Little Princess ~A.M~

Chapter 9

~Scarlet's POV~

I was woken up the next morning by a very loud ringing phone, I groaned as I rolled over on my stomach, burying my head in my pillow.

"Ry, your phone......", I mumbled into the pillow, "Rylie, wake up......For god sake!", I lifted my head and turned to see the other side of the bed completely empty, I frowned in confusion as I sat up and leaned over, grabbing Rylie's phone off the bedside table and answering it with my eyes still closed.

"'Ello?", I mumbled as I tried rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"Scar? Oh hiya love, how are you?", Connor sounded surprised for a split second before he spoke through a chuckle.

"Con! I'm good! You?", I smiled brightly, hearing my best friends voice, "I miss you".

"Aww, I miss ya too Scar! And I'm OK thanks babe, just after my girlfriend, she there?".

I giggled as I sat up, rubbing my eyes again, "Um, I don't really know how to answer that".

"What the hell does that mean?".

"I woke up and she wasn't here, she's probs downstairs or something, I'll go see".

I pulled the covers back and just as I dragged my exhausted body off the bed, my en-suit door swung open and Rylie came creeping out.

The second she glanced up and saw me, a wide smile formed on her lips, "Oh, mornin' babe, I didn't know you were awake, was tryn'a be as quiet as I could, wait, is that my phone?", she pointed to the device in my hand with a slight frown on her face.

I rolled my eyes playfully, "Yes and the only reason I'm awake is because of your boyfriend!", I joked playfully as Rylie let out a loud giggle.

"Hey! Ya love me really!", Connor shouted from the other end of the phone.

"Oh whatever!", I giggled as I threw the phone to Rylie and stood up off the bed, "I'll be downstairs when ya finished talkin' to lover boy!", I smirked at Rylie as I walked out of the room.

~Aston's POV~

I was sat at the kitchen table with a cup of tea in one hand and a piece of toast in the other.

"Morning Ast!".

I turned my head to the right to see Scarlet walk into the room, "Morning babe, sleep OK?".

"Uh huh, Ry's talking to Connor, she'll be down in a bit", she explained as she starting making a cup of tea.

"The kettles not long boiled", I explained as I smiled at her.

"Okie dokie", she turned to face me with a wide smile on her lips, "Hey Ast?".

I raised my eyebrow, smiling back at her, "Yes Scar?".

She giggled as she jumped up on the counter top, earning a glare off me, "Be careful! Your back won't be healed properly yet!".

She rolled her eyes as she sighed deeply, "Ast, I'm fine! Anyways, can we put the Christmas decks up today? Ry could help us".

I smiled and nodded, "I was gonna do it today anyways, I mean it's already the 23rd and the house is bare, usually it's looking like Santa's grotto by now", I spoke through a chuckle as Scar giggled into her hands.

"Yea but you have only got back from tour".

"Mmhm, so after we've had breakfast, I'll get all the decks down from the attic".

Scarlet nodded as she jumped down off the counter and started making her cup of tea, "Do you get a real tree every year?".

"No, I've got a really big artificial tree".
