part 60. cabin

today is the day ashton and violet planned to go to his cabin. the original arrangement was to get up early, pack what they need and get going right after lunch.

things didn't go quite to plan. not in a bad way. but in a way that they needed.

they woke up, past 10 am. as soon as ashton tried to leave the bed, violet was quick to wrap her arms around him, leaning her head over his shoulder to make him stay. he wouldn't say no to her.

they had time to cuddle, talk a little about how they were both feeling after a nights rest. somehow ended up spending perhaps a little too long kissing before falling back asleep for a while longer.

by the time ashton woke up this time around it was past noon, almost 1 pm. he managed to leave the bed this time, heading downstairs to make some coffee and lunch. of course, he made sure to write a little note to make sure violet knew what he was doing. he hadn't written a cute note since her birthday.

after there's a knock at ashton's door, violet is immediately awake. slowly blinking her eyes open to find the bed empty next to her, sun shining through the windows. moving around, a rustling noise catches her attention.

she sits up, moving the blankets around until she finds the small piece of paper with ashton's writing on. she smiles, holding it to see what it says.

good afternoon, my flower, it's good to have you home. packed a few things while you were sleeping, stopped to make some late breakfast. might have a surprise waiting for you, come down when you're ready. i love you. - ash x

she smiles, placing the note on the nightstand where her phone is. getting out of bed, she decides not to change what she's wearing yet. ashton's ac/dc shirt on her, covering her without needing to wear any trousers.

as she makes her way out of the room and downstairs, hearing movement coming from the kitchen, she goes there first. seeing ashton as soon as she walks inside. he looks over, smiling at her.

"hey, sleepy head." he stops what he's doing, wrapping his arms around her for a hug, leaning down to kiss her softly after.

"what have you been eating?" violet chuckles. "you taste sweet."

"oh! that would be maple syrup," he laughs, pointing to the counter behind him where he has two plates of food set up. "i made pancakes, uh, toast and there's some fresh fruit."

"is this my surprise?" she asks, walking over to the food, taking a strawberry to eat before turning back to ashton.

"not quite," he raises his eyebrows. "come on, we can eat in the living room."

he picks up the food with some cutlery, walking ahead of violet to the living room. he places the food down on his coffee table in front of where he'd already placed their drinks, as well as the surprise he'd bought for violet.

as soon as she walks inside, she sees the large bouquet of flowers, stopping just past the doorway. ashton sits himself down, noticing the pout on violet's face. he chuckles, patting the space beside him to get her to sit down.

she slowly goes closer, sitting down right next to ashton. leaning forwards to look at the flowers he'd bought. sitting in a dainty box, beige paper around the inside, a range of different flowers, purple, pink, yellow and red. a small card is attached at the side of the box, yet another sweet note.

violet, i tried to find the most beautiful flowers for the most beautiful person i know. you could call these apology flowers, or you can take them as a gesture to show how much i appreciate and love you. i hope we can work through this together, because i'd love to have you in my life for as long as you'll have me. i love you lots, my darling. - ash x
