She looked at a cute purple shirt, not sure if she liked it or not, setting it aside and glancing up again at the star. Oh shit! He was looking right at her. Ashton could have fainted.
~!~
They looked at each other for a second, Bill not looking away and Ashton too stunned to know what to do. At some point, she came back to her senses, blushes deeply and looked down. What had just happened? Did she just have eye contact with THE Bill Kaulitz? What in the world was going on? She wondered if he was still looking. Should she chance another glance? She decided to chance it and looked up again. He was looking at the sunglasses but looked at her and smiled. She let out a quiet squeak and looked down, though looked at him and smiled a bit, blushing. She looked at him as he gave a small, half-smirk smile. She couldn't help but giggle a bit at the smile he'd given her. It was so quirky, and so…him. It just suited him really well.
As she wandered around the store, she constantly shot glances at the blonde male, blushing and grinning when he caught her and smiled back. What were they doing? Were they actually flirting with one another? Bill Kaulitz and her, flirting? There's no way that this is actually happening. Ashton got so deep into her thoughts, and the occasional glance that she had completely forgotten about Vanessa until she appeared suddenly beside her.
"Ash, do you like these shoes? I think I'm going to get them?" Vanessa's voice popped up out of nowhere, making Ashton yelp and jump in surprise. She blushed as she heard the tall star chuckle lightly, having obviously seen her little episode. Looking at Vanessa, slightly annoyed at the fact that she had just embarrassed herself, she glanced at the shoes. They were high-heeled red pumps with white polka dots. Totally something that Vanessa would pick out, of course. Rolling her eyes, Ashton smiles and nodded. "They look great! Go get 'um girl." Watching Vanessa bounce over to the cash register, Ashton sighed and looked to where Bill was, only to see he wasn't there, but now in front of her. She tensed, unable to hold back a bit of nervousness at having the star so close. Looking up at him, she couldn't help but blush deeply. They had just been flirting throughout the entire store, so now what? She wasn't sure how she would react if he would start talking to her, but she was about to find out.
"Hallo," his voice was soft, and a smirk was playing at his lips. Ashton felt her knees weaken but she managed to keep it together. She desperately hoped that it wasn't noticeable how she could barely stand. His eyes were looking right at her, and she just looked at him, easily getting lost in them. It was like they never ended, like a window right into his mind. And right now, it was showing a mischievous look from the male. Wait, he was still flirting with her?! God, what was she supposed to say? Was she supposed to say anything? Sure it was fine when all she had to do was smile and blush and act cute, but now she had to actually say stuff, and not just any stuff, but something smart and funny and cute and oh my gosh this is just so much pressure! Ashton had to admit, the piercings and even the small amount of facial hair suited the other. It made the atmosphere around even more…what would she call it? Masculine….not that he wasn't already, but now…he pretty much radiated sex appeal. Anybody could agree to that. Even Vanessa would say that he looked hot, Ashton was sure of it. Realizing she had been rambling in her mind to herself for probably too long, and hoping the other hadn't been weirded out she blinked and smiled at him, acting as if she wasn't talking to possibly the hottest vocalist in the world.
"I…I'm sorry...," Ashton blushed deeply and looked up at him smiling softly. God, he was gorgeous. "Hello…." Wow, Ashton. You're so smart. 'Hello!'. Is that really all you could think of to say? He's going to think you're the most boring girl he's ever met and regret the last ten minutes you two were gawking over each other! Maybe he wasn't looking at her, and he was flirting with someone behind her ,and was coming to tell her to stop staring at him. It was a possibility…if Bill was accustomed to flirting with clothes! There was nobody but the three of them and the store owner inside. Vanessa hadn't even noticed him, so unless he was attracted to middle-aged chain smoking men (a.k.a the store owner), then it was definitely her. God, stop mind rambling! He's going to think you're crazy! Surprisingly, she heard him laugh lightly and she looked to him. She wondered if he thought she knew who he was or not. Probably not, or he would be running from her, not doubt.
"Cute," his voice spoke up. Ashton just stared at him, eyes wide. Did she just hear that correctly?
"Eehhh?" She knew the sound she made could have in no way been attractive, but for some reason she just didn't really care. Bill chuckled and smirked at her. He was totally checking her out! What the hell?! What was she supposed to do? Okay, sex ed didn't teach you what to do when a celebrity starts checking you out and flirting with you! Gah!
"You're not from around here, are you?" His voice spoke up again. She just looked at him and shook her head. She wasn't sure how he knew that. How could it possibly be that noticeable that she wasn't from LA? She didn't live more than four hours away, how different from them could she look? He must have noticed her confused gaze because he laughed again. God, that laugh was pure heaven. "You're not used to talking with celebrities is all," he explained. So obviously, he knew that she knew who he was, but just like Ashton she had to go and say something stupid.
"In my town it's not common to run into good looking German superstars…" Oh my god, did she really just say that?! Covering her mouth, a deep red blush on her cheeks from embarrassment, she looked at him, hoping her little outburst hadn't scared him away, but he was just standing there with that quirky grin on his face Ashton grinned seeing his quirky smile and giggled a little. For some reason, it didn't take long at all before she felt comfortable talking with him, despite her mouth's retardedness of spilling out anything she thought of. Bill was watching Ashton intently as if on the verge of saying something. She waited patiently but nervously, a smile still on her lips.
"So, you know who I am, but what's your name, sexy?" Ashton blushed and looked at him. "Ashton…yeah, I know it sounds like a boy's name but I swear it's a girl's name, too. I swear it!" She knew that her ever so common rant about her name was annoying, but really just hated when people said that she had a boy's name, because it really wasn't! It worked for both men and woman, and she had even met a few girls with her name before. It wasn't even that uncommon! Sometimes she figured that people just made fun of her name because they were bored. Like honestly, don't they have anything better to do with their time besides saying stupid things? Not that she could really say anything. Although it was completely different, she had pretty much been saying and asking stupid things throughout the entire conversation. Bill smirked and touched her cheek. Wow, such a charmer. Of course, she could have only guessed that beforehand. She had heard about the twin's "partying" and "make-out dates" but for some reason, it just seemed different this time. She knew that although there wasn't near as much press about it as with Bill's brother Tom, that Bill was just as guilty for the womanizing as his brother. She knew to watch out for it, but she couldn't detect any signs of "womanizing auras" from Bill. Ha! God, even she didn't like calling it that. He wasn't dressed like someone who was out to pick up chicks, though he did look quite nice. He was wearing simple black jeans, a white belt and a loose blank tank top with a few long necklaces and black, fingerless gloves and a pair of Elton John styled sunglasses hanging off the shirt. Ashton even noticed a new tattoo on his chest and the addition to the tattoo on his side.
"Well then," Bill said chuckling, and resting an arm on the table beside them, looking at her intently, "Ashton…how about you let me take you out tonight? Maybe dinner and some dancing?" Smirking at her, he waited for the answer, though already expecting a yes. Who would ever say no to THE Mr. Bill Kaulitz? Looking at her, he saw uncertainty which was odd. Did he had something in his teeth or something? What was taking her so long to answer? Ashton just stared at him. Bill…Kaulitz…asked her out….to dinner….and…dancing? Oh my god…what in the world was she going to do? She was only here for the night and they were leaving the next morning…but, could she really turn down a date with the only man in the world she had thought more than two minutes about…well him and Cameron…oh damn…what about Cameron? Could she agree on a date with Bill, while knowing that she had feelings towards Cameron…? But Bill was interested in her now, and she had no idea of Cameron even felt the same way about her, and even if he did, did he want a relationship? It didn't really seem so.
Smiling at Bill, she nodded. "Dinner sounds great! Um…we're staying at the Super Eight just a little bit off the beach…if you, uh…yeah," smooth Ashton, real smooth, "what time were you thinking?" Bill grinned. He was actually worried that he had lost his touch for a second there, but he knew that nobody could resist his charm. Grinning, he made a mental note of the motel, knowing exactly where it was, and nodded to her.
"How about around six? Sound good?" Bill raised an eyebrow. He we hoping to get it all sorted out since his brother was waiting for him at home. Ashton grinned and nodded, making Bill grin happily. "Perfect! Here, write down your number and I'll call you when I get to your hotel to pick you up." Bill pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and borrowed a pen from the middle aged cashier. After writing her number down, Ashton blushed and gave the paper back to Bill, a small grin on her lips. "Great, I'll see you then." Bill grinned and left happily. Ashton was blushing deeply, and actually felt a little dizzy by the end of it all. What had just happened? Did she really just agree to go on a date with Bill Kaulitz?! Oh my god…. She took a deep breath and leaned against the table. Wow…she was so excited, she couldn't stop grinning! Then she thought of something… Vanessa. This was their road trip. Was she really going to leave her at the hotel to go and have a good time with Bill? God knows she wanted to. And Vanessa was dating Kevin anyways. What should it matter? She would just have to talk to her and explain. There was no way she was going to let this opportunity pass that easily!
