11. Hell Yeah

Ashley's P.O.V.
After about a five-ish minute drive, and a stop at the gate, Ethan and I arrive at his house. Now may I be the first to say oh my god. His house is huge. It is three stories and has beautiful floor to ceiling glass windows with a large backyard and what looks to be a six to seven car garage.

I don't realize I'm staring until Ethan opens my door for me and leads me to the front door of the house. He quickly unlocks it and runs up to his room. Stopping briefly to yell, "I'll have to give you the tour some other time. Make yourself at home, you can watch Netflix if you want."

I figure that it will take about half an hour for him to get ready, so I take the time to look around the living room. I glance at the pictures on the walls and fireplace, sometimes chuckling at pictures of the twins and their sister as kids.

Smiling at the closeness of the family that lives here, I walk to the couch and turn on Jane the Virgin.

Ethan's P.O.V.
I hear the tv turn on as I'm changing my shirt and I look at the time on the alarm clock that's on my nightstand. 7:20.

So I decided on ripped black jeans, a black short-sleeved shirt, a white Nike jacket, and black Vans. I literally spent ten minutes trying to figure out what to wear because I don't want to look like crap standing next to Ashley. Though I probably still will, nothing can compete with how hot she looks tonight.

Semi-pleased with my choice of clothing, I jog to my bathroom and fix my unruly, brown hair. I run my fingers through it, comb it, put some product in it, comb it again, and sigh in frustration. It looks like a disaster.

I give up on my hair and stomp back into my room, heading straight for my closet full of every color of Vans imaginable and hats to match. I lay my eyes on a white snapback and throw it on.

I check the mirror one more time and decide that something's missing. I stare at myself for a couple second before realizing I need my black studs and a black ring to complete my outfit. Now just confident enough, I walk out of my room and down the stairs.

Ashley's P.O.V
I hear Ethan on the stairs and I quickly turn off the tv and start making my way over to him, my heart running a marathon against my will.

He reaches the bottom and all I can do is stare. Damn he looks good. No not good, fucking amazing. Damn he's so hot. Wait what? He's waiting for you to speak, stop staring like an idiot!

"Wow Dolan, you look almost as good as me. I would say I'm impressed, but you haven't earned that just yet."

"Not yet?"

"Nope."

"Now how do I earn it?"

"You'll see Dolan." I say with a wicked smile. I look at my phone and instead of smiling, I panic. "E we gotta go it's 7:40."

"Oh shit yeah we do. Let's get out of here." He replies and motions for me to lead the way out so he can lock the door behind me.

I start walking to his car in front of the house, but Ethan grabs my hand and gently pulls me in the direction of the garage. He hits a button on his keychain and the garage doors open slowly revealing a beautiful black Porche, a truck, a teal Bronco, and a couple of motorcycles. Holy crap.

"Ethan why aren't we taking your car?"

"Well Grayson took my white Jeep, so we are taking his Porche. Plus I thought it fit us perfectly." He says and leads me to the car, opening the door and jogging over to his side.

"You ready?"

"Hell yeah."

*Skip car ride (35 minutes)*

Ethan expertly parks Grayson's car a  couple feet from the house (because we are as Ethan calls it "fashionably late") and comes around my side to open my door for me, grabbing my hand to help me out.

"Thanks E."

"Anytime Ash." He says with a wink. Then he starts toward the very large house, where we can already hear the music blaring from. As we reach the door, Ethan goes to grab my hand.

"E, what are you doing?"

"This party is going to be packed. I'm not going to lose you in a crowd of probably drunk teenagers and couples shoving their tongues down each other's throats. So just take my hand Ashley." Ethan says with a mock seriousness.

"Fine Dolan." I say and allow Ethan to grab my hand this time.

We reach the door and Ethan knocks a couple times. A tan, dark-haired guy about our age opens the door with a bright smile plastered on his cute face.

"Grant! I was afraid you weren't gonna make it dude." He looks me up and down, then extends his hand to me for a handshake. "And with a beautiful girl nonetheless. And who might you be?"

I politely take his hand into mine, accepting the handshake. "My name is Ashley, nice to meet you...."

"Alex."

"Alex."

"Well stop standing out there, come on in guys. The alcohol is in the kitchen, and feel free to make yourself at home. But if you break something please tell me. And if you're going to sleep together please go in a room or leave my house."

I gasp and Ethan clenches his jaw.
"Alex!!!"

"I was just kidding E.. okay not really... but please come in and enjoy yourselves and I'll catch up with you guys later." Alex says laughing and opening up the door further.

Ethan goes in first, leading the way. He sees how crowded it is and moves his hand from mine to my waist, sending shivers through my body at the new contact.

"Sorry, I just don't need some random guy stealing you and taking you to some room. I signed up to keep you company, not to knock some drunk guy on his ass infront of everyone." Ethan yells to me (due to the loud music) at my reaction to his touch.

"It's fine Dolan" I say back.

"Yo E!!!" Ethan and I hear and turn in the direction of the voice.
