The Accidental Tag (Ashton Irwin) 5SOS

Picnics and Confessions

River's P.O.V.
I looked at my phone to check the time
10:30 am
"SHIT IM GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK"
I jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom, throwing my hair up into a pony tail and then scrambling to find my toothbrush "where are you, you little fucker" I heard someone ring the doorbell so I yelled "MOM CAN YOU GET THAT IM A LITTLE CAUGHT UP" I finally saw my toothbrush, which had fallen into the sink without my notice, so I grabbed it, And started brushing my teeth.

A few minutes later once I finished my make-up and got dressed into appropriate job clothes, which in this case was a pair of skinny jeans and an all time low shirt, as I was walking out of the bathroom my mom yelled "RIVER YOU HAVE A VISITOR"
Well that's weird I mean the only person that would be a visitor was Maria, but she's already at work so I yelled downstairs "MOM I HAVE TO GO TO WORK"
"HONEY"
"YES MOM"
"TODAYS SATURDAY"
Oh my fucking God
I never had work today
I woke up at 10:30 am
And got ready for work
That was never gonna happen today
"HOLD ON A SECOND MOM"
I shut my door
And just lost it
"AGH WHAT THE FUCK I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO GET OUT OF BED TO DAY"
After a few more seconds of having a tantrum I opened my door and headed downstairs to see who was my "visitor" even if I didn't have work today, mom would never call Maria a "visitor"
I walked downstairs and came face to face with the one person I didn't expect

Ashton.

"Hi honey this young man said he came to pick you up"
"Uh hi river I was hoping you got my text"
I looked at him confused and said
"Really? I don't think that I go-"
I cut myself off by the sound of my phone dinging. I looked to see Ashton smirking at me
"Alright well you two get out of here, young man please have her back by 11:00"
"Tonight?!"
I was shocked, I'd never had a boy over and I figured she would be more strict
" river can I just talk to you for a second"
My mom pulled me into the living room as Ashton quietly sat on the stairs
"Look, river I think that Ashton is a very bright young man and I know that you have never really had experience with a boy like this before, but I can tell he really likes you, I know for a fact he will be nothing like your father"
"Thank you mom, your blessing means the world to me"
"Anything for you, now go! He's waiting for you"
I hugged my mom and grabbed my hoodie. Ashton stood up and smiled
"Ready to go River?"
"Ready as I'll ever be"
We walked out the front door and into his....pick-up truck?
"Yeah I know, I've always been a sucker for pick-up trucks"
"Looks like America is rubbing off on you"

He laughed and opened the door of the pick-up for me
"After you"
I giggled and stepped into the passenger seat
"So where to captain?"
"Oh it's a surprise"
We drove in silence for about 5 minutes until he spoke up
"So River tell me about your family"
"Well right now it's just my mom and my older brother is 23"
"And your dad?"
"Uh well we don't really like to talk about him"
Ashton furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes filled with concern and understanding
He grabbed my hand and squeezed it reassuringly
"We dont have to talk about it if you dont want to ok?"
I looked at him sympathetically and nodded
"So how's school going?" he said, awkwardly changing the subject
I chuckled and said
"Well I'm a senior and I'm an A and B student"
"Wow Beautiful ,Funny ,and Smart. I really hit the jackpot"
I blushed and looked down at my feet.
It dumbfounded me how Ashton thought he was the lucky one, but it also made my stomach do somersaults.
"Well here we are"
i looked out the window to see a huge field filled with bright blue flowers that went on for acres "Ashton this is beautiful how did you find this" Ashton smiled, obviously proud of himself "Well on the way to our hotel, we drove by this field. We wanted to stop but we just didn't have the time"

I hugged Ashton and I could feel him blush furiously "Thank you Ash, this means a lot, now come on dork" I opened the door and hopped out of the car. Just looking at all the flowers was so relaxing, it was like being inside a painting "Enjoying the view?" He chuckled "you have no idea" I replied, still mesmerized by the almost never ending landscape
After a few more seconds I was snapped out of my trance by the sound of Ashton clearing his throat to get my attention. "I hope your up for a picnic" I jumped in excitement "HELL YEAH IM UP FOR A PICNIC" Ash grabbed the cooler and a light blue checkered blanket, along with a frisbee, bubbles, and Polaroid camera. I giggled as Ashton fumbled, trying to hold everything by himself. "Ash this isn't the 50s, the man doesn't have to do everything" so I grabbed the blanket and the cooler.
"Better?"
"Way better"
We walked into the field and laid down the blanket "alright Ashton what kind of five star meal did you make today?" He laughed and looked into the cooler "Well we have delightful carbonated beverages that go by the name "Pepsi" and we also have the chefs special"
"May I ask what the chefs special is good sir"
"Well, malady the chefs special is strips of cut deli meat, with slices of bread imported from an American factory"
"So ham sandwiches?" I asked raising an eyebrow, with a smirk "yeah pretty much"
After eating we took the frisbee and threw it around for a while, until we got bored cause you know, it's a frisbee, then he decided that while I was playing with the bubble wand he would take a photoshoot starring guess who.
"ASH WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING"
He laughed lightly and smirked "well you have to take pictures of the models right?" "I look awful ash I've been out all day and my hair is a me-"
"I think you look beautiful, everyday all the time"
I blushed furiously Ashton made me feel so great and he didn't even have to try. He walked up to me with the camera hanging around his toned neck. He snaked his hand gently around my waist and pulled me close, our faces inches apart. "River I don't want to play this game anymore.I know we just met and we should try and slow down but I don't think I can, I just I knew that you were perfect the minute I saw that photo of you. You were, and still are my dream girl and I want to make my move before it's too late. So River, will you be my girlfriend?" I stared into his pure hazel eyes for a moment, letting his words sink in. I placed my hand in his cheek and he held it with his hand "Do I have permission to kiss you Mr.Irwin?" I looked up at him with a smirk on my face. He returned the smirk and shrugged his shoulders "sure why not" he chuckled as he leaned in for the kiss. His lips were soft and his jawline was soft from aftershave. Here I was in the middle of a field full of flowers, at sunset, kissing the guy of my dreams, and not because he's rich and famous, I always thought he was probably sweet and loving and romantic, but boy was I wrong. He was 1000 times better. As we both pulled away to catch our breath, he smiled "so I'm guessing you'll take up my offer?" I laughed softly "I think so"
