Aston Ending

I look to the side to see Aston next to the bed. He's sleeping, his head on the bed while his hand take a hold of mine. I smile, the poor guy must be exhausted. And not gonna lie, I am too. My body hurts till a bit when I move. I stroke his soft hair, which causes him to jump up immediatly. As soon as he sees me, he smiles. His eyes twinkling before giving me a stern and annoyed expression again. "Don't you ever take a bullet for me again", he says sternly. I smile softly. 

"You know I can't promise such things...", I reply. Aston gives me a smile yet worried look in his eyes. "Is Monica...", I ask softly. "Yeah... she's in jail. The cops came in, and saved us. That lunatic is in jail and the others... well... they can age again. Having a normal life", he says. Aston still holds my hand tightly. 

"I'm sorry", he suddenly says. "I'm truly sorry for everything I did... I never wanted to hurt you, or your parents", he says. "But they're okay, and so I Rebecca." I smile at him. "Are you... mad at me?" He asks, as if he's afraid I hate him. 

I shake my head. "I'm not mad... you betrayed me  and it hurts but..." "I'm sorry, I don't want to betray you ever again", he says squeezing my hand. "I will do anything to make it right", he says. I tilt my head to the side a little. "Anything?", I ask. Aston nods immediatly, having no hesitation. "I prove to you that I won't ever hurt you again. Never again", he says, having a genuine expression on his face, making me believe him. 

"Let my parents go, that would be a great start", I reply. "Don't worry they are already back home. For a few days actually", he replies.
"Then answer my question, honeslty...", I say with a careful tone. "Did you kill people, Seven?"

There is a short silence between the two of us, and he nods his head. "Just two..."
"Two too much", I reply, glaring st hin softly. "If you want me to stop then I'll do so."
I smile relieved at him. "That's would be lovely. But there is one thing left you need to do for me..."

"Of all the things you've could have chosen, this is it?", Aston asks slightly annoyed as he walks beside me with his hands in his pockets. "Yes, indeed", I say with a teasing grin while holding a bowl of my favorite food that he bought for me. "How much I love this [favorite food]", I say and take a bite.

"Is that the only thing you love?", he asks, almost a teasing tone in his voice. I stop walking and smirk.

"There is one person I love more", I reply teasingly back. "And who that?", he asks, he's coming closer as if he already knew my answer.

"Who do you think?", I ask. Before I barely finish my sentence I can already feel his lips on mine. The kiss rather soft and gentle yet rough in his own way. When I kiss him back, his hands moves at my waist and pulls me closer. Feeling myself lost on his kiss, I can feel my heart beat rapidly in my chest. He never showed any signs of affection before but he did care. Only he never dared to show it.

When our lips part just can see the soft blush on his cheeks and the cheesy grin on his lips. "Me."

His reply sounds playful yet confident. I smile at his answer.

"Correct."

Aston smiles as he brings my lips back to his  co pletely forgetting about my bowl of food, I get lost in the moment.

Perhaps having a normal life again is possible...
