Hey guys, I just wanted to start off by saying that you so much for 100 reads! I appreciate it so much, I'm so excited to see what is coming for this book. Ok I'll let you read now, carry on. xx
"Babe" Ashton called from his kitchen. I had spent the night at his and I was currently laying in his bed cuddling up to the blankets considering I was freezing. I unfortunately came down with a cold four days ago, and on top of that I was dealing with monthly issues; I was an absolute wreck. "Yes" I yelled back.
"Hey I'm here" he chuckled as he walked into his room with a bowl of soup and a bottle of water along with medication for cramps and coughing, what a combination. "Thank you" I smiled. "Anytime Princess. How's your stomach?" He asked. I didn't exactly want to tell him I was in pain for that specific reason so I played it off as a stomach ache. "Hurts like a bitch but I'm used to it,"
He gave me a look before smiling and shaking his head. "It's not just a stomach ache, is it?" he asked. I shook my head before opening the water bottle and downing the medicine. "Do you need anything? I will go buy anything if you do just tell me" He said getting in bed next to me and gently rubbing my lower back. "You're the best. Thank you" I smiled. "Not a problem. Do you want me to run you a bath, get a heating blanket, anything?" He asked. "A heating blanket would be great but don't worry about it just yet" I said with a smile, leaning into his chest.
We just talked for about an hour, he would ask random questions about me so he could "know for future reference", he wasn't too awkward about it either which felt pretty great. He's so chill and it's the cutest thing. "Alright Princess, I'll go grab that blanket" he said patting my leg before running downstairs to grab the blanket.
He plugged it in to the outlet and placed it on the bed, allowing me to stand up for a minute. "I'll be back" I said grabbing my bag and walking to the bathroom. I looked rough to say the least. My hair was a mess, I was pretty pale, and I felt extremely bloated and all I ate was soup. God I hate this.
I walked back to Ashton's room and tossed my purse next to my overnight bag and got into my side of the bed. When I got in Ashton placed the heating blanket over my lower stomach. "All set?" he asks. I nodded and laid my head on his chest.
We just sat there together for a few minutes. I listened to his heartbeat as his chest would slowly rise and fall which each breath.
"Kat, I know this isn't the most romantic of situations but I don't think I can wait any longer. I planned to do this tonight at dinner but I'm just going to live in the moment. Katrina, would you want to make it official and be my girlfriend?" he asked, I could tell he was nervous, which shocked me. He's dated so many girls why would he be nervous about me? He's known me since he was seven and I was six.
"Wait, really?" I asked, not able to hold back my smile. "Yeah, I mean we've been somewhat dating I guess for about two months so might as well ask" He said looking down at me. "Of course, I'd love to" I smiled. "Alright, it's official" he said and placed a quick kiss on my temple.
"Hold on, didn't you say you've never had a boyfriend?" he asked. "Yeah" I said looking down, hiding my blush. "Well your damn good at the whole relationship thing" he complimented. "Thank you" I laughed. As we made eye contact I could tell he was studying me, trying to learn more about me, how I work. "What?" I laughed as he continued to search through my mind. "Nothing" He giggled before averting his stare to his legs.
He was so cute when he's embarrassed.
"You're so fucking cute" I thought to myself.. well not exactly to myself. "I appreciate it" he blushed as he ran his hands up and down my back. All of a sudden I got an awful stabbing pain. I jumped a bit, surprised by how sudden it was. "You alright?" He asked, sitting up a bit to secure his hold. "Yeah fine" I said. "Do you need anything?" he concerned. I reassured him I was fine before sitting up and leaning into his chest once again. "What do you feel like doing, love?" he asked as he gently placed a hand on my stomach. "Anything really" I said, playing with his fingers as we talked.
