|Misunderstood| Ashton Irwin

Chapter twenty-three

Bella Waters Pov

Two days later, it was saturday, the day I had been dreading the whole week. I am disturbed from my peaceful sleep when I hear a loud banging on my door.
"Morning!" Ashton chirps as I open my front door, still in my pyjamas as I literally only just got out of bed. I rub my eyes and shuffle to the side, in my slippers, so Ashton could get in through the door.
"When you said Saturday morning, I didn't think you meant eight o'clock!" I whine but he just laughs at me.
"Well how do you expect us to get ready in time!"
"What time does the party even start?" I ask as we stand in my tiny hall way.
"Half past seven tonight" he nods then walks past me into the living room, a big bag swung over his shoulder. I follow him and stand over him as he takes a seat on the sofa and starts to pull out some shower jel and shampoo.
"Is it okay if I take a quick shower, Bella?"
I shake my head in disbelief, I thought by 'getting ready together' would be him coming at like three or four and we would pick an outfit together, I would do my hair then we would just watch tv, but obviously, I'm wrong.
"Yes thats fine, but I'm going back to bed" I chuckle then walk out of the room.
"Lazy bones!" Ashton shouts to me and I roll my eyes, wait a few seconds then put my head around the corner of the door and stick my middle finger up at him.
"Hey!" He yells then starts to laugh. I just ignore him and walk back to my bedroom. As soon as my head hits the soft pillow, I close my eyes and snuggle back down into bed.
I don't quite fall asleep so about five minutes later I hear the water from the shower turn on and then Ashton humming extremely loudly to some song that I don't recognise.
I put my head under my pillow and pull my duvet over me.
I can still hear him.
I swear he is doing this to me on purpose.
It's weird how about four weeks ago we were complete strangers and now he's taking a shower in my house, right next to my bedroom and purposely keeping me awake by singing.
Another few minutes pass and the water turns off and the house becomes quiet again.
I close my eyes and start to drift back to sleep-
"Bella what jeans shall I where?" Ashton comes barging in to my room in just a plain black polo shirt and white boxers. Strands of his hair still drip wet from the shower and his face looks rosy and warm.
I sit up and cant help but stare at him.
"Hello?" He waves the two pairs of jeans in the air, "dark blue or black?" He asks.
"Errm, I would say black" I respond.
"Thats what I was thinking" he smiles then walks out of the room again.
After he leaves I try hard to fall asleep but it doesn't work. Normally I'm used to having a nice lay in on a Saturday but knowing that he's in my house and I could be spending time with him just keeps me awake.
I swing my legs out of bed, slipping on my slippers, then walk into the lounge to find Ashton on his phone, a blue towel in his hands.
"Not much luck of sleeping then?" He asks without looking at me.
"No, not really, I guess I'm up now though" I shrug and plop down on to the sofa then look at the time.
8:32am.
It's so early for the weekend.
He smiles at me then locks his phone.
"Where should I put this towel?" He asks and I stand and take it from him.
"I'll put it in the bathroom for you"
I walk into the bathroom and the floor is slightly damp and the mirror is all steamy. A tiny note in the misted mirror is draw on.
Morning Bella, you look stunning this morning by the way x
I cant help but smile. He has this effect on me.
I quickly hang the towel up to dry then walk back into the living room.
Ashton is on his phone again and he's smiling at something.
"Thank you for that little message, it was very- what are you doing?" I say as he quickly holds the phone up to me and a little clicking noise goes off.
I walk over to him and he tries to hide the screen, but I can see that he's on snapchat and there is a terrible picture if me on there.
"No!" I shout and leap onto the sofa and lean across him to try and snatch his phone. His arm is a lot longer than mine so obviously I don't manage to get it in time before he sends it to someone called lrhemmo.
"Ashton!" I whine.
"It's okay, I was only snap chatting Luke and he wanted to see what you looked like!" He says trying to hide his laugh.
"Well you could of asked to take a nicer picture of me then just taking a mug shot!" I sit on the other side of the sofa and cross my arms.
"Are you sulking?" He teases and pokes my cheek. I push his arm away and get out my phone then plug in my headphone and start to scroll through my music, I decide to listen to she will be loved, 'mine and Ashton's song'.
I stare at the blank tv screen for a while and I can tell Ashton is looking at me.
"Yes I am mad at you, before you ask" I say without looking at him and I feel him move closer. He takes one of my headphones out and tries to put it in his ear.
"What are you listening too?"he asks but I pull the headphone away from him and hold it tightly in my hand.
I hear him laugh.
"Your cute when your angry"
I still ignore him.
"Fine then, let's just sit here in silence then"
A small smile plays on my lips and I look out the corner of my eye at him. We exchange glances for a few seconds then I look back to the tv.
"I can kinda hear what your listening to by the way" he says.
I just shrug.
The chorus starts to play through my ears and I sing along in my head.
Ashton moves even close and then out of no where snatches my phone and my headphones fall out my ears.
"Ashton stop it" I dive on to him and try to grab it back, "give me my phone" I start to laugh and he pulls the headphones out so the music starts to play out load.
And she will, be loved, she will be loved.
We both stop and stare at each other.
"Your listening to our song?" He asks and I nod, still leaning over him. His whole face lights up as the music still plays in the background. I'm not sure whether Ashton turns it down or whether it's just because I'm so close to him everything else just seems to disappear. He starts to leans closer to me and for a split second his lips are pushed against mine.
I wanted that moment to last forever as his hands started to trail on to my back, pulling me closer.
But I couldn't, what about Jess.
I pull away from him and climb off of him and the sofa.
"Ashton we cant-"
"Bella I'm sorry I-"
"I'm going for a shower" I start to leave the room before I hear him shout my name.
I want to turn around and go kiss him again but this is wrong. I cant do this.
