Hidden- An Ashton Irwin Fanfic

Chapter 20- Cuddles && Covers

Following closely behind the nine boys, I walk out of the dark club feeling exhausted. The time on my phone says 4 am on the dot, which is way later than I had hoped to be out. As we exit the building, we're met by paparazzi and drunk couples. Michael being the closest to me, he protectively pulls me closer to the group.

"Harry, are you single again?" One man shouts.

"Liam, how's rehearsals going?" A woman casually yells at him.

"Who's the lady hanging with your opening act?" A man directs his question towards Zayn, wanting every little detail on the group in front of him.

The atmosphere is crowded and fatigue is taking over. I snuggle into Michael's side and stay as close to the other boys as I can. Security has started to help us through, and a narrow path has been made for us to walk down. I let out a grateful sigh as the car we came in pulls up to the curb. I frown a little as I realize that it's reserved for the infamous One Direction, and that we have to wait for the next one to come around.

Fed up, I whine at Michael, "Can't we just walk?"

"In this crowd?" He looks down at me, chuckling.

I groan as I realize how stuck we are. The other three boys crowd around me as well, their protective, big brother instincts kicking in. I glance at Ashton and he gives my hand a tight squeeze before watching for our car. Thankfully, it pulls up seconds later.

As quickly as possible, security shoves us into the Range Rover. We speed away from the crowd and I relax a little.

"Are you sure you guys want all that? If you keep this up those people will be on your backs just as much as the other guys'." I mumble, tucking my feet in and curling up.

"Yep, I'm positive." Calum nods as his always cheerful aura shows.

We enter the alley behind our hotel, and just as hastily as before, we're lead to the back doors. This time Ashton is the one closest to me, and I instinctively get close to him.

The elevator ride to our floor is quiet. Before I know it I entering my room, but not before I'm stopped.

"Change into pj's and I'll be over here in ten." Ashton kisses my cheek, leaving me before I can object.

If tonight wasn't our last night here I would tell him I'm going to bed, but I guess I can make an exception.

I change and wash the makeup off my face, and right at the ten minute mark there's a knock on my door. I open it to find Ashton in his Incredible Hulk pajama pants and a gray hoodie.

"Grab your room key, we're going on a quick adventure." He directs.

Doing as he says I grab the rectangular key of the desk and follow him to the vending machines. He buys a few candy bars and two cans of Pepsi before bringing me to the elevator.

"So where are we going again?" I rub my eyes, watching him click the button that leads to the top floor.

"I figured we can spend our last night a little more romantically then our past ones. Sure, we'll have a few weeks together when we get back, but go big or go home, right? In this case we're doing both." He grins at his attempt to joke.

I take in how breathtaking he looks. Even in his pajamas, this guy was attractive. One of his arms was gripping the snacks to his chest, while the other slickly runs through his curls. I smile at how he tries to move a certain curl out of his eyes, and it gets to the point where he's clearly annoyed.

"What are you staring at?" He asks, still concentrated on his hair.

"You." I smile, hearing the ding of the elevator and walking out.

He leads me to the emergency stairs and we go up a flight to the roof. Once we're on it, I catch a glimpse of the city of London before my eyes land on a bed of blankets and pillows.

"Did you do this?" I ask, clearly surprised.

"Yeah, I set it up before we left... with Luke's help."

"It's so cute. I feel like I'm in a movie." I giggle, sitting down on the inflatable mattress.

"I'm glad you like it." He replies, tossing the food on the bed and walking to a table behind us.

"What's that?"

"You'll see." He nods.

A few seconds later the wall in front of us is coated in white light before a movie starts to play.

"You brought a projector up here?" I asks giddily. "Where do you even find one?"

"I have my ways." He smirks, coming and sitting down next to me.

He leans against the wall of pillows behind us, and I lay my head against his shoulder. After wrapping his arm around me, he grabs a candy bar and takes a bite out of it. I try and keep my eyes open to take in the movie in front of me, but before I can stop it I'm drifting off to sleep.
