Ashton's POV
After dinner I had managed to be alone with Kat in our room, following her swiftly after her excusing herself. I even made sure Ben knew to stay clear from our door.
"No interruptions, please." I mutter to him which only causes him to chuckle, flicking through the channels.
"I won't, unless it's necessary." He says and I nod. What a guy.
Kat walks out of our closet, shirtless when I enter, so I shut the door quickly. Hopefully not too quickly.
"Stop staring, weirdo." She mumbles as she changes into some pajamas, and by pajamas I mean one of my shirts she stole and no pants. How beautiful.
"You know I can't help it, your just so breathtaking." I reply, a smirk on my face knowing she'll blush at the comment.
She does, almost instantly.
"Breathtaking, huh? That's a new one." She chuckles, nodding at me proudly. I nod at her, walking over to my dresser to change out of my clothes.
Kat watches me from the bed, but every time I make contact with her she looks down at her hands as if she wasn't just ogling me.
"Stare, it's okay, I like the attention." I tell her jokingly and she giggles, raising a brow.
"You do, don't you."
I nod, winking at her as I throw my clothes into our hamper, tossing another shirt on for bed.
She sighs tiredly from the bed, digging herself under the covers by the time I'm climbing in beside her.
It was still early but we haven't spent much time together - and we won't be for a couple days since I have to do so much at work.
My hand goes to her waist, as if on cue, and I pull her closer. It's a ritual of mine, something I take pride in. I very much enjoy having her body extremely close to mine in bed, it makes me feel better in general and I'm sure it does the same for her, but she'll probably never fully admit it.
"I never got to ask what you got promoted to." I break the silence we were laying in, she looks up at me, lifting her head to have her arm under it, so she's propped up a little.
"Head designer." She says stifling her grin, I know she's excited about it. Fuck, I'm excited about it.
"Sounds super cool," I tell her and she nods with a chuckle, "What do you do exactly?" I ask, I didn't know what BW did exactly... I knew they were some type of social - networking type company. Hipster galore.
"Uh," she says trying to think of tasks, her eyes widen and suddenly she's jumping out of bed and towards her purse where she takes out a manilla folder.
"Nathan gave me all these papers and I have yet to read them, and I probably should since I'm head designer tomorrow morning." She says climbing back into bed, this time sitting crisscross beside me, the folder in her lap.
I chuckle, watching as she flips through all the papers, her eyes scanning all the information.
"Head Designer has the ability to shut down any project that is deemed ineffective, as well as directing staff towards projects made by director." Kat reads the description and beams afterwards.
"I'm going to be a fucking boss!" She says excitedly, her teeth sinking into her lip adorably and I can't help but chuckle.
"Damn right you are."
Kat chuckles and continues to silently read the papers.
"Two weeks." Kat mumbles as she reads and I raise a brow, waiting for her to explain.
"My trip to Hawaii is in two weeks." She says raising her head, finally looking away from the papers.
"Hawaii?" I ask a bit confused, why was she going to Hawaii?
"There's a weekend seminar in Hawaii, Nathan said I'm going." She explains and I nod, that's pretty fucking cool.
"Sweet, are you going alone?" I ask with genuine curiosity. I don't want her traveling alone to a place so far but it'd also kind of bother me if she and Nathan went alone, I know they're two professional adults but that's pushing a boundary - I think so anyways.
"I'm trying to find that out right now..." She mumbles as she scans the papers, determination on her face.
"My new 'team members' will be going as well as Nathan, I'd assume. But it says here I can have a plus one." She says lifting her eyes to mine, is she asking me to go? I hope so.
"That's cool, you said in two weeks?" I ask, scratching at my head. If I fix everything this week, and get ahead for next week I should be able to take the days off and go, hopefully.
She nods, a hopeful expression on her face.
"I'm sure I can take the days off and go." I assure her and she nods, an excited smile on her face.
"Gosh, I'm so excited!" She squeals, leaning down to peck my lips multiple times.
I smile into the kiss, putting my hand behind her head before she could pull away.
I'm quickly reminded with the fact that she has yet to bring up my dyslexia... Did she not care? Was she not making a big deal out of it? I was sure as hell to not bring it up as long as she didn't, I didn't want that discussion to be brought up anytime soon.
"I love you." I tell her, hoping to distract my anxious thoughts.
"I love you too, Ash."

Super short chapter but I've been super crazy busy this week! I've been trying to catch up on sleep too because my schedule is shit right now but don't worry! I'm still writing!
