Noisy Neighbours (The Midnight Beast Fanfic)

Part 14: Ash - 'Loverboy'

A/N: Been a bit unmotivated (and just a bit lazy) to write this - I do apologise for not updating in MONTHS. It's actually embarassing, but better late than never, right?

It's a bit of a lacking chapter, but hopefully it's okay. It's not been proof-read, so definitely watch out for mistakes - enjoy! Cheers to reading, your votes & comments on the previous chapters have been very much appreciated! :D

Loveya!

We were all sitting together in Natalie, Maisie and Jay's flat, stuffing our faces with pizza and watching The X Factor. Jay and Nathan, Charlotte and Dru, Natalie and me.

And Maisie and Stef. Unbelieveable. I know.

"Oh my God, it's District 3!" Jay yelled, pointing at the TV and shushing us.

"Fuck yeah!" Nathan and I both shouted, as we snatched at our phones. I sensed Natalie reading over my shoulder as I sped-typed a text. DISTRICT 3 ON X FACTOR - FUCK YEAH!

"The groups this year are amazing," Natalie said, and I nodded. Definitely. District 3 were amazing. Union J, maybe a bit too One Direction-ey for my taste, but undoubtedly they could sing and harmonise. MK1 were beyond cool - plus they could rap the hell out of anything.

"I know, right?" said Jay as she rapidly stabbed at her phone. Nathan peered over her shoulder and doubled over in peals of laughter. We all simultaneously checked our Twitter feeds and found such a typical Jay tweet. @District3Music: AAAAAH OMG YOU WERE SO SO AMAZING I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!!!! <3 Mrs Ferarri-Lane<3

There was an ad break so everybody went for a pee, whilst Natalie and I started to clear up some of the takeaway remains. I thought about asking her out.

"Do you want to go out for a meal sometime soon?" I asked as casually as I could, shoving a box into the bin.

"Sure! When?"

I shrugged and suggested a date, pointing to it on the calendar app on my phone. I wasn't quite sure if I was free, but I could easily make it free.

She was my girlfriend, people!

"I've actually got a family dinner then, my mum's birthday," she said apologetically.

I nodded and shrugged, before turning round to face me. "Can I come?" I said.

Okay, what the hell?

Talk about rude, right? What the hell was up with me? I sounded like a total freak, a party gatecrasher! And who gatecrashes their girlfriend's mother's party?!

Clearly me.

And then from out of nowhere, I added, "Can't wait to meet the inlaws!"

Okay, that was the final straw. I could've sworn some freak had overtaken my brain. But that wasn't the case. And therefore I had no excuse. Why am I so embarassing?! I yelled to myself inside my head.

And plus, we'd been dating for a FORTNIGHT. TWO BLOODY WEEKS.

I mean, I loved her, but even I could admit technically I barely knew her.

But my facial expression was pretty composed. Hers, on the otherhand, was motherfucking hilarious. Her jaw was just about touching the floor in shock. It was obvious she had no idea what to say. In honesty, neither would have I if I were in her situation. I couldn't help to pull a smirk.

"I take that as a yes then!"

Wait, was that ME? AGAIN?

Okay, that was enough cheek for a day?
