The boy next door || a.i.

"Come one, we'll be late for the movie" ashton yelled, running around, trying to find his phone

"Movie? What are you talking about?" I puzzled

"I'm taking you out today, first stop, movies."

"Oh ok, where else are we going?"

"Surprise" he smirked. Pulling me out the door, and into his car.

**********

Once the movie finished, we were walking around the cinema foyer, and someone caught my eye.

"Is that Luke?" I pointed to the snack bar.

"Yes it is"

We began walking over to him, when he turned around, and walked towards someone. A girl. He embraced her in a hug, kissing her forehead.

"Um lets go" ashton muttered.

"What's that a- did you know about that?!" I said.

"No I didn't" he said, "well, he'll tell us when he's ready I suppose. Come one, lunch time!"

Ashton and I walked out of the cinema and down the street to the city. We stopped in a little alley way cafe where we had lunch.

"This is nice" I pointed out.

"The best for you" he grinned.

"Corny much?" I laughed.

We ordered our lunch, and began talking about nothing.

"So Luke, huh" I asked. "You seriously didn't know"

"No, I didn't. He usually tells me all of that stuff. He must've only just met her."

"I wonder who she is" I puzzled.

"That doesn't matter if he's happy though. But he has been acting suspicious lately though" he said. "Do you want ice cream?"

"Yeah."

We walked together around the city for ages until we found an ice cream shop. At the window of the shop for ages deciding what we should have.

"I'll have choc-chip," Ashton said a little more excited than he probably should have.

"You're 20 don't forget." I shook my head.

"Shut up and tell me what you want."

"Just strawberry thanks Ash"

He ordered our ice creams, and we walked around for a while longer, watching a few different attractions around the city, and through the gardens.

"It's getting late now, I think I'll take you home now."

"My home?" I frowned.

"You can come back to my house instead."

"Does luke a girlfriend?" Ashton blurted out.

"No, he would have said something if he did" Calum assured.

"Yeah, he doesn't" Michael shook his head.

"I saw him with someone today" Ashton assured.

"Yeah, I saw it too. At the movies." I said

"Really? Why didn't he say so?" Michael asked

"Um I don't know. Maybe he didn't want us to find out?" Calum questioned.

"Well, we'll find out sooner or later, but maybe for now, don't say anything ok?" I looked at Calum.

"Why are you looking at me?" He questioned .

"Because you're always the one who says something" I said.

"Do not!" He interjected.

"You do" everyone said at once.

**********

Ashton and I were sitting on the couch, his legs sprawled out over mine, when we heard the door open, and lots of giggles.

Luke came into the lounge room, followed by someone behind him.

"Hey Luke" ashton said, as I noticed who the girl was.

"Oh hey, um.. This is my girlfriend-"

"Kaya" I squealed, jumping up off the couch, and running towards her, as she hugged me

"You know her?" Luke asked.

"Yes. Of course!"

"I remember the days" Kaya laughed. "So you know the boys well?"

"Yeah actually. I live next door and ash-" I started

"She's my girlfriend" he said,walking up next to me.

"Oh ok. That's cool" she smiled.

Ashton's POV

We all sat down on the couches together, Michael and Calum too talking and laughing. Kaya was great, she was funny, and pretty, but I just wish that luke had said something.

"Boys," I whispered, gesturing for the rest of them to come into the kitchen.

"So, do you guys like kaya? She's cool isn't she?" Luke rambled.

"Luke. Why didn't you say something?" I hissed

"I wasn't sure how to, and I was waiting for the right time."

"You sure?"

"Yes I am, I swear"

"You didn't keep it from us?"

"No! Never. Cmon you know me. I hate saying stuff like that. It's too sappy?"
