The Strange Boy (completed)

Part thirty-four
Ashlyn's POV
When I woke up Ricky had his arm around my waist. I held his hand, and stayed laying down.
His breathing was so calm. He was dreaming. You could honestly tell. He would tighten his grip around my waist, but I didn't mind. I loved it when his grip tightened around me.
He turns over, onto his back. I gently climb on top of his lap, and kiss his neck. He takes a deep breath in, and looks around. When he sees me he smiles.
"Morning beautiful." He greets.
"Morning babe." I reply.
He tries to sit up, but fails. I get off of his lap, and lay back down. I'm facing him, and he's facing me. I look into his beautiful blue green eyes, and smile.
"What?" Ricky asks curiously with a smile.
"Your eyes are so beautiful." I whisper.
He pulls me closer, and kisses my exposed left shoulder. He trails the kisses from my shoulder, up my neck, and to my lips.
We pull back, and I look at the time on my phone. We just made out. We had been kissing for 15 minutes!
I sat up, and struggled to get up, because Ricky would pull me back in, and say "No getting up today. Just you and me. Under the blanket, with each other for the day."
Although this made me smile I still had to go get gifts for everyone. Which meant I had to leave with out Ricky. I hated doing things that Ricky couldn't come along for.
I stayed with him for five more minutes, and got up. He got up as well, and hugs my from behind.
"Why must you go get presents? I mean we have you. That's the perfect gift." He said begging me to stay.
"I only got you one gift, and I still need to get some for the others. I'm going to get a few more things for you, and the guys some gifts." I say back at his plead.
He let out a sarcastic groan of frustration, and tightened his grip. He was so adorable. He just wanted me to stay, but I couldn't.
I pulled down a black dress, and my socks from the masquerade. Ricky handed me his black leather jacket, and looked at me with a smile.
"What?" I asked with a laugh.
"I want you to take my jacket, and wear it. It's cold outside, and I don't want my baby girl to get sick, just before the anti-holidays." He laughed.
I laughed, and took his jacket. I went to the bathroom, after setting my clothes down on the foot of my bed. I did all the things I needed to do in the bathroom, and headed back into my room.
I slipped on my dress, and put on my socks. Ricky was still there so he put the jacket on me.
"Are you going to stay here?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah. Your bed is too comfy to get up, and plus Chris should be home in a few minutes." Right when he said that Chris came into the house.
I ran down stairs, and jumped on Chris. He caught me, and said "Well don't you look nice."
I laughed, and said "Go upstairs. I'm going Christmas shopping for you, Ricky, and the guys."
He nodded, and headed upstairs. Ricky came down, and I talked to him for a minute. He kissed me goodbye, and hugged me tight. I waved good bye, and went outside to the piercing cold weather.
I locked the door, and got to my car. I started it, and drove to the mall. I got to the parking lot, and got out.
I opened the doors, and began to explore. It was still packed. I got to a store, and bought the guys a few things. Then I went to the Mac makeup store, and bought the guys some makeup. 'Such beauty queens' I thought to myself.
I was done at the mall, and then went to the black craft warehouse. I got inside, and browsed a little. I ended up getting all the guys a hoodie, and a shirt. I paid and left.
The drive back home was boring, and lonely, but it was short. I pulled up into the drive way, and got the bags. I ran up to Chris's mom's room, and put the bags there. I texted her telling her I did that, and she said that's fine.
I went back to my room, and as usual Ricky was sleeping. I took off his jacket, and dress, and changed back into my pajamas. I laid down with him, and he stretched. He opened his eyes, and smiled.
"How'd it go?" He asked.
"Fine. You and the guys will love your gifts. Especially you. I got you something pretty cool." I answered.
"Can't wait." He commented.
I snuggled into his chest, and closed my eyes. He was playing with my hair, and that made me fall asleep.
I loved Ricky. He was perfect. Perfect in every single way. I knew for sure if he asked me to marry him, all I had to do was say 'yes' and I would be happy for the rest of my life.
