Guilty » Cashton [BOOK ONE]

XI. Bliss

☂Calum☂

I awoke to the sounds of birds chirping, which was strange, because I slept with a fan on at night.

It's hard for me to sleep long periods of time without waking up from nightmares.

The soft buzz, created by the fans blades circulating, allowed me to find peace, and pleasantly drift off with a clear mind.

Curiously, I peeled one of my eyes open, regretting that action as I was blinded by the suns rays.

I groaned at the sudden stimulus, but slowly adjusted to the brightness.

And this wasn't my bedroom.

I let my hand brush against the leather seat, I was laying on. Then that's when everything started coming back to me.

I tried to sit up from my position, but was stopped by an arm that was wrapped around me.

"Stop moving." A groggy voice said, gripping me tighter.

It took my a second to catch on to what was going on, being half asleep.

It appeared that Ashton had stayed with me all night, which I was not expecting. I couldn't help the smile that blissfully covered my face.

Though, the smile quickly turned into a look of fear, as soon as I realized I was probably late for school. Not to mention, my mom probably called the police, seeing that I wasn't in my room.

"What time is it?" I said, wiggling around, trying to get up.

"Early, go back to sleep." Ashton said, resting his chin in the crook of my neck.

His morning voice killed me, sending a small shiver throughout my body.

"I can't be late for school." I mumbled.

I almost didn't think he heard me, until I felt him move around, and reach into his pocket for what I assumed was his phone.

His hands lightly grazing down my back as he did so.

"It's only 5:30am, we have two hours." He sighed, placing his phone back into his pocket.

I decided there was no use in debating him, and I really didn't want to.

I slowly felt myself slip back into a peaceful slumber. Eyes getting heavier by the second, and just like that, I was out again.

The second time I woke up, was not by anything natural.

It was to the feeling of lips on my neck, kissing, and sucking at my skin.

"A-Ashton?" I found myself grumbling, biting my lip to conceal a moan.

I felt the lips disconnect, followed by small chuckle.

"I tried shaking you, and calling your name, but none of that worked. So now I know what to do next time." He said cheekily, removing his arms from around me.

I felt my face heat up. There's no way he did all of that without waking me up.

"I'm sorry." I said sitting up quickly.

I almost bumped my head on the ceiling, from being so abrupt, but smoothy prevented that embarrassment.

As soon as I sat up, I felt a shiver run down my spine, so I gripped my bare arms tightly. I had almost forgotten that I was topless, because of Ashton's radiating heat behind me all night.

"Don't worry about it. It kind of turns me on." Ashton said while yawning.

"Um...shouldn't we be getting too school?" I said, ignoring him completely.

"Yeah, I was going to drop you off at your house first, unless you wanted to go like that." He said looking down at my chest.

My eyes followed his gaze, and I quickly became flustered, reaching down to the floor for my hoodie.

He just laughed, obviously noticing my frazzled appearance.

"Also, you're going to need to move, so that I can get to the drivers seat." He said winking at me, and biting his lower lip.

"Oh!" I shouted lamely, pulling my hoodie over my head, and opening the door.

I couldn't see what I was doing completely, so of course my hoodie ended up backwards.

I walked over towards the door to the passengers side, sliding myself in, and buckling up.

Soon after, Ashton got into the car, looking me up and down, before smiling to himself.

I was actually surprised that he ignored the way I had pitifully put on my hoodie.

"I like-" Ashton began.

"Don't even say it."
