ASLEEP // A DOVE AND RYAN FAN FICTION.

Chapter 23// The morning after.

Ryan's POV

It was the day before the wedding.
I had just gotten back from Colton's.
Luckily the girls were still asleep.
I didn't want Chloe to see me in the state I was in.
My hair was messed up and the bags under my eyes were so big they could carry groceries.

The cut on my forehead had healed a little over night, and by healed, I mean it had stopped bleeding.

But I still had a large bump on my head.
I walked into the kitchen, to the refrigerator, and opened the freezer.

I took out a pack of ice blocks and pressed them against my head.
I sighed.
It felt slightly better.
But not much.

I didn't want to look like a hobo in front of my wife to be and her best friends, so I brushed my hair and washed my face.
I changed quickly out of my clothes which smelt of beer, and put on a tank top and some shorts.

They were luckily in the clean laundry pile so I didn't need to quietly sneak into my bedroom and not so quietly wake the girls up.

I sat on the couch, and turned the TV on.
I rolled my eyes.
Chloe and the girls must have been watching chic flicks because the first thing that showed up on the screen was a rose.
Some guy was holding it and a woman with nice..with a nice chin took them from him.
I was about to turn it off when she punched him in the face, sending him flying backwards and hitting his head.
Well..I didn't think something like that would happen.
Then she grabbed him by the scruff of the neck, and throw kicked him.
He landed in the neighbors garden.
I couldn't help but chuckle a little.

A few minutes later, when I was really getting into the movie, I heard footsteps coming from upstairs.

"I'll be right back, I thought I..Ryan!"
It was Jess.
"Hey, where's Chlo?!" I asked, giving her a hug.
I hadn't seen her in months.
"Sleeping"
I rolled my eyes.
"That's all she does" I chuckle.
"Really!? Cause we found your undies in the bed!" She said, crossing her arms and raising her eyebrow.

"Hey, it's our house, our rules! " I laughed.
"So, how've you been!? How was the honeymoon, the last time I saw you was at the wedding"
She smiled at me.
"It was great, we went to Italy..I heard you were going to..Ireland..!?" She asked, seeming curious.
"Yeah.." I laughed nervously, scratching my neck.
"Do you want me to get Chloe or..?!" She asked, putting one foot on a step.
"No, it's fine, she needs all the sleep she can get..tomorrow's gonna be a...ha..busy day.." I answered, feeling my insides sweat.
"Alright..well, I'll see ya.."she said happily, before running back up the stairs to the rest of the girls.
I smiled to myself, then plopped myself back down on the couch.
I really did want to see Chloe, but I didn't want to wake her up, I know how cranky she gets if you wake her up too early.

DOVE'S POV:

I rolled over in my bed.
All the girls were awake but Victoria, who was drooling into My pillow.
I was sleeping on Ryan's side of the bed.

I felt someone shake me.
"Hey, Chloe, Ryan's here!" It was Jess.
I yawned, stretched, and rolled out of the bed onto the floor.

"Crap.." I mumbled, rubbing my side.
"I probably shouldn't do that again.."

I trudged downstairs to see Ryan watching the TV.
He was watching the movie we had put on the night before.
We thought it was kind of boring so we just turned the TV off and went upstairs.

He turned around when he heard my footsteps.
"Hey Chlopop!" He said, standing up, walking over, and hugging me.
I hugged back. Pecking his neck in the process.
We pulled apart, he closed his eyes and pouted his lips for a kiss.
