Promise Me? 5sos Ashton Irwin

Chapter Twelve

*Ashtons POV*

I woke up to Ariels arms around me. I carefully got up and walked into the other hotel room.

Memories from last night flooded my brain as I sat down on the couch. I don't know if Ariel is even going to remember anything from last night. I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration.

"Hey Ashton we have a show tonight in case you forgot" Calum said as he stepped out of the bathroom.

I nodded as I got uo and got a water bottle from the fridge.

"Hey Ash you all right" Mikey asked clearly picking up on the fact that I was worried about what happened last night.

"Yea just something happened last night and I don't know what to do about it" I admitted.

"Well what happened mate a might be able to help you" Luke said.

I sat down as I explained to everyone what happened, starting with  the whole park conversation me and Ariel had. When I got to the last part the boys were looking at eachother trying to figure out what to say.

After 5 minutes Mikey decided to try and break the uncomfortable silence." Well what are you going to do about it" he questioned.

"That's the thing I don't know what to do about it" I said as I started fumbling with my fingers.

"Well maybe you should talk to her when she actually wakes up" Luke suggested.

"Yea I mean you should know how she feels about it before you worry about what your going to do about it. These kind of things are a two people desicion not just one person." Calum added.

"Yea you guys are right....... I'll just wait until she wakes up to talk to her about it. I'm just worried she'll just say it was because she was just drunk and it didn't mean anything" I admitted while running my fingers through my hair.

Michael sighed "Ariel isn't that kind of person. Even if down the road she realises that she doesn't like you like that she won't let that affect your guy's friendship".

I guess he was right. Ariels a really caring person that's one of the many reasons I like her. Even if we try a relationship and it doesn't work out, she'll still be a good friend. She wouldn't let something like that effect a friendship.

"Yea... you guys are right. I'll just talk to her and see how things go" I said while taking a sip of my water.

"Is Ariel coming to the concert tonight" Luke said trying to change the topic.

"She said she was" Ashton said.

"Come one you guys know I wouldn't miss it" Ariels voice came from the doorway.

"Besides what would I do here alone by myself anyway" she said while sitting on the couch next to me.

The boys laughed and started having their own conversations.

"I need to talk to you" Ariel whispered into my ear trying not to let the boys hear.

I nodded and gave her a smile. I knew exactly what the talk was about and I was getting more nervous by the second.

"So what do you guys want to do until the concert" Ashton asked.

"Um... how about a movie marathon" Ariel said as her eyes lit up.

The other boys nodded their heads in agreement. They started discussing movies and I took this as a opportunity to talk to Ariel.

"Hey we'll join you guys in a minute" I said as I grabbed Ariels hand and shot the boys a look. They nodded and Luke mouthed 'good luck'.

I dragged her into the room and shut the door behind us.

"About last nig--" I interuptted her as I smashed my lips into hers.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled on my hair. I picked her up and she instantly wrapped her legs around my waist. I sat down on the bed as she slipped her tongue into my mouth.

After a few moments of us making out we both pulled away. She blushed as she looked down and started fiddling with her fingers nervously.

Both of us sat there not knowing what to say or do. I looked up as she did the same and our eyes locked. We both sat there staring into eachothers eyes until I decided to break the silence.

"What were you going to say about last night" I questioned.

She looked down still playing with her fingers as she spoke "I was going to ask how you felt about the whole situation" she admitted.

I looked down as I tried to word what I wanted to say. I didn't want to flat out say that I liked her because of the talk that we had at the park.

"Well.... I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel something towards you" I started. "I know that we talked and agreed on waiting until we got to know eachother. But I can't deny that I all ready like you".

She sighed as her cheeks became red and she stopped playing with her fingers. She looked into my eyes and gave me a small smile.

"Look... I think I like you to. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel anything whenever we kissed or whenever you compliment me. I still do think we should get to know eachother better. There's still alot of things you don't know about me and I bet there's alot of things I don't know about you" she said as she resumed playing with her fingers.

At that point I got really curiousof what she mean by 'theres alot of things you don't know about me'. I mean I all ready knew that obviously there were things I didn't know about her but I didn't like the way she said it. She said it like she was scared of telling me about her.

I lifted her head and looked into her eyes. "And when that time comes for when you decided to tell me about you and your past, just know you can tell me anything. I won't judge you and I won't stop liking you because of what happened in your past. I don't want you to tell me until your ready" I told her honestly.

"Thanks Ash" she said as she gave me a hug.

"We should go start that movie marathon now" I said as we pulled away from the hug.

She nodded as we got up and walked into the other room. As soon as we walked in the boys sent me a questioning look and I mouthed I'll tell you guys later. They nodded as me and Ariel made our way into the couch.

"Ok so what movies do you guys want to watch" Calum asked looking in me and Ariels direction.

"Lets have a Disney movie marathon" Ariel said excitedly.

"That's just because your named after one" Mikey said shoving Ariel playfully.

"Lets watch the lion king first" Calum said excitedly.

"Awe but I always cry when Mufasa dies" Ariel whined.

"Me too" Luke said as he pouted his lips.

"Well be crying buddys!" Ariel said as she and Luke sat closer together.

---------

We were now to the part where Mufasa dies and Ariel was crying. Luke was sitting on one side of Ariel and I was on the other. I put my hand on Ariels hand to comfort her and she intertwined her fingers with mine. I smiled as I looked down at her. She was crying with the blanket up to her face.

2 movies later and Ariels and I fingers were still intertwined and she had fell asleep with her head on my shoulder.

"You know we're going to have to wake her up for the concert" Luke whispered.

"Yea I know just let her sleep for a little while" I said as I pulled the blanket over her.
