Chapter 26

Valerie's P.O.V.

"Valerie! Hurry up! We're gonna be late!" Ashton yells, pounding on the bathroom door.

"Can you hold on? I'm changing!" I yell back, putting on skinny jeans. "I need another one of your shirts!" I dry my hair as much as I can with a towel and frown at the wavy mess in front of me. I grab a hair tie off my wrist and pull my hair up into a ponytail.

"Open the door! I've got the shirt!" Ashton yells.

I turn the light off and open the door a crack. I poke the side of my head out and see Ashton, covering his eyes and holding out the shirt. "Here you go." He says.

"What a gentleman." I tell him with a laugh. I take the shirt from him and close the bathroom door again. I slip the shirt on and open the door again. "You got any extra toothbrushes?"

"Valerie, you're living off of me. My shirt. My jeans."

"Hey, they kind of fit." I pout.

"Yeah, if you roll the bottoms up and put on a belt."

"I'm not six feet tall." I say, rolling my eyes with a smile.

"Wouldn't be surprised if you had a pair of my boxers on right now." He tells me, arms crossed over his chest with a smug grin on his face.

"Okay, you got me." I tell him with a laugh. "I just need a toothbrush."

"Use the one you used yesterday."

"But I used yours." I say, scrunching my nose up.

"What's the big deal? Luke uses it all the time too."

"What?" I ask, my eyes widening. "It's been inside of Luke's mouth?"

"Now's probably a bad time to mention that all of the guys have used it." He says sheepishly.

"Ashton!" I yell. "That's so gross! I brushed my teeth with everyone's germs! I'm gonna get mono!"

"I'll cuddle with you when you get it." He says with a grin.

"That's so gross, Ashton! I need another toothbrush."

"We can go to the store and buy you one, but after practice. We're late, come on."

"Practice is in your garage." I say with an eyeroll.

"It doesn't matter. I'm late. If I'm not down there in the next five minutes, Luke's gonna cut my balls off."

"I need a clean toothbrush." I whine.

"Well go ask Patty. She probably has some in the guest bathroom."

"Why didn't you say that earlier?" I ask, rolling my eyes and shoving past him.

"Val, don't be mad at me." He says with a laugh.

"I'm not mad at you. Where's the fucking guest bathroom?"

"Down the hall. To the left. Third door on the right."

"Your house is fucking huge." I mutter, walking towards the bathroom.

"Don't be mad at me." He whines.

"I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the fact you have a universal toothbrush with your bandmates and you let me use it."

"You're part of the group now?" He suggests with a small smile.

"That's so gross. You've basically made out with your band members."

"Yeah, and so have you. There's no turning this around on me. We're in this together."
