~~~Confused & Conflicted~~~

Ash's POV

I slowly fluttered my eyes open and yawned, the feeling of a great sleep, giving the energy to go through a new day. I sat up and stretched my body while staring at the ce-,

Wait, hold on.

I don't remember having a wooden ceiling,

.

.

.

This isn't my room.

The sudden thought of something made me peek under the covers. I sighed in relief, I still had my pants on. I sat up and observed the room.

A king bed,
Light brown wooden walls, and floor,
White curtains, a balcony and a tree trunk going through the room. Pictures and toys were spread around.

I know this place. This is...

this is the treehouse in the forest. That means,

I mentally groaned. Not this again.

I put the soft blanket aside at swung my feet to touch the wooden floor of the treehouse. Without any thought, my feet led me towards the balcony. The door was slightly open as I made my way to open it fully, once I did I was met with a sight so beautiful, I was afraid it would disappear as soon as I saw it.

The sight of the sun rising through the trees as the waterfall in between was flowing peacefully. The only sounds were the sounds of nature itself. Birds chirping, water flowing and wind howling in silence.

Not only that,

Oh no, there was more, or in this case someone.

There was a beautiful woman standing, leaning against the edge of the balcony leaning, her hair flowing in rhythm with the wind as so her shirt.

Wait, let me rephrase that is my shirt and she was only wearing that.(A/n, of course, she had her undergarments on. I'm not a pervert.-_-).A huge lump got stuck in my throat as I tried to gulp it down. I walked over to her, although I don't know why I'm walking to her. I had a feeling that my body was under control and the only thing I could do was watch. My senses were still the same as my body movements did all the talking.

When I finally reached the woman I stopped behind her only to wrap my arms around her waist and stuff my head in the crook of her neck, I could feel her tense for a second, but she relaxed, leaning into my chest as I continued inhaling the scent of her. She smels sweet, like strawberries.

"Good morning," My voice said as I could feel her shiver under my touch as my breath hit her exposed neck. Although my mind told me to stop and just snap out of it, my actions did everything as I could only helplessly watch what was going to happen. Which I already know.

"Good morning," Her angelic voice said as my grip tightened around her waist. I know exactly, who it was and again I could do nothing. We just stood there in silence, watching the sunrise with her in my arms. I felt good to be true and I already know it is.

"Ash?" She called out my name with such a softness and love, I felt my heart skip a beat. I hummed in response. "Isn't this beautiful?" She sighed in delight.

"I've seen something much more beautiful," I shrugged.

She shifted in my arms and faced me, her ocean blue eyes staring into mine. "Oh yeah, what?" "In this case, it's more an someone and that person being,"

I grinned as I leaned my forehead against hers, her pale cheeks getting a cute, rosy glow as my lips inched closer to hers. "You, Sere" I whispered softly as our lips inched closer and closer until finally,

.

"Ash"

.

"Ash," She whispered in quite a deep voice.

.

"Oi, Ashy-boy wake up!"

I groaned as I rubbed my eyes with the sides of my fist. "I'm up," I yawned as I sat up straight, stretching my back in progress. Sleeping in a limo is never comfortable, but, hé, I've to sleep somehow.

"We are almost at the concert," Gary announced. He looked through the car mirror. "What were you dreaming about? You seemed to enjoy it, you were drooling all over the place." He laughed.

I was what? As a reflex I whipped my mouth off, to see drool on my hand. I narrowed my eyes and whipped it off on my pants.

You know, I haven't been liking time by myself lately because every time I am by myself I get lost in thought. I haven't been liking where my thoughts have been heading either because it's moving towards the same place. No matter if I'm awake or asleep.

After we hung out with Sere my mind has been doing a lot of disturbing thoughts, which always end up in doing that lovely-dovely crap. I don't know why but every time I sleep she is in my dream, not that it doesn't happen but then I dream about when we were kids and play outside and that happens once in a while. But now it continued to happen since then, I know it's bad but every time I try to forget about it and push it back. But it always lingers somewhere in that messed up brain from me. See it like this,

Thinking about Sere, meh.

Dreaming about Sere, bad.

Dreaming about me and Sere only, worse.

Dreaming about almost kissing her, weird.

Wanting to kiss her, okay, that's just crazy.

Gary ended up getting the phone number of the waitress, mind-blowing. And the last one actually happened.

Okay, I missed her, but that doesn't mean I've to dream about her. I don't even like her, she is my best friend. So I shouldn't susppose to be dreaming about her like that, that is just, creepy to say at least.

I really I have to-- no- I must put an end to this, it is wrong and - no, it is just wrong okay. Thinking about a girl while you're with someone else is just wrong. Hell, even dreaming about that is inappropriate. So I just have to distract myself and what is better than performing on stage, just doing my thing.

"Hé, you awake," Gary called out, stopping me from my inner conversation. "You didn't answer, what were you dreaming about? "

I huffed, he didn't need to know what I was dreaming about, he will not shut up when I tell him. Also," It is none of your business. Just keep your eyes on the road." I said a little too harsh. "And since when are you interested in knowing what I dream about?"

"Calm down, I was just curious what is happening in that head of yours, " He defended.

I sighed."Sorry," I apologized while running my fingers through my hair."I'm just a little grumpy of the lack of sleep."

"I know," He said not bothered by the fact I treated him. I smiled a little. I was glad, I could rely on Gary he has been a friend since we were kids, although we fight a lot. He wasn't one of those guys that would go on and on about how to get me start talking, oké he is, but even he can be serious when needed. Also, he is the only one I fully know wouldn't go after me for fame or money or something. He is a real friend, he is like a brother to me.

"We are here," He said as he parked the car behind an enormous building, before going through the securities. He unclasped the safety-belt and put a hand on the handle as I did the same only to be stopped by him saying. 

"I don't know what you're dreaming about," Gary said casually as he stepped out the limo. "But," Gary smirked as he stook his head in. "stop smiling like an idiot when you dream about her, you pervert."

My eyes widened as they narrowed quickly after."Why you little," He pushed the door shut before I could finish. I groaned as I again ran my fingers through my hair. "Dammit," I breathed out.

Serena's POV 

"You like him?!" White yelled shocked.

The girls were out of the city to visit White's aunt, leaving me and Lady alone. When they came back they were asking me what interesting happened while being with the guys. So I thought maybe they could help me with the thoughts I had lately, so I told them.

"I told you so," Dawn grinned. " Funny thing about love." Dawn told us. "Some times, two people who belong together need a nudge to get them where they need to be. Some times, they need a push. Some need a shove " Dawn stood up.

"Now," she pointed at me."get together, marry and have children. I can already see it in front of me. So cute," She sighed delightedly with the thought of me and Ash being something. No way, I looked at Dawn who still is spacing out. Yep, Dawn is in her world again.

"Unbelievable," I exclaimed, shaking my head. " I told you everything that happened and this is your conclusion?"

White nodded as Dawn was still in her imaginary world.

"My OTP," Dawn sighed dreamily. What?

I leaned closer to White."OTP? What's that? Is she dreaming about food?" I whispered.

"No, that's silly," She giggled in response. "It's not something to eat, OTP stands for One True Pairing, it's when you ship two people together and think they are perfect for each other."

"Just how I see you and Ash," Dawn winked. I groaned.

"Just great, just what I needed," I mumbled. "I think it is just a minuscule attraction being caused by the closeness of the opposite gender, which I haven't have much to nothing experience with," I concluded.

White and Dawn sweatdropped. "You really thought this through, didn't you?"

I nodded. "This conclusion is way better for everyone and it also clears the confusion."

"Confusion about what?" White asked.

"You know the whole blush, weird feeling thing." I stood up. " Thanks for the help."

"But you didn't even listen to us," Dawn said. " How did we even help you? "

"You chose the wrong and I the right ones," I said. Wrong interpretation, Serena.

" You mean-" Dawn said raising an eyebrow.

"Gah!" I exclaimed, looking at the wall. "Look at the time it is almost midnight," I rushed out of their room and shut the door not before wishing them a good night.

I've got a nagging feeling that it won't end here.
