The Holiday That Changed My Life

Part Thirty Three

I parked my car in Astons driveway, using the code that JJ gave me to get in, and sighed deeply before getting out of my car and locking it behind me. I walked around the back of my car and headed for the front door, only for Aston coming out of it with his car keys swinging off his finger, dressed in what can only be described as a skin tight shirt, a pair of jeans and black converse.

"Oh, hey." He stammered, turning to close his door.

"Hey, look if you're busy I can come by another time?" I suggested, turning my body slightly to face my car.

"No, actually I er, was going to your place," Aston said as he scratched the back of his neck. "How did you know where I lived anyway?"

"Aimee rang JJ and practically forced him to text me it." I laughed softly as Aston cracked a smiled and laughed a little too.

"Listen, I want to apologise," Aston said at the time as I blurted out, "I need to explain!" Which made us both laugh at each other.

"You want to come inside?" He asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's a little bit cold out here." I giggled as he turned to unlock his door.

"The living room's straight down the hall to your left, I'll go switch the heating on." Aston told me as I walked into his house, him closing the door behind me before placing an affectionate kiss on my cheek, leaving me to blush as he headed up the stairs.

I was a bit wary about going to Astons living room since this was my first time here and I didn't want to go into the wrong room. It sounds stupid I know, seeing as he told me to go and where it was, but I've always been like this in new places.

But nevertheless, I headed down the hall and went through the door at the end which opened up into the living room. The room was absolutely gorgeous! It was a lovely cream colour, with a few awards dotted around the place along with plaques and whatnot. There was a huge flat screen tv hung on the wall above a fireplace, which I'm sure would look amazing when it was lit. A white L shaped couch sat comfortably on a kinda fluffy cream rug, along with a wooden table in the middle.

As I sat on his couch I looked through the two glass doors that led out into his garden, which went out quite a stretch but the grass looked freshly cut and it looked so pretty with the trees at the back and the odd plant here and there.

"I switched the heating on but it takes like ten minutes to actually warm up the place," I heard Aston say as he walked down the corridor, making me turn my head as he came through the door.

"So I brought this down for you, to keep you warm till it heats up." Aston said as he passed me a jacket over the back of the couch.

"Thanks." I smiled as I slipped it on over my cami, his jacket hugging his scent.

"Listen I'm gonna go make a drink, you want one?" He asked, resting his hand on the top of my head gently.

"You got hot chocolate?"

"Sure," He smiled softly as he ran his hand down my ponytail before leaving the room through another door, which I'm guessing led to the kitchen. "Make yourself comfortable babes!"

I slipped my converse off and moved them to the side of the couch, before curling my feet underneath me, waiting for Aston to come back.

"Here you go," Aston said as he walked around the couch before passing me my cup of hot chocolate, sitting down next to me on the couch with a cup of coffee.

"Hey look at you!" I giggled, looking down at my cup to see whipped cream, little marshmallows and a flake on top of my hot chocolate.

"It's not the same without it." He smiled before blowing on his coffee and taking a sip.

I love hot chocolate when it's piping hot so I brought the cup to my lips and took a sip before putting both of my hands around the cup and resting it on my leg as Aston laughed a little at me.

"What? What is it?" I frowned, confused as to why he was laughing at me.

"You've got a little," He started before placing his cup on the coffee table and sitting back next to me.

"Come here, I'll get it," He laughed, using his thumb to wipe my top lip which I'm guessing had cream on it. "There, all gone."

Aston looked me in the eyes for a few seconds before we both burst out laughing. But once the laughter had died down we sat in silence, neither one of us bringing up the topic we were meant to.
