Chapter Sixty Four

Becca's POV

A day later, Luke tells me he is going to go hang out with his family because he hasn't done that in a while. He wanted me to go with him, most likely because of what happened the last time he left, but I declined and let him spend some quality time with his family. His biological family, anyway.

So I called up Ashton and Michael and asked if they could come and hang out. They both gladly agreed and rushed on over.

For the first three hours that they were here (12:00-2:00), we played lots of games and just talked and ate junk food. But Mike left at around 2:45 because he wanted to go back to Julie, which Ash and I were perfectly fine with.

"What do you want to do?" I ask when I hear the front door slam shut.

Ashton sighs, "I dunno." I nod and lean against the headboard of the big blue bed we are settled on.

After an uncomfortable moment of Ashton staring at me, causing me to become very self conscious of the way I look, I raise my brows at him. "What are you staring at me for?"

"Just admiring the fact that my best mate is very beautiful," He says with a sheepish smile on his lips.

"Thanks," I smile back. But Ashton keeps staring.

"I get that I really did love Lily, but I am moving on from her in a gradual process. You helped me get through her, so thank you for that," He says. I nod in response. "You truly are a pretty person, Becca. You're incredibly funny, super nice, and you've become an important role in my life," He says in a slow, robotic voice. I knit my brows together, what is he getting at? Why is he being so friendly all of a sudden? So complimentary to my features? "And I've come to realize, that I need you."

"What?!" I ask, sitting bolt upright and gaping at Ash with wide eyes. He grabs my hands and stares back into my blue eyes with his green orb-like ones. He caresses the back of my hand with his thumb. "Ashton, what do you mean, 'you need me'? I'm married!"

"I know, Becca. I know that you're married, and it's probably why I broke down so much when I got home the other day after I told you and Luke that Lily dumped me. I was devastated on both sides; That she cut us off and that you are married. I realize that I cannot have you the way I had her. The way Luke has you," Ashton goes on. I shake my head in confusion and get off of the bed, standing at Ashton's side though as he stands up as well.

I stare up at him, silently and full of confusion. What the hell has gotten into him? Why is he so needy of me right now? What in the world has possessed him to think he wants a hideous girl like me?!

I stumble backwards as Ashton bends down and presses his lips to mine. It doesn't feel the same, the tips of my fingers do not tingle with warmth and bubbly feelings do not shoot throughout my being. when he kisses me. I do not feel the sparks fire inside me, and I definitely did not like what he just did. My eyes widen and I push on his chest to get him off of me.

"Ash. What. Are. You. Doing?" I ask, finally able to shove him backwards. Not hard enough to make him fall or anything, just enough to get him back to his normal height.

"I told you, Bec. I need you," He says, cupping my face in his hands and kissing me again. My mouth falls open in anger and I shove hard on his chest to get him away from me one last time but I failed.

"Get the f*ck off of me!" I try shouting but Ash doesn't remove his lips from mine.

"Babe?" Another voice calls from downstairs after I hear the front door open. "What's the matter?" Luke asks. The sound of his footsteps on the stairs is audible now but Ashton doesn't move a muscle.
