Loving You / Paul Lahote - [EDITED]

5 - [EDITED]

For the last lessons, Ashley didn't really care about school and focused on Paul. Her last lesson was with Uncle Jasper and he had realized the excitement from his niece. Since it wasn't in a bad way, he hadn't been alarmed. 

When the rang bell a big smile was formed on Ashley's face. Together they walked outside to the cars to meet up with the rest of their family.

Alice was already there when Jasper and Ashley arrived. "Alice!" Ashley beamed. "Can I ride back with you and Rosalie? I need to talk to you two about something," she said excitedly. 

Seeing her niece with smiles all around her face Alice smiled too. She looked at her mate and he shrugged with a smile on his lips. "Of course honey," she replied as they waited for the last of the Cullens.

Alice and Ashley had dragged Rosalie away from the car and they got in quickly. Without waiting for the others Alice started driving, eager to learn what her niece is going to talk about.

 "What's the rush guys? What's going on?" Rosalie asked with a smile on her face. 

"Mom, Auntie," Ashley started talking, "I think I may be going on a date today," she quickly said. 

Alice shouted a little and Rosalie turned to her daughter. "Maybe going?" she asked her daughter with a grin on her face.

Ashley blushed at the question. "Yeah, I am not sure, he asked me to meet up, and I think I like him, we hang out once before," she quickly explained. "What should I expect?" 

Sure, there had been boys interested in her before but it never got to be a serious thing for several reasons. Ashley never really liked them back and the boys she liked were kind of scared by the other Cullens. Especially Emmett. He was very protective of his little daughter.

"Oh honey," Rosalie exclaimed. "Just try to enjoy yourself, but know that with teenager boys things can get a little out of hand and you don't have to do anything you don't want to or don't feel comfortable," 

"Exactly sweetie, don't feel pressured," Alice added and the two vampires shared a look.

Ashley nodded. " Okay," she said. "How do I know if he's into me?" 

The vampires grinned. "Oh, you'll know, trust me," Rosalie said. 

Ashley giggled. "Oh, okay, expert,"

"What will you be doing?" Alice asked her. 

"We'll go see a movie and then eat, I think, I am not sure," she replied. 

Alice chuckled as she increased the speed. "Then I suppose we better hurry up so you don't end up going late, not further than the expected fashionable late I mean," she said and all of them broke into laughter.

When they got home Ashley quickly dived into the food her grandma had prepared for her meanwhile her mom and aunt informed her grandma of the event today. 

Esme chuckled at the news. "Do we know who the lucky guy is?" she asked and then all of them turned to a blushing Ashley. 

"Is he from school?" Alice asked. 

Ashley shook her head. "What if I tell you after tonight? When I'm sure where it is headed?"

It was the first proper date she was going and it was understandable all the other females' reactions. However, Paul was from La Push and she knew how they reacted. Plus she really didn't want to let her family know without things getting serious.

"Alright, I suppose we could wait a few hours," Rosalie said as she hugged her daughter. 

She smiled as a 'thank you' and focused on finishing her food. "Oh, also, don't tell dad, please, or anyone else, I don't want them to freak out, we all saw how they reacted when I came back from Europe,"
