Aria's POV
I felt like a part of me was missing when he wasn't around. I couldn't be myself. I couldn't eat or sleep properly, knowing that he wasn't next to me or a few minutes down the road. Sometimes I lay there at night in his jacket, crying, wanting him to come home. Just wanting to feel his strong arms wrapped around me. To me being in his arms was the safest place in the world. I felt like nothing bad could happen while I was in those arms. We skyped and spoke on the phone often, I loved hearing that accent of his on the other end of the phone.
The time between Ashton leaving to get on the plane at Heathrow and me getting off the plane at LAX seemed to drag. Finally the day had arrived and I had just got off the plane at LAX with Luke, Calum and Michael's girlfriend in tow. I could already see Ashton impatiently pacing and the others trying to calm him down. I wanted to yell but I knew he wouldn't be able to hear me. I had my ticket checked and was let through the arrival gates. Ashton suddenly looked up and saw me. 

'Go get him girl' Crystal encouraged. They all knew how difficult I had found the past two weeks.


Crystal, Nia and Arzaylea had spent quite a bit of time with me over the past two weeks. We had become quite close. I have a feeling Calum might have had something to do with it. Nia was his girlfriend and as I had never met any of them before the guys left for America, it would make sense that Ashton may have asked Calum to ask Nia to keep me company. I didn't mind though, they were really lovely girls.


Ashton ran towards me and I to him. He lifted me up and kissed me passionately. 

'I've missed you so much' I cried, tears of happiness falling down my face. I felt a little daft for crying but then I noticed he was crying too. 

'I love you' he mumbled into my hair affectionately. 

'I love you too' I whispered back, smiling happily.



Ashton's POV
I was so happy to have her back in my arms. We had only been going out for about a 3 months but we had this unexplainable connection. We understood what each other had been through but we wouldn't dwell on the past. 

'Come one, let's get out of here. The guys said they'd meet us back at the hotel.' I said happily, placing my hand in hers and intertwining out fingers.

I had loaned a car for the weekend so that we didn't have to rely on the busy public transport. I carried her luggage to the car and put it in the boot. We headed straight to the hotel. It seemed like the long plane journey and the fact she hadn't got an awful lot of sleep over the last day had tired Aria out. She fell asleep in the car, it was about an hours drive to the hotel from the airport. She woke up just as I had parked the car. 

'Hello beautiful' I smiled. 

'Shit, i'm so sorry.' She said apologetically. 

'Don't be, I know you must be shattered. Come on let's find you somewhere more comfortable' I chuckled.

I lead her into the hotel and showed her up to our room. 

'This is so beautiful' she commented, as she looked around the room and at the view outside the window, where there was a balcony. 

'I think I've got the better view' I said cheesily. She blushed, I could feel the heat coming from her cheeks as I wrapped my arms around her from behind.



Arias POV
I turned around in his arms and kissed him. I put more force into the kiss and his hands travelled down to my bum. He squeezed it causing me to moan, allowing his tongue access. He pulled out of the sloppy kiss, both of us breathless. 

'We have to be at a party in 2 hours.' he said, slightly ruining the mood. 

'I thought this was your weekend off?' I questioned. 

'It was meant to be, but management is going to be there and we've been told we have to be there too. We don't have to stay for too long, we can just show our faces. We also have to go to the studio for a few hours tomorrow morning, to finally record the new song. The guys and I were hoping you'd come too' Ashton replied guiltily. 

'I'd love too, that still gives us plenty of time' I smiled cheekily.


Ashton pulled my top over my head and I done the same with his and then he reconnected his lips to mine. I took off my jeans and he did the same with his own. He guided me backwards to the bed but before he could do anything else I spun over so I was on top. He seemed to like the fact that I was dominating. It was only the second time we'd ever done anything like this and I wanted to show him how much he meant to me, liked he had done with me the first time.
