"Sleeping is so hard when I can't stop thinking about you."
CARMEN'S POV:
I shoot up from where I had fallen asleep.
I had a bad dream. A really. Bad. Dream. Fez and Ash... and there's was g- oh my God, it was horrible...
I panicked as my eyes shot around the unfamiliar room.
"Carmen, what wrong?" I hear Ashtray say tiredly beside me as he sits up. I calm down slightly as I come to the realization that I'm in his room, I slowly remember how I got here. What must have been a few hours since it's still dark.
"I... yeah. Just a nightmare..." I say, staying seated.
"Do you need anything?" He asks. I shake my head.
"Water?" He asks anyway, resting one hand on my knee. His touch is calming... comforting. I nod, looking down at my legs, still covered by the blanket.
He gets up and walks out, leaving me alone once more.
I hate being alone, ever since I was little.
And I hated this whole situation all the same. I shot a man, I usually can't even imagine hurting a soul.And the way Fez looked at me, the guy I shot was the one hurt, and he was terrified for me. Like I was the one who got shot in the shoulder.
And Ash... how he held my hand, and all I did was sit there and be confused because I had never been shown such gentleness like that by anyone except my mom.
And now she's gone.
After all my siblings had moved out by the time I was 9, my dad was the only thing I had left.
But now, I barely have him. Although, I have my boys now. And I really love them, even if Ash is a dick sometimes.
Everything hits me at once, and I start crying. Silent, but non-stop.
Ash walks in, closing the door gently behind him and making his way back the he bed- his bed, I mean.
"Ma..." He empatheticly says with a chuckle. I upside-down smile at him as he does.
I stay seated on the head end of the bed while Ash sits in front of me.
"You're okay." He chuckles, wiping my tears.
"I know." I say.
"How did I get here?" I ask, playing dumb as I look around the room.
He shakes his head dismissively.
We look at each other, my gaze occasionally flickering down to his lips.
I feel the corners of my eyes sting as I go deeper into thought.
"That was terrifying." I say, upside-down smiling
"I know, Ma." He says. "As long as you ain't get shot, it's ight!" He jokes. We both quietly chuckled.
I stare into his eyes, or what I can see in the pale moon light.
He stares back as if he's examining every feature on my face.
I think it's only now that I realize how closer we are. Our faces are one, maybe two inches from each other's.
Our eyes both ping-pong between each other's eyes and lips. We both lean in closer. My cheeks flush.
"You're safe with me, Ma." He says, placing a hand on my knee before closing the distance between us in a kiss.
I kiss back eagerly, savoring the softness of his lips. We stayed like this for a short while before he pulled back, his brown eyes boaring holes into my green ones.
He moves forward, pulling me down onto the bed with one arm. I giggle as I hit the bed.
He lays down, I lie beside him.
"Good night, Ash." I say, and without a word, he grabs me, dragging me to him and enclosing me in his arms.
"Ash-" I squeak out as he does so.
"You fine, Ma." He says with a laugh. I lay my head on his chest. I like hearing his breathing. It calmed me.
"Good night, Ma." He says, keeping his arms around me.
"Good night, Ashtray." I say, slowly drifting off to sleep.
-------------------
I wake up to the sound of Fezco.. laughing.
I open my eyes and see Ash, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking pissed and tired
Fezco's in Ash's doorway, laughing his ass off while staring at his phone.
I hop off the bed while saying, "What happened?" I say before walking to Fez.
"Fez is being a dick. That's what's happening." Ash says, I look at Fezco's phone.
It's a picture of me and Ash, me asleep in Ash's arms in the middle of the bed.
"Delete that!" I shout, trying to snatch the phone from him. He lifts it over his head, just out of my reach.
"Nah, this is fuckin gold." Fezco bellows while still laughing.
"We didn't do anything, bro!" Ash says in a raised tone.
Fezco shoots us both a look before leaving the room without a word.
After a couple of hours, I agree to Ash driving me home. Now I'm sitting in the car, in his usual spot, while he's driving.
I can't stop thinking about last night, how he touched me so gently, how he spoke to me. How he.... kissed me...
"You okay?" He asks, breaking me out of my trance.
"Yeah, just tired, I guess." I say. "You know you didn't have to drive me home." I said.
"I know. I wanted to." He says.
"Awww, well, aren't you just a ray of sunshine." I say, sort of teasingly.
"Don't call me that." He retorts.
"Okay, sunshine." I say, turning my head away with a cheeky smile.
"Try me, princess." He says, purposely speeding up.
"Okay, okay!" I laugh out. "And do not call me that." I say.
"Than don't call me sunshine." He says.
"Oh, geez. That might be a bit difficult." I say sarcastically.
"Then I'll call ya' princess every time you do." He retorts.
"Okay, whatever, Sunshine." I say, holding in my laugh.
"Carmen!" He complains, and both of us can't help but laugh.

I didn't know if it was too early for them to kiss or like not, but I thought it was a good idea since it's the 10th chapter and I thought it was good timing anyway.
