Evolution [JLS Fanfic]

Part 7

I woke, in the same position I fell asleep in last night, cuddled up to Ast. I smiled, enjoying the moment, until I realised what was happening. I was asleep. Next to Aston. I jumped up, knowing if CJ or Dad saw us like this I'd never hear the end of it and I'd end up with the whole 'birds and bees' talk. Ast woke, as I jumped up, his eyes slowly opening.

"Erh, Where am I?" Ast mumbled, still half asleep.

"My house." I spoke, trying to hurry him along before any else woke up.

"Oh. Sorry, I must have fallen asleep last night." Ast spoke, pushing himself to a more sat up position.

"Doesn't matter. I think we were both tired, just don't tell anyone." I smiled, knowing if Rach found out she'd kill me.

"I won't. How're you feeling?" Ast asked.

"Actually, I'm fine." I smiled, realising I did actually feel fine. "I must have just eaten something funny or something."

"Good." Ast smiled, sitting on my bed.

"Let's go downstairs. I'll just tell dad you came around early this morning because I didn't feel too good last night." I smiled, knowing dad wouldn't doubt me.

"Okay." Ast smiled, walking down the stairs behind me.

I saw a figure laid in the sofa, the TV on, but on mute.

"Hey guys!" I heard the person speak. Then I knew who it was. Rach.

"Rach? What're you doing here?" I asked, amazed that she'd camped out on my sofa without my Dad kicking her out when he came back from his night out.

"Erm, I was going to wait for Ast, to walk next door with, so sat down. But I must have fallen asleep." Rach replied, laughing at her own sleepiness, before looking up and seeing Ast behind me. "But it looks like Ast fell asleep too." A grin spread across her face, as she winked at me.

"I think so. I felt like death yesterday so wasn't really aware of it." I smiled, trying to tell her nothing happened.

"Oh, okay. How're you now?" Rach asked, as I sat beside her, Ast next to me.

"I'm fine. Must have just been something funny yesterday." I replied.

"How did you get away without my Dad seeing you here?" I asked Rach, who smiled.

"He came back while I was waiting for Ast. I told him I was waiting for Ast, and he let me stay here for 5 minutes." Rach spoke. At least it made sense. Dad would have let Rach sit there, but not sleep there.

"Oh." I looked down, before jumping up. "Anyone want a drink?" I asked.

"No, I better get going. Mum will kill me if she realises I didn't go home last night!" Ast smiled. "I'll let myself out."

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." I replied, as Rach and I smiled bye.

"OMG LIV!" Rach screamed as Ast closed the door.

"Shush!" I exclaimed, not wanting to wake anyone. "What?"

"You slept with Ast!" Rach whispered.

"No. Don't say it like that! Nothing happened!" I laughed. Did she actually think I'd do anything like that? The furthest I'd ever gone with a boy was getting off and I didn't plan on going any further with one for a while.

"Yeah, but you shared a bed and everything!"

"No, I was ill, he was tired. We fell asleep, end of story." I spoke, turning on the kettle.

"Did he hug you all night?" Rach started, before interrupting herself. "DID YOU SEE HIM LAST NIGHT!" Rach started giggling. "It was so adorable. He was so worried, and when you fell over and he picked you up. And you had his jacket! And..." I cut Rach off.
