+Ashton's P.O.V+

"That was absolutely amazing." Grace says as she lays on her back.

"Yeah. It was." I agree, my breathing still irregular. "We should, do round twos, more often."

She giggles breathlessly, "Yeah, we should. But we have to be, careful."

"I can't breath." I chuckle.

"Well you are right now." She sasses, taking in a deep breath.

"Shut up." I smile as I turn over to press a kiss to her cheek.

----

I did catch my breath after all. And I'm now getting ready for work. Grace is still here, in one of my shirts. But that's nothing new. She's always wearing my clothing.

"Should I wear something a bit nice? I mean it's my first day and I don't wanna look informal."

"Well, I don't think it really matters. All the staff gets a uniform. Which you'll probably get today and I bet you'll look great in it." She smiles.

"Thanks." I chuckle, "I'm just nervous you know? I mean doing room service isn't that hard. But I haven't done room service stuff before."

"Ash, you'll do great. That's what training is for anyways. They teach what to do and if you have questions, I guarantee they'll know the answer."

"Ok." I sigh. "Let's do this."

"Good luck babe. Call me, when you get a chance."

"Will do." I say before kissing her and waving her goodbye as she walks home.

I would've driven her, but I have to get to work.

"Hey, can you help me find Bryson?" I ask a guy who is pushing a cart around the kitchen.

"You're talking to him. You must be Ashton." He says and shakes my hand briefly.

"Yeah, that's me."

"Ok, well here's your uniform. You can go change in that bathroom over there." He says and points to a closed door, while handing me a white outfit.

I take the clothes and head to the bathroom. I knock on the door, thankfully nobody being in there.

I strip from my regular clothes into the horrid uniform. I cringe at my reflection in the mirror. I need this job. It doesn't matter what I'm wearing.

"Great, ok. Here's a bag to put your other clothes in. You can put it in here." He says and opens a closest with a bunch of other things.

I place the bag on the ground and close the doors.

"Alright, come with me and I'll show you what to do. But don't worry, it's not a lot. Room service is pretty easy. But make sure you're nice, you'll get better tips that way. And if you get some girls, you'll definitely get some nice tips." He winks at me and pats my shoulder.

"Oh, um, ok." I say and enter the elevator with him.

"Lemme guess, you've got a girl at home?" He chuckles.

"Yeah. Well, she's not at my house. She's at her house." I say.

He chuckles, "You seem nervous."

"A little. I ramble, like girls do. It's annoying." I tell him.

We talked for the remaining time in the elevator, before we reached the floor he was giving the food too.

He then begins to tell me that they need to sign a paper, so we know they got the food. And to remember to knock on the door, obviously.

"Oh, hello. Ashton?"

"Aunt Brooklyn?" I question.

"Oh my word. You've gotten so big!" She smiles before pulling me in for a hug.

"I haven't seen you in forever, how's America?" I ask.

"It's nice. Living in the city is quite crazy, but I'm used to it by now. How's your mum? Haven't talked to her in ages."

"She's good. What are you doing in town?"

"Oh. Claire's getting married."

"Tell her I said congrats." I smile.

"Will do. Have a nice day. Tell your mother I said hello and give her a hug for me."

"I sure will Aunt Brooklyn. Hopefully we'll see you around." I say and wave.

"Well, I guess I know how the new people feel when they first start." Bryson chuckles.

"Yeah, I guess so."

----

I grab my bag of clothes before listening to what Bryson was saying.

"You did good today. So, tomorrow. Same time, but you're in charge. I'll be with you, I'll just watch you instead."

"Ok, see you tomorrow."

I exit the hotel and get into my car. I don't know why, but I'm extremely tired. I rest my head on the head rest. Putting the key in the ignition, I start the car and head home.

The drive was short, so I went straight to my bedroom and collapsed on my bed.

"Did you have a good day, honey?" mum asks.

"Yeah, I saw aunt Brooklyn. She says hi and that she sends a hug." I mumble to her.

"Oh that's great! What's she doing in town?"

"Claire is getting married."

"Oh my goodness! She must've grown up so fast. I remember when you two played with each other in the kitty pool out back." She giggles.

"That's great mum. Now, I'd greatly appreciate it if you let me take a nap."

"Alright honey." She chuckles. "I'll be downstairs."

I mumble an 'ok' before pulling off my uniform and sleeping in my boxers.

+Grace's P.O.V+

Ashton hasn't called me at all today. Is he still at work? I mean it's almost nine o'clock. He should be home.

I grab my car keys and head out the door. Taking the short drive to Ashton's house, I pull up in the driveway.

Knocking on the door, Anne opens it.

"Hello, dear. He's upstairs." She tells me before letting me in.

"Alright. Thank you." I smile before walking up the stairs.

I pop my head into his bedroom to see him sleeping on his stomach. I giggle before entering his room.

Taking off my shoes and jeans, I crawl into bed with him. Ashton grumbles a little before peeking his eyes open.

"Hey baby." He mumbles before lazily wrapping an arm around me.

"Hey Ash."

"Grace?" He asks, sitting up in bed. "What the hell?"

I giggle, "Well good evening to you too sleeping beauty."

"How long have you been here?" He asks and rubs his eye.

"I just got here." I tell him, still laying down.

He sighs, before laying down and pulling me to his chest. I look up at him and pucker my lips.

Ashton closes his eyes. I whine getting him I open his eyes. He chuckles before placing his lips to mine.

"I love you."

"Love you too." He says before giving me a little squeeze.
