Promise Me? 5sos Ashton Irwin

Chapter Twenty

*Ariels POV*

Right as I hit send there was a knock on the door.

I sat up and made my way to the door, telling Bailey and Casey that I'll text them later. I opened the door and was suprised when I saw a very sad and nervous Ashton.

I moved to the side to let him in and closed the door.

"Hey um wh--" I started before he cut me off.

"Look do you and Louis have a thing going on or not" Said abruptly.

My cheeks went red and my eyes went wide and I sighed "No I don't list--" I sheepishly said before I was interuptted again.

"Then what was that at the cafe today" he said getting aggravated.

"Ashton if you let me speak I'll tell you" I said, raising my voice slightly. He nodded for me to go on, before taking a seat on the bed. "What you saw between me and Louis wasnt' even supposed to happen. Me and him haven't even talked since I first met him. That's why I was so suprised when he invitied me for coffee. When were saying goodbye I turned my head and then he just kissed me out of no where"

"So what did you tell him after that" he asked, sounding nervous.

"I told him that i... was.. erm... involved?" I stuttered.

He looked at me and gave me a confused look, and I couldn't help but put my head down when I felt a blush creeping on my cheeks.

"Involved?" He repeated.

"I didn't know how else to describe" I admitted.

All of a sudden I felt really nervous and kind of.... scared. I knew that he would be mad and we would eventually talk about it.... but I still wasn't sure of what to say. I don't know if I said the wrong thing, and judging by the look on his face, I'm pretty sure I did.

He looked... confused, hurt, anxious, and a little mad. I know that things between us has been really confusing and I don't quite know what to do about it. Maybe me and Ashton will just be friends after this. Maybe he doesn't believe me about what happened with Louis. I sighed as I began to play with my fingers, a nervous habit I picked up when I was little.

"Can I ask you a question" Ashton asked hesitantly.

"Sure" I replied, shifting my body on the bed, turning to look at him.

"Do you... like me?" He said quietly, looking down, to avoid my gaze.

My eyes widened and my cheeks turned red.

"Yea" I said, barely audible.

Right when I looked up I saw that he had a huge smile on his face. Before I could say anything he cupped my cheeks and smashed his lips to mine.

This kiss was different, it was gentle, passionate, but you could tell that there was hunger in it. I felt him smile into the kiss when I ran my fingers through his hair.

This is the first time we kissed, when we both were sober, and I moved every second of it. He slipped his tongue in my mouth, deepening the kiss, and I pulled gently on the hair in the nape of his neck, causing a small groan to escape his lips.

In one swift movement, he put his arm on my hips, gently lifting me on his lap, not breaking the kiss. I smiled as he pulled me closer. Without all the alcohol lingering on his breath, his kiss tasted sweet.

We finally broke away, both of us gasping for breathe, as he rested his forehead on mine .
We both we smiling, just stating into eachothers eyes. I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking, but I knew what I was.

I've waited for so long to kiss Ashton (when we both were sober) and I've had many dreams about it. But our kiss was better then any kiss we shared in my dream. The passion that we shared, the want for eachother.

"What are you thinking about" I whispered.

He smiled widely before whispering " I'm thinking that I want to replay that over and over"

I smiled before connecting our lips again. This kiss was softer, filled with even more want and passion, if that's even possible.

When we finally broke away Mikey barged through the door and said "were watching 'Mean Girls'. You have to wear pink"

Me and Ash laughed as he ran away into the other room.

"I guess we should change" Ash chuckled.

I nodded and grabbed a pink shirt from my suit case and went into the bathroom. I just happened to grab a pink crop too with long sleeves.

When me and Ashton walked into the room all the boys were sitting on the couch with pink shirts.

"No fair Ariels shirt is better then mine" Calum whined pointing at me.

"Boo you whore" Mikey screamed holding a "sobbing" Calum

"Do you want to switch shirts"I teased.

"Yes" Calum replied crossing his arms.

"Seriously" I questioned "this is a crop top"

"Yes I know let's switch" he grabbed my hand and dragged me to the bathroom in the other room.

He then ripped off his shirt and left me to change. I giggled and slid my crop top off, opening the bathroom door, and threw it Calum. I then put his shirt on and walked out.

I died laughing at the sight that I saw. CALUM HOOD was standing in the hotel room wearing my croptop.

We laughed and walked into the room and all the boys laughed. Then I looked at Ashton who looked... jealous.

I laughed as we both sat down and turned on Mean Girls.
