My Best Friend

(4)

I wake up and my head is throbbing. I drank so much last night to distract myself from the creep. Now I'm going to suffer a horrific hangover. I look around and see I'm on Ashton's sofa and he is on the floor below me. I can see Niall on the other sofa and a few other people on the floor near him. I groan as I try to sit up but just find myself feeling sick. I drop my head back down and stare at the ceiling for a while.

After I'm bored of that I go on my phone to find a load of photos and videos of last night. I start looking through them to try and work out what happened because I don't remember a lot of it. I come across a video which looks like Niall is singing to everyone so I turn up the volume interested in what it sounds like.

Turns out, Niall is a very good singer and by the end Ashton joins in and so is he. Why did neither if these boys tell me they could sing? Honestly if I could sing I would be announcing it to the world through a megaphone. Sometimes I can't understand boys, why would you keep a talent like this a secret?

Once my head has calmed down I get up and go to the bathroom to use the toilet and improve my face which currently makes me look dead. My hair is also everywhere and I get a brush out of my bag and start untangling the mess.

Once I am done I leave the bathroom and find Niall eating in the kitchen so I join him.

"Hey" he says in a croaky voice.

"Morning" I say. "Do you remember anything from last night?" I ask him as I pour myself a bowl of cereal.

"Nothing. Do you?" He replies.

"No but I found some stuff on my phone do you want to see?" I ask him and he nods and comes to stand over my shoulder to see the screen.

We flick through a load of pictures laughing at most of them then when we get the singing video Niall's jaw drops.

"I sang in front of people?" He asks shocked.

"Yeah, why didn't you ever tell me you were this good?" I ask him.

"I can't sing in front of people" he says simply.

"Aw is ickle Niall shy?" I tease in a baby voice.

"Shhh" he says and plays the rest of the video.

With perfect timing Ashton walks into the room just as he's about to sing on the video. Can I add his bed hair is very hot. He stops in his tracks when he hears his voice.

"Wow I can't even remember that." He says in a sexy morning voice laughing at himself.

"You're both really good" I say seriously. "How come neither of you have told me?"

I know Niall's reason so I turn to Ashton. "I prefer to play drums, I'm pretty good at it actually." At that my mouth drops. I like drummers.

"Why do boys not show off their talents, why are they so secretive" I say to myself as I dig in to a bowl of cereal.

Once I have finished my breakfast I go back into the living room to collect all my belongings. I feel my pone vibrate in my pocket and I see its another stalker text.

'Morning beautiful x'

I really hate this. Why can he leave me alone. I put all of my things in my bag and return to the kitchen with the boys. I don't want to be alone.

"Why do you look like you've jut seen a ghost?" Ash asks me.

"I feel sick, it's just my hangover" I say pleased with my excuse. They accept it and return to what they were doing.

"Would you guys mind staying and helping me tidy up?" Ashton asks me and Niall. "My parents come home in a few hours and it needs to be all cleaned up, you don't have too though"

"Yeah ill stay" I say nodding. I hate cleaning but to be honest, I just like spending time with Ashton since last night, I'm looking at the boy completely differently now.

"Yeah cool" Niall says without looking up as he types furiously on his phone.

The other 3 people that slept over at Ashton's house, Reece, Maya and Rowan have now woke up and are searching the cupboards for something to eat. Once Reece has got what he wants he comes and sits next to me.

"You and Ashton last night eh?" He says nudging me.

"What are you on about now?" I ask him groaning.

"You two couldn't be separated. You were making out almost the whole night" he says winking at me. A rush if heat goes through my body at the thought of that however I honestly can't remember any if this.

"Are you serious?" I ask him. He sometimes says things like this because he thinks it's funny. He can be a dick like that.

"I'm not joking you were" he says. "You can't remember anything?" He asks.

"Nothing" I say looking down and he just laughs at me. I wonder if Ash remembers.

-----------------

We've finally got the whole house tidied up and Niall has just left. Only me and Ashton remain.

"Reece was telling me things that happened last night" I start. "Do you remember anything?"

"No what was he saying?" He says.

"Well according to him we were making out most the night and couldn't be separated." I say as I laugh awkwardly.

"Oh really?" He asks sliding his hand round my waist and pulling me closer. I just nod not knowing what else to do. "How do you feel about that?" He asks.

"I don't know" I say truthfully. I am starting to like Ashton as more than a friend but I'm still not sure.

"Well I really like you, but you already know that" he states. He has gained a lot of confidence recently and I have no idea where it's coming from.

I put my hands on his shoulders and kiss him gently. "I might like you too" I say very quietly. I am awful at talking about feelings and things like that. But since he already likes me it's a little easier. A huge grin spreads all across his face.

"Really?"

"Hmm well yeah maybe..." I trail off looking at the floor. I find this very embarrassing but he is completely comfortable. At my words he pushes me a few steps back so I am against the wall. His hands are either side of my head and he is leaving kisses all up my neck making his way to my lips. After a few short moments they meet in a very forceful kiss and his hands make their way down to my waist exploring my body.
