56 with Best Friend!Ashton please 😩
You and Ash were on your way to your daily coffee date. It's not like a date-date even though you kinda wished it could be, but he's just your best friend. The two of you made it to the cute coffee shop and Ashton jogs forward, holding the door open for you. You thanked him quietly and stepped into the shop, making your way towards the booth you two normally sit in.
"You want your usual?" He asked and you nod you head, moving your hands to grab your wallet. "No, no, no. It's one me."
"You sure? You've paid the last two weeks, Ash," you frown and he steps over towards the table, bending down slightly.
"I'm sure, cutie. It's my treat," he mentioned with a smile and you sighed, leaning back against the seat.
"Fine, fine. But I'm paying next week, mister," you chuckled and he mhm'd before heading back towards the short line.
Ashton got to the front of the line and ordered his iced coffee and your hot chocolate. He gave the barista a small smile as she gave him his change before he moved to the side. It didn't take too long to get the drinks and his eyes moved towards the front door after hearing the small bell go off, indicating someone came in.
His eyes went wide as his clingy ex-girlfriend, Diana, walked in and he panicked slightly. Ashton grabbed the drinks and he accidentally made eye contact with her on his way towards you.
You sat towards the wall in the booth, scrolling through instagram as you liked Ash's recent photo he put up when the man himself shoved his way next to you. You picked your head up as he almost spilled your drinks about to ask him what was wrong when he cut you off before you spoke.
"Hey, baby," he greeted before dipping his head down to press his lips to yours. Your eyes were wide and Ashton pulled away before you could get the chance to kiss him back.
"I-Wha-," you started and you could see the desperation in his eyes. You were a bit confused until you looked over his shoulder to see Diana walking towards the two of you. You moved your eyes back to him and nodded your head a bit, letting him know that you'd play along and he let out a sigh of relief before resting his face in the nape of your neck.
"Ashton, hey!" His ex greets and Ashton pulled away from you to look up at her. He gave her a tight-lipped smile as you grabbed your hot chocolate, taking a small sip. "I'm, who's this?"
He glanced towards you and you give him a smile, grabbing his hand before interlocking your fingers together. "I'm his girlfriend," you told her and she looks a bit shocked.
"Oh, uh, nice. Anyway, it's nice seeing you," she muttered awkwardly before practically running out of the shop.
The two of you sit in silence for a few moments and Ashton glanced down at your hands that were still laced together. "Thank you for doing this. I'm sorry, but I just-"
"Hey, it's okay. I'm happy to help, Ash," you tell him with a smile while stroking the back of his hand with your thumb.
His hazel eyes met yours and he brings his free hand up to your face, stroking your cheekbone. "I've always wanted to do that," Ashton whispered so quietly that you almost didn't hear him. Almost.
Your heart pounds against your chest as your breath hitches in your throat. "Really?" You asked in a whisper as well and he nodded his head. A smile came to your lips as you reconnected your lips in a short kiss.
"Do you want to go to dinner with me tonight?" Ashton asked after you pulled away and you giggled, nodding your head.
