AFRAID {a.i.}

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Song of the Chapter: Simply Amazing - Trey Songz.

Ashton woke up me up by singing to himself. I groaned and flipped over, burying my head into my soft, white pillows. Ashton chuckled and scooted closer to me.

"Morning, love." His accent was thick and intimidating. I felt his lips press against my shoulders. I could no longer complain about the fact he woke me up.

"Morning, handsome." I chuckled, I turned over and our faces were inches away from each other. His arms held me securely against his body. I smiled and he pressed his lips against mine.

"You know I feel lucky right now." Ashton smirked and I raised my eyebrow.

"And whys that?" I felt him tighten his grip.

"Because usually boys don't get to wake up to their beautiful lady the morning after their second date." Ashton licked his lips. God, he knew that drove me insane.

"Why'd you do that?" I groaned in frustration. Ashton laughed and looked at me.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ashton licked his lips once more and I groaned, again. He knew exactly what I was talking about.

"You- licking your lips like that.. I can't even take it." I breathed and suddenly I crashed my lips against his. It was heated but passionate. I felt Ashton's hands run down my back to my butt. I gasped when he squeezed it. He chuckled and continued kissing me. "I'm so innocent Ashton, what the fuck have you done to me?" I said. My lips still locked on his as he smirked.

"That's the problem. You're innocent and it drives me crazy." Ashton was on top of me by now. His lips crawled all the way down to my neck. I pushed my head back, giving him more access. I couldn't help but moan at the sensitivity. I ran my hand through his hair and tugged at it. His lips found mine once again. I turned us over so I was on top. I removed Ashton's hoodie from myself and my bare chest was in view. Ashton breathed out. I kissed him once more. This time I kissed his neck. I left my mark and couldn't help but feel under control. But in a sudden, Ashton flipped us over. He pushed my arms back and held them there as he kissed down my body. I arched my back as he removed my shorts.

"Are you sure-"

"Ashton shut the fuck up." I cussed and Ashton laughed. My shorts were thrown into the middle of the room and he kissed up my inner thighs. I squirmed. Why did he have to tease me like that. I held his hair in my hands and suddenly his fingers took control.

It was more than the first time. The first time it was like we were just having fun. This time he was slower, yet quicker. It felt different, less pain, more pleasure. He was buried in my neck and I was screaming in pleasure. It sounded similar but it wasn't. This time meant much more.

My fingers ran over his abs as he lightly closed his eyes. Ashton was beautiful. I couldn't help but smile whilst watching him. I sat up, remembering something. Ashton noticed and pulled me back down.

"Ashton, did you use protection?" I asked. Ashton's breathing stopped for a second. He shook his head. I sat up once again, gasping. Ashton rushed to my side.

"Brooke I've done it loads of times you don't need to worry." Ashton sighed. I tensed at how open he was. "If you're that worried, we shall go and get the morning after pill or something." My mind wasn't functioning. I knew it was unlikely anything could happen from this, but I needed to get that pill.

"I've got to go to work. I'll get it after." I sighed and got out of the bed. I wore only Ashton's shirt. I took my clothes set on the dresser and walked up the bathroom. "I'll be 10-20 minutes. Do whatever makes you happy." I was annoyed with him, I mean who doesn't wear protection? I shut the bathroom door, and locked it. I started running the bath and once the bath was full, I stripped and stepped in. It was good to relax. I closed my eyes and rested my head against the edge of the bath. I was prepared to stay here for a while. I managed to sigh as my mind floated to Ashton. It was such a perfect moment but it had to be ruined. Everything between us always had to be ruined. I sighed.

After 15 minutes in the bath, I noticed the door jolt. I rolled my eyes, Ashton. His hands twiddled with the doorknob, but he failed to unlock it.

"Ashton, go away." It was silent again and I closed my eyes. Until, the door opened and Ashton stood with a pill and glass of water in his hands. I sat up covering myself. Ashton handed me the towel, so I could step out. I released the water and stepped out. I covered my naked body with the towel and he put the pill and water beside me.

"She said the quicker you take it, the less likely you are to fall pregnant. She also gave me some condoms." Ashton threw 4 packets of condoms down and I chuckled.

"Well you know they are there to be used." I snapped. I took the pill and pushed it down with my water. Ashton sighed.

"I was in the moment, babe I didn't think. You aren't going to get pregnant anyway." Ashton's hands were on my waist. I rolled my eyes.

"How do you know that? How do you know that your sperm isnt the fastest working sperm in the world?" I couldn't believe my words. I was so pathetic.

"Are you seriously discussing the speed of my sperm with me right now?" Ashton laughed and I slapped him playfully.

"Ew gross, just get out, so I can change." I waved him off and he winked.

"Anything for you, baby."

Work was a bore, Ben was ill so I had to do twice as much work. To top that, Ashton decided he would bring his mates back. He insisted that's where he writes with them, but today I knew he was winding me up.

"So orders?" I snapped, glaring at Ashton. Ashton smirked and leaned back in his chair.

"I thought manners were key in this cafe, Brooke, you are really letting yourself down right now." I was annoyed and he was agitating me. I turned and grabbed the water from the waiters plate. I poured it over him and he gasped. The other boys laughed.

"You had that coming mate." Luke cackled and I couldn't help but feel proud. Even the woman behind the counter was laughing, though I thought she would be unimpressed. I crouched to his level on the chair.

"Aw babe, would you like me to wipe you dry?" I intimated. His eyes looked down at me. Calum laughed beside him.

"Like you did this morning?" Ashton shot back. I stood up and laughed. Ashton smirked and I threw the towel in his face.

"I wouldn't want my baby left unfinished now, would I?" I ruffled his damp hair and he glared. "Use protection next time, asshole." I walked away and Ashton rolled his eyes. This was a joke-filled conversation but I wanted him to know I was angry. Because I was.
