"I like the summer rain
I like the sounds you make
We put the world away
We get so Disconnected"

"Okay? Well who is it then?"
"Its me" Ashton stood up from the sofa looking directly at me, his light hazel eyes making my knees feel weak and heart pumping faster. This has to be a dream.
"Ha! Next joke. someone pinch me, so i can wake up now?" looking around at the 5 pairs of eyes that were trained on me after my response. I noticed Chloe left the room,
probably to clean up that mess she made before it permanently stained mother's carpet.
"uhm. No this is not a joke Melanie, nor a dream. You will be marrying Ashton" My mum spoke after an awkward silence formed.
See its not like I mind marrying Ashton. Like this is probably every 5sos girl's dream, to marry her favourite. But the fact that it's happening to me. Like Me
The awkward shy girl, who isnt skinny, who is awkward infront of people she doesn't know, who needs make up to feel comfortable when with others, who doesn't like wearing loads of reveling clothes as she doesn't have the body to pull it off with.
In other words. Me
Yet here i am. Getting told that I will be marring Ashton Irwin and I am a-okay with that. But is Ashton? since he knows what i look like... Will he want to go through with it all? Will I want to go through with it all? I know more about him than he does with me.
Oh god, I'm scared now.
"I will take that facial expression as a yes, now would you boys like to go into the games room? There is fifa or black ops? Not sure what you like to do for the time being as you wait for lunch to be served" mother stood up with her empty tea cup. Pointing to the games room down the hall
"Thanks Mrs Mae"
"Can we have your wifi password please?" Luke and Michael spoke at the same time
"Michael you can't ask that," Calum hit him on the arm while Michael just shrugged it off
"Haha yes, I know about all this wifi things these days. Everyone needs it these days. What happened to a good ol' book...anyway the wifi box is in the games room. The password should be on that" Mum answered describing where it was
They gave her a thumbs up and said thanks, walking out of the living room and down the hall, while my mum went the opposite way to the kitchen to start lunch
Looking away from the recent scene, i noticed Ashton was still seated on the sofa staring intently at me and my every move. I stood still with my right hand grabbing onto my left arm rubbing it awkwardly not knowing what to do next.
"Told you I would see you again. I always keep my promises" Ashton voice startled me as I made eye contact with the Australian boy
"Yes, looks like you did..." I trailed off not knowing what else to say
Suddenly Chloe came back into the room with some wipes and her phone playing the radio as she hummed along. Not noticing that there were still people in the room
"...shake it off, shake it - off..? Well this is awkward" Chloe was knelt on the floor trying to scrub away the forming stain, but stopped when she saw me and Ashton looking at her

"So.....urm what do we do now?" Ashton spoke clearing the silence between us, while he shoved his hands in the pockets of his black skinny jeans, standing up
"Well we could go....actually let's do....no I think it would be better if...... I have no idea..." I sighed, at my fail of trying to think of something to do instead of having this awkward stare off.
"well I've done my job, I'm just gonna go.... And help Stacy in the kitchen" Chloe trailed off pointing out the door way before rushing off
Dammit. We are alone yet again, and Ashton is staring off at something behind me?

Ashton's POV
This is so awkward, the look on Melanies face shows she doesn't know what to do now. And neither do I, I've never been in this situation before. Normally I can go and talk about anything with anyone, but for some reason I can't do that with her. It's like I need to impress her, but i don't understand why. The only difference is that I will be marring Melanie and not stay as friends... Wish I brought my drums here so I could just bang all my worries and stress and literally everything out onto them.
Mrs Mae gave me an idea earlier before Melanie arrived about taking her out to dinner somewhere so we can get to know each other more, but i don't want it to be to romantic and sappy because everyone does that. I want it to be different. But where and what? Hrmm....Restaurant, no to normal. Beach? Nope many people do that instead of a restaurant. This is harder than I thought...wait
I think I got it! This will be perfect now all I got to do is ask an set it all up
"Ashton? You okay?" A hand got waved in my face which brought me back to reality, woah Melanie looks more prettier close up
"Wha-what oh, yeah I'm fine but I need to go.....and... Talk to Mrs Mae, your mum.. Yeah" I said to her before leaving the living room.
I need to get permission to do my date idea for Melanie and me, only because Stacy- her mum, said to have a romantic date but by the look of her and me i don't think she would be into the whole cinema then restaurant or beach type ones.
"Mrs Mae!" I shouted around the hallway going into all the rooms on the ground floor until I walked past the kitchen and saw her making lunch with Chloe. Its now or never, hopefully she likes my plan and Chloe can keep a secret
"Ashton how many times do I have to say it, call me Stacy. We are practically family now" Mrs M- I mean Stacy said as she finished buttering the sandwiches and Chloe started to fill them with different fillings; ham, cheese, different salads...the lot
"Ok sorry, but I have an idea about the date but I need your approval because it's not full on the whole romantic deal you wanted.." I sat down on the chair by the island as she was on the other side leaning on the table with a tea-towel on her shoulder
"Ok shoot"
I told Stacy my plan and I new she liked it because when I finished talking she had a smile on her face, I also know where Melanie gets her beautiful smile from - her mother
"Ashton that's lovely, I know she will like it too and Chloe - " she said turing to the girl with the brown hair
"yeah?"
"- don't tell Mel any of this. Okay it's a secret" Chloe nodded in response, cutting the last sandwichs in half
"Whats a secret?" I spun my head round to the voice which happened to be Melanie herself, I was hoping she didn't hear what I said otherwise it would all be ruined
"N-nothing, nothing" I said quickly, giving her a smile and leaving up to the office to use the computer to get everything ready for our date after Stacy suggested I use it. Oh and I will ask her later once its all sorted can't forget about that part, or there wouldn't be any point in planning this

Melanie's POV
After Ashton ran out I was obviously going to see where he was going because I wanted to know if I did anything wrong to annoy him or something, plus I am nosy and wanted to see what he was up too considering I'm alone now.
I could hear voices in the kitchen so I went to investigate it, as I got closer I heard mum say 'its a secret'. And being the nosy self i am i wanted to know what this secret was
"what's a secret?" I said as I stepped through the kitchen door/archway, I saw mum making lunch with Chloe and Ashton sitting by the island suddenly looking at me with shock in his eyes
"N-nothing, nothing" Ashton quickly said before smiling at me and walking out in might I add a fast pace.
"Melanie? Can you call the others, me and Chloe have done the lunch now. Oh and it doesn't matter about Ashton, I'll take a sandwich up for him after" mum said while setting up the table
"Yes course" I walked out into the hallway and down to the games room where three out of four Australian boys were
"um.... Michael, luke and Calum? Lunch is ready if you want some" i said once they finished screaming at the TV
"thanks best friend, cmon guys lets get some grub" Michael paused the fifa and they all stood up walking past me and into the kitchen
" mum, where is dad?" I said as everyone was starting to sit down at the dinning table.
"He is at work but also knows about all this" she gestured to the boys who was sitting around us listening to the only conversation happening. So dad knows about the arranged marriage, right okay
"okay" with that said we dug into lunch, the only sounds heard in the kitchen was little conversations between us all and the munching of food. Half way through mum got up with a plate of sandwichs and a packet of crisps before they were all gone. Probably taking it to Ashton upstairs
