Ashton's p.o.v
I had to. I couldn't resist the temptation. Seeing her smile and hearing her quirky remarks just made me addicted. I love everything about her, her laugh, her smile, those eyes, but most of all, the way she doesn't judge anyone. She could have easily pushed me away and made me no part of her life, but she didn't. She accepted me. She gave me a chance to prove who I really am. I had to kiss her and hope for no rejection.

She walked up to me, nearly pressed against me in the small space. This was the moment. Her smile distracted any other thoughts.

I put my hand on her hip, the other pushing her chin up, so I could ask, starting into those beautiful eyes, "What did I do to deserve you?"

And after those words, I smiled before pressing my lips against hers, Finally.

She didn't reject. She accepted the gesture. The kiss was sweet and warm. I could tell her feelings were genuine, she intended to kiss me. I couldn't lie saying this was the best moment of my life. Knowing someone actually appreciated my existence and wanting to be a part of it.

Sadly the kiss came to an end, I pulled away knowing it couldn't last much longer. She just smiled. Her perfect smile that warms my heart. Yet I couldn't stop convincing myself that she doesn't have feelings for me, and that she only did this to be nice.

"Are you alright?" Abby asked, noticing my frown, due to my thoughts.

"I'm not good enough for you," I replied.

"Just shut up and kiss me, ya loser," she said, and I knew she was being playful and she actually did want that kiss.

So I kissed her again. The sparks lit up once more. Her moist lips against mine was all I needed to keep me breathing. She gave me hope that I wasn't a failure after all.

End of Chapter 17

I've decided that Ashy is the official ship name for Abby and Ashton!
