Sixty-Seven Through Seventy Reasons Why

*Day Twenty-One*

Annabelle POV

After we handed out all the presents to everyone before they leave, Ash and I fell asleep in my bed. It's now Friday, the day I meet Ashton's family.

We are planning on leaving campus at around five, so we can be there at five thirty. Enough time to get settled and have dinner. It's currently four forty-five. Since Ash slept with me last night, he runs over to his dorm to get ready.

Jenna is gone, and so is Meghan. Amelia is on her date with Michael, and I'm not sure if Luke or Cal are here. I can't ask them for help though, so I'm alone.

I rummage through my closet and find a dress that would be perfect. It is simple and purple that's right around the waist. I put on some combat boots with it and an owl necklace. My hair is perfectly straight, so I just brush it and leave it be. For my make up I don't like to use a lot, just some mascara and eyeliner. I brush my teeth and I'm ready to go.

At a perfect time, too. Ashton knocks on my door, wearing skinny jeans, as usual and he smiles.

"That's perfect. Are you ready to go?"

"Yes I am." Ashton picks up my bag and carries it to his car. We climb in and we're off to his house.

Just as promised, it doesn't take long at all. We get there within twenty to thirty minutes. Ashton parks his car and grabs my luggage, giving me a reassuring smile before knocking. Moments later, a small boy around ten or eleven answers and his face lights up.

"Ashton!" The boy yells. I'm going to go on a limb and say it's his brother, Harry.

"Hey, buddy. How've you, been?" Ashton asks him, kneeling down to his size.

67. Loves his family

"Really good! Come inside." The boy runs away and Ashton smiles at me. I walk in, following Ash's lead. He takes me to the kitchen where there's and older lady and a girl, who I'm going to say is his mother, and Lauren.

"Mom, Lauren!" Ashton the both of them, leaving me with the luggage. "Guys, I would like you all to meet my beautiful girlfriend, Annabelle. She likes to be called Belle." I smile and hold out my hand for them to shake.

"Hi, Belle, it's so lovely to meet you."

"You too. Ash has told me many great things about you."

"The same with you! I'm his mother, as you could probably tell. You can just call me Anne. Kids, introduce yourselves."

"I'm Lauren and I'm 14." She smiles.

"I'm Harry and I'm 10."

"And I'm Ashton. I'm 20." Ashton says and holds out his hand for me to shake. I roll my eyes and play along, shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Ashton." He stiffly nods his head.

68. Goofy

"Alright, now Ash, take her to your room. I'm hoping you don't mind sleeping in the same room?"

"No, Mum." Ash says and takes my luggage up the stairs, me following suit. Once we get upstairs, I find myself in a boyish looking room. "You're doing great, I promise you, Belle." Ash says.

"Thank you. Your mother seems really nice."

"She is. I can already tell she loves you." He starts to walk closer to me, until our foreheads are touching. Ashton leans in and I close my eyes. Sooner than later, our lips touch. They're moving in sync, but sooner than longer, he pulls away. "C'mon, let's get downstairs." He takes my hand and pulls me back down the stairs.

"Oh great, you're back!" Anne says.

"Do you need help with anything?" I ask. Anne smiles at me.

"Thank you, honey, but we literally just finished."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Don't be. Now, let's eat." Ashton sits at the table and I follow him, sitting next to him.

"I told them you like Pepsi." Ash says.

"Thank you." I say. They made meatloaf, mac and cheese, and green bean casserole.

"So, Belle, how old are you?"

"I'm nineteen."

"And when is your birthday?"

"August 19."

"Ashton told me you go to college with him. What are you studying?"

"Mum, cool it." Ashton says.

"No, it's fine. I study journalism."

"Do you want to be a journalist?"

"I want to do something around journalism. I know that you can get many jobs with that degree, so I signed up."

"It sounds lovely." Anne smiles. I put a bite of food in my mouth.

"This is delicious, Anne." I say.

"Oh, why thank you, dear."

We continue to eat, and after dinner, I offer to help with dishes while Ashton catches up with his brother and sister.

69. Spends time with family

"So, how is your relationship with my son?"

"It's good. We only started dating on Tuesday, but we were friends before that."

"He's a sweet boy, isn't he?"

"Yeah, he really is."

"He always treated his girlfriends well."

70. Good boyfriend

"I bet he did."

"You know, Belle, I can tell he really loves you. It's in his eyes. His eyes sparkle when he looks at you. Same with you. Your eyes are a dead giveaway."

I thought about what she said. He loves me? I love him, but does he love me?

You know what they say. Mother knows best.
