Ashton and I made our way into the nearest IHOP. We get a small booth and neither of us say anything. But it isn't an awkward silence. Its actually pretty peaceful. I think we are both just trying to recap for what happened last night. Hopefully the girls didn't find out about this, otherwise I'd probably be dead.

"Hi there. My name is Matt. What can I get for you today?" The boy in the blue apron smiled.

"Coffee." Ashton muttered and went back to looking at the menu.

"Can I have tea?" I ask.

Matt nods his head. "I'll be back soon." he smiled at me and walked off.

I look over at Ashton who is totally oblivious to the fact that this guy is hitting on me. I should play along until Ashton notices.

Matt walk backs over and hands us our drinks.

"Thanks." I smirk and bite my lip gently.

Ashton drank his coffee, still not noticing.

After we both order our food Matt walks off and I look at Ashton.

"Is something on your mind?" I ask him.

"Yeah. I guess." He shrugged slightly.

I frown. "Does it have to deal with last night?"

Ashton looks up and nods softly.

"Well we used protection.." I say softly.

He sighs and looks at me. "Its not about that. W-Why?" he asked.

"Why what?" I frown even more.

"Why did you sleep with me? You hate me and you could have easily said no." He ran his hand through his hair.

"Ashton. I-I don't hate you. I thought you hated me." I said to him.

Ashton laughed softly. "How could you think I hated you?"

"Well you always teased me and made fun of me."

"I never meant to hurt you if that whats you mean. I just teased you because I didn't know how to tell you that I like you."

"Y-You like me?

He laughed softly. "Yes. Its not like we slept together just so I could leave you."

I blush softly and begin to eat as our food is brought out to us. I don't think I've ever been this hungry before. I manage to finish my food before Ashton is halfway done. He laughs and shares one of his pancakes with me.

By the time the check comes nothing seems odd between us anymore. But when Ashton looks at the bill he glares.

"What?" I ask.

"He left his fucking number in here for you." he growls.

I frown. "I'm not gonna take it. I'm happy with who I have." I smile.

We both walk to the counter, Ashton has his arm around my waist, holding me close to him. I smile lightly to myself. He pays for the two of us and we quickly leave. As we get into his car he tilts my chin towards him and up a bit. He places his lips softly against mine. I immediately feel butterflies in my stomach and turn a light shade of pink. The cold metal from his lip ring gives me shivers. 

"We are having a party for Calum tonight." he smiled. "You and the girls are coming right?" he asked.

I nod and he smiles. "Good because you're gonna have to be there to see the look on his face when he sees what we got him." he laughed.

I shake my head and we both head back to the dorms. Once we get back we decide to head our seperate ways. I can't help but think about what happened last night. It was magical to say the least. But I'm supposed to hate him. We are supposed to hate each other. I suddenly become very worried about what he is doing. Was this some bet? See how quick he can get my virginity? Well it did take him over four years to get it. 

I finally get to my dorm and unlock the door with the key I have with me. I look around my room and sigh. I lay down on the bed and close my eyes tight. Not even five minutes pass and there is a knock on my door. I get off my bed and open the door. Stood in front of me is.

"Mikey? What are you doing here?" I ask him.

I'm suddenly being pushed up against the back of my now closed door. Mikey's lips pressed against mine. I have this feeling in my gut like I'm betraying both Ashton and Tracy. But neither of them need to know about this, right?

 Before I knew it Mikey was gone. I looked around and sighed softly. No one could know about that. I looked through my closet, looking for something to wear to Calum's birthday party. I grabbed my fall out boy shirt along with a demin vest. I then grabbed my black leather skirt and a pair of black wedges. I knew the outfit needed one more thing. The black bowler hat was sitting on my bed so i put the outfit together. I then grabbed a necklace and bracelet, setting them where they would be placed. After I was happy with the look a grabbed my bathroom bag and made my way down to the showers.
