I swung my arm with Ashton's as we walked downtown. He told me he wanted to take me to a small shop he had seen while driving past one day.

"Look, a jewelry shop," he pointed at the glass windowed building.

We walked in, the small bell dinging.

"Welcome to Impossibly Jewled, how can I help you?" a short and wide woman approached us sweetly. She had short deep purple hair in a fringe, and it somehow suited her face.

"I think we're just going to look around," Ashton smiled at the lady. She nodded and grinned, heading back behind the counter.

Ashton intertwines our fingers again, dragging me to the bracelets. "Look how cool these are."

We pointed at dozens of the chains, our pudgy fingers sliding the glass.

"Can we look at the necklaces?" I questioned.

I looked through the bar of hanging silver.

"I like this one," Ash held up a silver chain with a small infinity charm. He grabbed a second one. "Here, we can have matching necklaces," he clapped excitedly.

I giggled at his giddiness. "Why the infinity symbol?"

He looked up at me, his eyes sparkling. "Because I will love you forever and ever."

My heart melted out of my ass. "I will love you forever and ever too, Ash."

He quickly paid for the necklaces before walking back out of the small store. "Here, can you clip mine?"

I clipped the necklace together, my fingers grazing the hair on his neck and tracing his California Condor tattoo.

"Thanks, babe. Get yours?"

I nodded. He clicked the necklace before lightly massaging my neck and shoulders.

"I love you," I mumbled.

"I love you," he repeated.

"I'm so lonely!" Calum whined.

I chuckled. "C'mere, Cal."

He scooted over to me as I opened my arms. He leaned into me, and I wrapped my arms around him lovingly. "I'm sorry you're lonely."

He sniffed. "Can I get cuddles like this from you sometimes?"

"Are you that lonely?" I laughed.

"Yes!" he scoffed.

Ashton entered from the bathroom. "Hey, hands off my girl!"

"Technically, my hands are on him."

He furrowed his brows angrily. Ashton shoved Calum off 'playfully' and sat on my lap.

"Hey!" Calum exclaimed.

"She's mine," Ashton hissed at his best friend.

"Ow," I complained. "Ashton, your ass is too bony for my legs."

He sighed and slid off. "Wimp." I slapped his arm.

"Ow!"
