I'll Take Care Of You

Chapter 7

            BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!  I rolled over and turned off the annoying sound of my alarm. Ugh. Mondays: one of the worst days of the week. A day that meant the weekend was officially over, and it was time for school.

            I sat up in bed and looked around sleepily, like I always do in the mornings. After a giant yawn I reached to get my phone off my bed side dresser. I pushed the middle button -since it was an iPhone- and saw I had a text from Ash.

            "CRAP!" I whispered to myself. He was supposed to text me last night, but I fell asleep waiting. I quickly texted him back an apology.

            OMG! I'm soooo sorry I didn't text back last night! I fell asleep.

Less than a minute later he replied back.

            It's ok:) I figured. It was a long day so no worries. - He told me.

            Ok, well I am going to get ready for school. See yah there!:)-I texted back.

            WAIT! How about I just pick you up?-My heart fluttered at his response.

            Yah. Ok:)-I said back.

            K. Be there in 20 minutes!:))- He replied.

            Ok:) - I texted back quickly.

            I jumped out of bed, rushing to get ready since I usually have half an hour to get ready. I looked at the clock and saw it was only 7:00. School didn't start until 9. Why was he rushing me?

            I put on the white flats that I wore Friday then looked at myself in the body-length mirror that I had on the back of my closet door. Wearing a blue cami, black skinny jeans, and the flats, I was ready to go. I ran my fingers though my straightened hair, made sure I brushed my teeth -which I did-, grabbed my phone, then headed downstairs. I decided to pop a minty piece of gum in my mouth, just in case.

            I opened the door to my mom's room to find her still asleep. I kissed her on the forehead just as I heard the sound of a car horn outside the window. I quietly shut the door, grabbed my backpack, then left; locking the door behind me. I turned around to find Ashton already standing by the passenger's side of the car with the door open for me. I smiled at him, and in return I got a breathtaking smile back. It's already been almost a week since we started going out, and I still got the nervous, glowing feeling when I was around him.

            "Good morning beautiful." He greeted me as I got closer.

            "Good morning." I replied, looking up at him with a smile.

            I was standing in front of him now. His hazel eyes shining in the sunlight were so beautiful. He leaned down over the car door and kissed me softly on the lips.
