Between Your Body & Your Soul {Alan Ashby}

Chapter 8

I dressed in a black-lace, sun dressed that reached down to my mid-thigh, with black flats. I grabbed my grey varsity jacket. I went into the bathroom and fixed my make up. I went light on the make up this time, just in case and wore my hair naturally in lose curls.

When I was done in the bathroom, I opened the door. Alan was standing there with his hand up like he was about to knock. Slowly, his eye scanned me from head to toe and he blushed.

"You look amazing." the corners of his mouth reaching from ear to ear, showing his perfect, white teeth.

I blushed. He was wearing a white dress shirt that wasn't tucked in, with tan skinny jeans, and worn out black dress shoes. His hair was still messy, but I loved it. Alan was the one who looked amazing. Even after a show, or when he wakes up, he always looked perfect.

He held out his hand. I was a hesitant at first, but then laced our fingers together. Our hands molded perfectly.

We walked though the city in silence, but it was comforting. I was anxious to find out what Alan had planned.

It seemed like we were walking forever.

"Close your eyes." he said, going behind me and putting something over my eyes so I definitely couldn't see.

Alan gently set his hands on my hips, guiding me. Finally, he tightened his grip and stopped me.

"Okay." he said cheerfully.

I removed whatever was around my eyes and gasped.

There was a gazebo with lights all around it. In the center of the gazebo, there was a blanket with a box of pizza, 2 wine glasses, and various drink choices that were from the bands fridge. I giggled quietly.

"I didn't have enough time to book a nice restaurant and no good places were open. I'm sorry." Alan said sadly.

I turned to him and looked at him. His brown eyes made me melt, and his presence made me feel weak, but strong at the same time. I felt so confused. I looked down at the grass.

"Alan..." I whispered loud enough for him to hear. I lifted my head to look at him.

As I did he took my face in his hands and kissed me. I was taken by surprised, but didn't hesitate. The kiss was slow, but passionate. I felt as though my whole body was floating. We both pulled away and blushed.

"You hungry?" Alan asked. I looked down and started playing with my hands which were shaking. He noticed I was uncomfortable because he knew I wanted to say no.

He wrapped his hands around mine and whispered into my ear.

"You'll be okay."

I smiled.

"Yeah, I'm a bit hungry." I said.

Alan smiled and we walked over by the pizza and dug in.

I hesitated at first, but Alan soon started up a conversation and distracted me. I'd eaten 4 pieces and didn't feel sick or disgusted.

"Annabelle?" Alan grabbed my hands and held them.

"Alan?" I mocked.

He smiled and squeezed my hands.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"
