Surfer Girl // A.I (completed)

< Thursday >

{ Tatum }

Thursday's are one of my favorite days of the week because right after class, I go to Ashton's. He's always got dinner and a shower ready when I get there and will willingly stay up with me until I finish my homework, even if it's 1 am. Then in the morning, he's got coffee ready for when I go to class, but luckily tomorrow they canceled class.

I pulled into Ashton's driveway and parked next to his car. I climbed out of my Jeep and opened the back door, grabbing my bag. I had to put my doors back on because it was getting colder.

As soon as I walked into the house, I could smell food and could hear Ashton singing Nickleback. I went and put my bag in his room and walked back to the kitchen, hugging my boyfriend from behind,

"Hey" he chuckled, "I didn't even hear you come in"

"Probably because you were singing" I giggled, looking around his body to his face- seeing it now bright red,

"It was good. Nickleback should consider you in their band" I teased,

"Okay whatever" he rolled his eyes, then kissed me softly, "Go sit. Dinners ready"

Ashton brought two plates over and sat across from me as we ate. Ashton literally is such a good cook. Tonight we had this Italian chicken with vegetables and mac-n-cheese.

"So, at the end of November, we're going to Tampa. Specifically St. Petersburg/ Treasure Island area. Would my lovely girlfriend like to accompany me and the vacation?" Ashton asked, making me look up from my plate,

"I'd love too" I laughed, "I'll be out of school then too"

"Awesome. Crystal and Sierra will be there too obviously but I don't think Cal's asking Grace considering they just started talking and stuff" he explained. I nodded and made a mental note of the date before eating again.

"Oh-oh! I got a new guitar!" Ashton's face lit up,

"You're a drummer?" I quirked an eyebrow,

"Well yeah, but I like guitars too" he giggled,

"Will you play it for me?" I asked,

"Of course!" He grinned.

So right after we ate, he pulled me to the couch, grabbed his guitar, and sat on the table in front of me, and played. He looked cute all happy, and while he wasn't looking at me, I took a picture of him:

"Hey" Ashton giggled as he caught me. I smiled and stood as he put his guitar to the side and pulled me on his lap,

"We should go get milkshakes?" He smiled at me,

"Alright" I shrugged and hopped off his lap. I quickly changed into sweatpants and a hoodie like he was wearing and we got in his car and headed out to the only milkshake place that was open after 10 pm.

****

We pulled up to the shop and Ashton came around and opened my door, taking my hand and leading me inside.

The bell rang as we walked in, making a worker come from the back,

"Hi. What can I get for you all?" she grinned. For it being after 10 at night, she was in a happy mood,

"I'll take a small strawberry shake and she'll take a small chocolate shake" Ashton answered, letting go of my hand to pull his wallet out of his sweatpants pocket. He paid then we stepped to the side while the girl made our shakes.

Once our shakes were in hand, we stepped outside and sat on the bench. Ashton put his arm around me to keep me close,

"Have you heard anything about your dad?" Ashton broke the silence. I sighed and took a sip,

"No. All I know is that he's still here. They don't know where though. Apparently he's got friends with him" I sighed, letting my head hit his shoulder,

"You know you can always call me right? I mean if you see him or just want to talk. Even to cuddle. You can call me. I'll be right there" Ashton spoke, then I felt his body tense and he mumbled something,

"What?" I asked as he pulled me up and we started walking to the car,

"There's a shit ton of paps coming this way. It'll be a mob if we don't leave" he simply spoke, letting me get in the car before he did. I'm used to the cameras. I've been in front of them plenty, but not to the extent Ashton is.

****

By the time we got back to his house, it was 11:30 and we were both tired. I changed and got in Ashton's bed while he went to take his contacts out. As I scrolled through Twitter, I saw a bunch of stuff about Ashton and me,

I furrowed my eyebrows at them. There were many more. I mean, yes, I've seen some things online about Ashton and me. I mean we've dated for three months now. But they have never been like this,

"Babe?" Ashton grabbed my attention as he laid down next to me. He looked over my shoulder at my phone, then took it and shut it off, laying it on the side table,

"Don't listen to this stuff, please. I know this is different than the news you're normally in. I know this is harsher, but please don't listen. I don't care that you're 21. I still love you" he pleaded, holding my face,

"I know Ash" I smiled, scooting closer, "and I love you too" I kissed him then rested my head on his chest.
