Typical [L.P. + N.H. + A.I.]

4.2 - Untitled - Spaces

'Have you been talking to him?'

'Nop. Never talked to him ever since he walked out that door.'

'And he hasn't tried contacting you?'

'Directly? No. But according to Liam, he has been asking him about me because he's giving me space until I'm over the whole thing and ready to talk to him so that we can be best friends again.'

'What?'

'What? I don't get what you didn't understand.'

'You're gonna talk to him again? You're gonna be friends? Best? Friends?'

'I mean right now I haven't thought about it. But I'm close friends with Liam and Louis. He's close with both of them. So I am going to have to run into him eventually. It would be nice if it wasn't awkward or if there wasn't any tension.'

'You can't be friends with him!'

'Excuse me? Can't? Are you seriously telling me what I can and can't do?' I snap.

'I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that. I'm just worried I'll lose you.'

'You're not gonna lose me! If anything I'm more worried about the fact that you're leaving in two weeks, more than anything else.'

'Right there's that too. You know, normally, there shouldn't be this much pressure on something this new.' He sighs.

'So what do you want to do?'

'Honestly?' He asks.

'Yeah?'

'Right now, I just feel like stop thinking about everything and just enjoy our time together. No overthinking, no planning, no worrying about all the things.'

'Just take it day by day.' I continue.

'Exactly!'

'Yeah, why not! So what do you want to do right now?'

'Hmm I don't know, you choose. Literally, the first thing that pops up.'

'It's cheesy, but I still haven't seen the London Eye at night!'

'Alright! Let's go!' He stands up, holding my hand, pulling me off the sofa.

'Wait! I have to change!'

'What's wrong with what you're wearing?'

'I'm wearing sweatpants!'

'Yeah? So?'

'So? I kinda wanna dress up more! I mean you're wearing a nice shirt.'

'Alright. Whatever makes you comfortable.'

It takes me a good 20 minutes to finish preparing myself. I find Ash waiting for me by the front door, holding the doorknob.

'Wait!' I shout before he opens the door.

'What now?' He complains.

'You still haven't given me a good hug!' I pout.

'Aww! I'm so sorry baby! Come here!'

I walk closer to Ash, falling into his arms, wrapping around me as I wrap mine around his waist as tightly as possible, resting my head on his chest. He kisses me on the top of my head as we stay like that for a little while. Then I pull myself slightly away from him, just enough to be able to stare into his beautiful eyes.

'Is it weird that I miss you?' I ask while.

'You do know that it's me standing here, right?'

'I know. But you've been distant all day. It was so unlike you. And I hated it. It's not when you didn't talk to me that bothers me. It's when you're talking to me but you're not really here. Like it's empty you know?'

'Sorry about that baby, there was a lot on my mind and I was trying to process everything.'

I smile at the nickname he uses. Every time I hear him saying that to me, my heart jump. I know it's generic and classic and he probably used it with other girls. But I like it.

'I know... Just next time, if there is something on your mind weighing you down, share it with me, don't push me out. I can't help you if you don't let me in.'

'I did let you in, I came here as soon as I could!'

'I know, but I'm saying that for later. If there is a later.'

'Of course there's a later! And for what it's worth, I miss you too.'

He moves his hands to put them on each side of my neck. I stand a little on the tip of my toes to reach him better, making our lips touch slightly. I pull slightly away but staying close enough that our noses touch. With no time no lose, our lips gravitate towards each other again, fitting together perfectly, moving along in sync. Being this close to Ashton, I still can't get over how happy he makes me feel. I never thought I was capable of feeling anything like this.

He gently pushes me against the front door as the kiss intensifies. In between kisses and with a heavy breath, he says, 'You know... We don't have to... go out... We can... Just stay here...'

I pull him off of me with a grin, reach out to get my purse. 'Nope, we're going out! I wanna see London at Night. With you! Come on.'

'Your wish is my command!' He teases, opening the door for me.
