Forbidden - Lashton

Chapter 16 - ashton

"Ashton, hey," Luke said, walking up to me and grabbing my arm to get my attention. It's been a month since we last talked. We had another argument that was mostly caused by me. I had called Luke annoying and ended up hurting his feelings. I didn't mean to. My head has been filled with so many thoughts. I wish it would go away. He kept coming up to me and talking to me and got me annoyed by the minute. I wanted to be alone, why couldn't he see that?

I looked and him and apologized for saying all those mean words to him. He told me It was okay and we continued to talk as if the argument we had never happened. We went back to each other and gave each other countless amount of kisses. I gave him a million reasons why he shouldn't love me and I gave him a million reasons why he shouldn't come back to me as if he misses me and wouldn't trade me for the world but he always gave me an answer I'd knew he says.

I smile back at him as we held hands. "You're wonderful," I say to him.

"You're just as wonderful as I am. I practically confessed my love for you two times in a row before we made it secretly official."

"I know. I was in denial. As you know, in four years, I will be praised as your king. I was so worked up about it even the townfolks want me to get together with someone, a queen."

I stepped back from and sighed. He frowned at the sight and walked closer to me, taking my hand again. "It's okay. You have me now and I'll always be there for you if you need me. I want you to be happy."

Happy? I'm more than just happy. He's all I could've asked for and I'm so grateful. I leaned on him so our foreheads would be touching. I kissed him again. I couldn't stop kissing him and he wouldn't stop either. We were attached to one another. I stopped and whispered to him so close, "You're my happiness." and then went back to kissing him. I wrap my arms around him and he had his arms wrapped around me except he had his hands in my hair and I loved the way he would push me closer.

I must say, even if we were mad at each other for the smallest times, I could never hate-hate him. He was the one that kept me going and told me honest opinions about me. I didn't smile as much before I met him but when I did, he always told me to smile more because it was worth the world. No one ever told me something like that to me before.

That made the moment special.

It was when I found nothing great about myself. Luke told me there was something great about me, I just couldn't see it as he did. I asked him what was it then. It took seconds for him to think about it all in one sentence before he turned to me and looked me in the eye and said, "You're one of the most awesome and coolest guys I've ever met in my life. I don't think I've ever doubted you ever since we became friends and even more than that. You're so talented in your own way. You always seem to be the leader where ever you go and I admire that. Everyone's smile is important and so, therefore, your smile is important."                          

I never felt happier about something in my life before. Those words made me think that there's someone out there in the world who appreciates every little thing about you.  It was hard to believe before I met him.

We snuck out at night to spend more time together and I could never forget about those nights. I woke up every morning wishing last night didn't have to go away so fast. I wanted him to be curled up with me, holding each other, feeling the embrace of each other, and finally thinking everything was gonna be okay. He loved it when I trailed my fingers along his arm and tracing patterns. I loved it when he made me think about him all night and make me feel stuff I wouldn't normally feel.
