Addie

We were at the theme park here at Animal Kingdom and Ashton was holding my hand which was sweating, not sure if it's because he's nervous or it's just really hot outside. Lexi was on his shoulders pointing at all the animals she saw and the rides she wanted to go on, until she saw the gift shop cart.

"Daddy!" She squealed pointing to the cart. "Can we go there please." She begged, he looked down at me and I nodded so we began walking towards the cart.

"And what may I get for you today?" The man at the cart asked, Lexi seemed to be eying a stuffed penguin and the man grabbed it and handed it to her.

"Do you like that one baby?" I asked her and she nodded hugging the stuffed penguin close to her.

"That'll be twenty-five dollars." The man said, I started to grab my wallet when Ashton handed him a twenty and a five before I could even pay for it. He smirked down at me and kissed the side of my head before we waved the nice man a goodbye and began walking around again.

"Look, it's Flynn!" She yelled pointing to the man that looked like Flynn Ryder. We rushed over there and Lexi got out her book and stood in line waiting to get it signed, that's when Rapunzel came out and Lexi got the biggest smile on her face.

Once she got up there she gave Flynn and Rapunzel a big hug and Ashton took more pictures than needed but he just wants to save memories but he deletes the ones he doesn't want later. She grabbed my hand and smiled up at me holding her book and stuffed penguin close to her almost dropping them. I took the penguin and put it in my bag so it didn't get dirty.

We were going to grab something to eat since it was one now and we were all starving. Some girls in line kept eying Ashton and he shyly stood behind me and kissed the back of my head while wrapping his arms around me and Lexi was holding my hands trying to scan the menu. We began to order and Ashton stood very close to me not leaving my side and he was basically on top of me. I mean I love that he's so close but he doesn't need to be on top of me the whole day.

We sat down and began eating, Lexi sat on my lap while Ashton's chair was closer to mine. I put my sandwich down and looked over at Ashton, "Is something wrong?" I asked wondering why he's been super close lately.

"What, nothing's wrong babe." He tried reassuring me but he was biting his bottom lip and whenever he did that he was nervous.

"You've been super close to me today." I said raising my eyebrows.

"Uh it's because I love you so much." He cooed leaning in to kiss me but I leaned back and he gave me a pout.

"Ashton." I groaned trying to push him into telling me what was wrong.

"Alright I just want everyone to know you're mine, that and if I stay close to you I won't be able to mess anything up between us." He explained running his fingers through his hair.

"Ashton-"

"I just don't want to hurt you anymore and I know I say that all the time but the fact that I've hurt you more than once and yet you still give me another chance. Baby I don't know why you haven't left me yet.." Ashton said cutting me off and slouching his shoulders.

"I haven't left because I'm madly in love with you Ashton, I can't stand to be away from you. I know you've hurt me a lot and I know I should've left but I never could because I love you." I explained looking him dead in the eyes while I said this.

"Why didn't you just get together with Luke, he obviously likes you or maybe more and I hate to admit it but he's treat you better than I ever would. He's never hurt you like I have.." Ashton said.

"But I don't love him Ashton, I love you and I'll never stop. Things may get complicated but we work it out and are still together in the end." I told him as he began to intertwine our fingers.

"Addie I can't stand to watch you get hurt by me anymore, you mean the world to me baby." He said kissing the back of my hand. "I love you too much to lose you, again." He mumbled pressing his lips to the side of my head.

"And I love you too, we just need to work things out.." I signed kissing the back of Lexi's head while she ate her french fries and drank her water while Ashton and I talked.

"You're the best baby you know that?" He asked and I blushed before he pecked me on the lips. "I mean it to, you truly are the best." He said giving me another kiss.

"Mommy look I have Dino tenders." Lexi giggled now playing with her chicken nuggets.

"Baby don't play with your food." I said to her as she took a bite of one of her chicken tenders and smiled widely up at me.

She began to yawn and Ashton looked over at her, "Tired princess?" He asked and she shook her head.

"No I'm awake." She protested crossing her arms.

"Not for long." He whispered into my ear with a chuckle and I laughed along with him.

We were going back to our room now with Lexi passed out on Ashton's shoulder. We were almost back to the lounge and I'd have to say today was super fun, Lexi saw more characters and got all their autographs, and then after awhile of just walking around she began to go limp in Ashton's arms and that's when we knew she was asleep.

We were now back at the lounge and in our room as Ashton put Lexi in her bed so she could stay napping. The two of us were sat on the couch cuddling and watching a movie, I too began to become exhausted and my eyes started to close. I think Ashton realized I was tired and pulled me closer to him as he kissed my temple.

"I love you babe." He whispered before I fell asleep in his arms.
