#46 Commitment Issues

Luke:
When you're young and rebellious, there's no need to settle down. You don't need a boyfriend or a husband to try and calm you down from your wild streak when you weren't ready to be calm, so what was the point in getting close enough to someone for them to pop the question?

In the current situation, with Luke sitting in front of you at the dinner table and you sitting on the other side of him with your plates half-empty; it was getting tense and you weren't anywhere near ready to answer the question that you knew was bound to be asked by him any time now. Luke had previously confessed his actual feelings towards you as soon as you'd entered the restaurant and you'd tried your hardest to avoid the upcoming subject, but now that Luke had you sat down at the table with him and you were half-way through your meal, there was nothing from stopping him from asking you.

"(Y/N), you know how I feel about you. Isn't it time you told me how you feel about me?" you'd only hung out with the kid for about two weeks, going to bars here and there and maybe spending the night at his place because you were drunk from time to time - how could he take it that you liked him for anything more than a good time?

Of course, the constant make out sessions and the teasing you did when you were tipsy probably helped with the misleading him, and it probably wasn't any better that you'd stripped nude in front of him because you 'felt comfortable enough around him', so he probably thought you were trying to get a little too close for comfort. You felt bad for leading him on this way; especially since Luke was such a nice guy and you were so in love with how sweet he was to you and how great he'd been over the past two weeks.

"Luke," you start out slowly as you lean back against the leather seat you were sat in.

"I can't bring myself to have..." you look over at him and see his face drop as he knows what you were preparing to say, but the words just kept coming out and you were forcing yourself to say what was needed to say.

"I can't have those types of feelings towards you because I've never been in a real relationship, and we're both so young. What's the point of being in a relationship to be tied down and controlled, you know?" you retort towards him, but Luke just scoffs and shakes his head.

"If you didn't like me that's all you had to say, (Y/N)," he spits out bitterly as he jumps up from his seat in front of you and hastily leaves the restaurant.

Ashton:
"You sounded great tonight," you smile as Ashton walks back from on stage. He smirks at you and nods his head up at you in acknowledgement, walking next to you while wrapping an arm around your shoulder to bring you closer to his side.

"Thanks, babe. We always do," he winks as you chuckle and pull yourself away from him, looking up at the sweaty mess that you'd found yourself being so attracted to over the past two months you'd been hanging out. No, you weren't officially dating yet and you were very curious (as were other people) as to why, but you decided not to question it or push it and you'd let

Ashton make the move to make the two of you an official thing. Maybe waiting this long is what had you on edge every time Ashton got around another girl. That's probably why you hated seeing him talking and getting close to his fans after concerts like he was doing now; his arm wrapped around their shoulders and his lips leaving kisses on them whenever and wherever they asked. You were jealous to say the least, but you weren't ready to admit that to yourself or anyone else, seeing as in how Ashton's ego and opinion over how he had you in the palm of his hand were big enough for the both of you already.

The fans were flirting, giggling and pushing his chest as if they knew him on a personal level. You wondered if they knew that the two of you'd had a fling going on for the past two months if they would still be that touchy and personal with him, but you decided to put the bitter thoughts and jealousy behind you so you could talk to Ashton when he came back over to you after they left. It was time to define your relationship, whether Ashton wanted to yet or not.
