I MISS YOU

Chapter 9

My eyes fluttered open, the sunlight spilling over me, almost blinding me. I laid on the ground, my head against the log. Had I been there all night? I looked around, Ashton was walking out the tent. His eyes fell on me, hurt and pain twisted in them.

I felt a tiny throb in my heart. "Ashton..." I began, but he cut me off. "If your so miserable, you can leave today if you want." He said, his voice was cold, his words pausing me to place. "No.. I would never want that. I'm nit miserable." I said, I felt all these mixed emotions.

He breathed in. "Then why won't you marry me?" He asked, memories from last night ripping at my heart. "I do Ashton, that wasn't me. The other night... It was as if I had no control over my own body.I love you, I want to marry you."I said, and he placed his finger to my lips, stopping me before I could say any more.

Ashton stared at me, I knew he was confused, almost as if everything we had experienced had been only a dream. I threw my arms around his neck, and let tears spill over my eyes. Ashton confused, held me tight against him. I could feel my heart pounding with fear and love for him.

"Please, Ashton... I want to marry you... I do..."I sobbed, trying to make him believe me. His arms stayed wrapped around my waist, I heard him mumble something to low for me to hear, before he placed his lips on mine. I felt all the tenseness built inside me vanish. He slowly pulled away, staring me in the eyes.

Something was different....they were BLUE! "Ashton?" I asked, placing my hand on his cheek. He looked at me, not saying one word. A smile stretched across his face as he pushed me into the sand. "What the hell!" I screamed, standing up quickly.

"Yes, hell, that's the question..isn't it babe, need a guide?" He asked, his voice was hoarse and raspy. I felt my breath hitch in my thought as his body fell to my feet..
