100 Reasons Why (Ashton Irwin)

Date Night (Part 3)

Date Night (Part 3)

*Day Fifteen*

Ashton POV

We are on our way to watch Annabelle now. I'm basically shaking in my shoes because of the nerves that are flying through my body.

"Ashton, I'm cold." Belle says.

"I would give you my jacket but we're in a moving car and I'm driving so that would be awkward and dangerous."

"So turn on the heat more."

"Oh! Right. Go for it." I say.

You're an idiot.

"Thanks. What time does this movie start?"

"In twenty minutes, which gives us plenty of time to get there, get our tickets, get a snack, and find our seats."

So, in fifteen minutes, that is exactly where we are. In our seats, each with a drink and a large tub of popcorn to share.

"Ash, I'm scared."

"The movie hasn't even started yet."

"I know but I'm scared at the thought of a scary movies."

"You really don't like horror movies." She shakes her head. "You'll like this one." I lean down and kiss her cheek. I catch her blushing, but I decide to not say anything about it.

"How are you so sure?"

"Because I'm here."

"Oh, yes, right. Just because I'm in the presence of the you, everything around is perfect."

"Basically." Annabelle rolls her eyes.

"Ashton, I don't like scary movies!"

"Well, shit, now I feel bad. You don't have to watch it if-"

"It's fine, I guess. You're here, so I can just snuggle up to you."

I open my arms. "Please." She laughs and lifts the arm rest. Then she takes off her ballet flats and snuggles to me. Her head is resting on my chest and my arms are around her.

I'm so happy.

"You're warm." She says. I kiss the top of her head. Then, the lights dim and the movie starts. "Oh, God."

The movie is scary, but I'm mainly focused on the beautiful girl to my right. I notice how her hair falls perfectly to the side of her head, and how bright her eyes are, even in fear. I notice her toes curl when a scary part comes and how tightly she squeezes my torso. I notice just how much I love her and I notice how happy I am when I'm around her.

I find reason 27 on my list.

27. How happy she makes me.

I wonder how far she is on her list. God, I wish I could read it. I'm dying to know what she's written. Maybe I should've stolen her list earlier like the boys said...

"Ashton." Annabelle whispers.

"Sh, it's okay, it's only a movie." I respond.

"Shit, I hate Annabelle so much."

"Hey, don't talk about yourself like that." I joke.

"Not funny, Ash."

"Yes it is."

"It is not the time to joke around. I'm dying in my own fear right now."

"That's not good."

"Oh, shut up." I lightly chuckle and put my focus on the movie. It is pretty scary and during some parts, I wish I had an Ashton to cuddle up to and protect me. (Me like, all the time)
But I don't, because I'm Ashton and cuddling up to yourself would be weird. Especially when you have an Annabelle to cuddle. But she's basically useless because I'm supposed to protect her so I just sit here with no protection.

When the movie is over, Annabelle won't come out.

"Belle, c'mon, it's over."

"Nope. She's behind me."

"No she's not."

"I'll stay here." She says. So, what do I do? I pick up her shoes, swing her across my body, and carry her out, bridal style. "Ash, what are you doing?"

"We can't sit there all night. We have to get back to campus." She's quiet for the rest of the car ride. When we arrive at campus she at least walks, and like the gentle man I am, I walk her back to her dorm.

"Ashton, this is creepy."

"It's fine, c'mon." I must admit, everything was silent and our footsteps echoed, so it was very creepy. It was just the two of us and questions bounce around my brain.

Did I do okay? What did she think of it? Is she upset we watched Annabelle? Should I hold her hand?

I go with yes, I should hold her hand. I reach out and take her hand. She looks at me and smiles. It was silent between us. But we know the other is there.

When we get to her dorm, we face each other.

"I had fun tonight, Belle." I say.

"So did I. Even the movie was fun." I smile.

"Good night." I kiss her cheek and start to walk away, but she catches me.

"I don't wanna sleep alone." She says. "Will you stay with me?"

"Um, sure." She takes me back into her room.

"Don't look." I turn around as she changes into her pajamas. "Okay, you're good. Are you going to sleep in that?"

"Actually, I usually sleep in my underwear."

"Okay, take those clothes off then as I take off my makeup. Climb into my bed then. But don't wake Jenna." She walks away and I quickly take off my clothes. I climb into her warm bed and wait for her. When she comes back out, she looks even more beautiful.

"I know I don't look partially good without makeup on-" She starts as she climbs into bed next to me. "But-"

"You look more beautiful then I've ever seen you before." I whisper and kiss her forehead.

"Goodnight, Ashton."

"Goodnight, Annabelle."
