Chapter 41

**

"I'm not going to wear that!" I exclaimed.

"Why not?" Ashton whined.

"Because that barely covers anything." I said, failing my hands everywhere.

Since Ashton was in bed rest by yours truly, he's been sitting and demanding stuffs. For example, he wants me to wear a nurse costume. Not any nurse, but a slutty nurse. It barely covers anything. To think I'll wear this type of costume is out of question.

"It covers enough." Ashton reasoned.

"You're​ a pervert." I said, angrily.

He stood in front of me. "Babe, I'm just a guy."

"Could have fooled me." I smirked, looking him up and down, scrunching my nose.

He narrowed his eyes at me. "What did you say?" He threatened.

"Well, you know, you don't actually look like a guy. You're weird. But surely not a guy!" I said, smirking at him.

He took a threatening step towards me. "You did not just say that."

"Oh, I did." I said all smug. He looked at me intensely before jumping like a predator. I let out a squeal and made a dash towards the other side of the room, laughing.

"When I get you, Gwen. You so are going to pay for it." He ran towards me. We were running round and round in the room. Ashton was trying to catch me, but what can I say? I'm a great runner. That's when I heard him let out a scream. I stopped instantly. Turning towards Ashton, I see him laying flat on the ground.

"Oh my god, Ashton. What happened?" I asked, worried as I ran towards him. He lay there not opening his eyes. My eyes widen in panic. Shit, what did I do? "Ashton, come on, open your eyes." I shook him, but no response.

I got up and ran towards the bed where my phone was kept. Ashton's parents were out and we were the only one at home. I couldn't call for their help either. Scrolling through my contact, I called Tyler. The phone rang and Tyler picked at the second ring.

"Tyler?" I called, scared.

"What's wrong, Gwen?" He asked, alert.

"It's Ash-" I was cut off with a loud squeal.

Since my back was towards Ashton, I did not see him getting up. He pushed me down on the bed, back flat on the bed as he hovered over me. He took the phone from my hand and answered. "Don't worry. She's fine." He said amongst the shout coming from Tyler. Ending the call, he tossed the phone to the side and placed both his hands on either side of my face.

"Got you." He whispered. His eyes twinkling in mischief.

I gave the best death glare I could muster. "You scared me!" I exclaimed. "It wasn't funny, Ashton. I thought you hit something or from yesterday you were low on oxygen and then you fainted and I was running. I made you run. You need rest and I was teasing you and then-" I was stopped by his lips. He kissed me gently.

To say I was shock would be an understatement. I didn't respond immediately, trying to process that he was kissing me. I struggled and pushed him away. He stared at me confused. My eyes stung. I really thought something happened to him. I started hitting him on his chest as a stray tear fell from my eyes.

"Hey, hey." He stopped me, catching both my wrist in his hands. He placed it on either side of my head. I turned my head so he wouldn't be able to see my tear. I closed my eyes to avoid the embarrassment. He pulled both my hands in his one hand and placed it above my head. He used his other hand to turn my head towards him. "Open your eyes, Gwen."

"No." I said, stubbornly.

"Gwen, open your eyes." He said, firmly.

I prayed my eyes open and looked into his deeply. I bit my lips and turned my head again. He sighed and sat up, pulling me on his lap. I crossed my arms and refuse to see him. I know I was behaving like a kid, but he can't just scare me like that.

"I'm sorry." I still didn't look at him. He pulled me to his chest, hugging me. I felt him run his hands up and down my back. "I didn't want to scare you."

"But you did." I barked.

"And I'm sorry for that." He said, pulling back. Then he pouted, batting his eyes. "Forgive me?"

My eyes narrowed and I kept an angry face. "Fine. But if you do such a thing again, I swear to God, Ashton, I'll castrate you."

He nodded, keeping a straight face or trying to keep a straight face. "A little thing like you will castrate me."

"Don't tempt me. Now that offers seems like a really good idea." I threatened. He laughed and tapped my nose. I scrunched it up, feeling tingles there.

It was really nice spending time with Ashton. My first impression of him was that he was rude, arrogant, smug and having this attitude that he is superior and all. But when I got a chance to know him, he isn't all that. Instead, he is a big softie from inside not matter how much he refuses it. I don't know if he changed or if he used to keep a facade. All I know is that I really like this guy and don't want to leave him. Which brings me to a question.

"Ashton?" I called. He hummed in response. "What are we?"

He pulled back and looked at me in confusion. "What do you mean?"

I looked down, avoiding eye contact. "I mean, we kissed before. You said you like me. And you know I like you. You even made a so called 'claim' on me in front of Lucas. And I'm here with you. So, what are we?"

For a minute, he didn't reply. I heard him sigh. Bring my face up, he kissed me softly. "I really like you, Gwen. I don't like when Lucas tries being all touchy with you or tries to flirt with you. I want you for me only. It may sound possessive, but it's what it is. I would like it to be in a better situation, but I don't think any situation is better than this." I looked at him trying to comprehend as to what he is asking. "So," he paused. "Gwen Wilson, will you be my girlfriend for real?"

A smile started forming on my lips. I tapped my finger on my chin, pretending to think. "Let me think."

Ashton rolled his eyes and tightened his arms around my waist. "I'll force you to be my girlfriend if you say no."

I laughed at this. I never plan on saying no. "I would love to be your girlfriend."

With that Ashton pulled me into a passionate kiss. I smiled and kissed him back, liking the feeling of his lips on mine. I pulled away, straddling him. My hands thread his hair, pulling at it. "You remember when you first came home; you told me I wasn't your type?"

He eyed me carefully and nodded his head slowly. "Yeah. Why?"

I smirked. "If I'm not your type, I should break up with you."

"After just agreeing to be my girlfriend?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I just remembered." I shrugged.

"In that case, you said you won't fall for me." He said, amused. "See where you are now."

I grabbed his head and pulled him close. Our lips barely away. "Who said I fell for you?"

He took hold of the back of my neck and pulled me even closer, if that was even possible. "I did." With that he kissed me.

**

"But why?" I whined as I followed him.

"Because I don't trust him." Will stated.

"We weren't official that time. He won't hurt me, Will." I tried to convince him.

"You said the same thing last time." He stopped walking and faces me. "What did he do in the end? Hurt you."

He walked again towards his room. "But he was confused at that time." I reasoned.

"What makes you think he isn't now?" He asked.

"You saw him. You saw how he was in the hospital. He even hugged me in front you." I said. "That means calling for his own death."

"Yeah. Which I might do."

"William Wilson." I called, making him stop and turn to me with an angry expression. I walked up to him. "Please?" I gave him my best puppy dog face.

His eyes roamed around my face. I could see the conflict in his eyes. "Fine. But I'll talk to him first."

I squeal and hugged him. "Thank you. Thank you."

"Yeah, yeah." He said, rolling his eyes. "You're such a drama queen." I giggled and pulled back. Giving him a big grin, I ran towards my room. Pulling out my phone I called Amber.

"Amber!" I screamed in her ears through the phone.

"Geez! Relax girl. Tell Amber what got you so excited?" She amused.

"Ashton asked me to be his girlfriend." I squealed.

"Really?" She shrieked.

"Yeah!" I screamed.

"Oh my God. Finally. If he would have been any late, I would have knocked some sense in him." She said.

"Me too." I nodded. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"See yeah." She hung up and I called the next person.

"Hello?"

"Tyler?" I screamed.

"Woah, what got you to scream?" He asked, amused.

"Are you free now?" I asked, keeping my cool.

"Yeah. Why?" He asked, curiously.

"Wanna go somewhere? We haven't talked in a while." I shrugged, even if he can't see me.

"Yeah. Okay. Let's go for dinner. I'll pick you up in an hour. Okay?"

"Okay." After that we hung up.

After Ashton asked me to be his girlfriend and me answering him with a yes. I made him rest for a while after all the drama. While he was sleeping, I made him soup. His parents came home earlier than expected. Will had called me the exact same time and asked me to come home. Since Ashton was sleeping, I asked Barbara to give him the soup I made. She assured me that she will.

I bid my goodbye and came home an hour ago. Since then I was trying to make Will okay with our relationship which he said no every time. But in end it was me who won. Claps please.

Today Uncle Ben had cancelled the school. Since school was close, Uncle Ben and Aunt Benny decided to say here with Zach and Leslie. Since everyone was here, it will be good thing for all of us to be together for our fight. Girls vs boys.

Meanwhile, I got ready to meet Tyler. I dressed casually, since we were just going to a local diner. My black ripped jeans with white crop top and a jacket. My hair was up in a pony tail. I paired it with my white shoes. Once I was ready, I walked down the stairs and waited for Tyler in the living room.

"Where are you going?" Jack asked, sitting next to me.

"I'm meeting a friend." I said, while scrolling through my phone.

"What friend?" He asked, curiously.

"Tyler." I said, switching my attention on Jack.

"You mean, Tyler Tyler?" He asked, astonished.

"Yeah. I mean, Tyler Tyler." I snickered.

"He's back?" He asked, shock.

"Jack, if he wasn't back, I wouldn't be going to meet him." I explained, giving him an 'I know you're crazy, but I'm not judging you' look. He just gave me a flat look. I burst out laughing. At the exact time my phone rang. I looked to see Ashton calling. A big grin formed on my lips and a little blush when I saw Jack wiggling his eyebrows.

"Who's Ashton?" He teased.

"No one."

"Sure," he dragged. I was about to pick up when Jack stole the phone from my hand. "Hello?" He answered.

"Jack!" I yelled. "Give me my phone." I got up ran towards him as he hopped around in the room away from me.

"Who's this?" Jack teased on the phone. He might have gotten an answer as he continued. "Ashton, huh?"

"Jack, if you don't give me my phone, I'll make sure you regret it." I threatened.

"Who am I?" He answered and then smirked looking at me. "I'm Gwen's boyfriend." I gave him a horrified look and quickly ran towards him.

"What?" Jack feigns shock. "That means she's cheating on me. You are her boyfriend! But we were dating for so long. It's been a year. She never mentioned me? I'm hurt! She is cheating on you!"

"No, Ashton. Don't listen to this idiot." I yelled, hoping that Ashton heard me. "Jack, it's enough."

This was getting frustrating. Jack was running in front of me, so I jumped on his back making him fall. He cursed as I wrestled him on the floor. I kept his face down and slowly crawled over him and snatched the phone.

"You so are going pay for this Jack!" I screamed in his ears and got up. Then I pulled the phone to my ears. "Do not listen to him, Ashton."

"What is a guy doing at your place?" He asked, quite possessively might I add. "Do you want me to beat the shit out of him? Is he hurting you?"

"No, no!" I said, hurriedly. "You got it wrong. Jack is my cousin. He was teasing me and stole my phone as he saw your name."

"Oh!" I could practically see the blush forming on his face.

"Were you jealous?" I teased, smiling.

"Puff, no." He denied.

I laughed. "I know you Ashton. You so were jealous."

"Whatever." He muttered. I continued laughing. "Anyways, what are you doing now?"

"I'm going on a date." I grinned. I didn't tell him about me and Tyler meeting. This is going to be fun. In fact, I think Ashton and Tyler have to make up. Tyler being my best friend and Ashton being my boyfriend, I want both the boys to make up. Once Ashton warms up to Tyler, it will be easy for him to talk to Will. That reminds me.

"You have to meet Will. He wants to talk." I informed.

"Yeah, I will. But you're going on a date?" He asked. "I don't remember asking you?"

"Yeah, well, I'm not going with you," I teased. I heard Jack laugh in background. I gave him a glare, but he just continued laughing on the floor.

"Then who are you going with?" Ashton asked, angrily.

I don't know why I stopped here, but the next chapter will be fun. Wait for it.

Also, there has been a change in chapter 7. I don't know how, but it got deleted. So I had to write the whole thing again. If you by any chance have read it and confirm that it was almost same, it would help. I might have missed some points which I do not remember. So if any of you have discovered any missing part, please let me know. Message me or something. That would be great.

Thank for being an awesome readers. Love you guys a lot. Until then.
