Part 21: Ice Cream

Ashton's pov
For the first time in a long time, I was excited about playing tonight.We made our way backstage, but we still had a few minutes until we were on. So we started fooling around in the dressing room. Luke turned up the radio and Calum started dancing around. Michael just sat on the couch playing on his phone and I decided to join him. Emma walked over and tried to change the station and got into an argument with Luke.
"So when are you officially going to ask her and take her out?"Michael asked, never taking his eyes off his screen.
"Here we go again." I muttered as I buried my face in my hands.
"Michael, she's across the fucking room." I whispered-yelled.
"That's not my fucking problem. Stop being a chicken and take her out."
"I'm not chicken. And fine, I will." I replied as I watched her laugh from across the room.
Emma's pov
The next morning, I slept in since the guys played Fifa all night and I had nothing better to do than to sit and watch. I opened my eyes to a single red rose on my pillow. I blushed. I picked it up, excited to read the note attached.
Good morning beautiful ;) x
It read.
I smiled as I made my way to front of the bus. The guys were eating. I sat down next to Ashton and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before grabbing a bowl and serving myself cereal.
"Can you guys stop being cute?" Michael scoffed jokingly.
"You can always leave, you know?" I teased.
"Again, I see you aren't a morning person." He replied as he got up.
Ashton chukled as he turned to me.
"We have the morning off today so we have a while to ourselves. The guys are just gonna stay in the bus and play Fifa."
"Ok, what do you want to do?" I asked before putting a spoonful of coco puffs in my mouth.
"I have a surpise for you."
"A surprise?"
"Yes, a surprise."
"What kind of surprise?" I asked.
"I'm not telling you." He shook his head, giggling at my attempts to annoy the answer out of him.
"Why not?"
"Just go get ready!" He exclaimed, smiling.
After getting dressed, I was blindfolded and Ashton grabbed my hand, leading me to where ever we were going.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked sticking out my hand to make sure I didn't walk into something.
"That's part of the surprise."
"I don't know if I trust you Irwin." I joked. He stopped suddenly.
"Fine. Then I guess we'll just turn around and you won't get any ice cream since I know its your favorite."
"WAIT. You may proceed."
"I thought you didn't-" He started to say, but I interupted him.
"I said you may proceed."
He chuckled as he continued guiding me.
"Since you told me that we're getting ice cream, can I take this blindfold off?" I asked touching the soft material around my eyes.
"NO." He chuckled as he continued to pull me down to wherever we were headed.
We turned suddenly and I heard a bell ring, probably from a door. As soon as we stepped in I could tell the room was bursting with activity. People were talking and laughing and I got excited.
"Ok. I'm going to take it off now. Ready?" Ashton asked as he started untying the blindfold.
I nodded as I opened my eyes to the cutest vintage ice cream shop. The walls were striped red and white with old pictures hung around. The decorations were colorful and oldies music filled the room. My jaw dropped.
I heard Ashton laugh as he watched me gawk at the room.
"You know I love ice cream. This is the best place ever." I said before giving him a peck of the cheek.
A waitress showed us to a booth and handed us our menus.
I slid in and Ashton sat across from me.
"I want chocolate. Like everywhere. Do you have anything like that?" I asked the waitress a little excitedly.
"There's the triple chocolate sundae with extra hot fudge." She replied with a smile.
"Omg yes please." I said wiggling in my seat.
"I'll just have a regular vanilla sundae with hot fudge." He handed back our menus. As soon as the waitress walked away I kicked Ashton lightly.
"Hey! Why are you kicking me?" He giggled, kicking me back.
"Thanks. This is really cool. And you should of just told me."
"No, your face when I took the blindfold off was priceless. I'm glad I can put a smile on your face." He replied shrugging his shoulders.
"I love you." I said grabbing his hands across the table. He intertwined our fingers and smiled looking down at our hands.
"I love you too. You know, I brought you out here to ask you something, but the truth is I don't even know where to begin. I want to start by being cheesy and saying all the things I love about you, like your smile, the way you laugh, the way you move, your kisses, your hugs, and so much more, but I also want to say how much you mean to me and how for the past 3 months I basically became a zombie with absolutely no life and how when I'm with you everything is perfect because you're you. Then I also want to say that you make me happy. I know you aren't perfect, but you did warn me right? That night after you listened to your song. But I like it that way. So what I'm trying to say is..." He stopped to take a deep breath and continued," will you be my girlfriend?"

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited. This is it guys. I really want and Ashton Irwin. Ugh. Anyways, I hope you guys like it. Don't hesitate to comment or vote. I'd really appreciate it. Love you guys!
