"I'm really excited for you to come over tonight Rach." Your boy friend Ashton says as he intertwined your fingers together. You walk along the empty sidewalk on your way to his apartment. You had been together for a few months and Ashton had invited you to a movie night at his place tonight.
He fiddled withhis keys until he found the right one for his apartment door lock. He gave you a smile as he opened tthe door wider and you stepped inside.
Ash flipped on the lights to reveal a small but nicely furnished loft style apartment. It fit him. The smell of cologne that belonged to Ashton hung in the air. You took a deep breath of it, as it is one of your favorite smells.
You ran a hand along the wall as you looked at all the pictures hung up on the wall. There were several of his family and some of Michael, Luke, and Calum, Ashtons closest friends. They were in a small band together. They played mostly garage gigs and a few at bars or small theaters. They all had talent but the band hadn't completely taken off yet. Ashton plays the drums in the band.
"So we have those to choose from." Ashton's voice called you out of your busy thoughts.
"Baby? Were you even listening?" He asks you. He comes over and wraps his long arms around your waist and kisses your forehead.
"Sorry Ashton. could you tell me the movie choices again please?" You smile and peck his lips. He nodded and told you.
You settled on a film and cuddled on the couch to watch it. About half way through, the power went out due to a storm.
"Shit." Ashton mutters. You tense up slightly.
"I guess I will head home." You say quietly as you begin to gather your things. But Ashton's hand on your arm stops you.
"Rachel don't be silly. I cant let you go out in this storm! You can stay the night." He smiles and squeezes your hand. Your eyes widen a bit at the thought of staying the night. You had dreaded the day when you would have to tell Ashton your little secret.
You suffered from Insomnia.
You thought quickly. If you just slept on the couch Ashton wouldn't have to find out yet...
"Okay... Ill stay in here." you flash him your most convincing smile but he wont buy it. He takes your hand and shakes his head as he leads you down the hall to his room. Yous stand by the door way as he grabs some clothes for you to borrow of his. He hands you a pair of sweats and a Fender teeshirt.
"You can change in the bathroom and come back out to bed when you are rready yeah?" He says smiling. You nod and get changed. You come back out and climb into bed slowly. You had the sweats and you were shaking slightly. What if he thought you were some kind of freak.
To your fear, Ashton noticed your intensity. You tossed and turned a lot. And if you did sleep, it didn't last.
"Rachel, what's going on?" Ashton's voice fills the room suddenly. That's when you break down.
"Oh Ash. I'm so sorry. I have insomnia." You sniffle. Ashton only pulls you into his warm embrace.
"Hey Rach babe, why didn't you tell me? Its okay." He says softly.
"I thought you would think I'm some sort of freak." You whisper. He chuckles slightly.
"I could never think that about you. You want me to read to yoh for a while?" He asks you. immediately you have a flood of relief. . You nod to him and his pulls out his phone and shines the flashlight on the pages of a book he was reading since the lights were still out.
"I fell in love with the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once."
Ashton was perfect and you loved him with all your heart.
