The Ex-Boyfriend Benefits // 5SOS

Chapter 5

"Ashton's here."

"Ask me if I give a thang."

I imagine slapping and hitting myself with a hollow block when I remember my conversation with Calum earlier. Its just.. I thought he was just making fun of me that time.

But it's Ashton, right? I barely see him in person but I always check his facebook. This is Ashton. Why is Ashton talking to me? Is this some kind of a sick joke? But this is Ashton. Really.

"Hi." I simply respond. I don't know what to say. This is embarrassing. I know I look terrible now. Plus I dont know why he is talking to me. But I cant deny I love that he is.

"Hey," He says again. I feel like talking to a stranger on omegle. It's freaking awkward.

"Oh..kay. Do I know you?" I ask. We all know that's a lie. I've been stalking him for days. I still try not to freak out.

"Ashton. Ashton Irwin." He answers.

"Can I help you? Do you need something?" I ask again.

"No and Yes." I give him the look okay-what-it-is

"But mostly, I dont really need anything." He adds.

"Mr. Ashton Irwin. All right. I hope you won't mind but, you dont need anything so, why are you talking to me now?" I ask. I try to stop myself from smiling. While he is just looking at me. But I notice that he's kind of drunk.

"What's your name?" He asks.

"Judith." I just answer. Ofcourse, I want to talk to him. I'm just playing hard to get. I mean, you know, girl thing.

"So, you're Michael's friend?" I ask. I was just kidding when I said that I was playing hard to get. This is my chance.

"Yeah, why are you alone? I mean, where's Calum?" He asks, ignoring my question. I give him a surprised look.

"You know him?" I ask, suspiciously.

"Kind of." He simply answers. I just nod.

"So, where is he?" He asks again.

"Inside. Hooking up with some girls."

"What? I thought you guys were dating?" He says. Now, I cant help to smile. Does he know me?

"We aren't anymore. But I was just kidding. He's not hooking up with someone or maybe he is now, but the reason why he's inside is because Michael called him." He smiles as I answer.

"I see. It's kinda cold here. You better be inside." He suggests.

"You know me, don't you?" I smirk, looking up to him.

"Actually, I don't." He smirks too, running his fingers through his hair. I notice that his hair looks sexier in person. I wanna eat it. Like, its so fluffy, I'm gonna die!

"Uh.. really?" I tease.

"I mean, I just dont know you. I really know you." He says, smiling. My jaw drops.

"What?! I mean, okay. But seriously, what the actual fck? Are you stalking me?" It sounds creepy to me but I like it at the same time.

He laughs. I remain shocked.

"It's fair. You're stalking me too." I step back a little then look down like a guilty accused person in court.
