Damaged Hearts (Norman Reedus)

Court

Ashley's pov

I woke up alone and smelled coffee brewing. I opened my eyes and seen the sun shining thru the white curtains. I smiled and stretched before pulling Norman's pillow to me smelling his scent. I closed my eyes thinking I must have done something right.

"God I love this man." I said letting the pillow go and getting up and found something to wear.

I found my hot neon pink jogging pants and my black Pink Floyd short sleeve shirt and tossed them on before going downstairs to find the others. Missy, Mingus and Roxie was playing with Mason while Sean was talking to mom but no sign of Norman or Dad.

"Good morning honey." Mom said smiling at me.

"Good morning." I said still looking around for Norman.

"He and your Dad are in the man cave fixing it up." Mom said as I nodded and headed down to the man cave to see them.

Once down there I smiled and tried not to make a sound since both dad and Norman had their back towards me. I loved to look at Norman with his hair so messy I always thought it looked sexy as hell. I hoped that he wouldn't cut it even after The Walking Dead show was completely over.

"Good morning you two." I said making both Norman and Dad look at me.

"Good morning love." Norman said smiling at me as he came over to me to try to kiss me but I held up my fingers like a cross.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet...I have morning breath." I said making Dad laugh. "I just wanted to come down here and see what you two were doing before I had my morning coffee and took a shower." I added.

"Fine...were just messing around down here. Trying to figure out what color to paint the walls." Norman said as he quickly gave me a kiss making me laugh.

"I hear yea." I said still laughing. "I'm was also wondering if I could take Mingus with me when I go out shopping for paint." I added.

"I was thinking we could all go." Norman said as I nodded.

"Alright, that would be even better." I said. "Well I'm gonna go and get come coffee in me and then take a shower so we can start our day." I added turning from him and Dad but not before feeling my butt being smack. "Norman Mark Reedus!" I yelled rubbing my butt.

"What it's mine?" Norman said making me roll my eyes.

"Okay what ever...I'm gone." I said finally making my way upstairs.

When I got back up to everyone Mom had a cup of coffee for me waiting for me. I smiled and nodded for her to follow me to the back porch so we could talk. She followed me as we went outside. Once outside I took the cool October air into my lungs before sitting down and lighting my first cigarette of the day.

"What is it baby?" Mom asked looking at me.

"Nothing Mom." I said.

"Don't tell me nothing...I know something is wrong." Mom said raising her brow at me.

"Is all of this real?" I asked wanting to cry already.

"Is all what real boo?" Mom asked.

"Norman, Mingus, the house everything." I said. "I mean I can't seem to get a grip on everything let alone reality." I added.

"Honey why would you question it?" Mom asked.

"Because you know how my luck is...and it's not good." I said.

"Honey maybe your luck is finally changing...don't question it. It seems like Norman and Mingus loves you and you seem so happy or are you not happy?" Mom asked as I looked at her.
