Effy's POV

On the way to starbucks, he complimented my now stained t-shirt and told me that he also liked nirvana, we talked about random things until we got to starbucks.

I ordered my tea AGAIN, but this time i didn't pay for it because he wouldn't let me. We sat down outside as we waited for it, there was a very long and awkward silence until Ashton said " I'm  sorry about your shirt , seriously I need to buy you a new one at least for now because if I was you I'd feel uncomfortable with a red stain in my shirt..." he started rambling ,so I interrupt his rambling by saying "Ashton seriously for the millionth time, it's fine I don'-"

He stood up and took his shirt off and came closer to me "I know it bothers you, here, take my shirt" he said as he handed it to me and i just stared at him, I didn't really expect something like this to happen, until i said " it's your shirt, besides I don't feel that uncomfortable.." "But you do feel a little bit so here ,wear it. And if it makes you feel better, I have another one in my trunk. I ruined your new shirt so you get to keep mine, it's fair enough." he said as he held it closer to me  Why did he have to be so nice? "Fine, but I'll have to give it back to you someday." I tell him in a shy tone, why did I say that? ugh i'm so stupid, that must have sounded so clingy.

I turn around and take off my shirt quickly since i don't want him to see me and pull his shirt over my petite body. The shirt fits me like a dress since the height difference is pretty big, i hear a small giggle and turn around to find ashton laughing with his already mentioned award-winning smile and now noticible dimples to be honest, he looks cute as fuck. I just look at him with a what-now-look "it's just funny how it fits you like a dress!" he says and giggles again. "Wow, no shit sherlock!" I say as I let out a small laugh. Suddenly, the lady in the counter calls my name so I can pick up my tea, so I walk over there and pick it up and thank her. 

When I am ready to leave and say goodbye to Ashton, he says " Are you busy like.. now? do you have something to do or..." as he looks to his feet , "No I have nothing to do, why? "Well I was thinking that maybe we could... umm...go to like you know, get... lunch?" Ashton says in a shy tone "Sure, where would you like to go to?" I say trying not to sound as awkward as I can "Well, I know this small italian place, but I do need to go for that shirt I mentioned in my trunk, but my car is parked here, so I won't take long I promise, but only if you want to go I mean we can go somewhere closer if y-."  "Stop rambling! Ashton it's fine, i want to go there"I say as I laugh a little. I wonder why is he being so nice to me and a little..flirty?.. it's weird because boys don't really talk to me because I guess I am, well... me.

We walked about 2 mintues until we got to his car. "So the italian restaurant is a little far if we go walking, so I was wondering if you would like to go there driving, I mean if you don't want to we can go somwhere closer, or I could give you a ride home." he says as he opens the trunk of his car and pulls out the t-shirt. I can't understand how someone so bad ass looking like Ashton would get like this around me , he seemed.... nervous? I don't really think he actually is, because girls must fall for him all the time. Or maybe he is like this with every girl? he probably is, but  couldn't really turn him down now could I? "Effy, .. you okay?" he says with a small laugh as I realize that I zoned out. Goddammit Effy. "Yeah, i'm.... fine." I say  "Okay, soo.. wanna go?" he says "Yeah, yeah I do".

It didn't really take long to get to the italian restaurant, the ride there was a little quiet but not in an uncomfortable way , but we did talk about a few stuff every few minutes. As I reached for the handle to get out of the car Ashton said "No no no no wait there, don't move." I gave him a questioning look  and he got out of the car and reached my door. He opened it for me and I felt myself blushing, again. Why am i blushing? Boys are like this all the time, not that I'd know much about it since my experience with boys is very limited  "Thanks." I tell him with a smile, before I actually say what I'm thinking.

We walk to the restaurant which looks really nice, it has lots of flowers in the entrance and tea tables , it seriously looks as if it was "Alice in Wonderland" themed. We decide to sit outside on the tea tables "So tell me Effy, what are you doing here in L.A?" he asks, his question caught me off guard so I awkwardly answer "Well... my dad was a movie producer and ... my mom works making castings for actors.. so  I guess that's it.." I say, trying not to mention my dad too much, he smiles and nods. So to change the subject I quickly  say " So what are you doing here in L.A?"  "Well, me and my band just got signed soo we came here to see what happens." he says with his beautiful smile with his stupid dimples.... Whooa Eff, stop yourself right there you know how he must be with girls, you are just another one, he probably doesn't even like you and feels sorry about for you, or maybe not.. of course you are... or maybe it could be different this time... whatever.

"Wow, that's amazing!" i say trying to forget about my mental breakdown. "Yeah, it is, we started on youtube about a year ago and now they want to sign us!" he says as he smiles "well congratulations! by the way, what is your band called?" i ask him . 

"It's called 5 seconds of summer." Ashton says as he smiles again.
