"So you and Ashton are dating now?" Samantha popped another piece of popcorn in her mouth, laying on her stomach on my bed.

I shook my head. "Not technically. Neither of us has asked."

She squinted. "So he claimed you as his, but you aren't dating?"

"I don't know!" I threw my arms into the air, exasperated.

I fell back with my arms out, my back landing on my bed.

"Any other stories?" Samantha nudged my shoulder. "I'm interested in your boy drama."

"Why is it so interesting?" I questioned.

She shrugged. "I don't have any boy drama for myself, so I make it my duty to piggyback off of yours."

I giggled. "Duty."

"You are such a child," she laughed, swatting at my arm.

"Who's such a child?"

Samantha and I turned around, where Ashton was propped up in my doorway.

"Can I help you?" I asked sarcastically.

He chuckled. "Just wanted to take my girl out for the day."

"Since when am I your girl?" I joked.

Ashton blushed. "Uh, I...Um."

"You're cute when you blush," I grinned.

"She's just saying you never asked her out," Samantha told him in a duh voice.

His eyes widened. "Oh, um... Melody, will you be my girlfriend?" The words tumbled out of his mouth.

I raised my eyebrows before walking over to him. "I'd love to."

He grinned, his face still flushed red. I leaned forward and quickly pecking his lips.

"I'm gonna change first," I looked down at my mini pink shorts and a baggy shirt. "but what about Samantha?"

I looked back at my friend who shrugged. "I'll live. Netflix is calling me!" She rolled off my bed and grabbed my laptop.

I stepped out of my closet after changing into a t-shirt and jeans and walked arm and arm with Ashton to his car.

"So where are we going?" I turned to him curiously.

He shot me a grin. "Burger King."

I stared at him unimpressed. "Burger King?"

"What, I'm hungry!"

I shook my head and laughed.

We slid into the car and started driving to Burger King, which was just ten minutes away.

"You know, I used to work at Burger King," I said randomly.

He looked at me out of the corner of his eye. "Really?"

I nodded. "But then I got the job as a photographer at the place downtown."

He hummed. "What do you normally take pictures of?"

"I used to just take pictures of flowers and stuff for this florist, but I eventually moved onto family portraits. Turns out, my constant picture taking habits pay off," I laughed.

Ashton steered the wheel around as we backed into a tight parking space in front of the fast food place.

"No drive-thru?" I looked at him curiously.
