"You kissed her back."

"No," Ashley shakes her head at me. I can tell she's lying because she's closing her eyes. She always closed her eyes when she shakes her head when she lies. We're back in the bus, in the room. I'm standing in the corner in the room with my arms crossed while Ashley sits on the corner of the bed trying to reason with me.

I, for one, am beyond pissed.

I was too shocked to really do anything once I saw Ashley kissing that blonde. Craig put his hand on my shoulder, but that didn't help me very much. It didn't really snap some sense into me that I should have went up and slapped Ashley or something dramatic like that. But before I knew what to do, I saw Aiden pulling the blonde off and dragging Ashley back onto the bus.

Craig paid for all the shit I wanted because I was already gliding back on the bus once I saw where Ashley was headed.

"Spence, I just wanted to rock her world," Ashley shrugged, smiling at me. I just made a face at that. She isn't even taking this seriously!

"So you're going to rock her world in the cost or ruining mine?"

"Oh come on Spencer, don't be like that," She stood up and took a step toward me, only for me to take a few steps back. She sighed, "I'm sorry, okay? It didn't mean anything. It was just a stupid kiss."

I rolled my eyes at that. "A stupid kiss, Ashley?"

She nodded, looking down at me and giving me the eyes she knows I love. I looked away immediately. I know myself well enough to know that I can't handle those eyes. I rolled my eyes and started walking around the room, not exactly knowing what to do. The idea of going out and kissing one of the boy and labeling it as a 'stupid kiss' crosses my mind, but of course, I don't go through with it. I think about slapping her, but that would just make me be the one to apologize so I don't do that either.

"I can't believe you did that Ashley," I roll my eyes at her and sit on the bed, leaning against the headboard. She frowned, looking down at the floor. "Seriously. How many other girls have you kissed while we were together?"

"None!" She made a face, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "I haven't kissed a girl other than you for 3 years until today."

"Oh so you're only going to start today?" I rolled my eyes.

"No!" She went up to me, sitting on the bed in front of me. "I'm sorry, okay? I know I'm an asshole for it, but I'm sorry."

I shook my head, "No, I'm mad at you."

"I'll make you dinner."

"No."

"I'll take you on a date," She smiled at me. That caught my attention. We haven't been on a date for while.

But I'm mad.

"No."

"We'll watch whatever, and however many movies you want for an entire month, baby. I'll read you to sleep everything single night and you'll wake up to breakfast in bed every single morning, I promise."

I sighed, still making my mad face at her. She's making it really mad to stay mad at her.

"Fine," I huffed, making her smile. I make another mad face at her, "But you have to do those things for two months. And you have to go with me to the Humane Society to look at all the cute animals. And we need to go to the pet store once we get back to L.A to get me that rabbit you promised me when I was in the hospital."

She smiled extra big at that, even though I don't know why. She leaned in to kiss me, but I put a hand between our mouths to block her, "No, you have to brush your teeth first."

She just sighed happily and jumped off the bed to go to the bathroom. I rolled my eyes.

I hate my girlfriend sometimes.

"So I've been thinking about your family," Ashley announced when we were waiting in the lobby of the hotel we would be staying at. I looked up at her. She looked down at me, "Have you been?"

"Not exactly," I shrugged. "Why?"

"Well our next stop is in Ohio," She looked down and kicked the rocks nervously. I could feel a smile forming my lips already. "And I was just thinking, that... if you wanted... we could maybe spend some time with them? I mean, only if you wanted to."

My smile was full blown as I grabbed her face to kiss her. She smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around my waist. I pulled away from her, still smiling. She smiled down at me.

"So you really think you're ready to meet and maybe even hang out with my entire family?" I smirked.

She chuckled, still looking down at me. "Yes, I think I am. But they should know, right? I am pretty permanent, right?"

I kissed her nose, "You are very permanent."

"Well isn't it the two sweetest love birds."

I pulled away from Ashley to see the one and only person that I was actually worried about walking toward us. The dreadful ex.

The one and only Haley Rider.
