-sydney's pov-
i awoke to a soft poke on my shoulder and soft, gentle yet sexy voice calling out my name.
"syd? the soup's ready. drink it while it's still hot." he smiled to me.
i nodded softly and smiled back at him, sitting up on the couch.
i could see ashton with an eyebrow raised looking at me as i took a sip of his soup.
"mm! ash this is really good!"
"hehe thank you. i always prepare this soup for the boys when they get sick." he replied, giggling.
i noticed that his hair was slightly damp, he was still shirtless and his denim shorts were also slightly damp. he was taking care of me he totally forgotten to change out of his beach clothes. i immediately stop drinking the soup.
"ash!! im so so sorry. you were too busy taking care of me you totally did not change out of your so soaking clothes! you have to change or you'll get a cold."
"syd relax, im totally fine. and please don't feel that way, i love taking care of you." he smiled at me, reassuringly.
this man can make me go speechless with the charming vocabulary of his.
"well alright.. but you still have to change your clothes. wait here, i'll try to find something." i placed the bowl of soup down and ran to my room, while sneezing.
i rummaged through my closet to find an oversized hoodie and the largest sweatpants that i owned.
i ran back out to the living room and saw ashton innocently looking around the room, softly humming. he was adorable.
"ash! here. im not sure if they'll fit you but go try them on!" i gave the clothes to Ashton.
"thanks." he said before heading to my room with my clothes.
as I continued sipping on my phenomenally delicious soup, i heard the door open. ashton was done changing.
oh boy. he looked pretty ridiculous. the 'oversized' hoodie was hugging his body so tightly that if he had a full meal, it might burst open and the 'largest' sweatpants that i owned was so short that it reached down to his knees.
he strutted down the living room, pretending to be a model as he did some poses.
"how do I look syd?"
by the time he asked, i was already in tears. I was laughing hysterically.
"oh my gosh, not what I'd expected, you look great."
"well im glad that you're feeling better now." ash said, sitting back down on the couch.
"me to- ACHOO."
we looked at each other and burst out laughing.
after dinner, we decided to have a normal cozy night since i wasn't feeling that well.
"what do you want to do now syd?"
"ermmm, can we watch Alvin and the Chipmunks; The Road Chip?"
"oh my gosh, I've been dying to watch that, thank you syd." he happily skipped over the tv to select the movie.
"i'll quickly prepare one of those bagged popcorn real quick!" i called out to ash, heading to the kitchen.
I grabbed a slightly salted flavored bag of popcorn from my pantry and placed it into the microwave as i poured chocolate milk into two tall glasses.
after all the corn kernels popped in the bag, i poured it out into a huge bowl, and placed it onto a tray together with the milk glasses so that i could bring them to the living room in one go.
when i went out i saw ash already at his comfortable spot on the couch.
"here ya go."
"thanks."
after giving him his glass of chocolate milk, i didn't where to lay on the couch really.
i didn't know if we were close enough that i could cuddle with him or should i leave some distance and just lay there by myself?
my spot was chosen when ash patted the seat directly beside him.
i smiled at him, slightly embarrassed and laid down beside him.
he slung one of his arms around my neck and placed it on my shoulder, making me go deeper into his arms and chest. we were now basically laying on the couch together, cuddling, sharing a throw blanket together.
"syd are you alright in this position? i can totally sit up if you want me too."
i smiled at how caring he was, "it's perfect ash."
