Chapter 12

February 20th, 2014

“Can I possibly get a massage, your greatness?” I asked Ashton in pain from the workout I just endured. He nodded and pulled me into the room where the other boys were—you guessed it—lounging. “Do you guys ever do anything productive?” I asked with a giggle as Ashton handed and towel and told me to get changed. As I was walking away, I heard Michael shout “nope” and I let out a laugh. Of course not.

I quickly stripped of my sweat work out clothes (I hadn't bothered getting changed) and pulled on my bikini. Then, I met the guys who had apparently decided to come with us, out in the living room.

The way down to the hot tubs and pool was full of ruckus and laughter from the boys. They’ll never fail to amuse me, I swear.

=+=+=+=

“You have no idea how good that feels,”  moaned in appreciation as Ashton worked out the knots in my back.

“Thats what she said,” Luke giggled in his immature way. I rolled my eyes at his childishness and focused on the hot steam coming from the coals in the sauna. 

“That should be the last of it,” Ashton commented while un-straddling me. I sighed at the fact that he was gone.

“What? Does it hurt?” he questioned quickly. I shook my head and placed my cheek on my hand so I could turn my head to face him. “No, but I wish you didn't stop; it felt so damn good,” I moaned again. Before I knew it, he was back on my butt and massaging my back once again.

“Man, Sophia,” Michael started from the other side of the sauna, “You’ve got Ashton whipped. Like, he’s tied around your little finger.”

“No I’m not!” Ashton said while stopping his massage as I said, “No he’s not!”

Much to my disappointment, Ashton climbed back off and I scowled at Michael. “Look at what you’ve done now.”

I groaned that the fact that I just lost the best back massager ever to have walked the earth. After a moment, I looked up at Ashton too see him torn between myself and Michael. Finally with a sigh, he climbed back on and began massaging my back once again. My eyes closed in contentment and the guys laughed at Ashton’s actions.

“My point exactly.”

“I’m sorry if I want my girl to be content,” Ashton grumbled as he delicately worked his hands into my back. My girl? I’m his girl? My heart swelled.

“Oou, your girl? Juicy. Although, not as juicy as what I heard through Ashton’s door the night they slept over,” Calum grinned as the other boys leaned forward. My heart lurched and Ashton stopped massaging my back, once again.

“What?” Luke asked curiously while Ashton and I shot daggers at Calum.

“Oh, Sophia, you don't know what you do to me! I won't be able to contain myself if you sleep in this. I like you so much!” Calum teased. Michael and Luke’s jaws dropped open and I felt myself blushing.

“Oi! I like her, okay? Whats wrong with that?” Ashton said with embarrassment as I laughed. 

“Well, I for one, think it’s extremely cute,” I turned to wink at him. He blushed even further.

“I’m not cute,” he protested, “I’m manly!”

“Look at him, he’s blushing,” Michael cooed.

“No I’m not! It’s the steam from the sauna!”

=+=+=+=

Absolutely exhausted, I flopped myself onto the bed and got changed into my normal pyjamas. Then, I quickly did my bed time routine and set out my skin suit for my final race tomorrow.

Before snuggling into the sheets, I scrolled through my phone a bit, but before I could get anywhere interesting, I heard a strange noise. 

Tick

Tick

Tick

Tick

Groaning, I climbed out of bed and flicked on my bedside light. After looking for a bit, I discovered the ticking was coming from my window. I struggled to get it open, and when I did, I was met with a blast of cold air.

Looking down I saw him.

“Ashton? Erik? What are you doing?” I hissed, checking to make sure I didn't wake my parents. 

“Pretty boy was looking for you and stumbled across me. Quite romantic, if you ask me,” Erik grinned as Ashton smiled brightly at me.

“What do you want, loser?” I chuckled at Ashton as Erik walked away. However, before he could reply, Erik shouted, “No funny business!” 

“Can I come up?” He asked quietly, but loud enough for me to hear.

“You’ll get caught,” I pouted, because I really did want him to come up. Honest truth is that I got better sleeps when he was by my side.

“Not with this. Catch!” He grinned while tossing something at me. I quickly grabbed it and realized it was a rope ladder.

“You’re smart,” I chuckled while letting it down and securing it to the building. Ashton quickly started climbing it and I moved away, letting him climb in. Then, he grabbed the ladder and turned to face me with a smile.

“Hi.”

“Hi.”

“We can’t talk cause the walls are really thin. So let’s just go to bed,” I whispered while beckoning him to the small single bed. He crawled in and I followed suit, snuggling into his chest so that I wouldn't fall off. 

“Wait!” I harshly whispered while jumping off the bed and locking the door and window. Then, I turned off the light and the room was illuminated by Ashton’s phone.

“Hi,” I whispered again while jumping into bed.

“Smile,” he whispered while pointing the back of his phone at me. I grinned as he kissed my forehead while the flash went off. We proceeded to take a couple more cute couple-y pictured before he asked me the question:

“Can I kiss you?”

My breath got suck in my throat before my thought caught up with me. Nodding my head, I closed my eyes and leaned forward, getting ready to experience my first kiss.

I jolted in surprise when his lips touched mine, but his arms held me firmly in place. His lips moulded smoothly against mine and I felt myself unconsciously responding, almost like a sixth sense. I felt my stomach tingle in pleasure until Ashton unwillingly pulled away.

“I won’t be able to handle myself, and you said it yourself that you have thin walls,” Ashton explained while trying to control his breathing. I nodded my head and felt my eyes close as he kissed me all over my face; my eyelids, my forehead, my hair, my cheeks, even my chin and neck. I sighed in contentment as he whispered something that made my heart soar.

“You’re beautiful, Sophia.”

=+=+=+=

Yeah, I know that this was really really short, and I’m sorry for that. But I honestly couldn't think of what else to put. AND this chapter has parts in it that was only supposed to be in the next chapter, but it was too short. 

So sorry.

Ugh, exams will be the death of me. and i have to learn how to speak basic spanish by next saturday (the 1st) and teach myself about a country… awesome. oh well, it will be fun :)
