10 Days//A.I. (Book 4)

*Day 4*

Kinsley's POV

"Hey so...I met someone yesterday." I said to Ashton.

"Oh. Who?"

We're laying in bed and his arm is still wrapped around my waist, his breath tickling my neck.

"This girl Whitney. she's got another group of friends in here."

"Wow that's cool...I personally think we should stay on our own." he mumbles.

"Me too, I just wanted to let you know. Just in case we ran into them. So you don't kill anyone."

"Um thanks. but I got this on my own.."

"I'm sorry..I was trying to help." I whisper.

"Well you're not helping."

"Um well I'm gonna go get a shower then." I say, sighing and gathering my shower things and heading upstairs, sneaking down the halls, and going into the gym.

I place all my things in the locker room and then go into the workout room and start running on the treadmill and then stretch.

As I'm stretching, Ashton walks in and sits next to me.

I gasp. "you scared me." I breathe.

"You know I didn't mean to hurt you, right?"

"I know." I look into his eyes.

"I'm just very protective over you. I don't want to lose you. I couldn't deal with that."

I smile. "I get it, me neither. Apology accepted."

"Good." he smiles lightly.

We stare into each other's eyes, and slowly we both lean in.

My eyes had just shut when suddenly he pulls away.

He pulls me up and says "let's shower."

I take a shower first while Ashton guards.

I'm in the middle of washing my body when Ashton bursts through the curtain of my shower with all our bags and turns off the water, placing his hand over my mouth to prevent me from screaming.

I stare at him wide-eyed.

What the hell is going on?!

He shakes his head no as if to say "don't say a word" and closes his eyes, trying to slow his breathing.

He opens his eyes and I'm cuddled up against him, scared out of my mind.

He runs circles on my back and quickly realizes I'm naked at the moment.

His eyes widen momentarily.

'fûck' he mumbles quietly, looking down at my body.

I cover up, and he looks back into my eyes, staring intently into them as if they're the most beautiful thing in the world.

"sorry.." he says softly.

I just nod.

Ashton looks outside to see if the coast is clear, and once it is he gets out and tells me to finish.

Then he gets his shower, we dry off, get changed and head to the cafeteria carefully.

We cook leftover pizza in the crappy ovens and have a nice, healthy, dinner.

He apologised for earlier and complimented me on my body at least 4 times.

Then we climbed back downstairs, and talked for a while.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask him, noticing he's zoned out for a few minutes.

"How much I care about you." he says like it means nothing.

I smile instantly.

"I care about you too." I say.

"Come here." he says and pulls me into his lap so I'm facing him, and then wraps his arms around me in a hug.

"What's going to happen after this Ashton?"

"I don't know, princess. but I sure hope we're still friends."

I don't know why, but a little part of me crashed when he said "friends".

"Yeah, me too. I really hope we'll stay friends." I sigh.

"We will. I just know we will." he says, soothingly rubbing my back.

"okay. goodnight ash."

"goodnight Kins."

we lay down and he wraps his arms around my waist once again, trapping me in his arms.

I can feel his heart beating fast against my back, and his breath down my neck, but it's not weird or creepy, somehow it's soothing.

I literally don't even know how I'm feeling right now. about him.

hey!
