Pulling into the driveway, I sighed with relief. I was home after sitting in traffic for two hours coming home from work. Now, I can find my fiancé and hope he's making dinner.

Last year the world stopped when the Coronavirus took over. That put everyone in place. My fiancé, Ashton, and I stayed home except for tiny trips alone or a trip to my grandparent's lake house.

Being stuck at home ended up being great. Ashton and I grew closer than we had ever been before. Then last year on the Fourth of July, we headed up to my grandparent's lake house. My parents were there, along with my grandparents and my sister. We were on the boat at night and I stood to go grab something from the back and when I turned around, Ashton was down on one knee with the most gorgeous ring I had ever seen.

He proposed after dating for two and a half years. But everything stopped at the engagement. Because of Covid, we hadn't been able to do any wedding planning.

Now with the world back open, we hope to move forward on wedding plans and to find a house we want to start a family in.

I walked into the house and sat my stuff on the kitchen counter. I paused to listen to figure out where my fiancé was. I vaguely heard the drumming coming from the basement.

I traveled down the stairs and down the small hall where Ashton's drum room is. During quarantine, we had to soundproof it because we got so many complaints from the neighbors.

I pushed the door open and waited as Ashton finished. He still hasn't noticed me standing there.

His drumming finally stopped and he looked up, a blush coming across his face,

"Hey honey" he then laughed, setting his drumsticks to the side,

"Hi bubs" I smiled and stepped closer, pressing a kiss to his lips,

"You're later than usual" Ashton tilted his head, looking at the time on his Apple Watch,

"Traffic was horrible" I groaned,

"Yeah? Well why don't you go shower and we'll order some dinner and relax"

I smiled and nodded. He got off the drum stool and followed behind me upstairs, hitting my butt the whole time,

"You're annoying" I laughed as I took off to our room, Ashton chasing after me, tackling me onto our bed,

"Are you showering with me?" I asked as he hovered me, my arms over his shoulders and his hands holding him up over me,

"Yup" he spoke, popping the 'p'.

He slowly got off of me and we quickly made our way to the bathroom, starting a warm shower.

Our nighttime routine is almost always the same unless Ashton suddenly gets inspiration, then he rushes downstairs to his studio. We get cozy and curl up together on the couch with a movie or tv show we are binging on. Ashton always pops us popcorn and makes these ridiculous slushies.

The popcorn had long been eaten and the slushies had been drunk, both the bowl and cups discarded on the coffee table. I laid on Ashton, my head tucked under his chin, with my arms around his waist. We had a blanket over us and Ashton was lightly scratching my back. We spent most of our nights in quarantine like this. We would be in separate areas of the house during the day to not bother each other while working, then at night we were together,

"You wanna head to bed honey?" Ashton hummed, his lips pressed to my head. I nodded and slowly climbed off of him,

"I'll be there in a second," he told me, kissed my cheek, then grabbed the bowl and cups off the coffee table heading into the kitchen. I turned and headed into our room. I changed out of my sweats and hoodie, changing into one of Ashton's shirts. When sleeping next to him, I have to wear just a shirt and underwear or a bra and underwear. The guy is practically a heater.

I walked into the bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush, putting some toothpaste on, and beginning to brush my teeth. Ashton followed a few seconds later, already stripped down to his boxers. After teeth, I began washing my face. Ashton decided to be clingy and held me from behind, his face burying in my neck as I did so.

With the night routine done, we both climbed into bed. Ashton immediately curled up behind me, holding my back to his chest. He kissed the side of my neck a few times before I turned my head, capturing his lips,

"Goodnight bub" I whispered, "I love you"

"Goodnight honey. I love you"
