CHAPTER 12
I'm standing in my room pantless and depressed.
I haven't talked to Ashton in two days.
No texts, calls, or tweets, which is very unlike him.
This whole Alex thing is making him upset for some odd reason.
I reach over and grab my phone from my dresser next to me.
To Ashy Irwin:
Hey, we need to talk. I miss you.
My heart beats harder as I type the last part and click send.
I set my phone down on my bed and pull out my black skinny jeans from the bottom drawer of my dresser.
My phone buzzes as I slip the jeans around my ankles.
I hop over to my bed and plop down, opening my texts.
From Ashy Irwin:
I'm in your kitchen. R u in ur room?
I choke at the last part.
He's in my house?
I stand up, a little too fast because I slip and hit the ground with a thud.
I ignore the throbbing pain in my butt and stand up, getting a head rush.
I jump up and down, bringing the jeans over my hips and quickly buttoning them up.
I rush out of my room and end up colliding right into Ashton.
My palms are pressing into his chest and his large hands are gripping my forearms, keeping me stable.
"Ashton." I breathe.
"Ashton?" He asks quietly, staring into my eyes.
His green eyes twinkle like I just said something life changing.
"That's your name isn't it?" I laugh, clearly I'm not getting the memo.
"That's the first time you've ever said my name." He smiles, his dimples more prominent then ever. "It sounds damn good coming from your mouth."
"What?" I furrow my eyebrows together. "I'm sure I've said it before." I trail off.
He shakes his head.
I mentally facepalm myself as I realize that he's right.
"Oh..Sor-" I'm cut off by the ringing of the doorbell.
Alex.
I'm not even done getting ready yet.
"Crap." I back away from Ashton and go back into my room.
I rush into my bathroom and quickly re-coat my eyelashes in mascara.
"Jor, you look fine." Ashton says as he looks at me in the mirror.
"Jordyn!" I hear my mom yell.
"Coming!"
"Jordyn come on." He whines.
I glare at him and keep applying the thick goo to my eyes.
"Jordyn." He swats the mascara wand out of my hand and it hits the mirror.
"Ashton!" I yell as I quickly grab it and screw it back into the tube.
He leaves the bathroom and I follow him.
With my red converse in his hands, he plops down on my bed.
"Foot up."
"What?"
"Put your foot up."He repeats rolling his eyes.
I do as he commands and he puts a shoe on my right foot and then he puts the other on my left.
I grab my turquoise purse and jog downstairs.
At the bottom waiting for me is Alex.
He has on an electric blue and black checkered flannel that make his eyes pop and black jeans. His blonde curly hair is perfectly tousled and part of it is resting over his left eyebrow.
So in summary, he looks absolutely gorgeous.
"Alex, hey." I say as I give him a quick hug.
"Jordyn you look beautiful." He says as his cheeks turn a light pink.
In response to him blushing, I blush.
"Is this a blushing party or-?" I hear Ashton say behind me.
Alex and I look up at the same time to see Ashton leaning against the wall on the stairs.
"Alex, this is my friend Ashton. Ashton, this is my date, Alex." I sigh.
"Nice to meet you." Alex sends a crooked smile Ashton's way.
His smile was so cute.
"You too." Ashton nods back.
I feel my pockets and check my purse, my phone isn't in either of those places.
I must've left it upstairs.
"I need to go grab my phone, be right back." I say as I practically sprint up the stairs.
I burst into my bedroom and almost trip on the corner of my dresser.
My phone isn't on my bed and that's where I thought I left it.
I practically strip my whole bed and don't find my phone.
I go through everything on the counter in my bathroom and couldn't find it.
As I'm coming out of the bathroom I see the little devil.
It's perched in a pile of my dirty t-shirts.
I quickly snatch it up and sprint out of my room.
My mom is standing talking to Alex and Ashton is watching me walk down the stairs.
"Hey," He whispers while grabbing my arm, "Be careful with him, he seems sketchy."
I give him a weird look and continue down the stairs.
"Ready Jordyn?" Alex smiles at me.
"Yep."
"Bye Honey, have fun." My mom says as Alex and I walk out the door.
I look up at my incredibly handsome date.
He doesn't seem sketchy to me.
