I drive down the street back to our house. My hand is in Lilah's the entire way there, she sat there grinning, not saying a word until we got home. I parked the car and we jogged into our house. She closes the door and I pin her to the door and begin kissing her passionately.
I kiss down her neck and back up to her lips, reaching behind her to unzip her dress.
"Bedroom... Now..." She says in between kisses.
I hum in agreement and she takes my hand leading me to our room.
~~~
I begin to wake up when the sunlight hits my face, making my face feel warm. I stretch my arms and Lilah begins to wake as well.
She yawns and her head falls on my chest again. I laugh and ask, "Still tired from last night?"
She blushes and nods. I wrap my arms around her and start to hum Lost Boy.
"You know Lilah, without you, I'd be a lost boy." I whisper.
"And without you, I'd be a lost girl." She whispers back.
I smile to myself and let my head rest on my pillow.
"So what do you want to do today, Ash?" Lilah asks me.
"Well, today I have another gig, so you can come if you want. Then tonight if you want we could go out or something."
"Yeah, let's go to the club again."
"Wow Lilah, you love that club, don't you?" I laugh.
"Well, I've made a lot of good memories there. That's where I met you and instantly fell in love."
I feel a blush creep upon my cheeks and I just smile and kiss her forehead.
I get up to make myself a cup of coffee and Lilah as well. She comes in, walks to me, and wraps her arms around my torso, her head resting on my back.
"I love you, Ashton Fletcher Irwin." She says against my back.
"And I love you, Lilah Marie Williams." I smile.
She kisses my back and walks into the living room. She lies on the couch with closed eyes while she waits for her coffee.
I walk into the living room and over to her. I kiss her lips as she opens her eyes.
"Coffee for my one and only." I say.
She smiles as she takes a sip of her coffee.
"What time is your gig?" She asks while setting down her coffee.
"Uh, noon, I think."
"We better start getting ready, it's already 11."
"Wait, so you're coming?" I ask excitedly.
She nods with a grin on her face. I get up and kiss her while spinning her around.
"I can't wait for you to see all the fans that come to see our acoustic gigs." I smile.
"Fans?" She frowns.
"What's wrong?"
"You know the fans don't approve of us."
"Fuck what they think. I love you." I kiss her temple.
"Come on, let's go get ready to go." I take her hand in mine and lead her to the bedroom to get changed.
I throw on my black skinny jeans, gray shirt, and red bandana. While Lilah puts on a gray Linkin Park shirt, black jeans, and my gray beanie.
We head to the gig and as we arrive, there are already tons of fans.
"Don't be scared, they're just fans." I say and kiss her cheek.
I get out and head to the stage and Lilah follows behind.
"Hey Lilah." The boys say in unison.
She waves to them and stays off to the side of the stage where no one can see her.
I frown and look back at the boys.
"So what songs are we performing?" I ask.
"Well management is only allowing us to perform 5 songs," Michael starts. "We were thinking Don't Stop, She Looks So Perfect, -"
"I wanna sing Mrs All American." I cut Michael off.
"But we haven't rehearsed that," Luke says.
"I still wanna sing it."
"Okay, we can sing it. And the other 2 songs we are singing are If You Don't Know and Rejects." Calum finishes.
I nod as we take the stage about to perform.
"Hey what's up, we're 5 Seconds of Summer. We're going to be doing She Looks So Perfect." Calum says.
I can't help but think of Lilah during this song, how she always looks so perfect everyday, even without her trying.
The song finishes and it's my turn to announce the song.
"So, hey guys, I'm Ash. You probably already know that. But anyways, this next song is called Mrs All American and I dedicate it to my girlfriend Lilah. She's right over-" I look for and end up getting up off my drum and dragging her on stage. "Right here, if you didn't know, she's American so. Yeah. Hope you guys like it."
"Stay here with us on stage next to me, please?" I whisper in her ear.
She nods and sits next to me.
We play the song and she smiles at me the entire time.
By the time we finish the gig it's about 1:30 because we did so much talking during this gig for some unknown reason.
"Ash, can we talk to you for a sec?" Calum asks.
"Yeah, what's up?" I ask.
"Well, we were just talking to management and they said that we will be going on tour in a few days for about 3 months." Luke says.
My heart drops. A few days? Three months?
"Oh, okay." I say and wave good bye to the boys.
Lilah and i get into the car and head home. She notices that my attitude is different from earlier and tries to ask me multiple times what's wrong, but I refuse to answer her. I can't tell her that I am going on tour for 3 months quite yet.
We get home and I decide to sleep on what Luke told me before I left. I sleep until Lilah wakes me up to go to the club at 6.
So I hope you enjoyed this chapter! It is quite long, and so will the next one!
QOTD: When do you think Ashton will tell Lilah?
