Bad.

Six.

"I want to see you." Ashton almost whispered into the phone.

I smiled to myself. "You can see me tomorrow. I'll have nothing to do all day." Four days had passed since I last saw Ashton. I had some things with my job I needed to do and help my sister with so I couldn't go out with him at all. I was too tired by the time I got home to go anywhere special or even get dressed to go. I had disappointed him time and time again but I was free for at least a day.

"I have somewhere to go in mind already." I could almost hear the smile in his voice.

"Oooo. Do I get to know?" I asked while playing with a stray strand of hair.

"Nope but I'm gonna go to bed. You'll see tomorrow."

"Fine. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye beautiful."

"Bye Ashton."

I had to get my breath back after hearing him say that. I loved it. My phone lit up and beeped so I looked down to check it. It was Justice.

Justice:

Nial will be in town tomorrow. Just a heads up. Love you. xoxo

He was my informer. If he knew that Niall was anywhere near me he let me know. I avoided him at all costs and Justice was always hearing rumors and things from friends so he let me know what he knew. It wasn't like I freaked out when he was in town I just stayed away from his favorite places. It seems childish but I knew if we ran into each other it would be a disaster.

Me:

Thanks love. I miss you. Love you. xoxo

I hoped whatever Ashton had planned was far away from Niall. It better be.

Ashton had picked me up early. He took me to lunch and dinner. He took me to his favorite quiet little spot in town. We talked forever there. He held my hand all day. As a matter of fact he barely let it go. Even his eyes never wanted to look away from me. They were warm full of happiness that I wasn't rejecting him every five seconds like before. He seemed to be enjoying himself and I know I was. Then he suggested we go back to the hotel he was staying at and I agreed because I just didn't want to leave. I wanted to be with him all night though I knew I wouldn't. I wanted to make the day stretch on forever. His room was fairly simple. Though there was a separate room for his bedroom and bathroom.

"You have a nice view in this room." I commented as I looked out the glass door that led to the balcony.

He handed me a glass of red wine and looked out too. "It is nice." We looked out at the city for few minutes before he put his hands on my waist and pulled me close to him. My breath caught in my throat as my arms weaved themselves up around his neck, one hand still holding the glass. I hesitantly looked up into his eyes knowing what I would feel when I did. The intensity of his stare held me there, speechless. I just looked at him. Memorized his perfect features before I was rudely cut off by a kiss. Though I didn't even mind. His warm lips moved with mine perfectly. Making me breathless seconds after they first touched. His hands pulled me closer even though there was no room left between us. I reacted the way I shouldn't and pulled back at him keeping us glued together instead of stopping what should be stopped. I was about to fall too deep too quick then someone knocked on the door. We broke apart and I could breathe again. Ashton seemed extremely disappointed and I giggled.

"Want me to get that?" I asked letting him go and stepping back a little.

He nodded. "Yeah, and if its one of the guys hit him for me."
