Little Princess ~A.M~

Chapter 7

~Aston's POV~

I pulled back the curtain to Scarlet's bed and smiled brightly when I saw her curled into a ball fast asleep, I knew I had to wake her, we had an hour before rehearsals started.

I moved some hair from her face as I shook her gently, "Scar".

There was no response from her at all, "Scarlet, wake up babe".

Still nothing, I frowned slightly as I gently stroked her right cheek, "Come on, you gotta wake up".

She finally opened her eyes a few seconds later and I smiled softly at her, "Hey babe, sorry to wake you but you've gotta get ready, you're coming to rehearsals, Roch is gonna be there and she can't wait to finally meet you".

Scarlet's eyes widened in excitement as she jumped down from her bunk with a wide grin on her lips, "YAY! I can't wait to meet her either!".

I chuckled while shaking my head at the over-excited 12 year old, "You have 45 mins babe".

She just nodded as she grabbed some clothes then ran into the bathroom, I left her to it then walked off into the kitchen, with a grin still plastered on my lips.

"Is she up?".

I turned to look at Marvin and nodded, "Yep, at first she didn't wanna wake up but when I said Roch is gonna be there she jumped out of her bunk that fast, I'm surprised she didn't hurt herself, she is so excited".

Marvin chuckled while shaking his head, "Bless her, Roch is the same, she's been texting me all morning".

I chuckled to myself as I started cooking some breakfast.

Twenty minutes later Scarlet came running in the room, I smiled at her as I leaned against the counter with my hands pressed against the counter top either side of me, "You look lovely babe".

"Thank you", she smiled brightly as she jumped on the small sofa in the corner of the kitchen but as soon as she did, she winched in pain and I shot towards her kneeling down and resting my hand on her knee, as i stared directly into her eyes, "What?! What is it?!", I felt the panic quickly rising as I silently begged her to answer me.

"I just-My back", she croaked as she took a few deep breaths, to try and ease the pain.

"You OK Scar?", Marvin asked as he moved from where he was standing to sit next to her.

After a few more seconds she nodded and managed to pull a small smile, "Yea, I think I just landed on it wrong".

I frowned slightly as I gave her a stern look, "Well, be careful next time! I don't want you back in hospital".

She looked down nodding slowly, "Sorry".

I sighed and kissed the top of her head as I stood up straight, "Its fine babe, I'm cooking some breakfast, hope you're hungry".

She sighed as she placed her hand on her stomach, "I'm starving!".

I chuckled as I resumed with the cooking, "Good".

**************************

I watched in amusement as Scarlet jumped up and down in excitement, "Babe, you need to calm down".

She giggled and stopped jumping as she leaned her head on my shoulder, "I'm sorry".

I laughed along with the other lads just as the door to our dressing room opened, Rochelle made her way into the room smiling brightly, "Where's Scarlet?!".

I heard Scarlet squeal in excitement and Rochelle spun around instantly spotting her, Rochelle's smile widened as she quickly made her way over to us and gently pulled Scarlet in a tight hug, "Hey hey hey, be careful with her! She's been having trouble with her back today!", I spoke in concern as I watched Rochelle tighten the hug even more.
