Loving Secrets: An Ashton Irwin Fanfiction

Chapters 9

"Well we can't delay boys. We have an interview at 2! Let's go!" Michael says excitedly and him and Calum run racing each other onto the bus. Luke takes his sweet time walking to the bus and lazily climbs in. Before I get on the bus Ashton turns around and looks at me.

"It's weird getting on the bus and not having to kiss you goodbye." He says smiling.

"It's a good weird though." I say leaning and kissing him.

"COME ONE! LETS GO LOVE BIRDS!" Calum says sticking his head out of the bus door. Ash and I laugh and he helps me climb up onto the bus. I had only ever seen the bus from the outside and the inside looked exactly like it did in all the photos and keeks. The small kitchen area, the mini hall of bunks, and then the back room with the couch and television. Ashton takes me by the hand and guides me to the bunks. He stops at one directly in front and to the right of the backroom.

"This my dear is my bunk." He says smiling as he throws his suitcase on top of it. "And your bunk is right here." He says turning around and pointing to the bunk directly opposite from it.

"That used to be Luke's bunk but Ashton kicked him out because he'd rather wake up and see your face rather than Luke's" Michael says and Ashton sends him a stern look. But Michael just giggles and smiles at him.

"I've been downgraded to another bunk." Luke says. I smiled but I felt kind of bad about kicking him out of his spot. All of a sudden the bus starts to move and the guys give a cheer.

"Yay! We are off!" Cal says as he lays down on his bunk playing on his phone. All the other guys are laying on their beds and Luke has even fallen back asleep with his headphones in. Asthon grabs me and we go to the back room closing the door behind us. I sit on the couch resting my head against his chest as he runs his fingers through my still damp hair.

"Look at us. Touring together." He says smiling at me and his cheeks get red.

"I know. I never could've imagined any of this. It feels like yesterday I was standing in the front row." I smile and I feel Ashton's grip become tighter around me.

"Now you'll be backstage watching from the sidelines." He says kissing me on the head. I lean in closer to him and I can feel his steady heartbeat.

"Do you ever get tired of doing interviews?" I ask him since I knew he had one today.

"No interviews are fun. I just wish sometimes they'd ask us different questions. It seems like sometimes you're answering the same questions it's just a different person asking them." He says.

"Do you ever wish they asked you personal things?" I ask.

"Sometimes yeah. But at the same time I'm happy they don't. The fans already know so much and there are some things you want to keep as your own you know." 

"Like what?"

 "Just certain things." He says quietly.

"Things you couldn't tell me?" I say placing my hand on this thigh and rubbing it lightly.

"Things I just need to keep to myself." He says quickly and shakily. I didn't know what that meant. I obviously knew that Ashton hadn't told me everything about himself but I wish sometimes he was more open about things so that i could help him like he helps me.

"If you want to keep them. You keep them." I say with a sigh as I lean up and kiss him on the cheek.

"Hmmm" he says and I rest my head back on his chest. He turns on the tv and flips through the channels. Friends is on so I ask him to stop there. He seems kind of distracted and takes out his phone, probably tweeting or something. Then the slider separating the back room and the bunks opens and Calum walks in with his phone in hand.
