My Daddy || Ashton Irwin

Chapter 45 -

"You, like, aren't regretting it, are you?" Paula asks, shuffling in her seat.

"No, no, definitely not. It was nice," I answer honestly. "It really hurt at first, but it got easier and better after a while."

"Damn," Maggie says. "I always wondered what it was like, now I know."

"I think I might love him," I admit. "But I don't know."

"Are you guys together, like a couple?" Paula leans in, resting her head on a propped elbow, her face twisted with curiosity.

"No, we aren't. I wish we were, though."

"Now I'm really sorry about what I said earlier," Maggie apologizes. "I don't know what Ashton will be like later in life, but if you love him then I'm with you all the way."

"Me too," Paula says.

"Thanks, girls. Why don't we go get ready now, it's already one o'clock," I reply, my eye catching the time on the microwave. "I guess we slept in a little late."

"Let's go then." Maggie leads the way, Paula and I following her upstairs.

There, we lay out our dresses on the bed, and we all do our make-up. Paula goes for something more fierce, something that grabs attention, while Maggie and I stay with a simpler look.

While the other two try new hairstyles, I blow dry my damp hair until it's smooth and soft. I search up new hairstyles and fail at my first two attempts for extravagant ones, and I choose to stick with my hair down. I curl it lightly, just enough to give it a beach wave, and then sneak off to the bathroom to change into something, something for Ashton.

I strip and grab the bra and panties I purchased at Victoria's Secret from under the sink, where they've been hiding for a few days.

As I stare at my complexion in the mirror, I notice how much more my breasts are lifted. Thank god for push up bras, yes?

Once I'm satisfied, I change back into my pajamas and retreat to the bedroom. Paula and Maggie have their hair done, looking beautiful as always.

I go into the closet to slip on my dress, managing to zip it up part way but I have to leave the closet to get assistance from Maggie or Paula.

"I need help zipping," I say. Maggie is changed into her dress, Paula in hers. With a helpful smile, Paula goes behind me and begins to zip up my dress, her cold knuckle grazing my skin, sending goosebumps down my spine.

"Victoria's Secret, huh, Ella?" Paula snickers when she's done. Darn, she must've seen the tag.

"It makes me more confident," I reply with ease, a smile plastered on my face.

"Sure, sure. Say, are you meeting Ashton there or is he picking you up? We will need a ride, too, y'know," Paula says, gesturing to her and Maggie.

"I'll call him quick," I tell them. I walk to the corner of the bedroom and while Paula and Maggie fuss over their appearances in the mirror, I dial Ashton's number and hit the green button.

It rings three times before it picks up. "Hello?" A deep voice booms through the phone.

"Hey, are you picking me up, or are you meeting me there?" I ask quietly.

"I could pick you up, that is, if you fancy rolling in to prom on a motorcycle," he chuckles.

"Oh, right," I giggle. "I guess that means you'll be wearing a tuxedo when you drive there? That'll be a sight to see."

"Well, if you're lucky, maybe you'll get to see me without my tuxedo tonight," he flirts, his voice raspy and full of humor.

"Imagine me without my dress," I reply quickly, and then hang up.

"You realize we heard that, right?" Maggie laughs with Paula.

"Oh well," I say, beginning to laugh with them.

We slip into our heels, except for Paula, who claims heels give her blisters and she can't wear them. I don't blame her. She wears sparkly black flats instead.

"Girls, are you ready? It's six o'clock." My mother knocks on the door and peers in.

"Man, we took a while," I comment, and then say, "yeah, mom, can you drive us?"

"Of course, when will I need to pick you guys up?" She asks, and Paula, Maggie, and I head down the stairs with her. I'm terrified that I'll trip in my dress, even if it isn't that long, but still.

Luckily we make it out to my mother's van without any mishaps. "There's an after-party, and we can probably get a ride home from a friend."

"Oh, okay." My mother smiles at the three of us, and as we drive she starts to lay down the rules.

"No drinking," she says. I groan and roll my eyes, embarrassed that she'd do this in front of my friends.

"No sex," she continues, and Maggie elbows me in my waist. "Just have fun, but don't do anything stupid that'll jeopardize your guys' futures."

"Yeah, mom," I huff as we pull up to the school. "We won't."

Then all three of us climb out of the van, and I wave goodbye to my mother before she pulls away.

Butterflies explode in my stomach as we enter the school gymnasium, I hear the music playing and when I glance around, students are dancing, drinking punch, and laughing.

"There's Chase," Maggie says, frowning and nodding to across the school.

Sure enough, Chase is there, talking it up with the football team. "Just ignore him," Paula says. "I'm gonna go get punch, join me?"

"Sure," Maggie says more cheerfully, and I shake my head, anxious to see Ashton instead. The two girls trail off and I lean against the wall, waiting patiently.

"Well, Ashton. Your princess awaits," I hear Luke chuckle behind me.

I spin around, coming face to face with Calum, Michael, Luke, and the boy I've been waiting for, Ash.
