Living Next To R5 (R5 Fanfic)

Counting Stars

Ross P.O.V (continued)

Ashley cried into my chest while I rubbed her back. I promised Riker he could trust me, and I ment it. But for some reason, I was getting deja vu of us dating.

"Can we lay down?" Ashley asked while wiping her eyes. "Yeah." I answered and began to lean back. "No." She grabbed my wrist and I understood.

We walked upstairs and into her room. She laid down first and I laid in the open space next to her. Face to face.

I stared closely at her face. Its definitely been awhile. I started to notice the little things about her face. Her cheekbones, freckles, the crease in her eyes when she cries. Then I started to hallucinate because her lips started to call my name.

I leaned in to kiss her then my eyes opened and I realized we fell asleep. But she looked exactly how she did in my dream. Beautiful.

I looked at my phone to see its been two hours. Our clothes are on so I guess we passed out as soon as we got up here. We wouldn't have done anything anyways. She loves Riker. She just...needs some comfort right now.
7 missed calls, 2 voicemails, 12 Texts.

I checked everything and its just constant information from Riker and Ryland. They are still looking for Ratliff. Riker texted me 10 out of the 12 times.
Hey
How's ash?
cant find him
#x
we stopped for a bit, why aren't you answering?
YOU PROMISED!!!
ross?!?!?!?!?
tell ashley I love her
still no sign of him
you there?

Ashley was laying close to me so I slid out of the bed slowly and walked downstairs to call Riker. "Hey." I started when I heard the ringing stop. "What the fuck?!" "Nothing happend. She went upstairs to sleep so I stayed on the couch and took a nap. She's fine." I lied. I paced in the living room. Just friends.

"I believe you. Anyways, there's no leads on him. We filed a report. Just DON'T tweet about this. The fans will flip. I'm sure he's okay.." Riker sounded really worried and I got a sick feeling in my stomach.  "Just keep me updated." "Stay awake!"

I ended the call and went back upstairs. I slid under the blanket and Ashley automatically opened her eyes. "Is everything okay?" "They haven't found him yet.." I answered. "Im just so scared, Ross.." I looked down at her and tried to smile. And then I saw her necklace.

Ashley P.O.V

"Isn't that the necklace Ratliff ripped off you that night we kissed?.." Ross asked me. He grabbed the necklace and placed it in his palm. The feeling of his hands against my neck make me quiver. "Yeah.." I answered sitting up. He let go of the necklace. "So what exactly happend right before we got here?" Ross was being so mature. He has been lately. Usually if he woke up next to me, he would take it as a sign of me wanting sex, but he was totally understanding that we are just friends. And I'm not sure if I'm upset about that or not; I'm too focused on Ellington.

"He gave me a box last week and I opened it today so Cat yelled at him because he gave me that necklace years ago when we had a thing but I left him for you so he took it back. And when he came over earlier, we made out and I told him I can't keep hurting Riker and he got mad and said 'I need you' and I said 'But I don't want you' even though I really really want him but I need him to stop because I also have feelings for you and I'm so confused." I said extremely fast then burst into tears again and Ross hugged me.

"I think you should break up with Riker." "What?" I let go of his grasp. "No, not like that. But you obviously aren't ready for commitment." "I am ready!" I shrieked and folded my arms. "So if I kissed you, you'd resist and tell me to get off." He smirked. "Absolutely. I pushed Ellington off." I answered.

He laid back down and faced the wall. I was expecting him to kiss me. I shrugged to myself and layed down. Two minutes later, Ross sat up, turned over, and leaned above me. "Don't." I said to him sternly.

He laughed and leaned in to kiss me.

One does not simply resist Ross fucking Lynch.
