Surfer Girl // A.I (completed)

seventeen

< Friday >

{ Tatum }

I haven't seen Ashton in almost a week. He's been busy in the studio and I've been doing things like doctors appointments, surf meetings, and getting all I needed for school.

Ashton's FaceTimed me every night though. We talk clear past midnight where I usually fall asleep. But he never gets mad. He stays on FaceTime and when I wake up, he's usually asleep on his end.  I know call us clingy.

With it being Friday night, Ashton was going out with his friends. I obviously can't go because of my leg- I'd just be miserable.

Since I can't go out, my friends and I were hanging out at home. We dragged blankets and pillows out onto the back deck and moved our outdoor couches around for a movie night on the tv we have hung up out there.

It just got dark and we put in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. That's the movies we decided to marathon. I was between Jasper and Elise. The three of us having Jasper's comforter over us.

It was kinda chilly tonight, but it's always chilly at night when you live on the beach. I was in sweats and one of Ashton's hoodies I'd stolen but was still cold.

Halfway through the movie, our back door opened and Ashton walked out. He was dressed to go out. Nice jeans and a polka dot button up. I smiled immediately, sitting up a little,

"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you all. I just wanted to see Tatum" he smiled,

"All good bro" Jasper laughed and moved over, letting Ashton sit down next to me,

"I thought you were going out?" I asked with a quick peck to his lips,

"I am. We're going to a club like 10 minutes from here" he smiled, "Plus I haven't seen my girl in a week"

I smiled and rested into his side,

"You're warm" I mumbled and nuzzled my head onto his chest. He chuckled and wrapped his arm around me to hold me close.

"Do you need anything before I leave?" He asked like there wasn't four people who get me what I need,

"I'm okay Ash" I laughed. He nodded and stood,

"I'll see you soon" he pecked my lips,

"You can spend the night tonight if you want" I told him, his lips ghosting mine,

"I'll spend the night then. I'll see you in a while" he nodded, kissing me again, then saying 'bye' to everyone.

"You guys are cute" Calihan fake gagged. I just rolled my eyes and went back to the movie.

****

During the second movie, we were all falling asleep. We figured we'd call it a night. I hobbled up to my room, no longer needing to use my crutches but still having my legs stuck stright in the brace, and got in bed, making sure Ashton would have a pillow when he'd show up.

My door slightly pushed open and Calihan stuck his head in,

"Hey, I left the door unlocked. Just tell Ashton to lock it when he comes in" he smiled,

"I will" I nodded,

"I'm guessing he took an Uber from here because his car is in the driveway" Calihan shrugged,

"I'd rather him do that than drive after drinking" I nodded.

Calihan left and I texted Ashton. I plugged my phone in and pulled my covers up, closing my eyes.

****

The sound of my door shutting made me jump awake, squinting trying to see in the dark,

"Sorry baby" Ashton's voice spoke,

"It's okay" I spoke back, barely awake.

He came closer and pulled his clothes off, leaving him in his boxers. He climbed in my bed and kissed me. I could taste the alcohol on his lips, but he wasn't drunk, just a tiny bit tipsy.

"Goodnight" he shuffled next to me and laid his arm over my body. I smiled and grabbed his hand and closed my eyes falling back to sleep.

< Morning >

I woke first. Ashton was asleep next to me and snoring, loudly. I shuffled and grabbed my phone off my side table, unlocking it and going to my social media. Instagram was mainly surf stuff like always along with a picture Sierra posted of her and Luke last night.

Then I moved to Twitter and my eyes widened. I was getting tagged in hundreds of things. I get tagged in quite a few things for surfing but nothing to this extent. So I clicked on one and I wanted to shoot the man sleeping next to me.

It was a picture of Ashton and this girl. This girl was all up on him. There was a video of them dancing and this girl grinding on him. It was everywhere and it was obvious it was taken last night.

I put my phone on my lap and sat up,

"Wake your ass up!" I yelled and hit Ashton. He jolted up, looking confused as I kept hitting his arm. Tears were pooling in my eyes,

"Why are you hitting me?" he squealed and grabbed my hand as I glared,

"Who's the other girl?" I didn't dodge the question,

"What are you talking about?" He asked, now fully sitting up and looking at my eyes, "Baby, what's going on?"

I grabbed my phone and tossed it on his lap. He started frantically darting his eyes and shaking his head,

"Baby, I swear to God nothing happened. She came up to me and I kept pushing her off. I told her I had a girlfriend. She was with a bunch of friends and they were all taking pictures and stuff" he pleaded. I looked away from him,

"Tatum, I would never cheat on you or hurt you. I swear that to you. She came onto me and I pushed her away. These pictures and videos were taking the moment she got on me. I pushed her away but the video obviously cut. She was all on Calum too. You can ask anyone" he rambled, grabbing my hands and making my eyes look into his.

He was being honest. I could tell. His eyes were even watering,

"Okay" I sighed, "I believe you" I told him,

"I care way to much about you and this relationship to do anything to ruin it" he told me, leaning forward, wanting a kiss. I kissed him and he hugged me, pulling back and grabbing his phone off the floor. He went straight to Twitter and posted a long thing clearing things up.

"Baby, I'm sorry" he told me,

"It's okay. It's something I'm gonna have to get used too. It's a different type of publicity than I'm used too" I told him, now feeling horrible for over reacting.

"Make up cuddle?" Ashton pouted. I laughed and nodded and moved down into his hold,

"Make up cuddle is good"
