"Hypothetically speaking, if I kidnap you and keep you from catching your plane, just for the sole reason of me not wanting you to leave, would you get in trouble?" Ashton asked as the couple stood outside the terminal.

Iris chuckled, "by in trouble do you mean fired?" Ashton nodded. "It would definitely be frowned upon. Kelsie wouldn't be happy and you going to jail for my disappearance would definitely put some damage on your albums sales."

"Oh, speaking of the album," Ashton started, "we only have a few songs left to finish before we get ready to announce it."

Iris jumped excitedly. "That's awesome! Oh, I'm so happy for you."

"I thought you said you weren't a fan of our music?" Ashton asked.

"I think being your girlfriend gives me a good enough reason to actually listen to your band," Iris said. "And if the rest of your album is going to be as good as Teeth, then I'm very excited."

Ashton smiled down at Iris. "I'm gonna miss you. Promise you won't help out any strangers on the side of the road and give them your number?"

"Yikes," Iris sighed, "that's going to be really difficult but I'll try extra hard to remember just for you."

"I appreciate that." Ashton grinned, glancing around. "I'll pick you when you get back. And if you like, I will maybe even make you dinner."

Iris raised an eyebrow. "A musician and a cook, huh? I may actually have to let you kidnap me now."

Ashton nudged her off him. "Come on, as much as I hate it, you have to board soon and I have to go learn how to cook by the time you get back."

"Okay, okay," Iris laughed. "See you Friday." She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek before picking up her suitcase. Ashton pulled her back to him before she got anywhere far and gave her a full kiss on the lips.
