part 67. new territory

after an interesting night of getting high, it was assumed everyone would be sleeping in late.

that was mostly the case.

it's just gone past midday. ashton has been awake for a while, knowing the guys are awake as he's heard them making some noise in the kitchen. most likely getting themselves some food.

he isn't surprised that violet hasn't woken up yet. she's had a long two weeks of adjusting to living in a different house, feeling anxious, and on top of that she smoked with the guys last night, probably adding to her tiredness. however, it did allow her to sleep through the whole night.

she's laying away from ashton currently, not how she usually sleeps. ashton's on his side, watching her, seeing how peaceful she seems. happy that she managed to sleep well.

he wants to move closer to her, hug her against him, but he doesn't want to disturb her, end up waking her up when she clearly needs the rest.

he can't help himself though, shuffling over to her, wrapping his arms gently around her to pull her towards him. he notices a small smile form on her face at the gesture.

she let out a quiet hum, stirring after ashton moved her. she feels happy, happy to be in ashton's embrace, happy to be here, happy after a good nights sleep. she tilts her head back slightly to look up at him.

"hi, sleepy girl," ashton whispers, kissing her cheek softly. "how're you feeling?"

"i'm okay," she mumbles. "think that's the best i've slept since being here."

"think the weed had something to do with it." ashton says.

then it all comes back to her. everything that happened last night, the way she acted, the things she said. it almost feels like that was a completely different person to the way she normally is around ashton.

"i'm sorry for last night," she looks away from him, quite embarrassed about it. "i don't know where my behaviour came from, especially in front of the guys.

"you don't need to apologise, baby," ashton is quick to say. "i liked it."

"oh," violet shuffles, leaning up to be face to face with ashton. "it wasn't weird for me to suddenly do that?"

"not weird, i just... didn't expect it from you." he says honestly. "but i did actually like it."

he pauses, leaning closer to her, "especially the part where you told me you like when i touch you," he pecks her lips softly. "now was that because you were high, or did you really like it?"

"i liked it," she confidently replies. "like your hands on me."

he chuckles lowly, cupping her cheek to pull her closer for a kiss, deepening it as they start. violet doesn't hesitate to move herself to comfortably lay on top of ashton, he soon rolls them over so he's on top instead. hands instantly snaking under her shirt to caress her sides.

continuing like they did before, she loops her legs around him, hands tugging lightly at his hair as they get even more into this.

ashton is about to test the waters by moving one hand up to her chest, as violet had him do last night, when his bedroom door abruptly opens.

"who's hungry— oh my god." calum quickly closes the door again.

ashton and violet separate from each other, both looking over to the door. seeing calum has definitely left the room. he turns back to violet, seeing she's covering her face with her hands.

"if i had a nickel for every time we've been walked in on while making out..." ashton laughs, causing violet to peek out from behind her hands.

"why's it always calum." violet finally jokes.
