Why me?

Chapter Nineteen

Ashton and I stood their awkwardly, When i looked up i saw him turned around whispering something to his friends behind him. They gave him a thums up and gave him a signal to turn around, he did so quickly and meeting my eyes with his, he finally broke the silence with,

"Do i know you?"

"I dont think so'" i replied back

"But my name is Erica,"

"My name is Ashton, Wait a secound you followed me on instagram!"

I looked at the ground kinda embarrassed,

"Yeah i did,"

"Well i would have followed you back but your such a pretty girl that i would lose my mind having to see you on instagram,"

Heat crept up my neck and i was probably as red as a tomatoe but i looked up anyways. He smiled as he saw me as red as a tomatoe.

"What are you not used to getting compliments?

Not really no," I said in a small shy voice.

"Well you really should,"

I smiled and he said,

"Can you give me a sec, i need to talk to my friends?" i nodded and he turned to them and walked to the little group. I quickly looked at Brook and Hayden that were smiling at me and i ran to Brook and said,

"The guy from instagram, thats him!" she smiled a huge smile, " oh my god, go get him girrlll!"

I smiled the same huge smile, " do i look ok?

You look beautiful as always!"

I walked back over to where we were talking and acted like i never left. I watched him as he walked back over to me, he quickly started talking, "so i was wondering if you to go and walk around for a while if thats ok with youre friends and you?" he said pointing at Brook and Hayden that were standing a sort of far distance from us watching, " well I dont know, what exactly do you want to do and go?" he looked at me with those beautiful icey blue eyes, "wherever you want to go, well i was going to go shopping" he smiled hugely and said," than lets go,

Hang on let me ask my friends,

K," he responded as i walked away from him almost unable to have our eyes look away from each others.

Ashton's POV

I was walking with luke and hunter my buds when i ran into a smaller figure causeing them to fall over. Me immediately wanting to start apologising i stopped, she was so beautiful i couldnt get words out.

I realized exactly who she was when i saw her," the girl from instagram," I shouted in my head. She started picking up her underwear that she dropped and i bent down and started picking them up and helping her with them up. Hopefully she doesn't think this is weird. "Im so sorry," i apologized immediately, she peeped out in a small voice ," its fine, and thank you,"

I grabbed her hand and pulled her up, "that was kind of awkward," she said.

Damn i new she was gonna say that.  Before i knew it word had slipped out of my mouth saying,

"not for me," i finished it with a wink.

Why did i just say that i thought to myself. She smiled at that response. Their had been an awkward silence, i didn't know what to do so i turned to luke and hunter wondering what to say, " what do i say?" i lipped to them, luke being stupid gave me a thums up and hunter was being helpful telling me that she is looking and to turn around.

I whipped around quickly to see her looking at me and our eyes met with such intensity that i realized how green her eyes are.

I finally decided to break the silence and ask, " do i know you?

I dont think so, but my name is Erica," she mumbled,

"My name is Ashton," i finally decided to become brave, " wait a secound you followed me on instagram, " i said out of the blue, the look on her face looked shocked and embarrassed,

"Yeah i did," she said in a shy quite voice,

"Well i would have followed you back, but youre such a peetty girl that i would have lost my mind seeing pictures of you on my instagram,"

She all of a sudden got red like a tomatoe red, it was actually pretty adorable,

"What are you not used to getting compliments?"

" no not really," she replied back,

"Well you really should."

She had a big beautiful smile on her face that was perfectly placed their,

"Can you give me a sec, i need to talk to my friends," she nodded and looked at luke and hunter. I walked over to them smiling.

"Wow she is hot!" luke said popping the h, "yeah no kidding," hunter threw in,

" yes,yes she is very pretty, but i came over here to ask if i can leave you guys and go with her if she wants to," I got some weird looks from the guys, " but you dont even know her," hunter said, " and this is my chance to get to know her, well you can do whatever you want just dont do anything you'll regret," i nodded and walked back over to see her still standing there looking innocent.

" so i was wondering do you want to walk around the mall for a while if its ok with your friends and you?" I was honestly terrified of her anwser,

"Well i dont know what exactly would we do?

Whatever you want to do,

Well i was going to go shopping,

Than lets," i said in a happy voice.

" hang on i have to ask my friends," she said as she was walking away,

" k, " i replied back,

We could bearly take our gaze off of each other her green eyes starring into mine until she looked away.

She talked to her friends in excitement that made me smile. The girl that she was talking to looked at me and started physically jumping a squealing. I laughed and looked away.

Erica handed her friend her bag and walked back over to me looking at her feet, i lifted my eyebrows at her and she nodded.

I held out my arm and asked,

"Shall we?" she grabbed my arm hesitant and we began walking.
