..

I was pacing in my room like a caged animal, biting my nails and staring at my phone thrown on the bed. I had come home in a daze, like every day in my life so far in Australia. It was difficult to focus on anything when I had a number of a guy I never even dared dream of him looking at me.

I looked at my phone again and sighed, shaking my head.

I wasn't going to call Ashton.

I was not going to call Ashton.

Goddamn it, I wasn't going to call him!

I picked up the phone and nearly laughed at myself. I was so going to call him. Hell, how many times in life would I be able to call him?

God I was going to hurt myself and I knew it, but I couldn't help it.

It rang only two times before he picked up, and his voice through the phone was even more breath-taking than ever. "I see you finally stopped thinking." He laughed a little and I smiled, unable to stop myself.

"You only live once," I shrugged, even though he couldn't see me. "I'm allowed to be stupid at least few times."

He gasped before I registered what I had said. "Stupid? God, could you wound me any further?"

I couldn't help scoffing. "Wound you? Please, I know you're enjoying this."

"Well damn right I am. You have a beautiful voice." I blushed and fuck I felt even more helpless.

There was yelling and then muffled noises, one I clearly recognized as being laughter. Then his sexy voice washed over me and I swore it wasn't fair. "Sorry, the guys are giving me shit."

"Because you're talking to me?" I tried to keep the hurt out of my voice.

"Yeah," he chuckles, unaware of my embarrassment. "I've never done something like this before, so they're being asswipes."

I flinched at his words and he noticed, muttering an apology. I lied on the bed and curled a little, wanting him to say anything because his voice was so addicting.

"Elizabeth?" I smiled at the way he said my name and hummed, not bothering with a coherent reply. "Nothing, just wanted to make sure you're still on the line."

I was filled with disappointment, and wasn't sure what I expected really. It's not like he'd say I've been thinking about you nonstop or that he even thought of me at all.

"I gotta go," I winced a little. "I have to make dinner and...stuff."

"Running again?" he chuckled and sighed. "Tell me where you live."

"What? No." I answered without thinking and nearly screamed.

He laughed. "Just making sure how far I can go."

"Yeah, I'll go now." I whispered with a smile. "Bye."

He chuckled and said nothing, and then the line was dead.

Holy shit. I hoped it wasn't a dream because I've never been so high. I was ridiculously giddy it was disgusting actually. I put the phone on the bedside table and my stomach made noises, which I assured me I couldn't go further without eating.
