gan's POV
"Even if I want to go and watch Ashton's ga, I can't because we have work, rember?" I asked Alice, and her face fell.
"Yeah, I am sorry, Oscar, I tried to win this round, but I have forgotten we are busy preparing for our future; that is why we can't be with you this Saturday," Alice said to Oscar, and I can't stop myself from smiling even if deep in my heart I can feel my inner self is telling to do it so that Ashton will be proud of as well.
"Why can't you take a leave from your part-ti job? Besides, it is only a part-ti job, not an actual job, and you can quit anyti and find another one." He said.
"It is easy for you to say because you don't need to work hard like us, but we can't be there this coming Saturday because Lauren already paid us in advance," Alice said, and Oscar shook his head, and I could tell he looked so defeated.
"How I wish I am you, gan, because I will never hide Ashton Pritzgold." He said, and I felt guilty and hurt at the sa ti.
"It wouldn't be that easy, Oscar, if you only know how much I wanted to walk around campus holding hands with him like the last ti, but I already knew the consequences, so I will not do it again. Besides, we don't need approval from everyone, and what is important is we will find ti to be with each other." I said.
"I know, gan, but boys need assurance too; they want to feel secure with their girlfriends. I am not asking you to do it, g, but I want to share with you my points of view. I know Ashton will respect your decision, but deep in his heart, he wanted you to co and watch his ga. Just do a favor by reading his post tonight after you answer all your assignnts." He said, and I nodded my head at him.
I could no longer concentrate during my afternoon classes because I couldn't stop thinking about what Oscar had told . I know he was trying to be nice because he is my close friend, and Oscar has a point. I know Ashton would love it if we could be free to show our love for each other. Still, there are a lot of things we need to consider before I can decide about it, and I know I will end up choosing the sa agreent that we have, and that is to keep our relationship secret from the rest of the world except our close friends and family mber except Ashton's parents.
I am excited to et Ashton tonight after work, but I don't know how to face him, knowing I can't show up during his football ga this Saturday. I wanted to co ho after class and ask Anthony to be absent from my work today because I a not feeling well. And as the final bell rang that signaled the day had ended, I got up from my chair, and together with my best friend, we walked towards the school exit.
"Hey, I think I will be absent today, " I said.
"Because you are lovesick?" She asked, and my eyes widened.
"Co on, gan, I know you. You will still report to class even if you are not feeling well or if there is a storm. You dedicate all your ti to your studies and work, so you can't fool , girl. I am just glad you don't have an activity for your math club." Alice added, and I smiled weakly at her.
"I can't face him tonight, Alice," I said.
"Hey, don't listen to Oscar; besides, if Ashton wanted it, he would ask or beg you to do it, g." She said, and I smiled at her.
"You are excited to see him tonight, right?" My best friend asked , and I nodded my head at her.
"Then don't bail on him. You need to go to the fish shop so you can relax your mind. Watching those pets will clear your head." She said, and I smiled at Alice.
"And I am sure the mont you will be with Ashton, you will forget that we have this conversation." She added, and I laughed.
"That's it, and you need to laugh more often, g. Always rember not to carry the world on your shoulders. Sotis you can ask to carry it for you." She said aningfully, and it lted my heart.
"You don't need to carry it for , Alice, when you know you help to make it lighter, and thank you for always being here with ," I said, and she nodded at .
"I will always be your best friend, g." She said.
"Is there sothing you want to tell ?" I asked, and I could tell there was also sothing that bothered her, and I felt guilty that she always makes sure I am fine, and I didn't even ask her if she was okay.
"No, I am fine." She replied.
"Hey, you can tell anything. I am also willing to carry the world for you." I declared, and she laughed.
"No copying of lines, gan." She said, and I laughed with her, and we almost missed our stop because we couldn't stop talking with each other.
Alice was right the mont I entertained custors and showed them around, I could tell my mood suddenly changed, and I felt better, and when I fed the fishes, I felt so happy to see them enjoying their al. We cleaned so of the tanks, and we got so busy the entire shift, and I am so thankful to Alice, or else I will be sulking in my room thinking I should be here working.
And before we knew it, our shift ended, and we got out from the fish shop hurriedly, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw my boyfriend waiting for outside his car. He waved his hand at Alice, and my best friend said goodbye to , and then she walked fast, going ho. And I felt so glad I listened to Alice, or I would not be smiling right now as I walked towards Ashton. He was staring at my face the entire ti, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited when he gazed at my lips while he was biting his lower lip, and I suddenly felt so hot.
"Hey!" He said, and his voice made feel lightheaded, and there was only one thing playing on my mind. Ashton must have read my thoughts because he pulled closer to him, and he captured my lips right away, and I closed my eyes when I tasted his sensual lips, and he made moan before he let go of my lips.
"I don't want to stop kissing you, gan, because I am missing you so much. I hate that I couldn't hold your hands while we are at the Academy, and right now, I want to take you into my arms and hold you so that I will know that you are here and we are together. I love spending every mont with you." He said, and his sexy masculine voice made my knees feel so weak.
"I miss you too, Ashton, " I said, and he bead at , and he took my hand and helped settled on the front seat, and when he buckled my seatbelt, his proximity drives nuts, and I want to kiss him, and he didn't disappoint when Ashton devoured my mouth once again before he went to the driver's seat.
"g, would it be alright if I take you to dinner before I take you ho?" He asked, and I smiled at him.
"Do you have sothing in mind?" He asked .
"I want to eat pasta," I said, and he grinned at .
"It feels like we have the sa mind, gan, I was also thinking the sa thing, and do you know what it ans?" He asked , and I shook my head.
"We are ant to be." He said with a beautiful smile on his face, and I giggled as he drove away from the parking lot, and I felt so happy to have another date with my boyfriend.
Ashton brought to the nearest Italian restaurant near our location, and I felt so happy that my cravings were satisfied and not only that I was eating my pasta with a beautiful view. Aston Priztgold was eating his food in front of while he was staring at from ti to ti, and it felt so good to have this mont with him. And when it was ti for us to go, I wanted more, and I realized my friends were right. I should never hide my relationship with him because Ashton is sweet and a responsible boyfriend. He always makes feel special, and I can feel his sincerity through his actions, and his words always make feel good.
And even if I know the consequences, it still feels fantastic to be with him, and I want to show everyone I am his girl. Even before I read his post, I could tell I was having a change of heart, but I felt worried because I couldn't be absent at Lauren's place.. Since Lauren will be at the ga, she will know if I will be there, and of course, everybody will know I was there because that is when I will show the world I am proud to be called Ashton's girlfriend.
