Ashton spent the rest of the day with me just talking and cuddling and joking around. My mom still has to work on the weekends so we had the whole house to ourselves. I was playing around on Luke's guitar while Ashton was looking through my various nail polishes when my mom came home.
"Veronica are you home" She says as she opened my door. Her eyes widen and she glances over at Ashton and back at me. I look over at Ashton and he is frozen in his place on my bed.
"Veronica who is this?"
"Ashton. My.. Friend." I say. His head snaps over in my direction as soon as I say friend. I wasn't going to tell my mom we were full on making out almost all day and he wasn't technically my boyfriend.
"Just.. Be safe." She says shaking her head and walking out closing the door behind her. As soon as she leaves Ashton starts laughing.
"What?" I laugh back.
"Nothing it was just so awkward." He takes out a black nail polish.
"It's pity." He looks at me confused. "Ever since Luke died she's let me get away with everything as if she got mad at me I would die too." He doesn't reply just unscrews the nail polish. He takes the brush and starts painting on his ring finger. Once he's done with that finger nail he starts blowing to quickly dry it and puts the nail polish back where it originally was. I clear my throat, slightly chuckling at his actions.
"I like it." He shrugs and takes the guitar out of my lap and lays it against the wall. He jumps into my bed pushing me back onto the pillows. He hovers over me before lightly placing his lips on mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and the kiss soon starts getting more heated. I'm about to take off his shirt when he pulls away out of breath.
"I should go." He says and I nod in response. He pecks me on the lips again before starting for the door.
"I uh I.. I'll see you later." He stutters and laughs, disappearing from my room. I flop back on my bed sighing. I've never felt this way for someone and we've only just kissed today. But I still had this nagging feeling that Luke would be beyond mad at me if he was here right now. It's been better at home now that my dad left and my mom has basically left me alone. Although I've been mainly avoiding her. I know Luke dying has taken a toll on her but she never did anything when we were beaten. Sometimes I blame her for Luke's death and sometimes I blame myself. But ever since Ashton has came into my life I haven't blamed anyone, I haven't even thought about Luke and the sad parts of him dying. Ashton and I would share funny memories we had with him if we were to bring him up. But we mainly talked about ourselves and stupid little things that don't matter. Ashton was a perfect distraction from all the shit in my life. But now that I truly think about it, it really scares me that Luke is already drifting away from everyone's mind. When he is last person that deserves to be forgotten.
So I've decided this is going to be a shorter book most definitely. I might be able to get this done in 20 chapters or less so yay! Okie. I'll update soon. Smile!
