Witness- Ashton Irwin

Lunch Continued

Ashton's POV
When Lola spaced out for a moment, I grew concerned. But she quickly recovered and kissed me, so I brushed it off.

It felt nice to just be somewhere all you could hear is birds. Being on tour, all I see is my 3 best friends and they get pretty loud and sometimes gets annoying. But being alone with Lola felt like a vacation from all that.

"Where does this trail lead ?" Lola asked as we walked hand in hand down the foresty path.

Her hand felt warm in mine and I honestly never wanted to let it go. You see it was hard to find love with what I do. I'm almost always busy with band stuff.

"It actually leads to a secluded part of the beach where no one really goes. Feel adventurous ?" I asked smirking.

She smiled holding back a laugh. She was so beautiful. Her gray eyes glistening in the sunlight peaking through the trees.

"Sure. Why not ?" Lola replied and we continued on our way.

When we got to the end of the trail, I stopped seeming to startle Lola a bit. In the bushes just up ahead I could see a Pap aka paparazzi just waiting to ambush us.

"Let's go this way." I said leading her through the trees.

"Why ?" She asked confused.

"The Paparazzi are hiding in a bush by the exit." I said.

Lola's POV

"Let's go this way." Ashton said leading me towards the trees off the beaten path.

"Why ?" I asked confused.

"The Paparazzi are hiding in a bush by the exit." He said and that made my eyes widen.

I couldn't let them get a picture of me ! Not when I'm trying to stay hidden !

So I let him lead me through the trees trying not to panic. But nothing would happen, right ? Relax Ellie that horrible man has no idea you're here !

"Where are we going ?" I asked. "Or are we just kinda running blindly ?"

"Don't worry, we won't get lost." He said as we made it into a clearing with trees and no sign of people.

Was he sure he knew this area ? We wandered around and seem to go in circles. It was becoming evident we got ourselves lost.

"Okay, I have no idea where we are." Ashton said sheepishly.

I sighed but tried to suppress a giggle as I sat down on a log laying on the ground. Ashton sees that I'm trying not to laugh and sits down next to me.

"Maybe you should call your band mates ? Maybe they can send someone out here to find us ?" I said.

Ashton checked his phone and tried to call Luke. He didn't answer, he tried Michael. Didn't answer, then Calum who also didn't answer.

"I'll try our manager." He said as he dialed.

Guess what ? Didn't answer either !

"So I guess we're on our own." I said. "Come on. Let's find a way out."

We wander some more and somehow found our way out. It was a relief. Ashton's phone rings and he quickly answers it.

"Hello ?" He says. "Yes I was calling to say I got lost but we found our way out."

"Yes I'm with Lola." He continued. "No we did not."

His conversation with whichever band mate it was consisted of this. I loved the expressions he made when talking on the phone.

"Okay, yeah I'll do that. Bye." He said as he hung up. "Sorry that was Michael, apparently they all were skinny dipping in the ocean."

Skinny dipping in the ocean ?

"Wow. Well that explains them not answering."
I replied. "Did they ask you to go ?"

Ashton laughed running his hand through his hair.

"Yeah but I'm perfectly content here with you." He said, I blushed as we made our way onto the beach.

I took off my shoes and just sunk my feet into the warm sand. There was something about beaches that made me so calm.

"You wanna go swimming ?" He asked suddenly. "I know we don't have suits but we could just swim in our underwear."

I blushed so hard when he said underwear I've never really gotten super intimate with a guy. The closest I got with my ex was his hand hiking up my dress.

"Aren't you worried the papz might see us ?" I asked laughing trying to hide the nerves that were creeping up on me.

"Don't worry babe I promise their gone." He said, I didn't see anyone hiding nearby but photographers could take photos from miles away and still sell them.

When I didn't answer he put his finger under my chin and turned my head up to look at him.

"Hey, I promise you'll be safe." Ashton assured me.

I smiled, no guy has ever treated me the way Ashton does. Even though we haven't known each other long, I felt like I could trust him.

"Okay but let's be quick." I said and he cheered and lifted me up spinning me around before claiming my lips in a soft kiss.

We went off towards the water and stripped our clothes off, I silently thanked myself for wearing a nice bra and panties.

After Ashton had stripped into his underwear, he grabbed my hand and we ran towards the waves the water soaking our bare skin. When we got deep enough we stopped.

"This is nice." I said wrapping my arms around his neck.

The waves almost knocked me off my feet but he caught me and I wrapped my legs around him to keep from being pulled away.

"Don't worry I've got you." He said, our faces inches apart.

We kissed again, slow and gentle. The taste of salt water on the tip of my tongue as ours danced together in our mouths.

"What time you have to be back at the hotel ?" I asked as our lips parted.

"Soon unfortunately, we got to be at the arena early tomorrow morning for tomorrow's show." Ashton replied.

I didn't want this day to end but I knew it had to. I kissed him one more time before speaking.

"You should get back now then. I know you need your rest and I don't want to keep you." I said, he cradled my cheek in his hand and lightly kissed my forehead.

"Yeah.. but I want you to come to the show tomorrow. Can you ?" Ashton asked.

"I don't have tickets.." I replied.

"I'll get you and your friend backstage passes so you can hang after the show." He said. "So what do you say ?"

I nodded my head yes.

"Okay. I'll go." I said.

We got out of the water and quickly retrieved our clothes.

"See you tomorrow." He said and we parted ways.

This still didn't feel real.
