I wash the dishes with the sponge, trying to get a huge piece of melted cheese off the plate.

"Alex, it won't come off" I complain, not wanting to do this anymore since I've been doing it for the past five minutes.

"Well, Calum's not going to do it, I tried forcing him too" Alex shrugs as he takes off his white apron.

"Calum!" I call out from the kitchen, loud enough for him to hear me.

The entrance of the kitchen opens and I see Calum and someone I've been avoiding for a few days.

Ashton.

I quickly turn my head to face the wall but Ashton probably already knows it's me.

"Yeah?" Calum says as he stands next to me "Can you get this cheese off this plate?" I ask him as I slightly turn my head to look at him.

"Let Ashton do it, I, uh, have to go to the bathroom" He makes up an excuse so he doesn't have to do it, he hates doing anything that involves the dishes.

"But-" I stop talking once he exits the kitchen and huff and start scrubbing the chunk of cheese off the plate.

Which, is still not coming off.

"Here, let me do it" Ashton's soft but raspy voice insists as he comes closer to me.

"It's fine" I mumble, continuing to scrub the certain spot on the plate.

His chest is really, really close to my back and I turn around completely before he actually touches me.

"I'll do it" I tell him "It's alright" I add, but it comes out more as a breath because he is so close to me.

He looks down at me, and his hand is placed beside me.

"I, um, have to get back to work" I mutter, getting a bit breathless and I haven't even done anything.

He's just really close, in my defence.

I turn around again but Ashton's arms go around me and his hands are placed on my wrists making me freeze in place.

What is he doing?

I hate admitting this, but it feels nice.
Their is somewhat the feeling of belonging that bothers me only because it is coming from him.

"What are you doing?" I whisper, he didn't say anything, he just gently turns me around to face him and his face is inches from mine.

He leans in a little before I stop him "No, Ashton" I say and move away.

He has a confused look on his face "Can we at least talk about it?" I shake my head as I back up until my back hits the door, thinking it would open.

But I forgot that Alex locks this door when he goes home.

I look down, embarrassed, I really thought it was going to open.

A smile breaks out onto his lips, I hang my head down and scurry off to the door that across the room, grabbing my belongings.

"Rosemarie--" I cut him off "No and don't call me Rosemarie" I groan and quickly walk out.
