Troublesome Thoughts

Julie's pov:

I've got to admit, it's pretty fun being in a gym class with your boyfriend...

Especially since it's Ashton.

Before him, English has always been my favorite class of the day, but now, I think I look forward to gym the most.

Maybe because not only for once in my life do I have a gym partner to do everything with and not have to worry about awkwardly throwing a ball with some random person...

Not like, heh-...

That uhm-...

Ever happened before.

Heh...

But I've got Ashton, the most playful, free spirited, goofy, and mischievous person I've ever met.

Gym class has NEVER disappointed me since I've been with him.

From our competitive running warmup that results in me always losing unless Ashton feels bad and let's me win...

To always having someone to joke around with during kickball, to make fun of my horrible soccer skills, and to dramatically jump in front of me during dodgeball.

But as all good things come to an end, there was one thing that had to be taken for a couple weeks before the end of the year...

Health class.

Honestly, it wasn't that bad at first.

Having Ashton sitting right next to me, he kept the class pretty interesting.

There would be times where we would pass a sticky note back and forth.

Which basically ended up with him writing down countless cheesy pick up lines, some causing me to blush while others made me have to hold back a laugh.

We would also take markers and draw on each other's hands and arms, which in many cases resulted in me having to embarrassingly walk in to my last class with "Ashton is sexy" written across my arm.

Although there were also times where I had to save Ashton's butt from detention, like when he almost broke the gigantic human skeleton by deciding to tango with it.

I don't know what the teacher was even thinking when they decided to leave the room in the middle of class even if they knew that they had one of the most troublesome students in their class.

I mean, I do as much as I can to save Ashton from getting himself almost expelled from his senior year of school... I really do!

But as of now, we still can't make plans on Saturday mornings because there is a 9/10 chance that he will have detention.

It only took me after the third week of dating Ashton to realize that.

But back to what I was saying, health class wasn't bad...

Until the third chapter...

Sex Ed.

Yes, I was already aware of what happens when two people fall in love with each other and I'm a thousand percent sure that Ashton knows too.

But it was the fact that neither I or Ashton have ever brought it up with each other that made the lesson awkward.

I have to admit though, it kinda makes me feel better that Ashton hasn't had a girlfriend before because I have no one that I feel like I would have to compare myself to.

Yet then again, it only makes me think more about whether or not doing it has ever been on his mind.

Was it??!!

The most we've ever done was kiss, hug, cuddle, and...

Uhm...

Make out.

BUT! That was with all of our clothes on and really no intention to take it any further...

Well at least that is what I always thought...

This is whole Sex Ed lesson has made me wonder otherwise though.

Sometimes when the teacher would be talking, I would glance over at Ashton to see if he would have any reaction to what the teacher was saying, but it was always the same...

Unbothered.

He acted the same way as before the lesson, acting goofy, passing sticky notes, and drawing on my arm.

There was not one indication that made me believe that Ashton was thinking about whatever the teacher was talking about, which did make me feel a lot better.

But I still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when the teacher would get deep into the lesson and Ashton was sitting so close that our shoulders would be touching.

I love sharing a desk with him but sometimes I want to just sit in the corner of the room and hide my face behind a stack of books.

But let's fast forward to present time now, it is one of the last couple days of the chapter, which I can't help but feel completely grateful for.

"Okay class!" The teachers claps his hands together, causing a few students to wake up from falling asleep during another one of his lessons.

"I know for the last two chapters I've given out chapter tests, but I've decided to switch it up this year for this chapter!"

There were a few excited cheers while others perked there heads up at his words.

...And some were still waking up.

"I've decided that instead of a test, you will turn in a presentation on everything that you've learned this chapter. You can work in partners or in a group of three, but the work must be split equally to earn full credit."

Not long after he explains the presentation, the bell rings signaling that the class was over.

I begin to pack up all my stuff and put it into my backpack, but a hand on mine stops me.

"So, my place after school princess?" Ashton asks, throwing me a wink.

"What makes you think that we are working together?" I say, obviously joking.

"I don't know, maybe this?" Before I could react, he puts one hand behind my head to hold me in place before kissing my lips.

It only lasts for a couple of seconds before he pulls away, a smile dancing on his lips.

"And you were saying..." he says, finding amusement from my pink cheeks.

"I told you to stop kissing me during school." I whine, feeling embarrassed that there were still students in the room that could have seem the kiss.

Even if we were dating, I never really felt comfortable with public affection, but Ashton on the other hand...

"I'm sorry baby you know I can't help myself from kissing such kissable lips." He says in a baby voice, teasingly squeezing my lips together.

I push his hands away, a playful pout on my lips, "What am I going to do with you?"

"Love me." He bites his lip, pulling me closer to him, but before things could begin to escalate, I push him away,

"We're going to be late to class." I scold, grabbing my books and putting them in my backpack.

Another thing that comes in the packaged deal with dating Ashton...

Being late...

Everywhere.

"You know, we could just skip~..." he sings playfully, grabbing my backpack from me and holding it behind his back.

"Ashton... you know we can't." I reason, trying to reach behind him and grab my backpack, but everytime I would try, he would angle his body differently, making it so I couldn't reach my bag.

Freakin... buttface.

"And who's gonna stop us?" He grins cheekily, enjoying how I couldn't get my backpack.

"Two words, your mother." I say, before successfully grabbing my backpack and pulling it out of his grip.

He pouts cutely, puckering his lips in the process.

Laughing at his reaction, I reach up and peck his lips, quickly pulling away before he had the chance to take it further, "I'll see you after school, okay? Just one class."

He sighs before nodding his head and putting his stuff in his backpack, following me out of the classroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did end being late to class by the way, but I don't think the teacher minded since I was one of her top students in the class...

Not to brag or anything.

I really don't normally aim to be a teachers pet or anything, but when it comes to having a boyfriend who has almost gotten you in trouble...

Numerous of times...

It's pretty helpful.

"Boo!" A voice suddenly shouts in my ear, causing me to drop the book that was in my hand while I was about to put it in my locker.

"Ashton!" I gasp, holding my hand over my chest while turning to face a smirking Ashton.

He then bends down to pick up my book off the ground before stepping closer to me, reaching to put my book in my locker.

He then shuts my locker but keeps his hand on it, trapping me between his body and his arm, "Are you ready to go princess?"

I blush, looking away from him, giving a shy nod.

He grabs my hand as we walk together to his car.

"You know, I'm still getting used to you taking me home everyday, I'm so used to you always having practice after school."

He nods his head, opening the passenger door for me, "I know, but it was a good season, it just sucks that it was the last."

"Hey," I reach out, holding his arm, "remember what coach said, you are always welcomed at the boxing arena, it's not like you are leaving boxing for good."

He gives me a small smile, nodding his head before closing the passenger door and jogging to the drivers seat, quickly getting in.

"So are we actually during the project today or do we want to just save it for last minute and hangout, and by that I mean makeout-..."

"-...AS good as that sounds," I laugh, patting his hand that was placed on my thigh, "I think we should stick to the first option, for the sake of my stress levels."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Books, papers and food wrappers scattered across the ground, I look up at Ashton as he was quickly typing away on his laptop, his eyes focused intently on the screen.

...

I'm not saying that he looks hot when he's focused but he definitely looks hot when he's focused.

I sigh, looking back at the presentation, happy that we were halfway done, but upset that we were only halfway done after it's been almost three hours.

Again, I re-read the words that were written on the slide of the presentation that I was working on, feeling my stomach flip every time I would do so.

Researchers learned that, on average, men think about sex 19 times a day.

I look up at Ashton, wanting to explain to him all of the countless thoughts that have been on my mind lately.

I have come to the understanding that as much as I have tried to let this whole thing go, I just couldn't.

Not knowing what his thoughts about it was eating me alive!

I open my mouth, ready to call out his name, but before any sound could come out, I quickly close it, looking back at my computer.

Why can't I just be brave for once!

It's normal for couples to talk about things like this...

But why can't I?

Unknowingly, I let out another sigh, catching the attention of Ashton, who looks over at me before shutting his laptop.

"Baby, how about we take a break? You seem frustrated."

I quickly shake my head, grabbing a textbook and placing it on my lap, "I'm okay."

"But-..."

"Ashy, I really don't need a break, let's just finish this presentation and turn it in early... so maybe I can get it out of my head." I mutter the last part.

It went quiet for a few seconds as he doesn't respond, causing me to look up at him curiously, just to see that he was already looking back at me, a frown evident upon his face.

We make eye contact for a few more seconds before I nervously pull away.

"That's it!" Confused, I look back at him to see him standing up and walking towards me, taking a seat right next to me on the floor.

He then takes the textbook out of my lap and closes the laptop gently before putting it on his bed.

"What are you-..." he continues to not say a word as he then grabs my waist, placing me on his lap before wrapping his arms around me.

"Something is bothering you baby, I know because you've been so silent ever since we started working on this presentation, what's wrong?" He asks, grabbing my chin and moving my face to look at him.

I couldn't help but feel my heartbeat quicken as I nervously try to gather my thoughts in my head.

"I just-...well... I- I uhm..." I stutter, a habit when I start to feel nervous or pressured.

Ashton takes notice of this, grabbing and strand of my hair and moving it behind my ear, "You can tell me anything, I'm here to listen to what ever is bothering you."

Taking in his words, I take a deep breath, "For the past few weeks actually... there has been something that has been bothering me."

Ashton continues to stare at me, nodding his head signaling for me to continue.

"E-Ever since uhm, this chapter started really." I point towards all the papers that were thrown across the floor.

Ashton looks to where I was pointing, his eyes furrowed in confusion, "You mean this has something to do with the class?"

"Well... uhm... it's more about... the content part."

He looked back at me, thinking for a few seconds before his eyes widened, "Oh..."

I look down, a blush on my cheeks, "Yeah..."

I begin to twiddle my thumbs, his silence from him thinking just made my nerves skyrocket even more.

"Baby..."

I look up at him, staring into his eyes as his soften before he kisses my forehead lovingly.

"If you were so worried about this, why didn't you just ask me?"

"I guess... I was just scared to ask." I say, feeling slightly embarrassed for admitting it out loud.

"Julie I love you so... so so so so so much. You shouldn't be afraid to ask me anything. And to answer your question, have I ever thought about it? Well yes... but not in some hornish, teen boy way that you might think. When I think about it, I think about someday in the future, when we are both ready to share our love for one another. I want it to be special for both of us, especially for you, and for that, I'm willing to wait for however long it may take."

I feel my eyes begin to tear up as my heart clenches at his words, "Ashton... I love you. Really, I feel like I don't deserve-..."

"Don't you dare finish that sentence, if anything, it's the other way around. But if something is ever bothering you like that, please tell me. We are a team, and I'm here for you." He says, pulling me into a hug as he snakes his head into my neck.

"And I'm here for you, no matter what." I say, running a hand through his hair as I instantly relax from his calming scent around me, feeling all of my nerves quickly disappear.

"I love you Julie."

"I love you too Ashton."
