The Unexpected (Ashton Irwin Fanfiction)

Chapter 5

"Hey, your order please?" I asked a man around his 40s. He was wearing a blue checkered shirt with blue washed 3/4 jeans.

I already started my work on my third day, taking my 30th order within two hours.

"Oh yes! Hmm.. Caramel Mocha, Grande. No whip cream please. " The main replied, handing me his cash.

"Thank you sir, you may wait there." I pointed at the pick up bar, adjusting my green starbucks apron. 

"Hey  Bethany. Nice seeing you again."

I rapidly placed my fingers down from my apron and looked up, my eye catching Ashton's pair of brown eyes.

"Hey Ash." I greeted. " and your order?"

"Hmm.. New York Cheese Cake and erm, Chocolate Chip cream, Venti ofcourse!" He chuckled down at me.

"Sure!" I grinned as I took down his order.

I picked up the cheese cake and placed it on a white plate, handing it to him.

"Here ya go. Collect your drink at the check point!" I stated and greeted my next customer.

"Thank you!" He winked.

Ashton sat down at one of the tables and faced me. I looked at him a couple of times, catching him taking glimpses of me.

I smirked at him and he blushed.

Wait what?! Blushed? What was I thinking. It must be the heat of the place that caused his cheeks to turn red.

After taking a couple more orders, I was exhausted. It was already 5pm and Ashton had left long ago. He had waved bye to me before exiting.

I decided to order myself coffee since I was very sleepy.

I ordered my all time favourite, Chocolate chip cream.

I took sips of it each time I took one of the customers orders.

It was finally 5.55 and I decided that I should walk back home since they were not any customers here. But I could not because the next person in shift have not arrived yet.

I waited patiently for a couple of minutes and saw the person next shift entering the counter.

"Hey there, Mellany!" I smiled.

"Hey Beth. See ya. Bye!" She waved.

I made my way out of starbucks, walking back home.

I strolled down the streets, watching the trees sway side by side and looking at cute couples walking pass me or sitting on benches making out.

At the corner of my eye, I saw a couple making out. I turned and realised that I knew that person. He seemed very familiar.  So did she.

I looked deeper, hoping to be able to see under such dim lighting.

And then it hit me like a wave.

It was Ashton and Kristy. That's right. Them.

I stood on the ground, appalled at what I saw. I don't know why but I felt... betrayed?

I mean the way Ashton acted towards me was like he liked me or something? But obviously he's been only flirting with me and trying to get my attention.

I stomped off at that thought and stalked to my house.

I slammed by room door shut and jumped into bed.

Why was I acting so pathetic?  He wasn't my boyfriend anyway. Justin is. I shouldn't care about what happened just now.

Thinking deeper and deeper, I decided to sleep, ignoring the screams of my mum, asking me to have dinner.
