Fools

Part 40

a couple of minutes later, lilah's pov;

from ; ashton :)
'hey, i'm downstairs if you're all ready to go :)'

Yay! He's here, I didn't bother texting back. I put my phone and room keys in my purse, took a deep breath to prepare myself, checked my hair and makeup one more time then left the room. I got to the bottom door from the stairwell, I could see Ashton waiting for me out there. He had his back turned from the door, he was looking up at the sky. The stars came out already and it's a full moon tonight, it was the perfect setting to walk to the party in. I opened the door and he quickly turned around to face where I was. I smiled all awkwardly, this is the part I hate about meeting up with someone, that walk over is brutal.  I kept turning my head in different directions as I walked over but this man would not stop looking at me, oh godd lol I hate this so much. I finally reached him, I stood directly in-front of him and just smiled. I probably look like such a dork right now aha but hey so did he.

"Well hello there." He smiled and said. He was wearing jeans with a blue flannel and a black t-shirt underneath.
"Hi. Is your favorite color blue by chance?" I joked.
"It is," He laughed. "I also really like red, orange and green. You?" We started walking down the path, we were standing fairly close to each other.
"Nice haha, I like blue and red also, but I'm more of a purple kind of gal." I told him, he nodded.
"Yeah, I can dig purple, cool cool. So are you a junior also?" I nodded. "What are you studying?"
"Well I'm currently an art, technology major, and minoring in theatrical studies but I'm shifting more to change my major into something I'm more interesting in, like the study of Art and Music with a minor in theatrical studies."
"Oh wow, that's really interesting actually, good for you. I hope that switch works out for you."
"Thanks." I smiled. "So what about you? What are you in for?" He laughed.
"I'm a psychology major, I've always wanted to be a licensed therapist, just something about helping people really gets me."
"Aw that's sweet."
"Thanks haha, but as far as minoring, I'm just floating through different language classes. I plan to travel once I get out of here, but more out of the UK and Australia."
"Nice! That'd be super cool to do, I've never been out of the UK."
"Really?" I shook my head. "Ah okay, well you never know what the next day might bring, and life's too short to not see everything the world has to offer."
"Very true, it's definitely in my plans someday."
"Nice, so you're into music and art, all of that yeah?" He asked, I smiled.
"Yes! Music is my absolute passion. I think music is one of the most beautiful things to be invented, it tells a story and whether or not that artist or particular type of music connects to you at that point in time, there will always be something that will pull you back into it later on. I'm grateful to be so surrounded by music. But as for art, I really like to draw and paint, I appreciate the simplicity of art in general." He smiled. "Sorry I'm rambling."
"No stop, you're okay, I asked. It's really cool how passionate you are with your interests, there's not that many people out there who appreciate things like that so it's refreshing to hear."
"Aw, well thank you. Yeah I could go on and on about those topics haha."
"You're really cool Lilah." I looked away when I smiled. "Thanks for coming out tonight."
"No, thank you for inviting me, I'm already having a good time." I looked up at him and saw him smiling.
"So how old are you by the way? I didn't ask yet."
"I'm 23, I'll be 24 here in 3 weeks?" I said.
"Ah nice! We'll have to hangout or do something for your birthday. You know if you want." I smiled again. Damn we haven't even gotten to the party yet and he already wants to see me again, is this really happening?
"Yeah, most definitely, I'd love to. How old are you?" 
"I'm 24, I just turned 24 a couple months ago."
"Cool! Well happy late birthday!"
"Haha thanks. Well we're here, you ready to go inside?" We got to the house and I could tell it was already raging, toilet paper of course was already on the house, I could hear the music blasting from outside and there was groups of people scattered everywhere. I looked at him, nodded then smiled. He took my hand as we walked in, I started smiling so hard again. He let go once we got inside. "I'm gonna go grab us some drinks and find my mates, you want to come with or do you want to wait and then I'll bring them to you?"
"I can wait, I'll try to mingle around."
"Okay," He smiled. "I'll see you in a quick second okay?" I nodded and he walked away.
