After This, We're Getting Pizza

Chapter 6

"Shittt" I yell as I accidentally burn myself.

"What happened" says a low voice coming from the living room.

"Nothing, it's fine, I just burned the shit out of myself trying to flip these damn tortillas."

"Oh okay" I hear faintly, followed by someone rumbling around.

I put my hand under the cold water in the sink to soothe the burn.

Suddenly I feel a presence behind me and whip around to meet their gaze.

"Hey beautiful, are you okay?" Ashton says inspecting the patch of red the burn left on my skin.

He continues, "here; some burn cream from the first aid kit in the bathroom." He grabs the packet from the counter next to him, and goes for my hand.

He hesitates and looks up at my face for permission. I simply nod, lost in his eyes. He then proceeds to massage it gently onto my burn.

"You should be more careful love, wouldn't want to mess up these flawless hands of yours." He says as he inspects my hand, moving his gaze toward my wrist. It stops all of a sudden, frozen on the faint yet abundant scars. I look to meet his piercing gaze. I simply say "Battle scars."

I pull my hand away, and divert my attention back on the last tortillas. "Thank you for the cream, I'm fine now though." I say.

Not really the cream I wish I was thanking him for but still.

Jeez brain, thirsty much?!

I grab the last couple of tortillas from the pan and place them with the rest on the pile.

"Anytime, love." He says, noticing I got a little uncomfortable.

I look up and give him a nice reassuring smile despite it though. "Everything's done, could you go get everyone please?"

"Of course." He replies as he heads out of the kitchen to go round everyone up to eat.

I place all the food in serving plates and bowls and head to the dining room and put them on the table. The table had already been set from when I cleaned the house while everyone was asleep this morning.

I begin to hear footsteps approach and hear Jax say "Damn Alex it smells sooo good." Everyone then mumbles in agreement, sat down, and dug into the food.

I grabbed a plate and three tacos and headed back to the kitchen. I placed my plate on the counter, then grabbed a water bottle from the freezer. I took a sip from the bottle and placed it on the counter next to my food.

I hadn't been hungry all day, I wasn't exactly sure why. I stared at my food for a minute or so but eventually force myself to take a bite.

A few minutes passed and I finish. As if on cue, Ashton comes into the kitchen holding all the dirty dishes in his hands.

"Oh, let me help." I proceed to grab half of the dishes from him and place them in the sink. I grab the sponge, put a droplet of soap, and start to wash the dishes.

"Thanks." He says putting the rest of the dishes with the others.

He then snatches the sponge out of my hand and before I could protest, he says, "You made dinner, the least I could do is wash the dishes.

Totally shocked and insanely turned on, I simply wash the bubbles off my hands and let him clean.

Let me tell you, there is something about a man doing something without having to be asked, that is so fucking sexy.

He notices me staring at him, lost in thought. "A penny for your thoughts?" He says.

I then hold my hand out. "Okay, but where's my penny?"

I kinda hope he doesn't have one but then on the contrary...

Before I finish that thought, his face lights up and his hand disappears into the left pocket of his jeans.

To my horror, he confidently pulls out a penny and places it in my hand.

I stay silent for a moment, contemplating whether or not I want to tell him my true thought or a made-up lie.

I decide to be truthful.

With blood rushing to my cheeks, and a sudden rush of adrenaline in my veins, I repeat what I had been thinking. "there is something about a man doing something without having to be asked, that is just so fucking sexy."

As I finished, I seductively bit my lip and could literally feel the heat coming off of my cheeks. I look up at him to see him staring at my lips, a look of arousal on his face.

He starts getting closer and closer to my face but just as we are about to touch lips, he instead moves his head toward my ear and sensually says "oh baby, there's much more where that came from."

A shiver runs through my body and I reply, quite stupidly I might add, "Yeah definitely...so like where are you from, like not like stalker vibes, cause that's just totally weird, but I was just kind of curious, I guess what I'm trying to get at is that I'd like to know that 'much more' you are talking about, like where you came from, or the town and state or like the country, I don't know, but yeah I just... I guess I just... I think I like you, like a lot and I want to know everything that there is to know about you, although I can tell you are like a seriously awesome, one of a kind guy and you..."

My cringe worthy ramble is interrupted when his lips crash into mine.

Holy shit. Holy fuck.

I have no other words

His plump juicy lips collide with mine in perfect unison. He bites my lip and I let out a low moan.

Time had stopped or maybe it sped up, to fast to get a grip on it.

I wrap my arms around him to deepen the kiss and sprinkle a little tongue into the make out. His hands begin to lower down from my waist and he gives a good firm squeeze to my booty.

Eventually we both separate to catch our breath and he says "God, I've been dying to do that since the first moment I laid eyes on you."

I blush and become a bit shy due to my previous actions. "Me too."

He places one more quick kiss on my lips and turns to continue to wash the dishes.

The moment he begins to turn, our eyes immediately avert to someone in the kitchen entrance. Noella stands there with her mouth wide open and before either of us get to say a word, she lets out a happy little shriek. "Yes I knew it!" She then begins to do a dum happy dance and continues, "Aww, you guys are so cute together, I can't deal. I'm so happy for you guys. Alexton forevs" She says with a huge smile on her face.

I look at him and he looks at me with a cute infectious goofy smile on his face also, producing one on my face too

I avert my attention to Noella "Chill girl, we just kissed once, we're not together together." I say to Noella.

"Yet" He says with a smirk and a wink before he turns to finish the dishes.
