Forever, I Promise || A.I.

Chapter 20

~Ashton's Pov~

I'm so excited yet nervous about tonight. Nikki's going to be here soon. We haven't had time alone in weeks.

I hear a knock on my front door which causes me to jump. I start running to answer it and stop in front of it. I open it a crack and expect to see Nikki on the other side. But no. It's Calum fricken Hood.

"Come on man. What the heck do you want? Nikki will be here any second."

"Sorry dude. I forgot she was coming over tonight."

Yeah, right. He fricken knew about her coming over.

"Fine, I don't care anymore," I hear a car pull into my driveway and look out the window. Sure enough, Nikki was getting out of her mom's car. She closes the door and starts walking towards my house. "Can you please leave now, Cal?"

He sighs and turns around. As he's walking to his car, he whispers something to Nikki. She looks at him in disgust. I wonder what he said to her...

After he walks off, Nikki sees me watching her. She smiles and starts running towards me. I hug her and kiss her cheek.

"Hey, Ash! I missed you!"

I smiled at her excitement seeing me. She's so fucking cute when she's excited.

"I'm happy you're here because I've planned out the whole night! First we'll cook dinner together, then we'll sit down and get to know each other, and we'll end the night with watching a romantic movie while snuggling on the couch!"

She smiled and raised an eyebrow. "You really planned this out?" I nodded. She giggled, "You're the best."

I grinned and pulled her in close, kissing her head. I remember my plan and run away from her and into the kitchen.

I wait there for about a minute before she comes in. "What took you so long?"

"I was looking at all of the pictures on the wall. You were an adorable baby." She smirked, showing her little dimples.

"Why, thank you. I bet you were more cute."

She rolled her eyes and said, "So, what's for dinner?"

"Well, I was thinking we could bake some bread." She looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Where the hell did you learn to bake bread?"

"Um, I don't know." She raised an eyebrow. She kept on staring at me like that so I gave in. "Ok, ok. My mom taught me how to bake and cook when I was in middle school. Go ahead, make fun of me."

She didn't laugh like I thought she would of. She smiled. Not like a little smile. A really big one that actually made her look excited.

"I find that amazing, not embarrassing. I would love it if my mom taught me how to cook. All I know how to do is pop a bag of popcorn in the microwave."

She looked a little sad. I hate how her parents don't care about her. I mean, how can they be that selfish to their own child? She is so amazing and she deserves to me loved.

I smiled at her and pulled her in for a hug. "I love you, Nikki."

"I love you too." We hug for about two more minutes before I let go of her. She smiles at me and looks down at the floor.

"I think it's time to make some delicious bread!" She smiled at me and we started to roll out the dough. I absolutely love baking, but the thing that makes it better is baking with her.

We finish in about an hour. The loaf is a little lumpy, but it's still delicious. After we finish eating what we can, I put away the rest of the loaf.

I turn to her with a big, goofy smile on my face. "So, shall we get to know each other then?" She nods, with a little smile on her face.

We sit down at the kitchen table facing each other. She turned to me. "So, what's your favorite color?"

I let out a little giggle then said, "Red. And yours?"

She smiled and said, "I guess purple is mine."

We kept on asking questions like "what's your favorite animal?" "what's your favorite song?" "what do you want to go to college for?" It actually helped us get to know each other.

We finished and now she's smiling at me. That, that is why I'm in love with this girl. Her smile, personality....her.

We walk downstairs to the couch to watch the movie. As she sits down, I pick out one.

"What do you want to watch?" I ask turn and ask her.

"Ummmmm, how about a classic?"

"Grease it is."

I absolutely love Grease. I know all of the songs and some of the lines. I've been watching it since I was a little kid.

"Yay! I love that movie!"

I chuckle and put it in the DVD player. I walk over and sit next to her. I put my arm around her and she snuggles in close. I kiss the top of her head and turn to the TV.

The rest of the night is full of cuddling, singing, and making out. This night has brought us closer and I'm just so happy. I swear, if we're ever torn apart, I would die.

That would be when forever ends.
