Chapter 20- Elvis Presley

Chapter 20- Elvis Presley
Ashton's POV

"So you mean, we're gonna steal all of this?" She asks and I nod. Her eyes lit up and she squealed really loud, gaining everyone's attention. I apologized and Mia looks back at me embarrassed.

I pick her up before placing her inside the cart. When it was our turn to pay, I lean in next to her ear and whisper, "it's time for some fun." I distracted the cashier, which allowed me to have enough time to run.

3...2...1 and I ran out through the automatic doors of the mini store but not before hearing the cashier scream "get them, they're running away without paying!" Soon enough there were security guards running behind us.

I took many turns, trying to find my car. Fuck my brain for deciding to park my car far away. I look at Mia who's laughing like a kid being tickled by her parents. Guess it wasn't a bad decision after all.

"Run faster Ashton!" And I do as she says. I ran faster and faster, loosing sight of the guards before finding my car. I pick up Mia, and she wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, still laughing. Once she stops, she looks into my eyes.

Something about her green eyes is so captivating, I can't help but get lost in them. I didn't really notice how beautiful her eyes are until now.

Wait what?

Snap out of it Ashton!

I place her down on her feet and she enters the car. I open up the car's trunk and place all the snacks in it before entering the driver's seat and driving home.

I walk upstairs with Mia but not before telling Alexander to bring all the snacks upstairs to our room.

I look up at the clock and it was 10 pm already. Mia looked very exhausted, and I could that by the way she just jumped on the bed trying to make herself comfy. I walk towards the walk in closet and find a pair of sweatpants before slipping into it.

Once I walk back out, I look at Mia scribbling something in her book. She then puts the book back in her bag and places the bag on the bedside table.

I walk towards the bed and lie down next to Mia, who clearly moved away an inch or two from me, "you can lie down next to me, I don't bite." I say,

"Who knows, maybe you're capable of doing that too." She replies, making me chuckle. "You know, you can't really be my 'husband' if I don't even know a thing or two about you." She says,

"What do you wanna know about me?" I ask,

"I don't know, anything. Anything to at least get to know you better. Hmm, let me think." She took a few minutes to think before asking,

"From where really are you? As far as I know from my knowledge of names, Calista sounds very Greek, and Ashton definitely doesn't."

"I'm half Greek and half American. My mom's Greek, and my dad's American. My dad chose my name, that explains why my name is Ashton Calhoun. Anything else you wanna ask?"

"Don't you wanna get to know me better too? I mean you need to know at least something about your wife, right?" She asks,

"What are your hobbies?"

What? That's the best I could think of.

"Doodling, playing badminton and volleyball. What's the scariest moment of your life?"

"When the dealer I had a deal with held a gun against my mother's head." I reply, "favorite song?"

"Can't help falling in love by Elvis Presley."

And just like this, we went on asking questions about every possible random things until 11 pm. Mia's eyes started to droop, and soon her eyes close, making her go into a deep slumber.

I place the blanket over her and myself and tuck her in, making sure that she wouldn't feel cold. Soon, I close my eyes and the darkness engulfed me.

*******

Ashton doesn't really seem that bad, right? Anyways, comment and vote ;)
