I woke up with Ashton's arm tightly around my waist and my alarm blaring, 6:15 am

 "Mhmmm Ashton I gotta get up for work, it's my last day so I can't stay in bed." He didn't wake up but I was able to pry myself from his grip.

 I walked to my bag for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash then to the bathroom and started the shower. 

After I was done I searched the bathroom for a hotel blow dryer but this one doesn't have them. We're going natural today, I walk out of the bathroom and over to my bag on the floor. I pulled out my light wash skinny jeans and black flowy tank top. Once I put it on and tucked the tank top into the waistband of my jeans, I grabbed my make-up bag and headed back to the bathroom. 

After I was done I put on my black Converse. I unplugged my phone from the charger and checked the time. 7:30 am, I have 45 minutes so I can get coffee on the way, I walk over to Ashton's side of the bed and gently wake him up, 

“Ash” I whispered in his ear 

“Hmm?” he hummed

 “ I have to leave for work” I said, He turned over and looked a me 

“Let me drive you” He said starting to wake up 

“Then get up, I have 45 minutes and I still want to get coffee on the way” 

“ok,” he said getting up and walking to his back grabbing a toothbrush, toothpaste and a shirt.

 I went back into the bathroom to grab my soap from the shower, Ashton still had bed head so I went to go fix it for him but of course, I was too short 

“Did you grow?” I asked 

“ No, you just shrunk”

 “no you grew” I said which made him laugh and bend down to pick me up and set me on the counter. 

I fixed his hair, and he stood between my legs for a second 

“I'm not gonna lie to you, I want to kiss you right now” he said which made me look down at my lap as visions of last night popped in my head. 

*Flashback* 

He started to lean and I… 

“Ashton I can't,” I said pulling back 

“I haven't kissed anyone in a year, I love you-”

 “It's ok” He cut me off

 “You sure” I questioned 

“ yeah, come here,” he said pulling me into a hug.

*end of flashback* 

“Look at me,” He said lifting my head up, 

 “I'll wait till you’re ready again,” he said, I leaned over and kissed his cheek, he helped me down off the counter and we walked out of the bathroom, I walked over and grabbed my bag and we headed out the door.

  "Now go don’t keep our girl waiting," I said and he jogged over and got in the car. Caitlin walked over right after

 “It is okay that you still love her,” she said,

 “ I mean if I were in your position, I would too” she continued
