Chapter 9: Do I stay Or Do I Go?

 I look around my now empty apartment that has been my home for the last year since my mom moved us here, It has always felt empty in here though even when it was filled up with my stuff. I watch my giants take out the last big box that was left in my room and notice Ashton smiling at me. I smile back at him before walking back out and close the door before heading to the office to turn in the key.

  "Hey Peyton" The manager's son who is my age greets me with a smile. 

  "Hi, um I just need to give these back?" I say unsure weather his mom his here or not.

  "I can give them to my mom" He says sticking out his hand

  "Alright, thanks" I say as I drop the key into his hand and turn to leave.

  "Peyton, wait" He says coming out from behind the desk.

  "Yeah?" I ask him feeling awkward at his close proximity.

  "I was... Well I wondering if you would like to go out sometime?" He says smiling at me. 

  "Well I am sure she would love to but she is kinf of busy... with me" I hear Ashton's voice come out of no where answering for me. I look over my shoulder to find him looking at the boy whose name I honestly don't know. 

  "Oh... right.... Umm bye Peyton?" He says blushing. 

  "Sorry." I tell him as I give him a small smile as I walk over to the door.  "Bye" I say waving at him as Ashton's hand wraps around my shoulder. Once I know we are out of sight from the now embarrassed boy I look up at him giving him a 'What was that about' look. 

  "What?" He says 

  "What was that back there?" I ask him making a smile start to form on his lips.

  "The truth" He says with a smirk growing.

  "Oh was it now?" I say as I look at the boys closing the moving truck. 

  "It is most definitely the truth" He says whispering in my ear, his hot breath hitting my neck making my eyes close. "See" He adds in as he presses his lips to my neck. 

  "Fuck off" I tell him as I walk to his car. 

  "Peyton... Don't you need to drive that"  Ashton says pointing to the outrageous car that is parked next to his.

  "Do i have to?" I ask sounding like a kid. 

  "I mean you don't have to but most people don't just leave their car at a place they no longer live in" Ashton says as he places his hands on my waist. 

  "Fine" I say making a face up at him making him chuckle. 

  "I will see you in a few minutes" He says as he presses his lips to my forehead and takes his hands off my waist. 

  "Yeah, yeah, yeah" I say walking past him as I feel a slap against my ass making me turn back around to look at him.

  "Did you just slap my ass?" I ask him was I cross my arms over my chest.

  "Maybe" He says smirking as he gets into his car before winking at me and reversing out of the spot. 

  "You little fucker" I say as I walk to the the car that is now mine. 

 I turn on the car and plug my phone into the stereo and push play on a song before reversing and heading out of the place I once called home. 

And this is how it starts

Take your shoes off in the back of my van

Yeah my shirt looks so good,
