Chapter 8: High on Life

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peyton's Diary:

"Woah. Wasn't expecting that." Ashton said.

Well. This should be interesting.

"Sooo?" Matt looked at Ashton expectantly.

The next few minutes went by slowly. Each one of us waiting for Ashton's reply.

"AWWW THIS IS SO ADORABLE MY LITTLE MATTY IS GROWING UP. GETTING HIMSELF A BOYFRIEND. IM SO PROUD OF YOU!" Ashton practically yelled and launched himself at Matt, tackling him into a bear hug.

And while they were embracing each other's warmth, Ben and I were just standing there awkwardly, not wanting to ruin the moment.

But they have to stop some time.

"Are you guys finished? Some of us would like to actually spend time with their boyfriends." Ben said.

"Fine. Just don't hurt him. He's precious." Ashton replied, while stroking Matt's face.

"Ashtooooonnnn staaahhhhpppp."

"NEVER!"

"Guys. Both of you stop. Ashton we should give this couple their privacy." I said.

"Fine. Have fun you two, but not too much fun. Don't forget to use protection!" He said while I dragged him out the door.

"Ashton why do you do this to me?!?!" Matt called out just as the door was closing.

"Jeez Ashton. You're even worse than those over protective mums. And they're pretty bad."

"I will take that as a compliment thank you very much."

"You are so weird. Seriously, what are you on?

"I am high on life! Because life is beautiful! But not as beautiful as you."

Wow. This dude is crazy. Why the I hell do I have a crush on him? Oh yeah. That's right. He's perfect!

Wait a minute. Hold up. Did he just call me beautiful?

"What? You think I'm beautiful?"

Okay now I'm seriously confused. Why would he think I'm beautiful? I look like a swamp monster that has just crawled out from the depths of the sewer.

"Of course I do. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life."

I can honestly say that this guy is going to be the death of me.

I'm speechless. No one has ever said anything like that to me before. Apart from Ben, but I knew he was lying the whole time.

Come on Peyton. Say something. You probably look like a fish with your mouth open like that.

"I... Umm... Err... Thanks."

Real smooth. That was just amazing. Well done genius. A round of applause everyone for the smoothest person on earth.

And to make matters worse...

"Are you blushing?" Ashton asked me.

Shit! Face, why must you do this to me? Why?! This was the most perfect moment until my face decided to become a freaking tomato.

"What? Me? Blushing? Pfft. No."

"Oh mi gawsh you are! Aww little Peytie is blushing at something a boy said to her. Too cute!" He said in a high-pitched voice.
