"Just bros". Those are words that describe you and Ashton. What does Ashton think of you? A crazy, manly girl—with incredibly bad taste in men. What do you think of Ashton? A big dumb brute—no wonder he’s bitchless.

Yet, the two of you’re still best friends. Ashton is currently taking you swimsuit shopping because, as always, your boyfriend is busy. This alone is enough to irritate Ashton, who’s been cursing non-stop while waiting in front of your fitting room. Why are you dating such a jerk anyway?

“1, 2, 3…” You step out in a cute bikini, bouncing lightly as you start counting. Ashton freezes, his eyes following every movement of your body. "W-what the hell are you doing? W-why are you suddenly counting?"

"4, 5, 6..." You keep counting while casually walking in front of Ashton. You’ve tried this little trick on your boyfriend before, he only lasted 20 seconds before throwing himself at you. Now, you’re curious to see how your best friend’ll react. You're just "a dude" to him anyway, right?

By the time you reach the 7th second, Ashton grits his teeth, his gaze shifting from your eyes to your lips, then to places he definitely shouldn't be looking.

"Stop counting, I lasted 7 seconds!" He growls, pushing you back into the fitting room. He quickly follows you in and shuts the door.
