Tyler woke up to find Ashley mumbling and tossing in her sleep. He turned his head towards her bright red clock which read 2:37 AM, and groaned at the early-ness. When he turned back to Ashley, he saw she was still tossing. He instinctively tightened his grip around her waist, enough to still her but not hurt her, and gently kissed her cheek. The blonde opened her eyes slightly, taking a minute to adjust to her surroundings.

"Hey, you're okay," Tyler whispered to her.

Ashley nuzzled closer to him, putting her head on his strong chest.

He held her as close as he possibly could, wanting her to feel safe from what ever dream she had just had.

"Wanna talk about it?" he asked with the most sincere tone he could muster that early.

She didn't say anything. They laid there in a comfortable silence for a minute, Tyler twirling a lock of her hair around his index finger. Ashley couldn't have felt safer in that moment. It wasn't that her dream was bad in a sense of anything abusive or anything... Just the thought of what she dreamt of happening was scary. The dream had made her realize that she wanted Tyler and only Tyler. She had given up on the two months, she knew that. She knew she wanted Tyler, she had since the minute he spoke to her out by the car. Ryan had never taken that much interest in her and Tyler had within hours of them meeting. Yet, she couldn't ruin what she had with Ryan then. Now, she had nothing to ruin with Ryan, and everything to gain with Tyler.

"You left me..." she mumbled, breaking the silence between them.

"What?" He replied, confusion riddled on his face.

"In my dream. I told you something and you left me..." Ashley told him.

"I would never leave you, Ash. I promise. No matter what you had to tell me," the brunette confessed.

She looked up at him, their eyes meeting, and she decided that it was now or never. She had to tell him.

"I want you, not Ryan. Its always been you, Tyler." Ashley stated boldly, then repositioned herself in Tyler's arms so that she was closer to him.

She propped herself up so that as he laid there, she could be on top of him yet still in his arms.

"Ashley, I-" he started to say before she cut him off.

"I know I should've told you sooner, and it was so bad of me to string you and Ryan along like that, but I know what I want now, and that's you." She admitted.

They boy beneath her smiled and laughed a little, "You didn't let me finish."

"Sorry," she said, nervous of what he might say next.

"What I was going to say was, I want you too. More than you could ever know," he smiled, leaning up and placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

She smiled wide, still partially on top of him as he layed back down on the bed. Ashley cupped his face, bringing her head down next to his so that their foreheads were touching. She moved closer, barely, and connected their lips in an electric kiss that sent shivers down her spine. It was light, delicate, yet passionate. Every fiber of their beings was invested solely in that kiss.

"I think I'm gonna like this," he half-laughed after she pulled away.

She rolled her eyes, yet some part of her wanted to say the same thing. Tyler then kissed her cheek.

"Go back to sleep, it's late," the boy said, yawning.

Ashley smiled and cuddled close to him. Soon enough, the couple fell asleep to the sound of one another's breaths, in the comfort of their arms.
