The next day, Ash doesn't go anywhere. Andy's absorbed in his writing and I don't want to disturb him. I decide to find out what's going on in that head of Ash's. I sit on the couch with him as he's going through stuff on phone. "What'cha doin?" I ask. He looks at me and smiles. "Nothing. Why? What are you up to?" he asks. "Nothing. Tryin' to stay out of Andy's way." He nods understandingly. "Lyrics?" I nod. His eyes become questioning. "Didn't you wear that yesterday?" he asked mentioning the pajamas. "Yeah, it was either these or the clothes I was wearing when I came here." He looks dissatisfied with my answer. "We need to get you more clothes, like, ASAP. Do you have clothes at your house?" I nod. "Are they Black Veil Brides stuff?" I think about it. "Nope. The only Black Veil Brides thing I have is the t-shirt I came here in." He looks dumbstruck. "Tell Andy you're leaving. We're going shopping. NOW." Wow... "O...Kay...?" I go upstairs and peek into Andy's room. "Andy?" He looks up. "Yeah?" I don't move from behind the door. "Ash wants to take me BVB clothes shopping. Can I go with him?" He smiles. "Of course, Love. You don't have to ask. I told you. You're not property. You're a human being. Just stay safe. And don't let Ash in the changing room with you," he says with a smile. "HEY! I WOULD NOT DO THAT!" Ash says from behind me. I laugh and walk in to the room. I give him a kiss, change, and Ash and I head out. We start walking around on the street and Ash says, "You wanna freak out some paparazzi?" Hmm? "How?" I ask. "Well, it d freak the hell out of everybody if it seemed like I had a steady girlfriend." I giggle. "Let me call Andy and ask if he's cool with it." He chuckles. I give Andy a call. "Hey, Love. What's up?" he answers sweetly. "Hey, Baby. Would you be cool with it if Ash and I freaked out some reporters?" He snickers. "Like how?" he asks. "Ash parades around with me acting like we're together. I have a diamond ring that my grandma gave me on my ring finger. It'll look like we're engaged. They'll think he got me pregnant or something." Andy cracks up. "Do it. I can see the headlines now. 'BVB bassist, Ashley Purdy, gets fan pregnant. Details on page 97.' Ha ha." I smile. "Cool. See you when we get back. Love you." I tell him. "I love you, too." We hang up and I hug Ashley around the waist. "For today, I'm your fianc ." He smiles. He puts his arm around my waist. He tilts my chin up and kisses me. "For today, I love you, babydoll." I smile at him." I love you, too, Ash." I look around as we walk. I see some of the bolder reporters that are just taking pictures at will. We smile as we shop. There are some fans, but they looked shocked and are very nice. Around lunch we now have a whole bunch of bags in the trunk of clothes that Ashley said looked cute on me. I thought they looked okay but Ash insists on buying them. I have a whole new wardrobe. I laugh at some of the stuff Ash is saying. We eventually get interviewed by a reporter. Excuse me, but aren t you Ashley Purdy? The bassist of Black Veil Brides? Ashley nods. The reporter notices the ring on my finger. Oh, you re Oh. Wow. Well, um, can I ask how you two met? We laugh. Actually, I stole her from Andy. But he was a good sport about it. He knows that it s better if the lady s happy with where she is, which she was happier with me, Ash explains. I m just cracking up. The waiter comes by and asks if we would like some of the coffee they are famous for. I tell him, Just water, thank you. The reporter catches the possible meaning of what I just said and goes wide-eyed. I suppress my laughter and Ash can hardly help it, but gives him his trademark, lady-killer smile. He asks a few more questions, says, Thanks for your time, and is on his way. We do a little more shopping, but then we head back. I go up to Andy and my room, Ash following closely with stuff we bought. Andy hears the door open and looks up at us. Wow. You two have been busy. We smile. Andy sets his notebook down and says, Mind if I look through it all? We set the stuff down and say, Knock yourself out. Andy grabs my hand and makes me sit on his lap while he sits on the floor. You are going through it with me, he says, I need to see if Ash was being a perv when he picked out the outfits. Ash looks a bit irritated, but has a smirk to his frown. He takes out his phone and starts texting as he leaves. Andy starts going through the bags and I get a text from Ashley. I smile at the message. cum get me wen Andy goes bck 2 riting. Well go b reeeaaallly pervy an find u sumthing 4 u an Andy 4 2nite. ;) Only Ash would do something like this. I send him a text back saying, lol, sure. we ll tell da guys we r goin 2 pik up sumthin 4 dinner. Andy gets curious. Who re you texting, babe? he asks. Just a friend. He asks me to try on the outfits for him and he says, Well, Ash did good. You look amazing in every last one. Of course it makes all the difference that you re amazing no matter what you re wearing. Or not wearing. He winks at me and I laugh. He sits back on the bed and I see him pick up the lyrics notebook again. I ll get out of your way, Andy, I tell him. You re never in the way, babe, he says with a smile. Aww. Well, me and Ash were talking about going shopping for food for the house and picking up something easy like pizza for dinner. Andy smiles. Wow, you read my stomach s mind. I laugh. Hey, I just suggested it. Ash has the money and car to go get it. Andy pulls me close for a kiss. It s the thought that counts. Not the action. Actions mean nothing without the concern of the thought behind them. I blush. We ll bring home pizza sooner if you let her come with me, Ash says leaning against the door frame with his trademark grin. Andy s stomach growls. Okay. Fine. I m hungry. Go get the food, please. Ash and I laugh and head out the door once I give Andy a kiss and tell him I love him. Where to first? I ask. Well, the lingerie store, because food is perishable. Clothes, not so much. I smile and we drive off. We get to the store and Ash picks out a lot of things that are a.) see through, b.) trimmed with/made of red and/or black lace, c.) completely incapable of covering pretty much ANYTHING, or d.) any number of combinations of the pre-mentioned descriptions; very often including the combination All of the above. Andy s gonna have a fit when he sees what we went to do. But he s gonna have a heart attack when he sees you in the stuff, Ash reasoned. True, true, I say, smiling broadly as we head into the grocery store. We pick up the necessities, milk, bread, eggs, and a bunch of frozen junk. We get the guys favorite candies and drinks. We get the pizza and the guy actually congratulates us on the engagement. On the way home, Ash and I are listening to the radio and singing along to I Remember You by Skid Row. After the song we re still in the car as we sit in the driveway. He turns off the car and looks at me. You know, I think today was the most fun I ve had on a day off in a while. And it s thanks to you, he says, and I can tell from the look in his eyes that he s serious. I smile. Today had to be one of the most fun days of my life, I confess. He smiles and leans close. Thank you. You made this an awesome day, he says. I smile back. Can I kiss you? he asks. Of course. Today, I m your fianc , I smile as I lean in and place my hand on his face. We kiss. Passionately. I smile as we pull back. When we open our eyes, we chuckle and blush. He looks downward and says, We should probably bring the food in to the savages. I laugh and nod. He takes the pizzas, I take the bags, and we head inside.
