I wake up feeling something hard under my body. I slowly open my eyes to find myself cuddled up to Ashton on the floor of my living room. I giggle to myself thinking how I've grown so used to spending all my time with him that I can't even go one night without him.

"What's so funny?" I hear a deep, raspy voice ask.

"Oh nothing. I was just thinking about how you have me wrapped around your little finger." I say resting my chin on his chest to look at him.

"I do don't I?" He says trying to be cocky. I giggle again and bury my face in his chest. He kisses the top of my head and says. "No, I think it's the other way around."

"How so?" I ask looking up.

"Well for starters, I had known you for like three days and made my mom drive me around the city like a bat out of hell to try and find you. Now, I'm here in your childhood home on my own free will just so I wouldn't have to be without you while you were gone."

"Ashton I-" I start but he cuts me off.

"You don't have to say anything. I know I'm absolutely crazy, but I can't seem to slow these feelings down no matter how hard I try. I'm falling for you Samantha, and I'm falling fast." Without thinking I lean up and kiss Ashton. This kiss is different from the ones we've shared before. This one is full of emotion and feelings. I can't quite point out what this feeling is, but I don't want it to go away.

I pull away not from the worry of my mother walking in but because for some reason I can feel as if someone is watching us. I turn around and to my surprise there's no one there. Don't you just hate that feeling? When it feels like someone is behind you but when you turn around nobody is there. It's such a weird feeling.

"What's wrong?" Ashton asks. I shake my head.

"Nothing." Ashton gives me a look as if to say 'I know something is up'. "Honestly, it's nothing. It just felt like there was someone watching us, I don't know." I sigh at my awful attempt of explaining what I felt. "Do you want breakfast?"

"I would love breakfast." He says smiling. I smile back and kiss Ashton's cheek before getting up and walking to the kitchen.

When I enter the kitchen my mother is standing at the counter with a cup of coffee. She looks up at me and smiles.

"Good morning, Samantha."

"Good morning. I didn't know you were awake." I say looking for the pancake mix.

"Yeah I haven't been up long. I just came down actually." I knew there was someone watching Ashton and I, I just knew it. At the sudden realization of what this means, my cheeks burn with embarrassment. I try to hide it as best as I can while I get everything ready to make pancakes. "You don't have to be embarrassed you know."

"What do you mean?" I ask hoping she's talking about something else.

"With Ashton. You don't have to be embarrassed about being with him the way that you are. I saw everything that happened and it's absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. You've got yourself a wonderful guy out there. Don't hide him or your feelings away." I sigh and take a glance at her. She's looking down at the coffee mug in her hands smiling. I smile to myself and keep quiet. Then I walk up to my mother and hug her. We stay like that until Ashton walks in.

"Oh, I'm- I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"No it's ok. I was about to go get ready for the day anyways. I'll be back down in a bit." I say to them before walking past Ashton and up the stairs to get ready.
