She is my hoodie girl. ✔

CHAPTER-#9

Amelia's POV-

It's almost fifteen minutes of ride and I am sure that my hair would be a nest.

And it's dark also.

My adrenalin kicked in.

My fears arise. I clutched onto his jacket tighter.

Suddenly we entered a forest lane.

My instincts are telling me jump, but one part is telling me to stay and trust this person.

We entered deeply and suddenly the bike came to a halt.

I saw the most beautiful view.

There was a lake in front of us, a picnic blanket by the side of the tree.

I looked at Ashton. He was staring at me.

"Thank you this is awesome." I said and hugged him.

"I am glad that you liked it." He said. I ran towards the lake.

I sat beside the lake and dipped my hand in it.

"Come let's eat first." He said and pulled me up with him and I pout.

"Okay." I whined.

There was a blue berry jam toast and orange juice. And many other sandwiches.

I ate the first bite and the taste of blueberry burst on my taste buds earning a moan from me. I ate my sandwich in less than five minutes and leaned against the trunk of the tree and stared at the moon and the stars. The stars are sparkling.

"Cross your legs. Sit like Indian style." He said, I chuckled but eventually sat like that.

He placed his head on my lap and took my hands in his and pushed them in his hair in a stroking manner, I giggled because the way he was making me do, was kind of ticklish in my palm.

"You know Amelia. I had... I... I had... a crush on you from the first day." He stuttered and played with my open hairs.

"Really." I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah... wait do I sound like a teen girl?" He asked I laughed at his words.

"No ashton." I assured him.

"But you know... I wanted to approach but I couldn't find a way or a reason to start things. But in the mart you bumped into me, maybe you didn't know me, and I bet you thought that I didn't saw you." He said I blushed and nodded.

"But Amy I noticed everything about you. I knew that it was you." He added.

"I still can't believe." I said. He nodded and cupped my face while still laying down.

"You know you are very beautiful." He said and tucked the strands of my hair behind my ear.

I hummed in response.

"I really like you Amelia." He said.

"I like you too. Really." I said.

Little did you know that I love you?

His hands encircled my neck and he pulled me closer and pressed his lips onto mine. Tenderly pecking them.

Tingles appeared, Goosebumps appeared and shivers ran down.

We both pulled panting. He pressed his forehead against mine.

"I love you." He said.

"I know I may be rushed but this is what we feel, right, tingles, goose bumps, shivers and unusual feeling, isn't it?" he added.

I was taken aback by his sudden confession, but still happy.

"I know, you don't have to say that back, you rarely know, you know me less than three days. You don't have to say –." He said but I cut him in between by smashing my lips on his and pecked them.

"I love you too. And believe me when I said that. I said it with my full heart no cheats, no lies, no greed. Just love. I am not rushed, this is what I feel towards you, and I love you." I said.

In less than a second he hovered above me pressed his lips on mine.

Pecking them and kissed my cheeks.

"Mine. You are mine." He said.

"I am yours." I said and smiled.

*****

The rest of the night till mid past 10 we cuddled and then he dropped me to home and I was bombarded by dozens of questions by Maya. I told her about his confession. She did monkey dance.

Then we had a normal sleepover.

*****

The rest of the week was a blur. I and he went like many times near the café. And it's another day in the café, when I am blabbering about many things like how much I like cappuccino and the pancakes. When he is just sitting with his face in his palms staring at me with a smile.

"Idea." I nearly yelled, grabbing attention of all the eyes in the café.

He hummed in response. Still staring at me.

"Let's play 20 questions." I said cheerfully.

"yeah." He replied.

"Ashton are you even listening?" I asked with an eye roll. Still staring.

"Yeah babe. I am" he said. Still staring.

"Okay first I will ask and then your turn. Okay." I said. He nodded.

"Your favorite color?"

"Hazel with a tint of green." He replied smiling. I pinched his cheeks.

"You are cute." I cooed.

"Cute is not my word baby, badass or hot will work." He said with a wink. I rolled my eyes but eventually gave in.

"Your turn."

"Same goes to you." He asked.

"Jet black." I replied looking in his deep mesmerizing eyes.

"Says who!" he replied with an eye roll.

"Okay my turn. Do you play any instrument?" I asked.

"Sometimes, guitar." He replied with a shrug.

"You?" he added.

"I... um... sometimes play piano." I said heat crept up my face.

"Really that's great!" he said.

"Favorite food?" I asked.

"Nothing in particular but anything made with love and care seems delicious to me." He said with a heartwarming smile. I nodded.

"Your?" he asked.

"Same I love my mom's baked cookies. And anything made by her." I said with a shrug.

"Do you cook?" I asked.

"Nope. Babe you forgot I am rich daddy's boy. Maids are there." He said with a smirk.

"Do you miss your mom's made food?" I asked.

"Actually my mom don't know how to cook. Amazing. No!" he said while shaking his head.

"Well then you really don't know what homemade food is. Wait you said made by your loving ones then. It's not your mom then?" I asked my brows joining in confusion.

"My maid is like my second mom, I have been very attached to my house servants since childhood. Even my mom was there for me 24/7, I enjoyed there company." He said with a charming smile.

"Do you cook?" He asked.

"Yeah I actually like cooking it helps me divert my mind." I said he nodded.

"So which is your dream place?" I asked. Hoping he would have one unless he have visited all the places.

"I actually want to go London. Yeah, you must think I would have visited all places known in this world but babe. I have not." He said.

"You?" he asked.

"I want to go Paris." I said.

"Come babe. I am carving for one kissy. Give me." He said with a pout.

"sure." I replied while laughing and kissed his cheek and pecked his lips and made my way out of the café. Waving my hands.

"Bye boyfriend." I said while laughing.

"You are such a tease." He said while still sitting at the table gawking like a fish.

"Love you." I yelled and made my way towards my house.
