Teacher | Ashton Irwin

Three

I walked across my bedroom and into my en-suite bathroom. My heels clicked on the tiled surface. I looked in the mirror. I wore a black lace dress that came to my mid-thigh *imagine photo with v-neck* with really high black heels with an ankle strap. I put on a light layer of foundation, just enough to make my skin even but not caked. I never needed to contour my face as I have high, prominent cheekbones and a sculpted jawline. I picked up my matte, gel eyeliner and did a cat eye. I lightly filled in my eyebrows so they looked completely natural. I wasn't sure what colour of lip to do so I opted for a darkish nude colour. I let my hair fall in it's natural waviness, sitting on my hipbones.
I grabbed my phone and walked down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and said, "Hey mum, I have a date."
She looked up at me from her magazine as she sat at the table. Her face lit up and she said, "You love gorgeous. Have a nice time."
I walked out the door. I walked down my street and waited for Ashton as he said that he would meet me here. I soon saw him, walking down the street. He was dressed in a white shirt, violet tie and a black suit and trousers, but of course he wore his black brogues.
He walked up to me and his jaw dropped, "You look stunning."
I smiled and said, "Thanks."
We began walking and I asked, "You didn't make it very clear earlier. Could you explain the plan for today?"
"My mother and father are over from America and they were going to meet me and Maddie for dinner but as you know, me and Maddie broke up. So I need you to pretend to be Maddie," he smiled. He took my hand in his and laced our fingers together.
I asked, "Have they met Maddie before?" He shook his head, "Thank God because I don't think this plan would've worked otherwise. So what type of girlfriend would you like?"
"Just don't be too open. I don't really mind what you do but don't be all over me. I trust you to be mature and hold my hand and smile or somthing," he giggled.
I smiled, "You have a really cute giggle. Anyway, I wanted to ask you something. Why were you so annoyed when you saw me and Calum kissing earlier in detention?"
He started, "You were meant to be working in detention. I mean-"
"Ash," I cut him off, "Don't go all teacher on me. Tell me the real reason."
"I don't know," he shrugged, "I just thought that you might regret it one day and I don't want you to make that decision."
I sighed, "But I did it anyway. Believe me, I wouldn't have let it go any further than kissing."
"Good," he smiled, "Now remember, your name is Maddie Wilson and you're 20 like me."
I nodded. We talked about nothing in particular for the rest of the walk, just general talk. We walked into the restaurant hand-in-hand. Ashton lead me to a table where a man and woman sat, his mom and dad. They smiled sweetly and his mom exclaimed, "Sweetie! It's good to see you again."

Ashton smiled, "Hi guys." He leaned over and kissed his mom on the cheek and hugged his dad.

"You must be Ashton's girlfriend," she said and I blushed. "Whats your name?"

"I didn't tell you her name?" Ashton questioned.

His father said, "No son. Take a seat you muppets."

As I took my seat, Ashton pushed my seat in for me like a gentleman then sat beside me, keeping hold of my hand as he rested them on my exposed thigh. Ashton smiled, "This is my girlfriend Rachel Fox. Rachel, these are my parents; Ann-Marie and Mason."

"Oh please. Call me Ann just. Double barrels are too difficult to remember," his mother chuckled. "So Rachel, tell us about yourself."

"Well," I looked at Ashton who gave me a reassuring smile as he gently squeezed my hand, "I'm Rachel Fox. I'm 20 and I work in Topshop."

His father smiled, "Shall we eat?"

"Ohhhh yes, I'm starving," I said. Everyone chuckled as they picked their menus up, as did I.

Her mother said, "She doesn't try to hide the fact that she loves food. I like her Ash."

Ashton looked into my eyes. His hazel eyes looking more green as they twinkled under the light. He smiled, "Me too."
