Promise Me? 5sos Ashton Irwin

Chapter twenty-six

*Ashtons POV*

I opened my eyes and memories from last night immediately flooded my brain.

Shit.

When I first started dancing with that girl it was just friendly. But then, she started getting closer overtime, and the alchol ended up taking over. Then one thing led to another and we ended up making out. When she whispered in my ear and asked to go outside I said yes. We made out more but then pictures of Ariel's face flooded through my brain, and I stopped kissing her. She asked me what's wrong and I told her briefly about Ariel. We then just started talking and then Mikey and Ariel came out.

Ariel was drunk, but the look in her eyes, she looked so sad. I didn't even know that she had saw me and that girl. I wasn't going to hide it from her, but that doesn't mean I wanted her to see it happen. I didn't even see Ariel and Michael kissing or anything. When he told me that they kissed, it hurt me, but I understood why and how it happened.

After me and Michael talked, I decided to go home to decide what I was going to say to Ariel. I had a whole speech ready, but then she came stumbling in the room, that was the drunkest I've ever seen her, and even though I was disappointed, I couldn't help but laugh at her behavoir.

My thoughts were interrupted as I felt someone shift in my arms and I realised that I was still cuddling with Ariel. I smiled at her sleeping self, she looked so beautiful and peaceful, even though her makeup from last night was smeared. I don't even know why she wears makeup, she's beautiful enough without it. I smiled as I carressed her cheek with my large hand. Her eyes fluttered open and she gave me a warm smile.

*Ariels POV*

"Morning" I said, looking up at Ashton

"Morning princess" he responded, kissing my forehead.

I felt my face grow hot and my face turned pink at his cute gesture.

"Your cute when you blush" he whispered in my ear, his attractive morning voice still apparent.

This made me blush even harder and I hid my face in his chest to save me from further embarresment. I closed my eyes, inhaling his scent, and I couldn't help but think back to last night.

I knew me and Ashton needed to talk, but I was scared too. What if he said he didn't feel the same way? What if he stopped talking to me all together?

Ashton's not like that. A voice in my head said.

And it's right, Ashtons not like that, he's insanely sweet, caring, compassionate, and I know he would never hurt me intentionally.

"Your thinking about last night aren't you" Ashtons voice broke me out of my thoughts.

I looked up at him and I noticed now different he looked from when he first woke up. He was no longer smiling and his eyes were filled with sadness and regret. I nodded my head in a response to his question and he sighed.

"I think we need to talk" he said lowly.

I removed myself from his arms so we layed side by side.

"Look... about what happened with the girl, it started as friendly dancing." He started but I cut him off.

"No Ash you don't have to explain yourself we aren't together" I said.

"I do." He sighed before continuing "Even if we aren't together I like you and I care for you and I want to explain myself." He says, his tone stern.

I nodded and waited for him to continue.

"When we went to dance I was all ready tipsy, as you know all ready know. Then this girl came up to me and started dancing with me, just friendly at first. Then I took a couple more shots and a couple more songs played and she started dancing dangerously close to me, but at this point I was so drunk that I didn't care. We ended up kissing and she led me into the alley you and Michael found us in. In the middle of us kissing I realized what I was doing and I stopped. I told her why and we just ended up talking. And then you guy's came out and you know the rest" he ended with a deep breath.

"Why did you stop" I asked curiously.

We weren't a couple so he had no reason to stop. I don't know what we are exactly, but I know we're not a couple and he has every right to kiss whoever he wants.

"Because, like I said, I like you." He said, his voice sincere.

I sighed and nodded my head, giving him a small smile. I then realised that I still had to tell him about the kiss Michael and I shared. We were both drunk, we all were, but that doesnt mean I should hide it ecpesially since he explained what happened last night.

"I need to tell you something" I said slowly and hesitantly.

"About you and Michael? I all ready know" he said, and once he noticed the confused look I gave him, he added "when you went inside he told me and explained everything"

"Are you made" I asked, looking up at him.

He shook his head slowly "I'll admit I was hurt, but I understand it" he said, his eyes meeting my own.

"Im sorry" I said, breaking the eye contact by turning my head.

"I am too, we both did something last night not just you" he said, grabbing my chin lightly to get me to look at him again.

I nodded and wrapped my arms around him, lying my head on his chest. He sighed happily before wrapping his arms around me, pulling me closer as he layed his chin on my head.

I smiled as I felt his fingers run through my hair delicately. I looked up and saw that he was all ready looking at me. We smiled at eachother warmly before he leaned in, kissing my forehead causing my eyes to flutter shut. When I opened them he was still smiling at me.

All of a sudden the door connecting to Calum's room flung open.

"Hey guys- oh am I ruining a moment" Calum smirked when he took in our appearance.

"No" I shook my head and smiled even though he did.

"Ok well were all going out to eat come on" he replied, and left, the door closing behind him.

I laughed as I got up because Ashton tried to pull me back. I successfully got up and left Ashton whining on the bed behind me as I walked into the bathroom.
