Ashton's POV
I inviter her into the house, so she is not standing outside the entire time.
"Ashton, I am so srry, I don't know what I was thinking. I obviously wasn't thinking, I'm so sorry." She says to me.
I laugh at her actions and she looks at me confused. "What?" She asks.
"You're cute when you rant." I say. She blushes and I open my arms for her embrace.
She runs over to me and hurries into my arms, like it'd be her last time hugging me ever.
Oh, how I've missed these hugs.
"Do you want a cup of tea, love?" I ask her while taking a step away from her. She nods and follows me into the kitchen. She picks up her favorite mug and her favorite tea, handing me both while she steps out of the kitchen into the living room.
I smile when I see her lay herself across the floor, picking a movie to watch from underneath the tv stand.
"Ash, is it okay if we watch a movie?" She asks as her feet sway in the air.
"Of course." I say while I walk out of the kitchen with her tea in hand. She smiles at me and thanks me.
"So what movie are we watching?"
"We are watching Safe Haven, if that is okay with you." She replies.
"It is, it is perfectly okay with me." I smile and kiss her head as she cuddles in closer to me.
She smells like her favorite perfume, Cashmere Glow from Bath and Body Works. How I know that, I don't even know, but I know it's her favorite. And my favorite.
"Lilah?" I say.
"Yes?"
"May I ask you why you decided to come back home?"
She nods, and proceeds to tell me what made her change her mind. "Luke had asked me if I still loved you before he left for the gig. I saw Ryann just before and she told me that you two were dating, and told me to step off so-"
"Wait," I stop her. "She told you we were dating?"
She nods.
I am so angry with Ryann at the moment. Two dates, we had gone on two fucking dates and she is going around telling people she is my girlfriend. Oh, she's gonna get it.
"Will you please excuse me, for just one second Lilah? I need to go make a phone call."
"Oh, of course. Don't be too long, Ash. Do you want me to pause the movie?" She asks.
"You don't have to do that, continue watching the movie, I'll be back within 2 minutes." I say and walk out of the living room into our bedroom.
I pick up the phone, dialing Ryann's number. She picks up after 3 rings.
"Oh, hi Ashy, wasn't expecting you to call this evening." She says in a good-mood-tone voice.
"Did you see Lilah today?" I demand.
"Who?"
"Lilah, you know, you met her at the club."
"Oh, that Lilah. Why, as a matter of fact, I did see Lilah today, she looked-"
"Did you tell her you were my girlfriend?" I cut her off.
"I'm sorry?" She questions.
"You heard me. Did you or did you not tell Lilah you were my girlfriend?"
"Something of the sorts did come up as we were talking today."
"Listen, you are not my girlfriend. We went on two dates, and yes we did talk about dating, but I did not ask you to be my girlfriend. I'm sorry Ryann, but I have gotten back together with Lilah, and there is a reason why we shouldn't see each other, and that reason is my relationship with Lilah."
"Well, then fine. But you are missing out on having me as a girlfriend."
"No, I'm really not." I say plainly.
She scoffs and hangs up the phone. Well that felt good.
I return to Lilah in the living room and she is curled up under the blankets on the couch.
"I'm back." I smile.
"Yes, you are. What was that about?" She asks.
"Uh, I had to call work about the next outdoor gig." I lie.
"Oh, okay." She replies and cuddles back up to me as we finish the movie.
During the movie, I steal quick glances at her. God, she is beautiful. I've missed her more than anything. I'm so glad she's mine.
The movie ends and she gets up off the couch to stretch.
"That was a good movie. We should watch it more often." She says.
"We should." I reply.
"Hey, do you mind if I borrow a pair of your boxers and a tee shirt to wear to bed tonight? I left all my stuff at Luke's."
"Yeah, go get changed, I'm gonna clean up in here." She nods and heads into the bedroom.
I fold the balnkets and put them on the arm of the couch and just sit back on the couch, thinking how much I love Lilah.
I smile and get up to go into the bedroom, where I find Lilah on our bed, already fast asleep.
I slip out of my jeans and take off my shirt so I'm only in my boxers. I slip under the covers next to Lilah and kiss her cheek.
She's finally mine again.
