Ashton's POV
I can't quite put into words how much I love this woman led next to me. Wearing nothing but a smile she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I only have eyes for her.
We had 1 hour left until we had to be at the party. We had been cuddling in bed in a comfortable silence for about 20 minutes. She got up and pulled on my T-shirt, I didn't want to move.
'Where are you going? Please come back to bed' I pleaded with her.
'We have to get ready for this party' she stated. I pulled a pillow over my head in refusal, she pulled it off of my head and I saw she was standing up. She started jumping up and down in an attempt to get me up. Her attempts failed as I tackled her on the bed and started to tickle her.
'No stop, please stop' she laughed in pain. I stopped and pulled her into my arms.
'I love you so much' I say affectionately.
'I love you more' she replies smiling cheekily.
'Not possible' I smile back.
Aria's POV
We led there for a few more minutes tangled in each other's arms.
'Come on, we are going to be late' I said, getting up and grabbing my make up bag. I sat outside on the balcony, still wearing Ashton's t-shirt, and started putting on my make up. While I done this Ashton went and had a shower.
About half an hour later we were both ready to leave. We headed out of the hotel and got in Ashton's car.
'So, there is this singing competition being held at the venue where we are going. We were thinking about entering seem as we aren't as well known out here, yet. However we want you to sing with us.' Ashton chuckled, cautiously watching my reaction.
'Why?' I asked.
'Because you are an incredible singer Aria. Nobody knows you out here but us, so its not like you'd have to hide yourself from anyone. It's not like you need to anyway. Please, we'd really like it if you would sing with us?' Ashton begged.
'I'm not sure, what do we need to do?' I questioned hesitantly.
'Well the competition is Sunday night. All we need to do is write a song and perform it in front of the judges. It has to be a song we wrote, that nobody has heard. You need your own band. You'll be the singer. We'll do back up vocals and you obviously have us as your band.' He finished putting on his best puppy dog face.
'Fine, but I want you to sing with me.' I said giving in to his cuteness.
'I suppose I could teach Luke a drum part! Once we've written the song' he replied, as we pulled up outside the venue.
Ashton's POV
We walked into the venue, which was in downtown L.A. We were instantly me by Calum and Nia, who were positioned at the door awaiting everyone's arrival.
'The party can now start! Ash has arrived' Calum shouted over the music, while fist bumping me. He then noticed Aria and pulled her into a hug.
'Aria! How are you?' Calum slurred.
'Not too bad thanks Cal, and yourself? Did you start drinking early by any chance?' She chuckled.
'You know it!' He replied, walking off to find the others. I grabbed Aria's hand and followed him. We rounded the corner and found Michael standing chatting to some people from management, while Crystal and Arzaylea were sat down laughing between themselves about something. Luke was at the bar with John getting a round in.
'Hey you two, where have you been?' Michael joked.
'What are you talking about? We are on time, with five minutes to spare may I add.' Ashton retorted.
'I know, I just really wanted to wind you up. Plus for once even Cal was early' Michael laughed.
(1 hour later)
'Ash? What are you two having? I'm getting the next round in' John shouted in my ear over the loud music. I looked over to Aria who was deep in conversation with Michael.
'I think we're going to make a move in a minute if I'm honest mate, but here have this round on me' I said, getting my wallet out and handing John some money.
I tried to call Aria over but the music was too loud and she couldn't hear me. I gave up and explained to Luke how Aria had agreed to sing at the singing competition with us. He was ecstatic, even when I said she wanted me to sing with her.
Aria's POV
We had been at the party for about an hour and a half. I had been enjoying myself but I hadn't got to spend much time with Ashton. I had been stood talking to Michael about the singing competition and he was trying to reassure me that everything would be fine. He was really excited that I'd agreed to do it. I on the other hand was feeling very nervous. Why had I agreed to it. All of a sudden I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
'Hey baby Girl, I was calling you to come over.' Ashton whispered in my ear.
'I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you' I say apologetically.
'Fancy making a move' Ashton asked.
'Sounds like a good idea' I replied smiling. Michael looked a little uncomfortable so he walked away to find Crystal. We snuck out of the party, got into the car Ashton had rented and just drove. Neither of us knew where we were going, we just wanted to find somewhere where we could be alone together. No distractions. Just me and Ashton.
