Chapter Twenty-One: Check Mate

**Ashlyn's POV**

A firm hand was on my shoulder, shaking me until I woke up. I got up and stretched, waking Zayn up as well from my movements. I couldn't believe I actually fell asleep on the drive to the Channel Four building. I rubbed at my face and smelt my breath in the process. I grimaced at the smell, I need a breath mint.

"Anyone have gum?" I asked as I stepped out of the car. I noticed the sun had gone down and the air was feeling rather chilly. I wrapped my arms around me and rubbed at the goosebumps forming. I really should have worn pants and a jacket.

"Here," Harry handed me gum and noticed me shaking. "And take this," Harry began pulling off his hoodie and I waved at him to stop. "What?" He asked confused.

"I can't wear your jacket. You know the rules," I said, trying extremely hard to hide the disappointment in my voice. Harry groaned and looked around annoyed.

"What am I supposed to do Ashlyn? Let you freeze?" He asked sarcastically and motioned at me shivering. I heard the other car doors close and the boys walked over to us.

"What's wrong?" Liam looked between us worried. A cold wind blew and I shivered violently. God why didn't I bring a jacket!

"She's freezing and I can't give her my jacket," Harry said and pressed two fingers to the bridge of his nose.

"I don't want anyone to think we're dating," I said quietly. Another cold wind blew and I had the urge to jump back into the car.

"Here you can wear mine," Louis walked over to me and took off his jacket. When I didn't take it he draped it on me. I felt warmer already. "Put it on Ashlyn. I have a girlfriend, they can't say anything." He said and I put my arms into the warm sleeves.

"Oh, warmth," I said happily, hugging myself.

"Oh no wait," Louis looked at me disgusted. "That does not look good with those shorts or shoes. Take it off," he demanded and I gaped at him. He couldn't be serious.

"Lou! It's fine-"

"Take it off! Don't talk back Ashlyn," he snapped his fingers dramatically at me and I rolled my eyes. Who invited the queen of fashion?

I groaned but took off the jacket, handing it back to him. Since I had been warm in the jacket, the cold was even more aggressive against me. "But I'm freezing!" I protested.

"Hold on!" Louis snapped and I shut my mouth. He looked around at the boys, examining their jackets and long sleeves.

"Couldn't we just go inside the building? Wouldn't that solve everything?" Liam tapped his foot against the concrete and looked at his watch. "We're going to be late Lou."

Louis looked at him with his eyebrows raised. "We are never late Liam. And you don't just interrupt my thought process of dressing her. She's getting a jacket and that's final," Louis said dramatically and I could see the effort in his face to not laugh. He was enjoying this little game of his.

"Sorry I didn't wear a jacket," Niall muttered beside me and I smiled at him.

"Harry, give me your jacket," Lou turned to Harry and he obediently took it off. His hair messed up as he pulled it off his head. I sneaked peeks at Harry's body as his shirt rose with the hoodie.

Niall bumped me with his hip and I heard him chuckling under his breath. "She's staring isn't she?" Harry asked, his voice muffled from the fabric.

"Yup, definitely," Liam answered and grinned evilly at me. I glared at him. "Sorry babe. I have a no lying contract with the boys," he smirked and the boys laughed.
