Promise Me? 5sos Ashton Irwin

Chapter Seventeen

*Ariels POV*

It has been a week since my date with Ashton. We haven't talked about it yet, but I can tell its on his mind. They've had a few shows and some interviews since then and we just arrived in Texas, which was their next stop on the tour.

If I'm being completely honest it bothers me that me and Ashton haven't talked about it yet. It's like it never happened really, we all have just been hanging out and laughing with each other.

Each time he smiled I couldn't help but look at him, because even when his heads hung back in laughter, with crinkles near his eyes, he's still the most handsome guy to me.

My crush on him has grown and it's almost been a month since I've been on tour with them. I honestly don't know what to do about it either. I guess I've just been waiting for him to come to me, but that hasn't happened yet.

"Hey Ariel you coming" Calum said, as him Mikey and Luke were about to walk out the door.

"Coming where" I asked as I pushed the thoughts out of my head.

"Well we're going out for lunch" Luke replied as he put on his shoes.

"No I think I'm just going to stay here, have fun though" I said as I waved to them and pulled out my phone.

They nodded and walked out the door, talking about their next show. Not only was I not hungry, but this gave me an oppurinity to talk to Ash alone.

Things haven't been awkward between us, but you can there are things that we both want to say to eachother.

I sighed as I got off of my bed in the hotel room. There were 3 hotel rooms this time, Mikey and Calum in one, Ash in one, and me in the other one.

I walked over to the door that connected to Ashtons hotel room. I knocked and waited for a response.

"Come in" he said and I opened the door and walked into his hotel room.

"Hey" I said as I took a seat at the edge of his bed.

"Do you think we should talk" I asked cautiously.

"About what exactly" he questioned as he sat up and put his phone on the counter.

He had a look of confusion plastered on his face as I racked my brain trying to figure out how to start this conversation.

"Well... erm.. we haven't really talked about the... date" I shyly said.

Suddenly I was getting nervous and I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks as I looked down.

So many thoughts raced through my mind maybe we haven't talked about it because he regrets it. Maybe he changed his mind and decided that he no longer likes me.

My thoughts were interrupted when Ashton scooted closer to me and put his hand on my shoulder in reassurance.

"Well we've been busy so there hasn't really been a time for me to talk to you yet" he states confidentially, obviously seeing that I'm nervous "and also I didn't really know if you would want to talk about it"

I nodded and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear before mumbling "Well do you want to talk about it"

"I do actually" he said scooting closer to me and I moved so that we were facing eachother.

"Look... Ariel I really like you and I know that we haven't really known eachother for that long but I do. I understand if you don't feel the same" he said, quietly at the last part.

"I do" I blurted out before my mind could process what I wanted to say.

He chuckled as my cheeks burned up. I hung my head down and started nervously playing with my fingers.
