"Need help with anything else?" Ashton asks me as he enters the kitchen.
"No, I can handle this. Thank you for staying to help." I reply, turning to look at him as I leave the dishtowel on the counter.
"Of course. Thank you for throwing the party. We all needed it." He says, smiling. It brings out his dimples, which make him look like a child. For a moment my brain stops, all I can focus on is how sweet he looks.
"Please, I was looking for an excuse to throw a party." I giggle, trying to keep my mind together.
"I should get going. It's getting really dark outside. And I think the storm will make it hard for me to make it home." He says, pointing towards my front door. It takes everything in me to decide to mouth my next words.
"Stay over." I blurt out, making Ashton look at me surprised. I lower my head and look at my feet, sighing, mentally cursing myself for not wording my thoughts.
"I mean, it is late, it is dark, you have had a couple of drinks, and there is a blizzard approaching. It will be risky to drive home right now." I explain and he smirks at me.
"You worry too much, (Y/L/N)." He cocks an eyebrow. I practically feel my blood rush to my face, giving me a blush like nothing before.
"Of course I am. You are my friend. I would hate it if something happened to you on your way home." I reply, smiling at him.

"I'll make the bed inside for you and I will take the couch for tonight." I say to Ashton as I hand him a large t-shirt of mine and a pair of baggy sweats.
"You really shouldn't go out of your way for me."
"It's not like I have a guest room. And there is no way I would let you sleep on the couch." I insist and he crosses his arms in front of his chest.
"There is no way I will let you take the couch." He replies and I sigh.
"Ash, it is really not a problem for me. I will be fine." I try to assure him but he shakes his head no.
"No, you are not sleeping on the couch. Your bed is big enough for both of us. We can sleep for one night on the same bed. I won't bite, I promise." He states. My stomach feels like it is tightening every second I spend thinking of laying next to him.
"At least let me take the couch." Ashton suggests, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"No. I'll go change and we can share the bed." I smile and grab my good pair of pajamas.
"Are you sure? You seem uneasy." He asks me. I feel my heart flutter a little as I realize that he is worried about me; stupid crush...
"No, I am fine. I am just really tired and my brain is flicking on and off. I'll go change in the bathroom, you can change in here." I say, but Ashton moves ahead of me.
"I'll take the bathroom." He sings, strutting out of the room. I can't help but smile at his behavior; Gosh, I wish that I could just shut my feelings off for a second. This is going to be a long night. 

I shimmy out of my dress, letting it pool at my feet; the whole day has been exhausting, and shoving my body in a dress so tight that leaves intends on my skin has not helped me much. My pajamas, however, feel like heaven on my skin. They are soft and warm and so comforting, they almost help me feel at ease for a moment. I grab my dress and hang it on its hanger while I wait for Ashton to come and pick a side; I am restless, anxious, but happy for that. Even in the slightest, I can bring part of my dream into reality.
As Ashton enters the room, I can't help but burst in laughter.
"What? You don't like my outfit?" He asks, giving me a spin. My clothes look ridiculously small for his frame, making every inch of them stretch against his skin.
"This is amazing." I snortle, holding my stomach while I laugh.
"Why, I think that those yoga pants are spectacular, especially the way they hug my ass." He shrugs his shoulders.
"I wish I had something bigger for you to wear... I am scared that those might cut your circulation." I state, between breaths as I still try to calm down.
"I'll wear my shirt to bed, don't worry. Thanks for the outfit, though. I think I might adopt it." He snickers and I bite my bottom lip, nodding my head.
"Uh, which side would you like to sleep on?" I ask as he begins undressing. I try not to look at him, I really do. But I can't help but peek as he grabs the back of the t-shirt and pulls it over his head.
"I am fine with whatever. Sleep where you normally sleep." He replies and I nod my head, picking up the covers on my side and slipping under them. I fix my pillows as Ashton walks to the other side of the bed and gets under the covers as well.
"Lights on or off?" He asks me.
"You are the guest here." I reply and he sighs.
"I'll turn them off." He replies, reaching for the switch above the headboard.
