How it started™ | Ashton Irwin Fanfic

Chapter 14

All of a sudden it was Thursday. That meant dinner with Ash, Cal, Luke, Mike, Louis and Niall. I couldn't wait.

I had taken Acacia shopping yesterday and she had picked out the most beautiful dress for her date tomorrow. I was short, but not too short, and maroon coloured with three quarter length sleeves. It wasn't dressy, but it wasn't too casual.

Thursday morning, Millie woke me up at the usual time, 6:30am, and I showered and dressed in skinny track bottoms and a tank top and converse. I had breakfast and then drove to school with Acacia, just as normal.

Like any other Thursday, the day started out with a double English class. Then double music and geography and maths, my favourite subjects.

The day passed quickly and I said good bye to Ashton and the boys and told them I'd see them later for diner. I left the school and rove home quickly. I was so excited for the dinner tonight. I hadn't seen Niall and Louis in a few months in person so I was dying for their arrival.

Simon welcomed me when I came in the door. He was wearing a dark navy sweater and jeans and most likely would be staying in this attire for the dinner. We had a small lunch together before I went upstairs to get ready for the night.

I got changed into a casual dress from Pac Sun. It was a white skater dress with lace detail throughout. It was one of my favourite dresses. I paired the dress with some teal Toms to add a splash of colour to the outfit and put on a gold chain and bracelet that Simon had given to me for my sweet sixteenth.

I procrastinated about what to do with my hair and should I do my make up first. I wasn't quite sure what to do with both of them so I just brushed on powder and some lipgloss and mascara or my make up and curled my hair.

At 5pm, Ashton and the boys arrived. They all looked dashing in their black slacks and shirts. They greeted me again with some flowers, this time tiger lillys. They were beautiful. I immediately put them in a case and placed it on the dining table, which we would be eating at later on. The flowers finished the look of the already divine table setting.

We headed upstairs to my room so I could finish getting ready. The boys didn't mind waiting on me; Michael and Luke seemed like best friends again as they lay across my bed watching a music videos television programme. Calum and Ash glanced at the television occasionally but were more focused in a conversation the two were having about some Australian sport I think, as I finished getting ready.

It was 6pm when I was finally finished getting ready for the night. Louis and Niall were expected for around 6:30pm. I introduced Calum, Michael and Luke to Simon, where they hit it off and were laughing that he was Simon Cowell. I told them to relax; he wasn't Mr. Cowell, one of the most powerful men in the music industry, he was Simon, Cliff's dad.

We offered to help Millie in the meantime and before I knew it, the doorbell was ringing. Niall and Lou were finally here.

I rushed to open the door. They boys looked amazing. Louis wore a causal top, black jeans, grey hoodie and a grey beanie and Niall wore a Derby jersey with back jeans with rips at the knees, showing off the scar on his left knee that he had from hurting it playing football all the time. The boys smiled at me and I fell into their arms. It felt nice to be somewhere familiar having not felt it in so long.

Simon and the family greeted Niall and Lou as well. Ashton, Michael, Luke and Calum stood in shock.

Ashton leant down to my level. "Cass, you never said your dad's friends were One Direction." he whispered.

"I didn't tell you a lot of things." I whispered, turning to him and pecking his lips descreetly.

"Cassandra Cowell! Who are these lovely young boys?" The voice came from Louis. He probably didn't know I went by my moms name.
