Promise Me? 5sos Ashton Irwin

Chapter Thirty Six

Song Suggestion: If You Can't Hang-Sleeping With Sirens

*Ariels POV*

I was sat with Michael in the living room, popcorn and several blankets surronding us. We were having our weekly movie day. We decided since were bestfriends we should have a day once a week where we hang out, just us, and watch tv and eat a whole bunch of junk food. Since we both have already watched Supernatural several times, we decided to start watching Amercian Horror Story. I've only seen a few episodes where Michael hasn't even seen one. We were on the second episode when Ashton walked into the living room.

"Ashton you know the rules, only Ariel and I are allowed in the living room during our bestfriend bonding time." Michael said, crossing his arms over his chest and sending Ashton a fake glare.

Ashton held up his hands in defence "I know I know, I just have to ask Ariel a question" he defended.

"Couldn't you just have texted her" Michael asked, pretending to be annoyed.

"Nope" Ashton said, popping the p "This is more of a 'in person' question." He replied.

"Ok, well what is it" I said, curiosity lacing my words.

Ashton turned towards me and gave me a shy and nervous smile "Well.. um.. I was wondering if you would want to go on a date tonight. I know we haven't been able to go on many because of the tour, but I figured since it's our 2 months today that we can go out" He stuttered.

I giggled at his shyness and got off the couch to walk over to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the lips. "You know you don't have to be nervous to ask me these kinds of things, of course I will go on a date with you" I finished, giving him another kiss.

He pulled back and wrapped his arms around me, giving me one of his award winning smiles.

"Hey I know you guys are having a moment or whatever, but I'm supposed to be having a movie time with my bestfriend, and you kind of stole her Ashton" Michael said, laying on his stomach with his chin resting on his arms to look at us.

Ashton and I laughed before kissing one last time before Ashton left back to the bunks. I smiled to myself and sat back down on the couch, covering myself with several blankets. I waited for Michael to start the show back up but instead of doing that, I looked over to see him staring at me with a small smile on his face.

"What?" I asked him.

He shook his head then redirected his gaze back to mine. "Nothing.. nothing, that was just very cute."

"Oh shut up" I said, playfully smacking his arm.

"No I'm serious. He was so nervous to ask you, even though your his girlfriend and you guys practically live together" He said in a more stern tone.

"Ok?" I asked, I knew that he had a point but I wasn't sure what it was.

"You make him nervous" Michael stated, his small smile returning to his face.

"Is that a bad thing" I asked nervously.

"No, not at all." He said, shaking his head.

"Good" I said, mostly to myself.

"Hey.. I know where supposed to be watching tv and getting fat but I've been wanting to ask you something... you don't have to answer it if you don't want to... or if it makes you feel uncomfortable" Michael said in a nervous tone all of a sudden.

"Well what is it about" I asked, turning my body to face him as he did the same.

"Um.. Ashton... and... Jacob" he said, the last part coming out as a whisper.

"Your allowed to ask questions about it, I mean I'm the one who told you guys. It doesn't bother me to talk about it" I reassured him.

"Ok.. well, he took your virginity, right? He asked, still sounding nervous about this topic.

"Yea" I answered.

"Well... again you don't have to answer this if you don't want to... but have you slept with anyone since then?" He asked cautiously.

"No" I said beggining to get confused on to why he was asking me these questions, especially now.

"Oh.. well... um" Michael began to fumble with his words and I think I knew where he was going with this.

"Michael, are you trying to ask me if I'm scared to sleep with Ashton, or anyone else for that matter?" I asked.

"Yea, more of the second one though" he clarified.

"Oh.Well,no I'm not. I just want to make sure that the next time I do it it's with someone who actually loves and appreciates me, as a person, not as an object." I answered. He nodded and pursed his lips, I could tell he wanted to ask more. "Michael im comfortable talking about this. It's in the past and your allowed to ask questions" I laughed at his nervouseness.

"Right" he laughed. "Well your relationship with Jacob, the things that happened I mean, do they effect your relationships. Like with Ashton or anyone you dated after him." He asked.

"Well Ashtons the first guy I've dated since then. But in a way I guess it does. Like I know Ashton isn't like him at all and wouldn't do that to me, but it still scares me when he raises his hand to grab something near me, or even when he goes to stroke my hair. It's not just Ashton though, I'm more cautious around all men." I said.

"That's understandable. I'm glad you know that Ashton, or any one of us for that matter, would never do that to you" Michael said, pulling me into a hug.

"I know you guys, you guys are too kind to do something like that" I said quietly, my head on his chest.

"I love you bestfriend" Michael said when we let go of the hug.

"I love you too Mikey" I responded, ruffling his hair.

"Alright, what time is this date of yours" Michael asked.

"Hmm I actually don't know, let me text Ashton" I said.

Ariel: Hey, what time is our date.

Ashton: 7. Wear something fancy xx.

"He said it's at 7" I told Michael.

"What time is it now" Michael asked

"5:30" I read the time off my phone.

"Well we better get you ready then" Michael said, getting up from the couch and pulling me up as well.

I laughed as Michael led me into the bunks where Luke and Calum were playing on their phones.

"Hey where's Ashton" I asked when I realized he wasnt there.

"He left so you can get ready for your date." Calum replied.

"Want to help me pick out an outfit" I asked the boys.

They nodded and I went to my suitcase. I pulled out multiple dresses and held them to my body. It took about 10 for us to all agree on a dress. It was a black fitted dress with the straps hanging of the shoulders (Picture Is Attached). After we decided on  the dress I went into the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I did basic concealer and fixed my eyebrows, and added a champagne colored eyeshadow to my eyes. I did a simple wing and added some mascara. I then curled my red hair and styled it correctly. When I was done I put on my dress and black heels. I walked out of the bathroom and all the guys jaw dropped.

"What?" I asked, begginging to feel self concious.

"You look amazing bestfriend." Michael said as Luke and Calum nodded in agreement.

"Thanks guys" I said.

"Now we wait for Ashton" Mikey said.

I wrote this whole chapter listening to Billie Eilish, 5sos, and Melanie Martinez, most Billie (love her).

Well there Chapter 36. I hope you guys liked it. The next chapter should be longer then anyone I've written, but I don't know for sure yet. I feel like I should start adding more visuals so I started by showing you guys what Ariel is wearing to their date.
