Ashton's POV
Her apartment was dark and quiet, the only noise heard was her tv in her room, where I'm guessing she was.
I tiptoed to her bedroom, peaking through the door. I could only see a glimpse of her, the room too dark and the tv not giving me enough light to see her face.
But telling by how one of her arms is hanging off the bed, and the light snores I hear - she must be sleeping.
I push her door open, it creaks making Maxie lift her head, a low growl emitting from her mouth.
"It's me, Maxie." I whisper, shutting the door behind me.
Maxie visibly relaxes, laying her head back on to the pillow that's designated for me.
I shrug my jean jacket off, slipping my shoes off as well as I advance towards my sleeping beauty.
I lower the tv volume and pick up Maxie, placing her on a pile of clothes Kat had near her closet. Maxie doesn't do much but close her eyes, falling back to sleep.
I walk back to the bed, sliding in beside Kat as gently as possible, pulling the cover over myself. I don't waste time putting my arm around her waist and carefully pulling her towards me.
She whines alittle in her sleep, her head turns towards my face, her nose nudging with mine. Her eyes are closed and I know she's deep in her sleep.
"Love you." I mumble pecking her lips, she makes a 'mm' noise, her body turning and clinging to mine, our legs tangling beneath us.
I yawn, closing my eyes and savoring the moment.
Sure I wanted to come here and talk to Kat and ask her about her day, tell her about mine and have a mini make out session, but this was great too. Just having her in my arms as she sleeps in the best feeling. I hope I don't ever get use to it.
I peck Kat's forehead, before tugging her closer to me, my chin on the top of her head.
"Ashton," Kat mumbles, her voice raspy and full of sleep. I move my head to face her, watching as her eyes squint and blink at me, thankfully I still had the tv on so I could see her face.
"What's up baby?" I ask quietly, a smile tugging on my lips. Kat rubs her eyes tiredly, her tongue darting out to lick her dry lips.
"When'd you get in?"
"Less than 15 minutes ago." I chuckle quietly, pecking the side of her mouth. She nods, burying her face into my chest, her arms tightening around my torso.
She was still half asleep. I chuckle lightly, loosely draping my arm over her waist, my fingertips ghosting over her exposed skin, tracing organic shapes over it.
"I love you." I say quietly, hoping she isn't too asleep to not respond.
"Love you too." She mumbles into my chest, almost robotically - definitely telling me she was still in her sleep.
I smile, closing my eyes and letting sleep take over me as well.
-
"Maxie!" Kat whines, her foot stomping lightly on her floor. I yawn before opening my eyes to see what the situation was.
"What happened?" I ask, rubbing my eye. I watch as Kat huffs, crossing her arms over her chest before running her hand trough her hair.
