Devils Daughters

"Well this is nice," I said as Ashley pulled into a spot. I still wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a date or not.

We walked into the Chili's and were seated at a booth.

We ordered our drinks and some desert since we had already eaten dinner. I got some cheesecake and he decided he was content to just steal bites from it.

We sat in silence for a moment as we waited for our food and drinks to come out.

"What's on your mind?" he asked, pulling my attention back to the present. I hadn't even realized that while he was looking at his phone, I had zoned out while studying his perfectly angled jawline, his soft lips, his high cheek bones and his soft eyes hidden behind long eyelashes. This man was perfection. There is no way in hell he meant what he said earlier. "Jesse?" He asked again, this time waiving his hand in my face.

"Honestly?" I asked.

"I prefer," he smirked.

I sighed. "You are....just...you..." I fumbled with my words as I debated saying what I thought.

"Yes?" he smiled, attempting to encourage my thoughts.

"You are perfect. You're sexy, handsome, fun...I'm the exact opposite. I'm just worried that after they figure our what's going on, you're going to go on tour and forget I exist. I'm worried that you only said you wanted to keep talking because you think it's what I want to hear, but honestly...if you don't plan on continuing this then I'm okay with that. Just tell me now instead of getting my hopes up," I said as clearly as I could.

He just stared at me with a shocked expression on his face.

"I'm far from perfect. Well, maybe not far from it," he joked in an attempt to lighten the mood, "but I'm definitely not perfect. And you are beautiful and smart. And hilarious when you're drunk. I mean...who showers with their clothes on?" He teased. "I was serious. Here," he said as he stood up and moved to my side of the booth, "I'll prove it."

He took out his phone and scooted in, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "Say hi to everyone!" he smiled as I watched him hit the record button. I waived shyly at the camera and said hello. He then uploaded the video to Instagram and tagged me in it, attaching the caption 'MAKING THE MOST OF THE UNEXPECTED TIME OFF. WILL ANNOUNCE SOON WHEN WE WILL BE MAKING UP TOUR DATES. IN THE MEAN TIME, ENOYING SOME RELAXING DOWN TIME WITH THIS WOMAN BY MY SIDE.' then he added a few random hash tags and emojis. I swear he has a weird addiction to hash tags and emojis. He puts them on everything.

Within seconds both of our Instagrams were blowing up. His twitter started blowing up as well.

"Should you have done that?" I asked as I looked through the comments.

"I'm fine. You won't want to look through those though," he said in reference to the comments.

"Why? This is hilarious!! In less than five minutes I see dozens of people sticking up for me and dozens more accusing me of having fake boobs, fake tan, fake...wait...you can have fake cheeks? What?!" I asked. He just laughed.

"You have thicker skin than I thought. Getting shot at in a coffee shop didn't bother you, explosions at the venue barely shook you, and relentless verbal assault from an army of girls wanting in my pants doesn't bother you. What does shake you?" he asked.

"Spiders," I said bluntly as our cheesecake finally showed up.

"Sorry about the wait guys," the waitress apologized as she refilled my drink.

"No problem," Ash smiled at her and she walked off. "So just spiders?" he asked as he turned back to me.

"I don't like emotions. Does that count? Oh and also butterflies," I took a bite of the cheesecake.

"You're scared of butterflies???" He asked a little shocked.

"Nope. Just don't like the fuckers," I said bluntly. Just then I felt my phone go off.

I looked down and read the message. "We have to go," I said as I flagged down our waitress.

"Why? What's wrong?" he asked.

"Our coffee shop friends visited the house. Ali said they are being moved to a safe house. We are to follow the security guards to meet them at the safe house," I explained as I got impatient.

Ashley took some money out of his wallet and threw it on the table. "Come on," he said as he stood up.

"That works," I sighed. We headed out to the car and jumped in. I don't know how or why, but I just realized this fucker was driving my car. No one drives my car. How the fuck did he get my keys? Whatever.

"Well that's a bad sign," he said as we followed the security guards, who had just pulled out of their spot.

"What is?" I asked confused.

"Our first date was cut short by someone shooting up your house. That can't be good," he said.

So it was a date.

"Well...we could always say that wasn't a date? Call it a practice run. Our real first date can be some other time," I offered.

"I like the way you think!" he smiled.

Suddenly the danger of the situation hit me. Someone else shot up that coffee shop. Someone else was crazy enough to actually use deadly force to get to these boys. Someone else was crazier than me and Ali. And someone else was hunting these boys.

For some reason, this boost of adrenaline turned. Me. On.

"Please dear god tell me we are going somewhere we will have separate rooms?" I asked as I leaned in to Ashley a little.

He looked at his phone. "Hotel. We get one suite with those separate rooms or whatever. Why?" He asked, but I just started to slowly snake a hand up his thigh, kissing his shoulder softly before making my way to his neck.

I felt him getting a little hard as I continued to tease him through his pants, but I stopped suddenly.

"You're driving my car," I said when he looked at me in frustration.

A few moments later we pulled up to the hotel and parked. It was not a bad one at all.

"Oh the rest of the guys are staying at this one!" Ashley said as he looked up, recognizing the hotel.

We went inside and headed to the room that was texted to Ashley. When we got up there everyone was in the main part of the room.

"Hey!" I said quickly, waiving and then throwing my hair up in a messy ponytail.

Okay...so Ashley and I made out a little on the elevator. Sue me.

"Hi. You must be Jesse. I'm Jake," he said as he extended his hand.

"Yup," was my simple reply. I shook his hand and then introduced myself to CC and Jinxx.

"So we have this suite. Your room is on that side, and ours is on this side. Neither room has a door to the hallway. The only way in or out is through here, which is where at least one of the guards will be," Andy explained.

"Where are you guys staying?" I asked, concerned.

"We are actually in the suite across the hall. Same basic arrangement, except Jake and I are sharing," Jinxx explained.

"Oh. Cool. Well, I'm gonna go lay down," I said as I headed to the room, winking at Ashley.

"Same," he said as he faked a yawn and then laughed.

"Rabbits!" I heard Ali yell at us as Ashley closed the door.

I just laughed as I saw she managed to grab my speaker dock for my phone. She had texted me and told me she was grabbing stuff for me and whatever we needed we could get later, so we just headed straight here from the restaurant.

I plugged my phone in and turned on a random playlist. The music started up just as Ashley grabbed me and threw me on the bed, wasting no time.

Notes

So I know you guys hate me and I'm sorry it's been so long since I updated.

I'm really sorry. You have no idea. I've just been busy with other things. I've been helping a friend with their newborn because she had surgery on top of having the baby and I'm also working on fifty other projects and it's just been insane.

I go home tomorrow, though, so I will be back to updating regularly! I love you all and I am so sorry!!

Please rate/comment if you like the story. Feel free to comment and tell me how mad you are at me. I deserve it.

Thank you for your patience!!
