While reading this chapter
————————————————————————After three-ish hours, the sound of my door bell shakes me out of my book. Damnit Ashton, of course you had to arrive right when I was getting to the good part in my book. I groan and trudge downstairs to the door. I open the door to Ashton's familiar eyes and smile.
"Welcome to mi casa." I say as I open the door wider, inviting him in. He sends a smile to my mother, whom is sitting at the kitchen table working on paperwork for her job, probably.
"Good evening, Mrs Kennedy." He says and I widen my eyes. Never knew he could be so polite.
"Oh please dear," Mom chuckles, "Just call me Sarah."
"Alright, Sarah." Ashton smiles once more. I roll my eyes at him before walking up the stairs and into my bedroom. As expected, he followed.
"Did I ever tell you that you have a cute room?" Ashton smirks and I widen my eyes, remembering that I have quotes framed onto my wall and old pictures I drew when I was only wee big.
"Oh shut up, I live for these quotes." I wave my hand around my room. Ashton walks up to one and reads it out loud.
"I do not desire mediocre love, I want to drown in someone."
"Yep." I rock on my heels.
"That's one of my favorite quotes actually. It's really expressive and it's only a few words." I smile as I stare at the aesthetically framed quote on my wall. I look up at Ashton and his gaze is intense.
"Taylor," His voice catches my full attention.
"Yeah?"
"Have you ever fallen in love?"
I think about his question, reminding me about the talk I had with mom earlier.
"Fallen in love? Nah." I bite my lower lip. His eyes fall to the ground and curiosity threatens to push me to the edge.
"Have you?" I ask and take a seat onto my bed. He sits next to me. Ashton's face looks intensely serious, and I can't help but wonder what's going through his head right now.
"Most definitely." He says firmly. Something inside me cracks a little. I don't have a damn clue why, but hearing him say he's fallen in love with another girl hurts. Bad. I feel my cheeks heat up, threatening to be submerged in tears if I'm not careful.
"Oh?" I try to say but it comes out as more of a question then a statement. Ashton finally looks into my eyes.
"I am falling in love with someone." He swallows hard. Remember taylor, curiosity killed the dog.
"Well that's good." I try to act like none of this is bothering me. I knew I shouldn't of let myself feel things for him.
"Well anyways, it was your idea to come over, so what do you want to do?" I reposition myself on my bed.
"Not sur-." Ashton's voice is cut off by his phone ringing in his pocket. He retreats the phone and I sneak a quick glance at his screen.
"Emma wants to FaceTime you..."
My heart sinks a little more.
Ashton glances at me, I shake my head letting him know that it's okay for him to answer the FaceTime.
He answers the call and a girl with loose blonde curls and dark blue eyes is on the other end. It's Emma... Rumor around school says that Emma is Ashton's girlfriend. I totally forgot that they were dating, seeming that he never really speaks about her or hangs out with her.
