Loving Ashton

|ELEVEN|

We walked into their house and was immediately blown away, "How can you guys afford this?" I gasp, "Richly comfortable." Ashton answered, Chris was still outside with Gina talking about god knows what. "I know but like how? Are your parents like fucking billionaires?" I asked looking at him. He didn't answer me when I said that.

"So they are." I said, "I don't have parents." He said, His tone clipped. "Oh, Are they like ... Dead?" I asked. He gave me a look before answering. "My mom, yes. My dad? I didn't get that lucky." I nodded slowly, "So what's her name? The Frenchie I mean?" I asked changing the topic completely, "Her name is Nilla, Short for Vanilla." He answered. I looked at Nilla who seemed like she was ready to jump out of his hands. He put her down and she immediately started to run in circles around us.

"She's hyper and very spoiled because of me." He admits. I kneeled down and rubbed her stomach, "She's so cute." I cooed "I got snacks!" Chris announced as he walked passed Ashton and I. Gina followed him into the house with a smile on her face, Her cheeks a light tint of pink.

Ashton smirked, "Oh, I know that look." He mumbled. As if Christian heard him, he dashed out of the kitchen and glared at Ash. "I swear to you I forgot the shit you are existed. Not another word." He grumbled, This was my second time seeing Chris get this serious.

Ashton, Who seemed unfazed by Chris' attitude, still wore the same smirk on his face when he taunted Chris. "Or what?" He said, "I'll expose you." Chris responds. Ashton snorts, "Bullshit." He said patting Chris's shoulder then whispered something into his ear. Chris rolled his eyes and shook his head. His serious mood was dropped and a ghost smile played at his lip as he reminded us that he had snacks in the kitchen.

"What look were you talking about?" I whispered to Ashton, He looked over and me, His eyes twinkled in amusement. "They like each other, A lot. But they're too pussy to admit it. I would interfere but I'll let them figure it out." He said. I sighed "Awe, I always wanted to play cupid." I said looking at Ashton who wore an unrecognizable emotion on his face. And he looked very tense, "Was it something I said?" I asked, "Don't ever mention that name around me." He mumbled coldly, His friendly mood now gone.

He walked straight passed me and into the kitchen leaving me behind with Nilla and a mind full displeasing thoughts.

He hates Valentines' Day AND Cupid, and somehow I seem to have mentioned both ... Of course, he would hate cupid, Valentines' Day is to celebrate cupid and his first love - Holy shit I suck.

After our little movie session, we all impulsively decided to go to Target and do absolutely nothing. "What if we get this giant unicorn?" Chris said pointing at the huge white plush unicorn "It's so pretty." Gina mumbled as she stroked the rainbow mane on the toy. "We should get it." She said with a big grin, "Get it then." Chris said. I looked over at Ashton who was just smirking at the two. "You should pick something." I told him "Me? No, I'm fine." Ashton said with a shrug, "If you don't, I'll get something for you." I said. He looked at me and raised his brow, "Knock yourself out then, princess." He said.

And even though I should be accustomed to the random nicknames Ashton gave me daily, This one had a different effect on me. It made my heart beat a bit faster and my face began to heat up. I turned on my heel and made my way to the toy section. A stitch plush toy caught my attention, and right next to the stitch plush toy sat Angel. A grin slowly made its way on my face and I grabbed them both.

I went back to the group and saw that Chris was currently holding a plush dead pool that was nearly the same size as the unicorn Gina was holding. "You didn't get anything?" Chris asked. I shrug "I saw something and grabbed something for Ash since he didn't want to pick." I said. Ash pulled out his phone and walked off, I gave his retreating figure a confused look before I looked back at Chris who was completely unfazed by Ashton's sudden disappearing. "What?" Chris said when I just stared at him, "So, Does that happen often?" I asked referring to Ashton.

He nodded, "Yeah, It's for a good reason though." He answered. Gina gave his side profile a questioning look "What's the reason?" I asked, "Yeah." Gina said, Obviously just as intrigued as I was. "Not my place to tell. Just trust me." He said, I bit my lip and looked back down the empty aisle. "I trust you." Gina said and I looked back at Chris who was smirking at me "Who knows, He might just be burying a body." He said to me with a playful wink. I rolled my eyes "Oh, haha." I said before giving him a small smile "I trust you too." I added, "We should go check these out and leave, My feet kinda hurts and I want to go home and cuddle with my new unicorn." Gina whined.

I shrugged and followed behind them both as they walked towards the front of the store. The entire walk to the register was kind of long, mainly because the two idiots that I was following couldn't decide if they wanted to flirt or argue so it was a mix between both.

"Hi guys, find everything okay?" The cashier asked, "Yup." We all said in unison, Chris pulled out his wallet and looked at me "Aren't you going to put your stuff in? I'll pay." He said. I shook my head "It's fine, I got this." I told him "Suit yourself." He said paying for his Deadpool and Gina's unicorn. They walked towards the exit as I paid for the plush toy I bought Ashton. I caught up with them outside and found Ashton leaning against the car we came in, deadpan.

He stared at Chris and Gina for a bit and then looked at me and the bag I was holding before opening the door to the car and getting in. I held back a frown as I got into the car. Both Chris and Gina decided to take the backseat for themself leaving the passenger seat for me. I looked over at Ashton who didn't even acknowledge us, He started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. "Stop staring."

It's all for a good reason
