is going to go is you guys have dates with each one of us Monday through Thursday, no dates on Fridays or the weekends. And you're with me first." He said and I nodded. "Alright. And when does the whole thing end?" I asked and he chuckled a little. "So eager to get rid of me?" "No. I just need to prepare myself for the night I have to pick." I said and he smiled. "The Friday after your last dates." He said and I nodded. "Okay. So I have a little over two weeks." I said and he nodded. We pulled up to the house and he looked at me. "You should go get dressed. Something comfortable and casual." He said and I nodded before sliding out of the car. I went inside and got ready to go on a mystery date with Harry

When I went back down stairs and saw Harry waiting patiently looking cute and casual.

He looked up from his phone and smiled when he saw me. "Well, don't you look cute." He said and held a hand out for me. I took it and we walked out the door together, talking and laughing. "So where are we going?" "Well, there may or may not be a fair type thing going on near by." He said and my face lit up. I love the fair. "Seriously?" I asked and had the biggest smile on my face. "Since you're so excited I guess I made the right choice." He said and I nodded. He smiled at me and laced his fingers with mine. It was about the middle of the day so a lot of people were still at work, meaning the fair was pretty empty other than people around our age. We got there and got out arm bands and went inside. We started with a few ride that threw you around a retry good bit and decided to take a break and play some games. I saw a booth with the water guns and pulled Harry over with me. "I see the little lady wants to play." The guy running the booth said and smiled at me. I looked at Harry with a hopeful smile and he cracked. "We'll play a round." Harry said and handed him money. We sat down and the ringer went off for us to start. I ended up pushing Harry's gun trying to throw him off. Of course he did the same to me and won. He smiled at me and motioned towards the prizes. "They have a panda!" I almost yelled pointing at the fluffy stuffed panda and the vendor guy took it down and handed it to me. "Have a nice night. Thanks for playing." He said and we walked away to play other games. Throwing darts at balloons and balls at clowns toys. We even found a ring toss. We had a pretty fun night and eventually went back to rides. The sun was starting to set and we made our way to the Ferris wheel. By the time we reached the top and it stopped Harry had his phone out to take a picture of us. I leaned over and kissed his cheek when he took the picture and his expression was priceless. We took a couple of goofy pictures and then he kissed me and took one last picture. "You better not let any of the boys see that one." I said and he smiled at me. "Nope. I think I'll keep you all to myself." He said and I felt myself blush. Once we got off the ride it was dark out and starting to get colder. I hugged my panda to me and tried to warm up some without being to obvious. "Cold?" Harry asked and I smiled at him sheepishly. "A little." I said and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me into his side and warming me up pretty quick. We walked back to the car riding everything we were willing to and once we were settled and headed back to the house I looked at Harry's phone and saw the picture of me kissing his cheek was his background. "You should send me those pictures." I said and he nodded and smiled. He kissed the top of my head, putting his arm around me again, before sending them to me. I put one of us making goofy faces as my background and saved the others. Once we got back to the house I noticed that no one else was home. I went into the kitchen and got a glass of apple juice, only to turn and see Harry behind me. "We're home alone." He said and I nodded. "And the camera crew is out for the night with dates." He said and took a step towards me. He looped his arms around my waist and I sat my cup on the counter, wrapping my arms around him. He leaned down and kissed me, I kissed back instantly and he backed me into the counter, lifting me up so I was sitting on it. He put his hand on my back and pulled me closer to him and we made out until we heard the door to the house open and close. He pressed a quick kiss to my lips and we heard a bedroom door close. He took that as a chance to kiss me again, which I accepted until we heard someone clear their throats in the kitchen. We quickly separated and saw Liam standing in the kitchen. "So is this going to be a thing now?" He asked and I felt my face go red, seeing Harry do the same. "We weren't supposed to get caught. We heard doors and thought whoever was home went to bed since it's getting late." "I was coming in here for a drink." "I have a glass of apple juice right there. I haven't drank any." I said and he took my glass. "Next time, don't make out in the kitchen." Liam said and walked away. I looked at Harry once we was out of sight and started laughing. I hopped off the counter and went over to him. "I guess we will have to go somewhere more private next time." I said and winked before walking out of the kitchen, him following close behind me. I went upstairs to my room and Harry followed me, shutting and locking the door behind himself. As soon as the door was shut I was against us and he was kissing me again, hands low on my hips and squeezing slightly. He pulled me closer to him and the kiss got deeper as I went up on my toes to meet him in the middle. We turned and I started walking back to my bed and sat down. He sat against the wall and pulled me to straddle him. His hands slid under the bottom of my hoodie and lifted it over my head, leaving me in a light pink tank top and my jeans. I heard a knock on my door and we untangled from each other so I could go answer it. I unlocked the door and opened it enough to see who was knocking, but so they could see in my room. "Hey, I was wondering if we could talk." Ashton said when I opened the door and I suddenly felt really uneasy. "Umm... nows not a good time. I was about to shower. Can it wait till tomorrow? We have a date tomorrow, right?" I said and he nodded. "Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow." He said and walked away. I closed the door and put my back against it. Harry got off of my bed and walked over to me. "To be continued." He said and kissed me one more time before attempting to open the door I was still in front of. "He literally just walked away from my door. You have to wait a minute." "Well, I think I can occupy myself." He said and kissed me again, pressing me to the door. We kissed, his hands traveling, for a few minutes before I pulled away and opened the door. He had to adjust himself, because it was a bit obvious he was turned on, and he left my room. I sighed heavily and decided to go to bed and shower in the morning.
