Chapter 46

**

I was sitting on the counter with Ashton in between my legs. I smiled at him, blushing red. Ashton chuckled and leaned in to kiss me. I can't believe he confessed. I knew I love him, but him feeling the same way and approaching me first, made my heart burst with happiness.

A cough broke us apart. My eyes widen at the possibility of it being one of my brothers. I mean, they wouldn't want to see their little sister sitting on the counter with her half naked boyfriend standing in between her legs, kissing.

Ashton on the other hand was annoyed. His face turned into scowl. "What?" He grumbled angrily.

I hit Ashton on his chest. I tilted my head to the side to see a very amuse Alex standing there. I rolled my eyes as Alex entered. He smirked while walking towards us. I saw something shine from his pocket.

"So? What do you want?" I asked him. Since Ashton didn't move from his place, my guess is that he knows it's Alex or else by now one of my brothers would have torn us apart.

"Oh you know, just wanted revenge," he said, shrugging.

"Revenge?" I asked, slowly as I saw him pulling the shinny thing out of his pocket. When I saw what exactly it is, my eyes widen.

It was a freaking handcuff.

My panic eyes snapped to Alex as he smirked. Before I had a time to react, Alex swiftly moved closer to us and took my right wrist and Ashton's right wrist and cuffed us together.

"Alex! What the hell?" I screeched. He just snickered and ran out of the door.

My horrified face turned towards Ashton who was yet to react. When I saw his face, my jaws fell open. He was smirking at me, looking all smug.

"Ashton? What is this?" I asked, jiggling our cuffed hands in between us.

"Just a handcuff." He said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"You can't just handcuff us! Let's go, we have to bring the keys from Alex!" I said, trying to push Ashton and get down, but he had other plans.

He just placed his both hands on my waist and stilled me in place. "He doesn't have the key."

"Then who does?" I asked, curiously.

"I don't know," he said, shrugging.

"Ashton, don't fool around. Tell me! We have to get out of this," I said, jiggling our hands up and down. Not that I mind being handcuff with him. I mean, I like being with him all the time, but I don't think my brothers will think the same thing.

"Sorry, princess, but we don't have the key."

"You don't have the key or did you throw the key away?" I asked, knowing him well.

He gave me a sheepish smile. "Same thing."

"Oh my god, Ashton-"

He cut me off with a kiss. "I wanted to spend the night with you. And no matter what, your brothers wouldn't allow it. What's best thing to say– we are cuffed and don't have the key?"

"What if they ask you about the key?" I asked.

"Simple. It was a part of the prank. Just backfired." He said, smirking. He pulled me close to him so that our chest was pressed together. "Couldn't let the opportunity pass, could I?"

I blushed and mumbled under my breath. "Shut up."

He laughed and pulled me down. "Come on. I have to shower."

"What?" I screeched and pulled Ashton to stop who was pulling me in the shower.

"Why, are you nervous?" He asked, pulling me flush against him. "Besides, I'm all icky. Can't stay this way."

"But I don't have a dress to change into. If you have forgotten I can't change with my one hand cuff to yours," I said, placing a hand on my hips. 

"Don't worry about it, princess. I have that arranged."

"How?"

"I asked Amber to buy you a strapless dress. You can wear that easily." Without waiting for my reply, he pulled us in the shower.

Let's just say the shower wasn't all innocent. The shower scene was a little intimate. After the shower, my current clothes were sticking to me like a second skin. We had to change. I suggested or more like ordered that we will change separately. To say Ashton was sulking would be an understatement.

While I change, Ashton would stand outside my bathroom with both our hands outside. Couldn't risk Ashton touching inappropriately. He gave me the dress and I went to change. The dress was strapless, which means my neck was on display. It fitted my chest fine and flared down my waist. It came to my mid thigh. It wasn't too short nor too long. Damn, Ashton!

After I was done and after getting a few suggestive look from Ashton, he was next to change. He changed into Ryan's sweats, but didn't put on a shirt. Since, our hands were cuffed together, he couldn't put on a shirt. So basically, he was shirtless.

"Come on, let's go." Ashton pulled me towards the theatre room where the rest of them were.

Loud noises were coming from the theatre room when we reached. As soon as I pulled the door open, they were fighting over a movie. Like really fighting. Lucas and Alex were wrestling on the floor while Chris and Amber were shouting at each other's face.

A loud whistle stopped all of them. "Shut up!" Will screamed. "We'll watch horror."

Again, as if Will wasn't there, they began shouting. Nate looked up to see me and Ashton enter. He narrowed his eyes at my dress and then at a shirtless Ashton. His eyes trailed towards our hands cuffed together.

"Bloody hell!" He yelled and rushed towards us. "What the hell are you wearing?"

The question was directed towards me. But by the time I could reply, all my brothers appeared in front of me. They all had their eyes narrowed at my and Ashton cuffed hands. Since it was my right and also Ashton's right, he had to stand behind me to keep our cuffed hands together without hurting each other so he placed our cuffed hands on my hips. I could see the gear wheeling in their head.

"We were cuffed together. So after the shower we had to wear something that is not related to us using our hands." Ashton said, shrugging. But I saw the faint smirk on his lips.

"Shower? Together?" Max screeched in horror.

"Yup!"

I glared at Ashton for making it seem so wrong when it wasn't even close to it. Maybe a little, but we didn't do anything dirty. I saw Will wanting to bash Ashton head out, but before he could, I explained the situation and that we didn't do nasty. All the while Ashton made inappropriate comments which earned a lot of slap from me.

After settling down and listening to threats that were thrown at Ashton if he tried anything, he'll be killed, we started the movie. Ashton made a point to make us sit away from all my brothers. Anyway, they would be busy with their girlfriends to actually see us.

We sat on a single seat couch or more like Ashton sat there and pulled me on his lap. My breath caught in my throat and butterflies flying in my stomach. He was shirtless and my back was pressed against his as he placed our hands around my stomach.

During the movie, I was clutching on Ashton to my dear life since the movie was scary. Suddenly, I felt his hand move the hair over to right shoulder so my left sided neck was bare to him. He starts placing small kisses all over my neck. My cuffed hand intertwined tightly around his as I cranked my neck to the side to give him more access. My heart was beating fast and I wanted to moan out loud, but bit my lips to stop myself. He started sucking at my sweet spot and a low moan escaped my mouth. I'm sure he left a purple hickey at that spot.

He moved his lips from my neck to my ears. "You look beautiful in this dress."

I blushed, but since my back was to him, Ashton couldn't see me. I turned around and kissed him. He deepens the kiss and smiled. I pulled back and chuckled. "I love you."

His eyes went to my lips and then to my eyes. He pecked my lips and whispered. "I love you too."

"How are we going to do this?" Alexis whispered.

"Just squeeze it on their hand. They shouldn't feel ticklish. That's for morning." I explained, slowly.

"You can't even do anything." Amber muttered.

"Not my fault. Blame it on Alex," I said, shrugging. I heard Leslie mutter something under her breath. Both Amber and I raised our eyebrows. She just shrugged and continued with Ethan.

"Give me the marker." I demanded. "This duffus needs to learn some lesson," I said, jerking my head towards Ashton who was, by the way, using me as his pillow.

Brittany passed me the marker and I started drawing gibberish on his face. He's going to be so mad at me, but do I care? Ha! I guess not. This is a payback for handcuffing me without my consent. Even if he had asked, I would have said no, but yeah whatever. Revenge is revenge. They think what we did was the last thing, but this was the main thing we planned from the beginning.

What we were doing is going to be a curse marathon by guys in the morning. The girls decided to be away from this, but since I'm stuck with my boyfriend here, I think I have a disadvantage. But well, we have to remove this anyway. So yeah! No problem.

After everything was set up, all the girls let out an evil laugh. And then suddenly, Tyler stirred. Everyone stilled. Like really stilled. Sophia stopped mid-way of putting whatever she was putting on Will and Nate's hand. Marta stopped drawing on Zach's face. The only stupid in our group was Leslie, who was still continuing while muttering under her breath.

"Leslie." Brittany whisper-yelled. Leslie still didn't listen. Damn that girl. It's night and the voice echoes and she still hasn't listened.

Alexis slowly got up without making noise and went up to Leslie. As soon as she was in a distance, Alexis hit the back of Leslie's head. She jerked up about to shout or curse, but stilled when she saw Tyler still moving.

Now all our attention turned towards Tyler. Soon enough Tyler stopped and we all sighed in relief. I sacked against Ashton who tighten his grip, but didn't wake up.

After we were done, the other girls kept their distance from the guys, but me being poor me, couldn't. But nothing was done with Ashton since I was connected to him, except the doodles I drew on him, other than that he was clean. Let's say, there are perks of having an awesome girlfriend like me.

Sleeping in Ashton's arms made me feel safe and warm. My eyes started dropping and soon enough I was asleep.

**

"Gwen!" Someone nudged me.

"Go away," I mumbled and snuggled closer towards the warm.

"For god sake, wake up," someone whisper-yelled in my ears. I swatted the hands away that were waking me with my uncuffed hand. A soft groan was heard. I smiled satisfied.

Suddenly I felt a slight pain on my forehead. I winced from the pain and sat up. Looking around for the source of my pain. My eyes stopped on Leslie who had an annoyed expression on her face.

"What?" I yelled. Again a hand slapped on my mouth.

"Stop shouting. The guys are yet to wake up!" Amber exclaimed. Sophia and Marta looked like they could drop any moment. Brittany was irritating a sleeping Jack while Leslie and Amber were with me. "Come on! We have to continue with our plan."

Rubbing my eyes, I tried to sit properly, but Ashton had other plans. He pulled me down again and against his chest. I sighed and looked at them, helplessly.

"I knew it would be difficult to ask for your help." Amber sighed and went to Chris.

"Nothing with Ashton!" I warned. They rolled their eyes and nodded.

We had planned a last prank on them. We had marker pens of different colors, toothpaste and whipped cream. Marker pens were used to draw different pattern on them. Whipped cream and toothpaste were smudged on their hand. We'll tickle them and as soon as they go to scratch the itchiness, whipped cream and toothpaste will be all over their face.

Alexis passed on the feather and they began tickling them on their nose and ears. I giggled when Will's nose twitched when Sophia tickled him with feather. It was hilarious to see their face. Soon enough Tyler was the one to scratch his itchiness, but as soon as he went to scratch, the toothpaste in his hand was all over his face. I heard a consecutive slap from all over and loud groans followed along. Seeing all their faces white with paste and whipped cream, we girls started laughing.

The look on the boys face was priceless. They looked confused and even disgusted. Ryan got up and looked into the mirror. His eyes widen as he looked at him and all the boys. They looked at each other as we continued laughing. And the curses began!

Then their eyes focused on us, except Ashton who was sitting behind me. He leaned his head on my shoulder and smirked at the rest. He was alone without any toothpaste or whipped cream. I can't say the same about marker pens and doodles though.

"You all are so dead!" They yelled.

"Girls win!" Leslie laughed, running out of the room. Soon the girls followed. I being stuck with Ashton was still sitting with him while the other guys ran out. So Ashton and I were alone.

"So you guys won, huh?" He asked, still leaned his head on my shoulder.

I turned my head towards him. "Yeah." I said, smiling. "But I think you should see your face once."

Ashton's faced turned into one of confusion while my laughter rang throughout the room.
