(Gabriel POV)
Its Friday and today I have a date with Ash yes I am a little nervous but I donât know why I keep telling myself that itâs going to be like how we usually hang out, I still havenât asked her where we are going or what I should wear because I donât want to be to dressy or underdressed ugh this is to much thinking.
The class was getting pretty boring I had no clue what the teacher was talking about he had this boring monotone dry voice I sighed, I looked over at Ash who was sleeping as usual, I always wonder how she passes her class because when she isnât sleeping she usually bugging me or in her own little world. I nudged her slightly she groaned.
âYes Gabbyâ She said opening one eye at me
âGet up Iâm boredâ I whined to her she sighed and closed her eyes again going back to sleep.
âAsh pleaseâ I said quietly she opened her eyes at me
âSo the only reason youâre waking me up is because youâre boredâ She said I nodded and she rolled her eyes.
âIf you havenât noticed we are in class how can I possibly entertain youâ She asked
âI donât know, youâre supposed to know,â I mumbled pouting at her
âWell then I can think of a few thingsâ She said smirking sitting up she moved her hands under the table and rested it on my thigh leg underneath my skirt I blushed and moved her hands away.
âGo back to sleepâ I mumbled she chuckled
âThatâs what I thought wake me up when class is finished,â She said going back to her original position before she closed her eyes. The day after the incident in her room I couldnât stop think about I couldnât even look at her with out my face turning red she found it funny but I didnât. To make matters worse that night when I went home I had a dream about it, I was turning into a pervert, I donât want to be a pervert, so I have come to a conclusion in order for me not to be a pervert I have to stop the intensities of our little make out sessions I donât know how Iâm going to do that but I will try. The bell rung taking me out my thought I shoved Ash who fell out her chair. I looked at her sprawled out on the floor holding her head mumbling something and glaring at me I laughed nervously before I stood up and held out my hand she swiped my hand away and stood up on her own grabbing her bags.
âSorry Ash I didnât think you would fallâ I said she frowned at me
âThat tends to happen when you shove someone, â She said as we walked out the, I rolled my eyes at her and took hold of her hand she looked at with her eyebrows raised.
âWhatâ I asked cheesing at her she gave me a soft smile.
âNothingâ she said giving my hand a light squeeze I smiled as we walked down the hallway hand to hand.
âHey Ash where are we going tonightâ I asked when we stop in front of my class.
âItâs a surpriseâ She said she leaned down and kissed me on my cheek before she walked off I frowned a surprise how am I supposed to know what to wear if itâs a surprise.
(Ash POV)
I yawned as I walked down the hallway not paying attention as I bump into someone whoever it was fell to the ground I groaned internally I keep bumping into people. I looked down it was a small pale girl with long brown curly hair and big light brown doe eyes she looked like a porcelain doll to me she looked so cute I wanted to pinch her cheeks.
âIâm sorry are you all rightâ I asked she didnât say anything but I could see the water works about to start she started crying and I mean crying I didnât know what to so I panic.
I bent down to her and checked to see if anything was broken or something I didnât hit her that hard did I.
âHey hey, hey stop crying Iâm sorryâ I said frantically she looked at me with tears still flowing she tried to stop herself but she started crying again.
âLook see your not hurt, itâs ok if it makes you feel better Iâll hurt myself seeâ I said getting up and banging my head into the locker I groaned that hurt I rub my head ok not smart I looked back at her she was still crying oh god what do I do I looked around the hallway no one was here to help me so I did the next best thing I grabbed her bag and hefted on my shoulder she started crying harder.
âWait wait Iâm not going to steal itâ I said waving my hands from side to side god sheâs like a little kid. I bent down and picked her up and ran to the nurse office, she started crying harder as I ran with her in my arms I swear if I was a cartoon you would see a sweat drop on my face. I opened the nurse office door.
âAbigail help me with herâ I said frantically putting the girl on the bed as she continued to cry Abigail walked over to her.
âAnnie please stop crying and tell me whatâs wrongsâ Abigail said sitting next to her the girl sniffled and pointed to me whispering something in Abigailâs ear me I didnât do anything to her I donât think I did.
âAsh was just trying to helpâ Abigail said Annie nodded at her whispering something else in her ear.
âAsh did you know you bump into her the other dayâ Abigail asked clearly amused as I looked at her with wide eyes
âI didnât know it was her I was in a rush Iâm sorryâ I said quickly the Annie girl looked at me leaning against Abigail.
âSee look sheâs sorry okâ Abigail said Annie nodded looking down at her lap who was this girl.
âWell let me introduce you two Ash this is Annie my little cousin she just started Mondayâ Abigail said I nodded and smiled at the little girl she must be a freshman.
âSo sheâs a freshman,â I asked Abigail shook her head laughing I gave her a confused looked
âNo she a senior like youâ she said I looked at her with my Jaw on the floor what how the hell is she a senior she looked like she was ten.
âYes sheâs a senior Ash she just a little smallâ She explained I looked at Annie again a little small sheâs beyond small.
âWowâ I mumbled to myself.
âSo since you two met Iâm leaving you responsible of her until her brother comesâ She said I looked at her with my eyebrow raised.
âSheâs very shy as you can see and sheâs smallâ
âOkay then Iâll take care of her,â I said grinning at the girl she looked up at me with her flushed cheeks.
âAnnie are you fine with thisâ Abigail asked her
âYesâ She said quietly you could barely hear her as she spoke.
âWell since thatâs settle both of you can go to classâ Abigail said I looked at her and groaned
âBut I was on my way here to take a napâ I said complaining she rolled her head and pointed to my bed I grinned and went over there pulling the curtains around the bed.
âWake me up when the bell rings,â I said before I let my head hit the pillow and fall asleep
I didnât stay asleep for long because I felt my bed dip in and someone climb under the covers with me I turned to see the small form of Annie.
âAnnie what are you doingâ I asked her confused she looked at me with her big brown eyes.
âAbby said to stay with you until she gets backâ She spoke quietly tilting her head to the side I nodded and settled back down I closed my eyes I could feel her staring at me I groaned inside my head and opened my eyes again she was staring at me.
âAnnie do you want to take a napâ I asked slowly she didnât say anything but closed her eyes and buried her head into the pillow curling up beside me I sighed I guess thatâs a yes she really does remind me off a little kid, I closed my eyes again and drifted off into a deep slumber.
45 minutes later
âAsh I told you to watch over her not sleep with herâ I heard Abigail say what the hell is she talking about
âWhat Abigail Iâm not sleeping with her look we have clothes onâ I mumbled sitting up lifting the sheets up rubbing my eyes Annie was still next to me curled into a little ball sleeping I looked at Abigail who was laughing slightly
âI know I meant sleeping sleeping the girl doesnât like to be woken up good luck waking her upâ She said walking around the curtain I looked at Annie cant be that hard look at her sheâs so small.
âAnnie wake up its time for classâ I said shaking her shoulders a little she didnât move I groaned come on I want to walk Gabriel to lunch I shook her again not getting a response I sighed before going into my bag and pulling out a cherry lollipop I guess if she looks like a kid sheâll act like one.
âAnnie I have a cherry lollipopâ I said chuckling as I watched her sit up yawning and stretching like a cat she rubbed her eyes and took the lollipop.
âCome on letâs go I can introduce you to some of my friendsâ I said she didnât say anything but put her shoes on slowly before she stood up and we walked back to Abigail she looked at me surprised I shrugged pointing to the lollipop she was sucking on, I guess I should carry them around with me.
âCandy always workâ I said grabbing my bag.
âLetâs go Annieâ I said she didnât say anything but walk out the door with me the bell rung as we got close to Gabriel class a crowd of students poured out of the class I glanced down at Annie who was shrinking against me she grabbed onto my sleeve as we stopped in front of her class where Gabriel just came out of.
âGabriel over hereâ I said she turned to me smiling.
âHey off to lunch we goâ She said happily I laughed and nodded I felt a hand scrunch up behind my back I sighed.
âGabby this is Annieâ I said Gabriel looked at me confused before I moved out the way where Annie was hiding behind she looked down at the ground before hiding halfway behind me again.
âAnnie come on sheâs harmlessâ I said moving her in front of me Gabriel looked at me with her eyebrow raised I shrugged at her.
âAnnie this is Gabrielâ I said with my hand on her shoulder she mumbled a little hello before she went back behind me I sighed again this is going to be a long day.
âLunchâ I said grabbing Gabrielâs hand as we walked down the hallway with Annie close to me holding on to my sleeve again I hope her brother isnât like this. We arrived at the cafeteria Annie had her own lunch but she didnât want to sit down without me so I had to bring her to the line with Gabriel and I. I paid for our lunch and went back to the table they made room for Annie so now Iâm not sitting next to Tyler Annie is.
âGuys this is Annieâ I said gesturing to Annie who was taking small bites out of her sandwhich the girls looked at her with excitement.
âAwe sheâs so cuteâ Jenna squealed looking at her the other girls agreed.
âYes I just want to hug her and squeeze her,â Samantha said Annie didnât say anything as usual she just sat there with her pink cheeks eating her food timidly while the girls fussed over who would get her first.
âAny way thatâs Samantha, Jenna, Amber, Aly, Matt, Sean, Tyler and Alex, stay away from that oneâ I said to her she nodded her head while Alex complained.
âThatâs not fair, donât listen to her Annie I wont do anything to you that you wont likeâ Alex said winking at her she looked at him petrified I looked at her as the tears started to gather oh man not again I glared at Alex.
âAlex shut up you idiotâ I said throwing a piece of bread at him he looked at her as the tears started to spill.
âAnnie he was just playing ok please donât cryâ I said to her in a panic she bit her lip trying to stop crying but I could see her lip quivering oh god I banged my head on the table as my friends looked at us weird.
âGabby you have a sister help me with this pleaseâ I asked her Gabriel was looking at Annie as she cried.
âI donât know my sister never really cried muchâ She said I sighed and looked at Alex glaring at him
âSay youâre sorryâ I said to him he frowned and Aly slapped him.
âFine Iâm Sorryâ He mumbled I turned to Annie and smiled
âSee he said he was sorry so please stop cryingâ I said softly she looked at me I lowered my head.
â he didnât mean itâ she said quietly in my ear I looked at Alex
âAlex you meant it didnât youâ I asked glaring at him he better say yes I canât deal with this all day.
âYes yes of courseâ He said quickly
âWhat about nowâ she nodded her head before she wiped her tears away I sighed in relief cant wait till her brother comes to get her.
âSo Annie youâre a freshmen rightâ Amber asked her she shook her head no I guess Iâll answer for her.
âNope sheâs a senior she also Abigailâs little cousinâ I said they looked at her in shock yup same reactions.
âButâ
âI know sheâs small I thought the same thingâ I said they nodded and started asking her a bunch of question I felt her scoot closer to me as they all talked to her at once I rolled my eyes at them and turned to Gabriel.
âSo is it hot in here or is it just youâ I said trying to make conversation she rolled her eyes.
âAsh please donât say that again and what should I wear tonightâ She asked I smirked
âDoesnât matter you can come naked which I wouldnât mind one bitâ I said she pinched me on my leg ouch.
â Seriously Ash I need to knowâ She said frowning at me
âFine something comfortable jeans or shorts anything is fine casual I guessâ
âCan you please tell me where we are goingâ She whined at me I smirked at her
âNo I told you youâll find out when we get thereâ I said she pouted at me
âWhat about a hintâ
â Itâs a placeâ I said laughing as she frowned at me I grabbed her hand from underneath the table as she moved it probably going to smack me.
âThatâs not a hintâ she said playing with my hand I grinned
âYes it was Iâm not going to tell you wait until tonightâ she pouted again frowning at me.
âAwe cheer up Gabby I promise you that youâll have fun tonight okâ I said she turned to me with her lips puckered up dragging my attention to them.
âFine thenâ she mumbled I laughed leaning down to her she moved back a little
âAsh what the hell are you doing,â She asked scooting further back
âWell since youâre tempting me with those lips of yourâ I said quietly she blushed moving over again only to fall off the side I started laughing.
I moved away from Annie and looked down at the floor where Gabriel was red
âThatâs for earlier todayâ I said she glared at me not moving as everyone looked over at us.
âGabriel what are you doingâ Amber asked confused I laughed harder as she looked at me she stood up with her, turned away from me and began to walk away. I sobered up before I stood up she was halfway across the cafeteria heading to the doors.
âHey watch her Samantha,â I said pointing to Annie who was looking like a lost puppy she had tears forming in her eyes.
âHey Iâll be right back ok you can trust Samantha Iâll be like five minutesâ I said reassuring her she nodded I smiled before I took off after Gabriel who had just reached the door.
âGabbyâ I said she ignored me and walked out the door I pulled the door open and caught up with her I pushed her against the lockers grinning at her red face.
âWhy are you always pushing me against stuffâ She asked frowning
âI donât know itâs convenientâ I said grinning at her as she rolled her eyes
âWhat do you wantââ She asked
âWell just wanted to know if you were ok you just left without saying anythingâ
âI wonder whyâ She glared at me
âSorry didnât think you would fall hard,â I said looking her over
âWhatever my butt hurts,â She mumbled I laughed
âItâs not funny and I have to go to the bathroom thatâs why I leftâ She said I nodded putting my hands on her waist.
âTo check you bum,â I said pulling her to me she pushed back slightly and looked at me.
âNo to go to the bathroom,â I grinned
âI think youâre going to check youâre bumâ I said putting my hands on her butt holding her in place.
âAsh get youâre hands off my assâ She hissed at me I laughed and kissed her lightly on her lips.
âI think you like itâ I said kissing her again and squeezing her butt she jumped and I grinned at her as her face turned red I think sheâs angry, I ran back to the cafeteria laughing to myself when I went back in I was immediately attacked by Annie who looked like she was about to drown in her tears.
âGuys what did you do to herâ I asked annoyed
âI donât know after you left she was fine but then she started to freak outâ Amber said
âI tried to figure out what happen but she wouldnât talk to meâ Samantha said I looked at Annie who face was buried in my sweater she had her arms wrapped around me like she was hugging me.
âAnnie what happenâ I asked walking her away from them she mumbled something into my sweater.
âWhatâ I pulled her face away and got down to her level
âAlex touched meâ She said really quietly I looked behind her at Alex
âWhereâ She pointed to her leg and foot
âWith his handâ I asked frowning she shook her head
âHis footâ She said looking at me with tears running god this girl cryâs way to much I nodded and we went back over to the table I went up to Alex and dragged him out the cafeteria with him protesting behind me I went around the corner.
âLet go of meâ He whined I threw him on the floor he grumbled and looked at me frowning
âWhat did I do nowâ
âLeave Annie alone Alex donât touch her donât do anything with her find someone else to mess with hell Iâll even set you up with someone if you want me to just donât bother her sheâs like a little kid so leave her alone before youâre charged with sexual harassmentâ I said he frowned
âFine Iâll leave her alone it isnât fair though because I canât mess with any of the new girls â He said I frowned knowing he was talking about Gabriel also
âI mean it Alex go mess with someone else sheâs off limits along with Gabby â
âYea, Yea, I know you told me before plus Annieâs not my type anyway to innocent and small if you know what I meanâ He said nudging me I rolled my eyes he such a douche sometimes.
âWhatever just leave her aloneâ I said we walked back to the cafeteria with him grumbling behind me when we got back In Gabriel was already sitting down.
âSorry Annie it wont happen againâ Alex said Annie looked at him before giving him a small nod.
âSo you finish rubbing youâre butt or do you need me to help againâ I asked Gabriel quietly in her ear grinning as she turned to me quickly blushing and frowning.
âI told you I went to the bathroom and back up,â She muttered glancing at my lips.
âTempting I know but youâll get some laterâ I said smirking her face heated up more and she looked away from me.
âWhat the hell are you guys talking about over there the girl looks like a tomatoâ Samantha said who was sitting across from us smirking at us I chuckled when I looked at Gabriel, her ears were also turning red sheâs way to easy to tease like this.
âNothing just some addiction she hasâ I stated shrugging as Gabriel looked at me.
âItâs not a addiction â She mumbled her face was still red as she frowned I raised an eyebrow.
âReally now, so, you donât want anymore of it, seems like you were enjoying it a little to much the other nightâ I said winking at her, her face went beet red again I laughed as Samantha wasnât following along with it.
âDonât worry about it, itâs an inside joke you had to be there to get itâ I explained to her as Gabriel elbowed me I grabbed her hands and intertwined mines with hers grinning at her as the bell rung we both stood up along with Annie who was glued to my sleeve. We first walked Annie to her class before we headed to the gym.
âShe seems like a nice person â Gabriel said leaning against me as we walked
âYea sheâs a little shy thatâs the girl I ran into the other day I made a mistake and ran into her again today and she started crying I paniced and carried her to Abigailâs where she assigned me to watch her till her brother comesâ
âThatâs why sheâs so clingy to youâ She asked frowning slightly I smiled
âYes I guess you jealousâ I asked grinning as she turned pink
âNo of course not why would I be jealous of herâ She said I laughed and let go of her hand and put my arm around her shoulder pulling her closer to my side.
âIâll take that as a yes, but donât worry sheâs not the kind I go afterâ I said she was looking up at me with her pinks cheeks I brought my lips to hers giving her a simple kiss.
(Gabriel POV)
The girl Annie, yes she is adorable with her Porcelain like feature and her big light brown eyes, yes she totally pinch able but that doesnât mean I like her that much sheâs to clingy like a little kid who scared of everything right now me and Ash are walking her to the nurse office to drop her off before we head home she as usual was clingy on to Ash shirt whispering something to her, the girl doesnât talk much I only ever see her talking to Ash and of course Ash replies back grinning like and idiot I rolled my eyes at them as we walked into the nurse office.
âAsh I see youâre back goodâ She said taking Annieâs bag from Ash apparently it was to heavy for her and her back was hurting of course I had scoffed at that.
âYup I have her back in one pieceâ she said putting her hand on her shoulder grinning down at her.
âI see you brought Gabriel along tooâ Abigail said ii said hi and smiled
âYea we have somewhere to go right Gabbyâ She smirked at me I frowned Im mad at her right now.
âOh you two have a dateâ Abigail said smiling at the two of us I blushed as Ash laughed a little.
âSomething like that well we have to go Iâll see you later Abigail and Iâll see you Monday Annieâ She said smiling at the girl who smiled shyly and nodded her head she ran up to Ash and gave her a little hug Ash laughed and hugged her back.
âI see sheâs taken a liking to youâ Abigail said when Annie went back to her side Ash shrugged
âYea I guess well see you later guys come on Gabbyâ She grabbed my hand and we walked out the nurse office to the parking lot.
âAsh what time are you picking me upâ I asked once we reached my car she looked at her watch.
âSix sounds good to youâ She asked I nodded my head.
âYes I still want to know where we are going how am I supposed to know what to wearâ I asked frowning she sighed.
âGabby just wear something casual like what you wear to the mall or something I told it doesnât matterâ She said rolling her eyes smirking at me I frowned again that doesnât really help I could wear anything to the mall.
âThat doesnât help,â She groaned and opened the door to my car I sat down in the drivers seat as she leaned down to my level on the door.
âGabby it doesnât matter what you wear just wear something comfortable if I think its not going to be right for tonight then Iâll tell you to changeâ She said I frowned at the last part change my outfit.
âI wouldnât have to worry about changing if you tell me where were goingâ I said smirking she mumbled something under her breath before she gave me a quick kiss, closed my door and walked off leaving me grumbling.
I reached home and immediately went up stairs it was 4 oclock I have to find something to wear take a shower do my hair and make-up.
I went straight in the shower shedding my clothes once I was finished I wrapped the towel around me and went back in my room rummaging through my closet for something to wear its supposed to get a little chilly tonight so Iâm going to wear my jeans I pulled out some skinny jeans and grabbed the first shirt I felt I looked at it eww but I guess its cute I think it was like a peach or pink color shirt that had a little material design on that I like to call the curtain ripples or whatever its called I found my Jean jacket and my matching flats. I went over to my dresser and took out my underwear and bra I put them on before I went to the bathroom to curl my hair in loose curls.
1 hour later (A/N out fits on the side..)
Ok so it took me longer than I expected to curl my hair I kept burning myself with the stupid thing and I had to keep redoing pieces over or flattening them again because it was too curly when I finally finished it was already five thirty I still had to get dressed, I couldnât go in my underwear, I went back to my room and put on my clothes before I sat down in front of my vanity and started applying a little bit of make up and I mean a little bit I hate putting on a lot of make up it feels nasty so I usually only put on eyeliner and lip gloss I might even put eye shadow on some occasions, I applied some eyeliner before I put on some mascara when I was finished I put some clear lip gloss on I checked myself in the mirror and smile yes I look decent. I grabbed some accessories before I took a good look at myself yes now I am complete with one minute to spare the doorbell rung I grabbed my purse and ran downstairs to answer it only to see my father answering the door Oh Shit.
(Ash POV)
I arrived at Gabriel house exactly at six it didnât take me long to get ready I only had on grey v neck shirt with a orange blue and white varsity jacket and some light blue low rise semi skinny jeans on with matching blue vans. I got out the car and rung the doorbell I wanted to buy her some flowers but I realized how stupid I would look if I did that. The door opened revealing a man with blonde hair with glasses on in khaki pants and a sweater oh this must be her father I can see where she got her beautiful eyes from I cleared my throat and began speaking.
âHello Sir how are you Iâm Ashâ I said politely holding my hand out shaking his he was frowning at me I hope Iâm not messing this up, always make good first impressions.
âIâm good may I helpâ He asked looking me over frowning at me
âYes Iâm here to pick Gabriel up for tonightâ I said he nodded and let me in where I saw Gabriel looking as pretty as ever with a pale horror stricken face.
âHey Gabrielâ I said scratching my head aware that her father was still standing there.
âHey Ash dad this is Ash a friend from school Ash this is my father even though you just met himâ She said coming up to me with her purse in hand.
âCome in the living room son I want to have a talk with youâ He said looking at me sternly I nodded my head as he walked into the living room Gabriel looked at me with a panic expression geesh Iâm not going to mess it up Iâve been through this already.
âChill out Gabby I got this, anything that you donât want me to tell himâ I said quietly
âThatâs youâre a girl you tell him anything else, even that itâs a dateâ she said quietly IÂ nodded that much was obvious I wouldnât tell him thing he didnât need to know or that Gabriel didnât want him to know yet I went into the living room and sat down.
âIs this a date youâre taking her onâ He asked
âYes sirâ I said sitting up straight looking him in the eye.
âWhat are youâre intentions towards herâ He asked oh thatâs an easy questions
âWell sir youâre daughter is a wonderful person I love the way she is care free, I love her sweet tooth and her love for strawberries on anything that is edible, I love the way she gets embarrassed easily and how I drown in her mesmerizing emerald eyesâ I said starting to get off track I paused looking him in the eyes â to tell you the truth I really like your daughter and I would love to date her if you allow me to and if she accepts me, I promise I will not take advantage of her or do anything to her that she does not want me to do or that she is not willing to do and I will come to you to ask you for youâre permission to do anything that I feel as though you need to knowâ I said finishing he looked me straight in the eyes.
âWhat do you plan on doing after schoolâ
âI didnât really plan that part yet I have recruiters trying to pick me up for college basketball but I also plan to take over my father business after awhile so I will probably go into business studiesâ
âSo you keep youâre grades up and everything you canât rely on sportsâ He said I know this.
âYes sir I know thatâs why I have a GPA of 4.0 you never know what might happen so thatâs my back up planâ I said he nodded giving me a small smile
âdo you drinkâ He asked
âYes I do only when I donât have to drive or when Iâm with her I have to keep an eye on her sometimes and I never drink to the point where I cant focus one cup is all I drink and I always give her juice no matter how much she complains about itâ I said answering him truthfully
âWhere do you plan on going tonightâ
âI planned to take her to the fair tonight sirâ I said he nodded
âHow are you getting thereâ He asked
âBy car sir I have been driving for 3 years I have not had anything tickets or accidents at allâ I said he nodded again I think Iâm doing good.
âWhat time do you plan on bringing her backâ
âUm I think around 12:00 or 12:30 if thatâs fine with you sirâ I asked he looked at me contemplating
â12:50 on the dot no later than thatâ He said standing up I stood up to as he continued to talk.
âIf you hurt or I will come after you son,â He said giving me a pat my back I nodded at him as we walked out where Gabriel was pacing back and forth.
âGabby are you readyâ I asked walking up to her she stop and looked at her dad then me and sighed.
âYea Iâm readyâ She picked up her purse but I stopped her.
âDonât take that you donât need it just take youâre phone and I.Dâ I said she nodded taking her phone and I.D out and putting them in her pocket.
Her father walked us to the door.
âBye daddyâ Gabriel said hugging him and kissing him on the cheeks he smiled at her and did the same.
âIt was nice meeting you sir,â I said shaking his hand
âSame here and call me Paul pleaseâ he paused as I nodded âRemember what I said and 12:50â He said
âYes sir Iâm mean Paulâ I said correcting myself when he gave me a look I smiled at him before me and Gabriel got in the car.
âAsh Iâm sorry about thatâs heâs always like thatâ She said apolegtically I laughed driving off to the fair grounds.
âIts fine all he did was ask me questionsâ I said she nodded
âQuestions like whatâ she asked
âBasic questions that every father askâ I said laughing as she looked at me with horror.
âOh god did he ask you what are your intentions towards meâ She asked
âYea that and some other stuffâ
âGod heâs so embarrassing what did you sayâ She asked I shrugged
âThe truthâ I stated she sighed and sat back in her seat
âWhat else did he askâ she said quietly
âDo I drink I also said yes to that but I told him I only drink one cup and If I drink more I donât drive and that I always give you juiceâ
âWhat you told him that Iâm surprised he let you take me anywhereâ she said shocked I laughed
âIts because I told him the truth Gabby I donât lie to people, when they ask me questions I will answer it truthfullyâ I said to her pulling onto a dirt road it was already dark out we past through a few trees before I saw the light at the end of the road as we grew closer to it I could make out a Ferris wheel and other rides. We reached the end and Gabriel was grinning at me.
âThe fair Ash why didnât you tell meâ She said excitedly as I parked the car I laughed and got out with her I grabbed her hand and we walked to the admission booth I paid for our wrist bands before we went and got the all day ride pass.
âSo what do you want to do firstâ I asked watching her expression light up as she looked around and pointed to the food stands I laughed and shook my head.
âSo I really brought you here for foodâ I asked
âNo I want to get on the rides to but Iâm also hungryâ she said grinning at me
âHow about we get on two rides then we get foodâ I said she sighed but said ok
âThen I want to go on the slide oneâ She pulling towards the super slide I rolled my eyes.
âGabby thatâs so not a rideâ I said
âYes it is see we have to show him our wrist bandsâ She said childishly I groaned as the guy gave of the potato sack we walked all the way to the top of the stairs.
âI get to pick the next ride Gabbyâ
âOnly if you win Ashâ She laughed and jump on her sack riding down the slide
âThatâs cheating I said following right behind her of course I couldnât catch up with her.
âI win now lets go on that one,â She said pointing to some little kids ride again I sighed and went with her.
(Gabriel POV)
I cant believe she brought me to the fair I havenât been to a fair since I was little, I wanted to go on all the rides I used to go on when I was younger which why we are on the merry go round right now Iâm on the horse while Ash is standing next to me laughing at me she hasnât complained yet about me going on all the little kids rides, to tell you the truth I donât really like getting on the bigger rides they freak me out honestly.
âGabby lets go grab something to eat then I can choose a rideâ She said smiling at me I have to say this one of my best dates I ever been on weâre so relaxed around each other maybe because weâre friends and we have nothing to hide but still I like it we walked hand in hand still we found a stand.
âGabby what you wantâ Ash asked I looked at the menu I guess Iâll get a hot dog
âHot dog and lemonadeâ I said she nodded and order while I wondered off to look at the ride behind us It was a spinning ride that looked like a UFO I want to go in there and check it out.
âHey you here by yourselfâ I turned to the voice it was some guy about my age with dark brown hair and black eyes he was ok looking.
âYea Iâm here with someone
âWell since youâre guys not around want to hang outâ He asked looking at me like a piece of meat I grimaced in disgust.
âActually Iâm right here, I would appreciate it if you donât hit on my date when she clearly doesnât want youâ I heard Ash say from behind him coming over to me she gave me my hot dog and drink.
âSorry manâ The guy mumbled and walked off Ash turned to me.
âWhat did I tell you about walking offâ She said scolding me like a little kid I frowned and bit into my hotdog while she guide me to a little table off to the side.
âCan we get on that one nextâ I asked pointing to the one I was looking at she looked behind me and nodded.
âYes finally a ride suitable for our ageâ She said smirking at me I blushed the slide wasnât a little kids ride and neither was the train ride.
âShut upâ I said sipping my drink
âYou sure you want to get on after you just ateâ She asked me I nodded
âCant be that badâ
âOk Gabby if you say soâ She said balling up her trash and shooting it into the nearest trash can making it I rolled my eyes
âShow offâ
âHave to impress the ladyâs somehow Gabby,â She said laughing at me as I attempted to do the same thing key word is attempted I failed miserably and watch Ash stand up and place it in the trash.
âI need to teach you some skillsâ She said we both left the table and stood in line for the ride.
âhey you sure you want to get on this Gabbyâ Ash asked from behind me wrapping her arms around I leaned back her as she put her chin on my shoulder.
âYea it doesnât look badâ She nodded against me.
âOk but we just ateâ She pointed out oh yea we did just eat.
âI donât think I have a weak stomachâ I mumbled to myself I guess she heard me because she chuckled in my ear.
âI guess weâre about find thenâ she said we got the front and showed him our tickets he let us I felt Ash and in mines as we walked over to the back wall and stood against it like everyone else.
â what exactly happens in this rideâ I asked she laughed
âNow you ask once weâre inâ I nodded at her she began to explain
âFirst it starts off slow then its get faster so you wonât be able to get off the wall once youâre on it its actually if you move at the right time you can be upside down or side ways on the wallâ
âCan you help me thenâ I asked I wanted to hang sideways
âUm I donât think thatâs possible but Iâll tryâ she said grinning at me I grinned back as the ride started to spin I was going that fast until I felt Ash lift me up a little.
âTurn Gabby before its starts going fasterâ She said I guess I was to slow because I felt Ash crush me we looked at each other and started laughing like idiots, I could tell she was stuck against me until the ride stop or slowed down but we didnât know how long that would be so to not get bored I kissed she kissed me back but she couldnât move her arms and neither could I. Before she could deepen it I pulled back grinning at her she frowned.
âYou always pull back, when things are getting good,â She said
âYup because I think the ride is slowing down,â I said she moved her now free arm and grabbed my hand as the ride was coming to and end.
âWhere to nextâ She asked as we walked out the ride
âOoh I always wanted to go to the hall of Mirrors then the funhouseâ I said pointing to the place next eaach other she nodded.
âGabby if we get lost in the mirrors donât blame meâ She said I giggled slightly I could see us getting lost in there like the idiots we are.
âIâm going to blame you because you agreed to goâ I said laughing walking up to the halls of mirrors the lady lets through the door it was pretty dark in here once we entered I saw a million images of Ash and I and of course Ash was looking at herself in one of the mirrors.
âAsh we are supposed to be going through the maze not checking yourself outâ I said rolling my eyes at her she frowned and turned to me.
âI wasnât checking myself out now lead the way mâladyâ She said gesturing me forward she took my hand as we began to walk no sooner did I take a step I crashed into a mirror I heard Ash laughing at me while I groaned.
âAsh why didnât tell me it was thereâ I asked her rubbing my nose frowning
âhow was I supposed to know Iâm following youâ she said I glared at her
âI donât want to do this anymoreâ I mumbled she chuckled and smirked at me.
âFine Iâll lead the wayâ she said holding her hand out so we wouldnât crash into anything Iâm never coming in here again I swear everywhere we went was a dead end or just reflections of another pathway I stop walking and pouted.
âAsh weâre never going get out of here,â I whined she shook her head.
âIt was youâre idea in the first placeâ
âWell you didnât have to agreeâ I argued back she leaned down to me
âSeeing as itâs a date I want to do everything you want to do so of course I agreed dummyâ She said she kissed me I of course kissed her back licking her lips for entrance she opened her mouth and her tongue battle with mines as she pushed me lightly against one of the mirrors. I broke the kiss smiling at her as she rested her forehead on mine.
âNow lets find our way outâ she said smiling at me she gave me one last kiss before she pulled me off the mirror I took her hand as she guided us through the mirror.
âLook Ash a lightâ I said running towards the exit ignoring her yells for me to slow down and not to run I ignored her like a dummy and I ran into another mirror this time I fell flat on my butt.
âGabby I told you not to run over there the exit right thereâ She said pointing to the door across from me I groaned as she lifted me up.
âYou okay, your father will kill me if I donât have you back in one pieceâ She said taking my hand again as I pouted and followed her right behind her by butt hurts and my nose hurts now.
We made It outside I sighed in relief.
âYou know what how about we not go in the funhouseâ She said I nodded my head agreeing with her if the fun house was anything like the mirrors I didnât want to go in to make a bigger fool out myself we walked around looking at the game until I found a huge stuff animal that I wanted I pulled Ash to a stop.
âAsh I want thatâ I said pointing to the big husky stuffed animal if I cant have the real thing I want that one.
âI donât know Gabbyâ she said looking at it I gave my puppy eyes she stared at me for a good minute before she let out a breath and rummaged through her pockets for pulling out her wallet she took the cash out and handed it to him.
âAsh you can do it this is youâre sportâ I said happily she rolled her eyes
âHow many do I have to do for thatâ She asked the guy he looked to the stuff animal
âUm 2 rounds perfect shots no missesâ He said she nodded and gave him some more money.
âI guess Iâll do the two rounds themâ She said he took out 12 basketballs and told her to back up to the line, she groaned and did as she was told she bounced the ball twice before she shot it, it went straight in I squealed with delight. She turned to me giving me a look that said shut up I closed my mouth as he passed her the other balls she took the shot and made it just like the first, things seemed to repeat its self for the next 10 balls the guy looked at her surprised before asking her which one she one she pointed to the oversized stuffed dog in the back it was a cute husky dog. I clapped my hands in excitement as he handed it to her she gave it to me a wrapped my arms around the neck of it the thing was huge I think it was bigger than me and it was heavy I frowned at it, for it to be so cute it sure is heavy I looked at the ground the tail was dragging I donât want a dirty tail.
âAsh can you carry it for me pleaseâ I asked sweetly batting my eyes at her she grumbled before she took it from me taking my hand and took me over to a line.
âWhere are we going Ashâ I asked she didnât say anything but look at her watch walking faster until we reached a long line we walked to the front of the line cutting in front of everyone who was glaring at us I shrunk into Ash as we stopped in front of a guy.
âHey Ash you can go inâ He said Ash grinned at him knocking her fist with his before he opened the door to the cart we both climbed in. Ash sat my dog across from us as we began to move.
âAsh we cant just cut the line like that we could have waitedâ
âNo we couldnât then we would have missed itâ She said grinning at me she pulled my on top of her lap and told me to look out the window, as the Ferris stop leaving us at the top I could see the whole city and all the lights from up here it was beautiful. All of the lights around the fair went out I looked at Ash in surprise who was grinning out the window I hope there wasnât a power shortage oh god I donât want to be stuck up here forever.
âGabby calm down and lookâ She said quietly against my ear I looked to where she was pointing just as I saw a whiz of light rocket into the sky creating multi colors I smiled brightly as I watch the fireworks go off.
(Ash POV)
I watched Gabrielâs face light up when the fireworks went off all around us this is always the best part of the fair the midnight fireworks I loved watching them from up here I usually get to stay up here until its over and tonight we are staying up here till its over I asked already if I could and they happily stated that I could, yes it did cost me some money but I donât mind spending money on her. I was still gazing at her as the fireworks reflected in her emerald eyes she was so excited like a little kid who has never seen fireworks before.
âI guess you like it thenâ I asked grinning at her as she turned her head towards me smiling.
âI love it Ash itâs amazing,â She said with her eyes twinkling at me I smirked.
âGood I didnât know if you would like it or notâ I said truthfully she shook her head.
âNope I havenât seen fireworks since I was a kidâ She said leaning herself against me.
âDidnât you used to see them on like new years or 4th of Julyâ I asked everybody has seen them.
âNo we stopped going after I was like 6 or 7, thatâs when my parents started travelling for workâ She said sadly looking out at the fireworks
âSo you havenât seen them on new yearsâ
âNo I want to go to New York one day and watch it there I always wanted to see the ball drop in time squareâ She said with excitement I laughed at her and nodded Iâll take her there one day. We sat in silence watching the fireworks well she sat and watched them I sat and watched her with happiness flowing through me, I look dumb gazing at her but she holds my heart and she doesnât even now it to that extent, I sighed to myself the night was almost over and I have to get her back before twelve fifty I glanced at my watch the fireworks should be coming to an end soon.
âGabby its almost overâ I said she shifted on my lap to look up at me and pouted.
âAwe I wanted to see some moreâ She mumbled I chuckled to myself.
âThereâs always next timeâ I told her she was still pouting as she rested her head on me again.
âAsh can we get some cotton candyâ She asked randomly
âYeah once we get off of here then we have to take you back your dad wants you back by twelve thirtyâ I said she nodded her head against me before she sat up.
âYou know that doesnât seem fair because my curfew is oneâ
âWell youâre father said twelve fifty and thatâs when youâll be home,â I said she frowned and smirked before I kissed her lightly.
âStop frowning youâre going to get wrinkles,â I said pulling back laughing when she frowned again at me.
âAsh hush,â She said I look at her amused as she stared at me grinning slightly the Ferris wheel started moving.
âAsh you made me miss the finaleâ She said looking out the window in disappointment I laughed before smirking at her as we stop again.
âI can give you oneâ
âReally howâ She asked coyly looking at my lips smiling at them I smirked at her
âLet me show youâ I said has she met me half way I captured her lips against mines moving slowly for awhile before I pulled at her lower lip I felt her smile before she opened up letting me in she playful shoved my tongue out the way as her arms wrapped around my neck and mines around her waist I felt the ride jostle forward again signaling that we were moving again. I stopped kissing her when I saw that we were the next to get  off.
âAsh why you stopâ She whined out breathing heavy I laughed as the guy opened our door she looked at him and blushed.
âThatâs why, come on so we can get you cotton candyâ I said she nodded with a red face and got off my lap I picked up the stupid oversized stuff animal that she insisted on getting and got out of the cart after her. She took hold of my hand swinging it back and forth as we walked to the cotton candy stand I rolled my eyes at her.
âWhat colorâ She pointed to the pink I paid for hers before started walking again with her shoving pieces of cotton candy in her mouth.
âWe have a few more minutes before we have to go you want to get anything else or do anything elseâ I asked her she looked around thinking.
âIce cream Ash we completely forgot about the ice creamâ She said I laughed and looked at her putting pieces of cotton candy in her mouth.
âReally Gabby youâre eating cotton candy if we get the ice cream you have to put up the cotton candyâ I said she frowned and looked at her candy then the ice cream stand next to us contemplating which one to choose I watched her amused as she fought with herself internally.
âI guess Iâll eat my candy thenâ She mumbled I laughed at her grabbing a piece of cotton candy out of her hand eating it, I couldnât tell what flavor it was but it was sweet and sticky I wrapped my arm around her and she moved closer and leaned into me.
âReadyâ I asked she nodded pouting I could tell she didnât want to leave just yet I smiled down at her leaning over preparing to give her a kiss but I was interrupted by a very familiar group of voices.
âAsh Gabriel is that youâ I heard I groaned and Gabriel blushed slightly stepping away a little from me putting a piece of candy in her mouth I turned in the direction the voices came from.
âThey have the worst timingâ I mumbled to her before I turned to them
âHey guysâ I said giving them a fake smile standing in front of us were all of our friends who were all looking at us confused.
âWe didnât know you guys were coming here we tried calling you but neither of you answeredâ Alex said looking at both of us I groaned again good thing we are about to leave.
âOh must had my phone on silenceâ I said pulling out my phone looking at it I had several missed calls from them.
âSo how long you guys been hereâ Tyler asked me why does this guy insist on talking to me when he knows I donât like him I frowned at him but answered anyways.
âSince six I believeâ I glanced at my watch looking around trying to get out the conversation Gabriel shifted under me again I glanced at her she was avoiding thier gazes.
âWere we interrupting somethingâ Samantha asked with a sly grin on her face as she looked at us yes you are I wanted to scream at them but I shook my head instead.
âNo weâre just hanging out winning stuffâ I said nodding my head to the stuff dog sitting next to me.
âSo you want to join us it canât be much fun with just two of youâ Aly said looking between me and Gabby
âNope we were just leaving actuallyâ I said picking up the dumb dog
âCome on you guys stay a little longer we just saw youâ Jenna said I shook my head again.
âSorry we canât we have somewhere else to go but weâll catch you guys laterâ I said I turned us around to the exit not bothering to wait for there goodbyes.
âIâm so glad we didnât run into them earlierâ I said sighing as we walked to the car.
âYea that would have suckedâ I unlocked my car and opened her door for her waiting for her to get in once she was in I closed before going over to my side I started the car and headed out to the road It was 15 minutes past twelve so I had 35 minutes to get her back home which would be plenty of time.
âHey Ash can we do that againâ Gabriel asked from beside me leaning her head against the window.
âYeah Iâll find another one somewhere or something similar to itâ I said glancing at her as she nodded and yawned.
âSleepyâ I asked
âJust a little tired I had fun today Ash thank youâ She said I smiled
âWell Iâm glad you had fun now go to sleep Iâll wake you up when we get to youâre houseâ I said she nodded and yawned again before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Iâm glad she had fun today even if she got hurt in the mirrors which I found rather funny watching her crash into them I wonder what would have happen if we went in the funhouse now that would have been a sight to see. I honestly didnât think the date would go well because I havenât really been on a real date before usually I just go straight to their house and leave, so I guess I was nervous in the beginning but I forgot about it after we started having fun and went with the flow of everything, by doing that I had a great time to. I glanced over at Gabriel as I pulled up to her house she was snoring softly I laughed slightly I never heard her snore before and Iâve seen her sleep a bunch of times maybe its because sheâs in the car I looked her she looked so peaceful right now and I didnât have the heart to wake her up so I got out my car and opened her door. I unbuckled her before I lifted her out the car the girl was light as a feather I closed the door making sure she had everything before I carried her to the house I hit the door bell with my back as Gabriel snuggled closer to my chest moving slightly and curling up more in my arms. I saw a light turn on and some shuffling noise before I heard the door open her father was standing there in his robe and slippers.
âI brought her back on time and in one pieceâ I said he nodded moving out the way as I carried her in the house carefully making sure I didnât hit her dangling legs on the door.
âYou can take her upstairs to her roomâ He said looking at Gabriel softly I nodded and headed upstairs to her room once I was there I laid her down on her bed before I took off her shoe Jewelry and her jacket. I went to her closet and looked for a her P.J I couldnât find them so instead I pulled out a familiar shirt from her closet I stared at it for a second before I shrugged I buttoned the shirt over her other shirt covering her body as I unzipped her pants and pulled them off of her I went back pulled her covers back and put them on top of her legs before I undid the top half of the shirt, it took me awhile before I could pull the shirt she had underneath off but I did I button the shirt back up as she moved to her side and snuggled back into the pillow with a small smile on her face. I gave her a soft smile before I pulled the covers up to her chin.
âNight Gabbyâ I said quietly I kissed her on her forehead before I left out her room I turned out her light and closed her door hearing her mumble something I couldnât understand. I walked back downstairs where her father was waiting.
âThank you for letting me take her out tonight sirâ I said he nodded.
âIt fine you listened to what I said and had her back in timeâ
âNo problem Goodnightâ I said he patted me on the back as I walked out.
âI like you kid come over soonâ He said I grinned at him and nodded before I went to my car happily but stopped when I looked in I forgot to give him the stuff animal I grabbed the oversized thing out my car and went back to the door ringing the bell again he opened the door confused.
âI didnât mean this soon sonâ He said I laughed slightly
âSorry Sir I forgot to give this back to herâ I said nodding my head to animal he looked at it with wide eyes.
âWhy is it so bigâ He asked looking the dog over
âWell your daughter insisted on me winning the biggest one so I did and then I was stuck carrying it around because it is bigger than herâ
âThat sounds like herâ he laughed at me before he told me to put it in her room I made my way up to her room quickly, I quietly opened her door and put it by her bed she was still sleeping peaceful as I left out saying goodbye to her father. I went straight home and straight to bed grinning the whole way there. I just had the best night tonight I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
