Broken

• Chapter 149 •

Ashton's in a state of shock. He's rigid and unmoving. I snort and shove him, "Um... Ashton?"

He shakes his head. "Am I alive..?" he whispers.

"Pretty sure," I shrug.

"Pinch me."

I punch him instead and he frowns at me. I smirk and turn back to the boys. "Hey guys, glad you could make it. Ashton's probably your biggest fan," I tell them, "But um... He seems to be in shock at the moment..."

The guys laugh. "Anything for you, love," Vic shoots me a dazzling smile. "It's no problem, we get that all the time," Axel shrugs. "Can we have a drink for the boy?" Ryder calls out.

"Right away, sir," the waiter rushes off.

"Is this actually happening right now?" Ashton blinks.

Vic nods thoughtfully, "Yeah, you can start fangirling."

"We won't judge," Axel shrugs.

"Remember that guy in Vegas?" Ryder snorts. Vic narrows his eyes at Axel and Ryder as they begin laughing. "Ah yeah, that Michel kid? How could we possibly forget? Followed Vic around all night like a puppy-dog. Tried to hump him at one point. It was all very romantic."

Axel turns back to Vic, "It's too bad you don't like penises, Vic. You would've made a very cute couple."

Vic rolls his eyes at them, "Bugger off the lot of you."

"Holy shit."

I snap my attention back to Ashton, who seems like he's finally back.

"What the fuck are you guys doing here?" he's officially starstruck. How adorable. I have to embarrass him.

"Well your lovely girlfriend insisted we come meet our biggest fan," Vic shrugs. "And since her father's our boss and we would be sacked if we said no, we had to come," Ryder adds.

"Besides, we love Clementine," Axel adds with a goofy grin, "How have you been, love?"

"When was the last time we saw you?" Ryder frowns. "It was Thanksgiving, we went to their house for dinner you twit," Vic cuts in.

"Don't call me a twit, you muppet," he frowns.

"Boys, please. We're here for Clementine and her boyfriend," Axel rolls his eyes at them.

"What the fuck," Ashton breathes, "They know you? You know them..?"

I nod in amusement, "I've known them for years. They used to come keep me company whenever they were in New York, and they spend almost every vacation with us," I explain, "They're like family."

"Why am I only hearing about how you're close to The Dark Knights now?" he hisses.

I snort, "Because your obsession with them is adorable, and I wanted to see the look on your face when you did meet them."

"And? What do you think?" Axel flexes his dark, toned arm and winks.

"Are we as handsome in real life?" Vic bats his long eyelashes encompassing his dark blue eyes.

"That's a no-brainer, we're gorgeous," Ryder shrugs, gesturing to his olive skin, dark brown hair and sexy smoldering chocolate eyes.

I pinch the bridge of my nose, "Okay, put your guns away before you hurt yourselves."

"I DID NOT."

I snort as we walk out of the restaurant and Ashton continues to throw his tantrum. I accidentally let it slip that Ashton dressed up as a giant slice of pizza for Halloween when he was younger to the boys, and now he's embarrassed. And wants to murder me.
