Joelle woke to almost pitch black outside, only able to see the fabric of Ashton’s pyjama shirt - they had all worn christmas pyjamas just for photos that Penelope and Joelle would no doubt take. As usual, Joelle was the first awake out of the two. She tried to wiggle over to get her phone, but to no avail. Ashton held her closer in his sleep, making her laugh.
“Ash, babe. Ash. It’s christmas, we need to get up” She told him softly, taking his hand in hers “We need to phone my dad as well, yeah? Don’t forget”
“Mm.. Joey” Ashton muttered under his breath, pulling her even closer until she was ontop of him “Do we have to get up?”
“Yeah” Joelle told him with a laugh, sitting up, straddling his abdomen “It’s christmas, and you need to open your presents!”
“You need to open your presents” Ashton told her “I just wanna cuddle longer”
“We can cuddle by the fire, yeah? C’mon, everyone’s waiting for us, babe” Joelle offered, feeling his hands slip under the hem of her shirt to rest on her hips. Suddenly she could see where he was coming from.
“Fine… got some good presents for you anyway, come on” Ashton hummed, picking her up as he got out of bed.
“Ash!” Joelle squealed, wrapping her arms around him as he carried her out of the room “Oh my god, if you drop me… I need to get my phone”
Ashton nodded, picking up her phone, very nearly dropping her as he did so “Ready to go then, princess?”
“I would ask why you’re carrying me but I think it’s because you’re tired and clingy” She told him, holding her phone on her stomach.
“Correcto. I can hear Mariah Carey” He hummed, reaching the bottom of the stairs and carrying her into the livingroom, hitting her legs against the wall accidentally.
“Mhm. Could you put me down please? I want to dance with you, and I can’t if i’m suspended high in the air, can I?” She told him, smiling as he lowered her gently onto the sofa.
“C’mon then, dance with me before Harry and Lauren wake up and realise that ‘eww, they’re kissing, they’re gonna get cooties’ “ Ashton joked, holding out his hands.
Joelle nodded, taking his hands and standing up, swaying with him. “I just want you for my own… more than you could ever know..” She sang softly, a smile on her lips as he placed a hand on her lower back “If anyones comes in you’re going to have to explain why your hand is so close to my arse”
“My hand slipped, it was an accident ” Ashton explained, swaying with her, his hand dropping even lower to rest on her arse.
“Your hand is still there”
“Still an accident” He shrugged, spinning with her.
“Sure it is, love. I’ll let you off, though, it is christmas after all” She shrugged with a hum, falling silent as they got closer.
Ashton didn’t respond, lost in the moment as he kissed her, the hand on her arse pulling her closer as it got more heated.
“Merry Christmas to you two, but could you not eat each other in the living room?” Penelope hummed, walking through the kitchen “Lauren and Harry are having breakfast, and then we’ll open presents. Do you want pancakes? There’s some batter left”
“No thanks” Joelle hummed, blushing as she stepped back “I’m going to phone my dad, if that’s alright?”
“Of course, dear. Ashton?”
“I’ll stay with Joelle, if that’s alright with everyone?”
“Yeah, of course it is.” Joelle nodded after seeing Penelope nod. She was so scared of doing anything to offend Ashton’s mom.
