→Ashton

"Elaina!" Ashton called through the apartment. He had just arrived to pick her up. Michael and Calum wanted to meet at six at Dante's pizzeria. Arriving at five-forty-five was safer: Ashton, Luke, and Elaina could get a table and order pizza and by Calum and Michael arrive, the food will be ready.

Ashton leaned on the doorjamb and watched her for a minute. She folded meticulously, organizing a pile of clothes for Saturday and Sunday. Ashton noticed that, neatly folded on top of the pajama pile, rested his faded Rolling Stone's shirt she had "borrowed" about a week ago. The last thing he cared about had to be her giving it back, because she looked a thousand times better in it than he did.

Elaina slightly jumped as Ashton snaked his arms around her torso and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Babe," he whisper. "it's time to leave."

Noticing the goosebumps on her arms (and enjoying it completely), Ashton kissed the spot where her jaw met her neck. She leaned into his touch and shivered.

"Babe?" she whispered. "Babe." he confirmed, kissing the same spot and pulling away. Obviously flustered, she began packing her things and Ashton watched with amusement.

Ashton made sure to kiss her well - as it would likely be the only time he would get to this weekend - and carried the bags to his car.

The drive went by much too quickly. Ashton quite enjoyed Elaina's fingers laced with his own and resting in her lap.

Only three empty parking spots were available in the lot: one in the back and two near the middle. Ashton pulled into a spot almost directly in the middle.

"Now don't be alarmed, but the boys can be a bit of a handful." Ashton muses. He lifts Elaina's trembling hand to his lips and presses a kiss to the middle of the soft skin on the back of her hand.

The hostess had platinum blonde hair - obviously died - and the most annoying, nasaly voice. Every time she would flirt with Ashton, his arm would wrap tighter around Elaina's waist. Elaina didn't talk the entire time.

"So what are you going to or-" Ashton was cut off mid-sentence as Michael tackled him from behind, nearly breaking the backrest off of the chair.

"Ashy!" Calum cheered from behind Michael. Ashton quickly recovered from Michael's attack and punched Calum's arm. "Dick."

"Where's Lucas?" Michael asked. He helped himself to a breadstick from the complimentary basket. "He'll be here after work," Ashton replied and placed his hand on Elaina's thigh. She jumped a little, so Ashton retracted his hand.

"Sorry, I just..." she took Ashton's wrist in her hand and placed his hand back in the spot. He gave her an apologetic smile and she just shook her head. "Not used to the gestures." she admitted.

After ordering their food, Calum finally acknowledged Elaina's presence.

"Oh my god, Ash, you finally tricked a girl into dating you!" he teased. Ashton chuckled and shook his head. "This is Elaina, and yes, she is real and not a hologram." Ashton played along. Elaina smiled and leaned into Ashton a little more.

"How did you convince a beautiful girl like that to date you?" Michael winked in Elaina's direction.

"Well, I really did have to convince her, but it was worth all of the persuading." when Ashton's eyes met Elaina's, her eyes were alight and her smile bright and beautiful.

Elaina truly had the most beautiful smile, and Ashton loved everything about her.

so I don't really think anybody reads this story (if you do you don't comment or vote you lil shits) so I will probably discontinue this story soon. I don't have any motivation to write and virtually no support so sorry for this.

Oh and it's Calum's birthday I'm sad ok bye
