"Acca-scuse me?" My TV said. Pitch Perfect was playing for the third time this week and I took up every opportunity to watch it. The sun beamed through my windows and caused it to create an awful glare on the television set.

I groaned as I got up to fix the situation.

"Oh, what a nice day!" I said sarcastically as I quickly shut the curtains and rolled my eyes. I hadn't been outside in a week and I wasn't going to start now.

I plopped back onto the couch. I was wearing a very over-sized t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I stretched my shirt over my knees as I shoveled some popcorn in my mouth.

"Good movie, good movie," I muttered to myself as I sighed a bit.

I heard my front door open and footsteps coming inside.

"Hey Ricky!" I shouted as I shoved more popcorn in my mouth. He hated it when I called him Ricky.

"Look who I found outside your apartment," Rick said as he approached the living room. His hand was at the back of Ashton's jacket collar.

They both looked at the position I was in right now, Rick nodded because he was used to it and I saw the faint smile spread across Ashton's lips.

"Were you really outside my apartment?" I asked Ashton because I knew he wasn't. He'd texted me saying he had class today.

"Nope, but I was thinking about coming over. Rick just found me first." Ashton's smile turned into a grimace because Rick still freaked him out a bit.

"Well," Rick started as he pushed Ashton onto the couch, causing him to knock me over. "Get out of the house, Molly. It's been a week."

He turned around and walked out of my apartment, leaving Ashton sprawled out and me on the verge of falling off the couch. I slowly removed my knees from the inside of my shirt and had to push up from the ground because I was half off and half on the couch.

"Can you help?" I asked. I heard a muffled "yeah" and then something touched my butt.

"Did you just touch my butt?" I saw Ashton's head pop up out of my peripheral vision.

"I thought it was your back!" He defended as he pulled me up.

"Baby got back," I giggled as I fell into his chest. Ashton started laughing hysterically at my comment.

"Molly?" Ashton asked once he stopped laughing.

"Hmm?" I kept my gaze on the tv as he spoke. I could feel him staring at me.

"You're pretty cool," he giggled. I looked up at him and smiled.

"You're not too bad yourself."

"Wanna go to my house? The boys are coming over later and they wanna hang out."

"Lemme go put some pants on and we can go." I laughed as I got up from the couch. I shuffled down the hallway to my bedroom.

"You look like you're not wearing any pants!" I heard Ashton laugh from the other room. I rolled my eyes and pulled out a pair of leggings from my drawer. I slipped on a pair of fuzzy socks and my black boots.

"Let's go Ashton." I called as I walked out of my room. I heard the tv shut off as I grabbed my coat off the kitchen counter.

"So Thanksgiving is next week," Ashton said as I shut the door to my apartment. I nodded my head at him as we walked down the hallway to the elevators.

"What are you doing for it?"

I shrugged.

"Eating some frozen dinner with Rick while watching weird movies."

"Sounds-"

"Don't say interesting, because it's not." I laughed as I pressed the ground floor button in the elevator.

He put his hands up in surrender.

"Not saying anything."

The doors opened and we walked out. The lobby was empty except for us two.

"Ready to face the cold?" He asked as he pushed open the doors.

"Holy-" Cold air blasted my face as we walked outside.

"Here Mol," Ashton took the beanie off his head and placed it on mine. He raised his hand in the air and hailed a cab in no time.

"Ladies first," he smiled as he held the door open for me. I smiled back and got in.

"Where to?" Our balding cabbie asked.

Ashton gave him his address as I looked out the window.

"Oh, and guys?" We both looked up at our cabbie in the rear view mirror.

"No sex in the back seat please."
