I wake, puzzled by the feeling of someone's presence behind me. I look over and find Lilah, cuddled up under our comforter. I'm not used to her being beside me, since our break, but I'm glad she is back in my arms, and not Luke's.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that she found someone who was there for her in a time of need, but I'm happy that I can be that guy she wants to be with. I will be the boyfriend I wasn't before.
I slip from under the covers and onto the floor. I find a pair of sweat pants, a tank top, and my beanie for my awful hair day and head into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee for Lilah and me.
I hear groaning coming from the bedroom, and I walk in there to see my love wake up.
I tip toe into the room and whisper, "Good morning, Lilah."
She groans and turns to face me. She smiles. "Morning Ashton."
"How'd you sleep?" I ask while sittng down on the bed.
"Perfectly next to you."
I lean down to kiss her lips. She smiles into the kiss and breaks it.
"Is that..." She pauses. "French vanilla coffee?"
"Your favorite. How'd you guess that so quickly?"
"I'm a coffee blood hound, Ashton. I can smell coffee from up to 20 feet away." She says while getting out of bed.
I laugh and take her hand in mine, leading her into the kitchen to get her a cup of coffee. I retrieve two coffee cups from the cupboard and set them down on the counter. I pour us the coffee and put some cream and sugar in as well. I hand her the coffee, and she smiles.
"Thank you, Ashton."
"You're welcome, Princess." I take a sip of the coffee and smile, remembering the first time I had ever had it with Lilah.
It was the first morning in the appartment together. She had the coffee and it lingered throughout the appartment, waking me up and bringing me forth to the kitchen to find her in my boxers and tee shirt, like she currently is now.
She looks up at me, with a confused smile on her face. "What are you smliling at?"
"Just thinking about the first time I ever had this coffee, and the first time waking up to you in my boxers and tee shirt for the first time in this appartment." I respond to her.
She thinks for a minute, and smiles at the thought of that memory.
"That is by far my favorite memory I've had with you." I say to her.
"Aww, Ashton." She smiles and walks over to where I was standing to kiss my cheek.
I feel my cheeks start to burn and I could tell I was blushing, I don't blush.
"So, I texted Luke, telling him that we'd be by around 1 to pick up my stuff." She says while taking a sip from her coffee.
"Okay, that's fine." I respond while putting my cup in the sink.
She nods and gets up to put her cup in the sink as well.
"I'm going to take a shower and then we can do whatever until we have to go to Luke's." She says.
I nod and she walks into the bathroom and starts the water up.
I begin to wash the dishes in the sink when my phone starts to ring in the bedroom. I dry my hands and run into the bedroom to answer my phone. I look at the caller ID and it's Michael.
"Hey mate, what's up?" He says.
"Nothing, trying to do the dishes while Lilah is in the shower." I respond.
"Lilah? I thought you two broke up?"
"No, man, we got back together."
"Oh, okay. How come you didn't tell me? Or Calum?" He exclaims.
"Because we just got back together last night..."
"Oh." He drags out.
"Yeah, I gotta go, I need to finish the dishes."
"Fine, go finish the dishes, I guess I'll talk to you later...."
"Yes, you will. Bye Michael." I say and hang up my phone.
I turn to find Lilah, wrapped up in her towel and her hair soaking wet.
Damn.
"Who was that?" She asks while entering the bedroom.
"It was, uh, it was Michael." I stutter.
"Oh, okay. Can you leave for just a second so I can get dressed?"
"Of course, i'll be in the kitchen." I say while I leave the room. I close the door behind me and head back into the kitchen to finish the dishes.
Soon after, Lilah walks out wearing another one of my shirts, her skinny jeans, and her white converse.
She's ringing out her hair as she asks me, "What do you want to do before we go to Luke's?"
"Let's go out somewhere. I don't want to be cooped up in the house all day."
So this is just part one of two because I don't want this chapter to be too long so I hope you enjoy part one! Please vote and comment! ~C. Styles
