I sighed as I watched Ashley jump into the pool, nailing a perfect dive. Once he came back up in the shallow end, brushing back his hair and his skin glistening with water, I let out a puff of
air.
"Dude, you're making it so obvious." I jumped at the sound of Jinxx's voice.
I turned to face the guitarist, "What are you talking about?" I asked.
"You're staring at Ash like he's a giant cake. Or like he's covered in cake. Either or." he replied, "So, you're making it so obvious that your in love with him."
"I am NOT in love with him." I protested.
"Sure dude, keep telling yourself that." Jinxx replied, walking off with Sammi.
I scanned the pool area looking for Ashley and couldn't find him. I stood and walked into my room, sitting next to the window and looking out to the backyard to see Ashley sunbathing.
I watched for a few moments, then my heart leapt into my throat as Ashley looked right up at me.
I quickly looked away, my face growing hot as I blushed, and, when I looked back, Ashley was nowhere to be found.
I gulped as Ashley said from the doorway behind me, "Ok Andrew, what gives?" I flinched as Ashley used my full name and turned around.
"What do you mean?" I asked nervously.
"I always catch you staring at me, anytime we're in a room together. So WHAT.GIVES?" I looked away from him,
"I.. don't know." After a few moments of silence, Ashley sighed in exasperation and left, slamming my door behind him.

A few months later we were getting ready for a benefit concert at the Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser.
"Ashleyyyy!" I whined.
Ashley walked into the room,"Yeah?"
"I can't get my belt to buckle." I replied, pouting.
Ashley sighed, "Why didn't you put it on, oh, I dunno, NOT right when we had to leave?"
"I got distracted..."
"You and your ADHD I swear Andy." Ashley walked over and attempted to pull my belt closed.
I gulped and held still as Ash got the buckle clasped. He looked into my eyes and froze.
"A-Ashley?" I stuttered as he placed a hand on my chest.
"Shhhh." he whispered, then pressed his lips to mine.
