Saturday Night / Sunday Morning
“If you knew how I wanted someone to come along and change my life, the way you’ve done.”
Ashton’s POV
I have to admit, when she asked me to stay with her, I couldn’t resist.
When I laid next to her, I put my arms around her and she fit perfectly.
She was asleep in minutes but I let my mind wander with the questions of “what if?”
“What if this turns into more?”
“What if she has deeper problems?”
“What if I can’t help her?”
As my mind continued to race, I caught myself staring at her in the moonlit bedroom.
I would rub her back gently when she stirred.
Why do I feel so comfortable and protective over her?
It’s like we just, fit.
I can’t get over how breathtaking she is.
She looks so serene in her deep slumber.
She seems at peace, innocent, and unscathed.
I know I have to take her home in the morning and I’m dreading it.
I know it’s irrational and I don’t understand what I’m feeling.
I decide not to meddle on the idea anymore.
She shifts one last time in her sleep and with her head on my chest, I drift off into my own dreams.
Aven’s POV
For the first time in ages, I wake up in a familiar setting.
I remember last night.
I remember every blissful moment of it.
I look up and stare for a minute at how gorgeous Ashton is.
His eyes flutter open slowly and he whispers huskily, “Good morning, beautiful.”
I smile sheepishly and reply “Morning”.
We lie in bed for a few more minutes before I ask for a shower.
He gives me a towel and leaves me with my privacy.
I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming.
I have to remind myself he’s real.
He’s real and he didn’t take advantage of me?
I’ll have to remember to get his number before I leave.
Shit!
My phone is busted.
Maybe I just won’t go home today.
It’s not like I want Robin’s company right now.
Not if she’s still talking with Greyson.
After my shower, I walk out in his tee shirt from the night before and my leggings.
I can’t help but blush when he seems tongue tied.
“Uh, hi! I mean, wow. Erm, you look nice.”
“Thanks” I say bashfully.
“So, what are we gonna do today, Ash?”
