What I Thought I Didn't Need

Chapter 6

Ashton's P.O.V

Church?? Church. Is he serious right now? I held my breath waiting for him to burst out laughing. But he didn't.

I went over and tapped his head. "You alright there, Enrique?"
I regretted saying it as soon as the words left my mouth. I saw hurt flash through his eyes. He turned around without a word and was about to walk away but I caught his hand before he could.  "Yes I'll go with you." He smiled big and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Thanks Ashton."

I just promised Enrique to go to church with him. Like on Sunday. That is the day after tomorrow. What do I wear? What do people do at church anyway?? I had never in my entire life been in church.

I believe that there is a God. But why go to church? I'm a generally good person. I mean I'm nice to almost everyone. Exept for the people I hate obviously. But everybody hates somebody right?

The day went by pretty quick and James was doing well. James and I had planed to go get me a new phone after school since I had smashed my other one when I got mad at my parents. Which by the way they hadn't checked up on James at all. They had another house close to their business where they stayed when they got real busy. It was a half an hour drive from where we actually live. My parents are rich. I never need to worry about money. But sometimes I just hate the fact that they care so much more about work then family. The incident with James mad me realize that.

James had pleaded guilty for use of illegal drugs and this was only a one time thing when he was getting crystal meth for someone. We went bailed him out and the suspect was charged and served 2 years in prison.

The day went by fast and before I knew it, we were on our way to Telus to get me a new phone. I picked a white iPhone 6 Plus. Like I said money was definitely not a problem.

We got my phone activated and headed home.

"Do you want anything to eat?" I asked my brother. I was determined to build a strong bond with him.

"Sure. Be right back."

James returned a few minutes later having showered. He wore a tight muscle shirt and some shorts. (Stop drooling over my brother although you could definetly make out his abbs since his shirt was tight.)

We sat down at the island on stools and ate the salad I had made.

"So Enrique asked me to go to Church with him on Sunday, do you wanna come?"

He choked on his salad and started coughing uncontrollably. He gulped down some iced tea before laughing like a freaking hyena.

"James I'm serious." He stopped laughing and looked at me before bursting into another fit of laughter.  "Well at least you're happy."

I had finished my salad and starting cleaning up and loading the dishwasher while James did his best to calm down.

"Yeah I'll go with you guys." He said as he chuckled under his breath. "It's gonna be one heck of a Sunday morning."

"Oh and we're going to the beach with some friends Sunday afternoon, you're welcome to join us if you want."

"Count me in. I freaking love the babes."

I gave him a death glare.

"I mean beach. I meant to say beach. I freaking love the beach." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

Just then someone knocked on the door.

James and I both ran to get the door but he beat me to it. He opened the door to reveal a very snobby looking Natalie. She wore a very low cut top and black mini shorts and heels.

She gave me a dirty look as I spun around on my heel and took a seat on the living room couch still being in earshot.

"Damn girl." James said as I heard kissing noises. I cannot believe him. But honestly can't blame him cause he probably has no idea about the hatred between the two of us.

After a good five minutes of unappealing sounds, the went up to my brother's room. Gross.

About 6 minutes later the doorbell rang again. To lazy to get up this time, I only yelled "It's open!"

Enrique walked in looking as good as ever. Boy I liked it when he wore muscle shirts. My best friend is pretty damn good look-

Calm yourself woman. He's your best friend, not some dude you can just date or drool over.

"Hey!" He came to me and crushed me in a hug. He held on longer then usual. Hm odd… Not that I didn't like it.

We spent the evening drinking soda and watching movies. He was nice enough to watch the Divergent series with me without getting tired of me pausing it to stare at Theo James.

Allegiant was almost over when I took a look at Enrique. Damn he looked good. He must have noticed me staring and looked back at me. I felt frozen. His expression matched mine. Slowly he put his hand on my cheek and drew me closer so our foreheads touched. Butterflies rose in me and I didn't know why. Closing his eyes he closed the distance and his lips came crashing down on mine. At first slowly then faster as I weaved my fingers into his hair. He pulled me onto his lap and intensified the kiss if that's possible. Suddenly he broke away leaving us both breathless.

"I'm sorry." He breathed out in a low husky voice.

"Don't be." I said as I kissed him this time. Totally forgetting about the movie, it had become a full blown make out scene on our couch.
We jumped apart when we heard the door to James' room open and a giggling Natalie walked out followed by my brother.

It was well after 11:00pm but tomorrow was a Saturday so it didn't matter.

After they had said their goodbyes, James went back up to his room.

"I should go." Enrique said as he got up slowly getting ready to leave. I followed him to the door where couldn't help but kiss him again. This time his smile broke our  kiss which made me smile too. "Good night Ashton."

"Good night."

With that, he left and I found it hard to sleep that night. I couldn't stop thinking about my best friend.
