Who Ever Knew?

-Andy's POV-

Thankfully, Carly and her friends had decided to go to the mall. Ashley was coming over soon, so I had to look as hot as possible. It was summer, so I wore tight, ripped jeans and a black, short sleeved shirt with a skull on it. I was just adding the final touches to my hair when the doorbell rang.
"COMING!" I yelled as I raced down the stairs. What I saw when I opened the door took my breath away. Ashley. Blue bell bottom jeans. A short sleeved, white and blue checkered shirt. Raven hair neater than it was last night. For a moment, I literally could not breathe he was so perfect. Then...
"Hi." Again, sexy voice dragged me back to reality, which wasn't so bad with him here.
"Hi. So, uh, you ready to go?" He nodded, and I locked the door. How many times had I said 'umm' or 'uh' since meeting him? I never usually did that. Shoot, I hope Carly didn't notice it if she ever saw me talking to him.
"So, Ash, when did you move here?" I asked WITHOUT umms or uhs. Making progress already.

-Ashley's POV-

I told him I had moved here a couple weeks ago, and we kept up small talk like that, learning things about each other, until we reached the town. I have to admit, I felt slightly guilty about telling him to call me Ash. No one called me that, but it was a nickname that I liked when he applied it to me. We had just bought frozen yogurt and were walking out of the froyo place when he grabbed my arm, pulled me back in, and warned me to duck underneath a table. I didn't know what the hell was going on, but I did as I was told. A few seconds later, he let me stand again.
"Sorry about that. I thought that my sister and her friends were going to the mall, but I just saw them outside."
"Oh, yeah, thanks for that, then," I responded, grateful that he had hidden me.
"You're welcome. Oh shit, they're coming in here," he said as he grabbed my hand and spun me around so that our backs were to the chatting girls. I couldn't help but savor the moments that his hand was in mine. Wait a minute, I realized. He hadn't let go yet, even when he could have. My eyes flickered down to our wrists, and sure enough, our fingers were intertwined. Well, I definitely wasn't going to be the one to pull away. Silently and unseen, we slipped out of the store, still hand in hand. "Let's go to your house, they won't know we're there," Andy suggested, and we ran there. When we arrived, we were gasping for breath through laughter. I unlocked the door and we collapsed on the couch, where we ate our somehow not yet melted frozen yogurt. I swear, everything about Andy was perfect. He was by far the most attractive guy I had ever seen, he was kind, funny, and energetic as well. Perfection itself, and god, I wished so badly I could call him mine. My boyfriend. Then I remembered something.
"Hey, Andy, why didn't you give the girls the receipt with my number and name?"

-Andy's POV-

Shit. Shit shit shit. How did he know about that? Was Ashley straight? I couldn't think clearly over the sound of the fluttering of the butterflies in my stomach.
"I didn't think you wanted them to have it. How did you know I didn't give it to them?"
"Carly asked me what my name was, and it's fine that you kept it. I just want to know why." Truth time. I had a crush on him. A big one that grew whenever I was with him. I opened my mouth to force out the words, when all of a sudden, his mom came home.
"ASHLEY!" She called.
"In the living room, mom," Ashley responded, and she walked in as I stood up.
"Hello, Mrs. Purdy, my name is Andy, I'm a friend of Ashley. He told me that you moved in a couple weeks ago, so I was just showing him around the town and stuff," I introduced myself. Thank you so much for your perfect timing, I added internally.
"Oh, well, that's very nice, and it's great to know that Ashley already has a new friend. I'm afraid that we have to go out and run a few errands, though."
"It's fine. Bye Ashley!" I said to him as I left.
"Bye Andy!" Whew, that was a close one. I really hoped we wouldn't have to continue that conversation next time we met up. I really, really, really liked that boy.
