Expect the Unexpected ➳ Ashton Irwin

Chinese and Questions

For the first time in what feels like years, I woke up with a smile on my face. As much as I love the good morning and good night texts Ashton has been sending me this week, I've missed being able to hug him and just see his face. I should really get a new phone so we can Face-Time or something.

Maybe when I get a job, I can. Since I don't go to school anymore, my parents want me to get a job so I'm not a complete introvert. I think it's actually because they're having some financial issues at the moment but don't want to tell me if I want anything, I'm going to have to pay for it myself. Not that I mind though, considering it's my fault they're having money problems in the first place, it's the least I can do.

I shake away those negative thoughts and focus on getting ready for my day with Ashton and the boys. We're not doing anything exciting, just hanging out and probably watching movies since they're all jet-lagged and I'm just too lazy to do anything. I decided to wear my favorite dark blue skinny jeans that are starting to fade at the knees because I wear them way too often, pulling a white sweater with grey and burgundy stripes over my plain white t-shirt since it's still pretty cold.

Since I'm back to being my overly organized self, I match my accessories as best as I can to the colors of my sweater, putting on my grey beanie and a bunch of bangles to cover my wrist as I always do. Ashton may know about my wrists but the other boys don't and I'd like it to keep it that way.

I brush my hair free of knots and curl some pieces here and there. When I decide I'm done, I stroll over to my body length mirror and smile at my reflection. I feel like myself again. The organized, color coordinated Violet. Plus my hair no longer looks like a bird just nested in it, so that makes me feel better too.

After throwing my phone, wallet, and keys into a small a small leather satchel-thing that I found for a dollar at the local thrift store I made my way downstairs and yelled a quick goodbye to my parents before leaving the house and heading for my car. I hopped in and started the engine, pulling out of the driveway and making the short drive to Ashton’s.

As soon as I pulled outside of his house all four boys ran out of the door, surrounding my car and banging on the windows while playfully shouting and making funny faces. I chuckled and waited for them to back away from my door before opening it and slipping out. As soon as my two feet were solid on the pavement I was tackled into a hug by all four boys.

“Violet!” Michael shouted into my ear while Luke started singing some random song as he hugged my waist. Calum’s laugh was almost as loud as Michael’s shouting and Ashton was just giggling uncontrollably. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the four goofballs before prying their arms off of me one by one until Ashton was the only one still wrapped around me. He grinned and pulled me in for a proper hug, pressing a kiss to my temple as he did so. Calum made an ‘aw’ sound at the little display of affection while Luke and Michael both gagged, covering each others eyes.

What even are these boys?

Ashton chuckled before pulling away and taking my hand in his, lacing our fingers together. It was surprising how well they fit together being that his hands were probably the size of my face and made my hands look tiny in comparison.

“I missed you,” he smiled at me and I felt my cheeks turn pink as I smiled back,

“I missed you too.”

Calum awed again while Michael and Luke attempted to cover each others ears, still making gagging noises as we all headed towards the house. Ashton kept a hold of my hand the entire time, closing the door behind us with his foot before following the rest of the boys into the living room. The TV was already turned on and several movies were scattered across the coffee table along with multiple take out boxes.
