Band One Shots

Day After- Ashley Purdy

My eyes slowly open as the sunlight creeps through the closed blinds covering the hotel window. I smile slightly when I realise that Ashley's arms are still wrapped around me tightly, just as they were when we fell asleep together the previous night.

Carefully, trying not to wake him up, I try to pry his arms from around my naked body so that I can get up and shower. I gently kiss his cheek before going into the bathroom and turn on the shower, adjusting the temperature before getting in.

I take my time getting clean in the shower, hoping that Ashley will be awake when I get back out. Once I've finished washing my hair and body, I get out of the shower.

I wrap a towel around my body, using another to dry my hair a little before walking back into the bedroom. Ashley is no longer in bed, he isn't in the room either and his clothes are gone.

A horrible thought runs through my head, but I try to push it out. There's no way he could have left me. I'm not just some random one night stand, we've been dating for four months. But what if he was just pretending to like me to get in my pants? No, he invited me on tour with him, he wouldn't have done that if he was just going to leave me.

I look up when I hear the hotel door open, smiling when I see Ashley pushing the door open with his leg as he carries things in both hands.

"Good morning, gorgeous." He says as he walks inside, letting the door close behind him. "I went over to Starbucks and got us some coffee. I thought you might be tired after last night." He smirks, holding two takeout cups of coffee from the Starbucks across the street from the hotel.

I smile, feeling a wave of relief rush over me. I feel kind of bad now for thinking that there was even a chance that he may have just walked out on me. "Thanks baby. You're so sweet." I smile and walk over to him, taking my coffee from him before standing on my tiptoes and kissing him softly.

He puts down his coffee on the end table, taking mine from me against and placing my cup next to his. He picks me up, hugging me tightly and spinning me around.

I laugh, holding onto him tightly. After a moment, he stops spinning, still holding me up as he lightly kisses me several times, all over my face.

He smiles softly as he places me back down, letting me pick up my coffee and take a sip. He sits down on the bed with his coffee and pats his lap to tell me to sit down. I happily comply, sitting down in his lap.

We sit there in comfortable silence with me leaning against his chest, listening to his heart beating as we drink our coffee. He lightly rubs my back, pulling my towel away slightly so he can rub it properly.

"I hope it didn't scare you too much when you realised I wasn't here." He says softly, looking down at me. "I didn't realise until I was already at Starbucks that I should have told you where I was going."

He's still trying to prove himself to me. He has a reputation, but I've given him a chance and I'm so happy I have. I completely believe him now, it was just a horrible thought that crept in that he could have left, but he still feels like he has something to prove.

I sigh, biting my lip. "It's okay, sweetie. Yeah, it scared me a little." I admit, looking up at him. "I'm sorry for even thinking that it was even a possibility. I know you aren't like that. I know this is a real relationship, not just one night."

He smiles softly, squeezing my arm gently. "I thought you might feel like that." He says and kisses the side of my head. "I'm sorry I never said anything before I left, but you were in the shower and I didn't want to disturb you. I promise, I don't ever want to leave you."

I smile, looking up at him. "Good. Because we've only been together for a short time, but I know I want to be with you for a very, very long time."
