Who's That Girl? //5SOS

Chapter 4

~Natalie~

So me and Ashton are currently in the car on a way to some restaurant,  I guess.  There’s kind of an awkward silence between us. I decide to turn the radio but as my hand reaches for the button Ashton screams.

“WAIT!”

“What I was just about to put on the radio?”

“Yeah I know, just wait.”

Ashton presses the eject button and I could not believe what CD came out, it was Selena Gomez ‘Stars Dance’ CD. I snatch it off him as he is driving and focused on the road and put the record back into the player. I search around the car to find the disc case and find it under the chair I’m sitting on. Skipping a few tracks I didn’t know I landed on Track 5 which was ‘Come & Get It’.

“So Ash, you gonna tell me why you have a Selena Gomez CD in your car?”

“Um.. it’s my sisters!” Ashton lies even though he’s not very good at it.

“Yeah sure that’s why you have it.”

We both sing along to the song dancing in the car seats, I haven’t had this much fun with a guy in so long, well really it’s sort of the first time that I have. After being bullied by four of the most popular muso’s in school it hurts your reputation quite a bit. I remember liking this guy called Joe when I was nine, he was a few years older than me but we were family friends, me and his sister Zoe were close. He moved away when his parents split up and I haven’t seen him since. 

We’ve been driving for ages and I’ve almost fallen asleep by the time Ashton parks the car. Like the gentleman he leaves his side and opens my door for me, at least this time he didn’t slam the door in my face. As he closes the car door behind me he giggles and looks at me.

“What?” I say confused.

“Nothing just a funny memory…” Ashton soothes

Ashton grabs my hand and leads me to the front door of some fancy French restaurant. I took French in high school it was really fun, one of the only classes the four boys weren’t it, it was probably too complicated.

“Bonjour! Avez-vous une réservation?”  The doorman asks Ashton if he has a reservation.

“Oui nous faisons. En vertu Irwin, table pour deux personnes” Ash answers.

I was surprised. I had no idea Ashton even knew how to say Hello in a different language let alone say ‘Yes we do. Under Irwin, table for two’ in French.

The doorman then gets a waiter to take us to our table; I didn’t quite catch his face although he had light brown- dark blonde hair a bit like Ashton’s. Ashton once again acts gentleman-like and pulls out my chair for me before sitting on his own.  As soon as my bum touched the chair

“Salut, I will be your waiter tonight just look through your menu’s and I will be back soon to take your orders.” Our waiter says in an English accent even though he was meant to be speaking french.

I immediately look up and see Joe, Joe Sugg!

“JOE!! IS THAT YOU!!?!” I scream making heads turn to face me.

“Natalie? NATTY! IT’S BEEN YEARS!!!” Joe screams just as loud

“I’ve missed you so much Joe. When did you come back to Sydney”

“Well-

Ashton cut Joe off with a cough signaling he was still there and me and Joe weren’t the only two in the room.

“Oh yeah, Joe this is Ashton a friend of mine I guess, Ashton this is Joe he used to be my best friend until he moved back to England and we lost contact for a few years.” I introduce the two.

Ash started to look  a bit upset- well jealous, no idea why though it’s not like we’re dating and me and Joe are just friends anyways no matter how gorgeous he is and how amazing his accent sounds to my ears or the fact that I used to have a tiny crush on him. Besides Ashton and I aren’t officially dating, he never asked me to be his girlfriend, I hardly know him, all we are right now are just make-out buddies that have tried a date. Wait, no I can’t fall in love and I won’t

Ashton smiles a fake smile and waves as subtly as possible to Joe being rude. Joe does the same. Gosh boys are just impolite aren’t they, I thought guys usually get along when they meet each other then act like best mates in five minutes.

Joe took our orders and walked off leaving me and Ashton.

“I don’t like him Nat.” Ashton admits.

“Well I don’t choose who you like or not and he is our waiter so be nice.” If I go out with guys it’s good to see how they treat a waiter because it shows what sort of person they are and how they treat other people, it’s not that I like him or anything it’s just inhumane actually its completely humane only it’s not just or the right way to treat anything really.

The rest of the dinner was really awkward we hardly spoke all we did was ask each other if we liked the food. Joe came back with the bill and handed it to me, I opened it up finding his phone number in it. I quickly took it out and slid it into my bag. Ashton snatched the bill out  of my hand claiming that he would pay as it was a date and he was a ‘gentleman’.

The car ride home was much more awkward than the dinner. All that was heard was that silent ringing of white noise. As we drove I notice Ashton looking at me.

“Stop looking at me! It’s weird.” I say complaining.

“What I like your eyes.” He keeps his eyes on the road avoiding my own eyes he claims he likes.

I look down and blush. We soon pull up at my home and he gets out first once again and opens my door. I go to get out but he carries me bridal style and carries me to the front. He sets me down and looks at me again. Staring into my eyes as I stare right back at his and he leans in. I thought these kisses only happen in movies and books, guess not. Ashton’s slightly chapped lips meet my soft ones that taste slightly of mango as I applied some lip balm before. I close my eyes and lean more into the kiss as does he. Ash pulls away.

“Goodnight Natalie.” He hugs me goodbye and walks down the porch steps.
