All That Matters || Ashton FanFic

Chapter Five

I woke up the next day with a throbbing pain in my head and the sun shining through the slits of my curtains aren't helping. They shone directly to my face, like, you're seeing Jesus Christ straight from heaven. I laughed at my own thoughts and sat up lazily. I looked at my alarm clock on the bedside table, rubbing my eyes. It's just 7:23 in the morning and I groaned automatically. It's too early and I haven't even planned on doing anything till 12 in the afternoon. But, still, I stood up at the end of my bed and stared at it.

"No?... Yeah, no.", I said, throwing myself back in the bed and drowning myself with the pillows. I feel so tired and lazy to move. I turned my body and lay on my back, clasped my hands and put them to my tummy.

So, last night. Do I wanna think about it? Of course, I do! I'm still overwhelmed about having new friends and hanging out with them. It's not everyday that I meet great people so, yeah. And another thing, Ashton. Yeah, Ashton.

He tried to kiss me. And I didn't object. Why is that? I'm sure I'm gonna ask this myself and here I am now. The things he does to me. It's just a day, is that even possible? Add the fact that I hated him the first time we met. What's happening? Or maybe I was just not used to being so close with boys who I am really not close to that's why it's making me feel this way. I couldn't explain exactly but I feel like there's a zoo inside my stomach whenever he's near. Oh, God.

Instead of playing 20 questions with myself, I finally decided to stand up again and went my way to my bathroom. I put my hands on the sink and examined myself in the mirror. Nothing new, I guess. Am I really expecting I'd grew a unicorn horn? I'm crazy.

After brushing my teeth and taking a quick shower, I change into my yoga pants and a plain white shirt and tied my hair into a bun. I fixed my too-messy-for-a-girl bed and proceeded downstairs, checking my phone for any message I could have. I thought of cooking breakfast for the guys, but I dismissed that idea when I saw them already sitting on the bar stools. Margaret's already cooking something. How could I have not thought of that? I laughed mentally.

The boys had their backs on me except for Michael who automatically smiled when he saw me, making the other boys turn their backs and smiled at me as well. I met Ashton's gaze and he gave me another warm smile.

"Good morning.", I greeted as I sit to an empty stool next to Michael. He gave me a light pat on my back and smiled at me. They all greeted me back, as well as Margaret who just continued cooking after. She's preparing pancakes and bacon and eggs for us.

Luke rested his arms on the counter and leaned down, "How was your night?"

I shrugged, "It was fine. I slept well, if that's what your asking." I chuckled.

"Lucky you.", Calum sighed and closed his eyes while he rested his head on his arms.

I laughed lightly, they all look tired, actually. "Why? Didn't you have a goodnight sleep?", I asked, eyeing each one of them.

"We could've had if not for Michael's singing.", Calum replied, still had his eyes closed.

I looked at Michael in amusement who just shrugged. I laughed at their faces, mostly annoyed except for Michael who has this smirk on his face.

"He kept singing Let It Go like some retard and told us all he's Elsa, Anna and Olaf mixed up in one body. He even copied Elsa's moves.", Ashton looked up, giving Michael a dirty look who just laughed his ass out with me.

"Oh my God, Michael. What has come into your mind?", I asked him, standing up to fetch myself water from the fridge. I hope this can ease the headache I'm having.

He stopped himself from laughing and hold his tummy, "I was drunk, okay? I'm sorry." He threw his hands up in defeat.

"And that's a lesson for us not to let you drink that much again.", Luke snapped.
