MINE

CHAPTER - 16

Scarlett's POV:

"Ashton?!"

"What happened?"

"I don't have anything to wear. My pajamas are in my room," I said peeping out of his closet.

"I don't have any objection if you wander around my room naked," he smirked. I tried hard not to blush but in vain.

"Please.." I pouted with puppy eyes.

"Really? You go and make that face knowing that I probably won't say no?" He laughed.

"Ok, wear any of my t-shirts," he said pointing to his clothes. I took one of his t-shirts and wore it. It reached mid-thigh. After I change and step out into his closet, I see Ashton leaning up against the wall in only loose pajama pants. He looks so hot.

"You sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the couch," he said.

I walked to his bed and hop onto the bed and wait for him to join me. He walks over and pauses "You don't mind sharing a bed?" he looks confused. I shook my head. He laughed and climbed in. He pulls me to his side and I snuggled in as he kissed my forehead.

"I don't know whether to say it or not. But, Ashton I don't need all of this. I'm a simple girl, I have simple tastes. I don't want you to spend so much money on me. Take me to a pizzeria around the block and I'm happy" I said smiling as my fingers trace his stomach muscles. I have never been like this with a man. But it doesn't feel awkward or new. It feels normal to be with Ashton. I feel very connected to him as if we are meant to be here, like this.

"I want to. You make me feel so different. Since the day I saw you, I can't think of anyone else but you. With other women, it was just sex. But with you, I don't even want that. Just cuddling with you like this is so much better than sex. Shit! I didn't mean that how it came out. I'm not good at these things," he smacked his forehead.

"Ashton," I say grabbing his hand and holding it "You are doing great and I understood what you are trying to say".

"Please don't give up on me. I know I'm going to fuck up probably big time. But I promise if you give me time and trust I'll fix it up".

"Just don't cheat on me. And no side pieces" I said.

"Of course, I promise not to cheat on you. I would do anything for you Scar. Even get blue balls," he grinned.

"Thank you, Ashton. This has been the most unforgettable experience of my life. You made me feel so special."

"Thank you for saying yes to the date. And I plan on making many more unforgettable moments with you".

We lay there just looking at each other. We also talked about our lives and got to know each other better. He's a kind and gentle soul which everyone doesn't know. He has a very soft side. The entire time my fingers have been aimlessly tracing his stomach and chest. I ended up sleeping in his arms.

The next morning I woke up in Ashton's arms and our legs are tangled. He hugged me very possessively. I like it a lot. He's so calm and handsome when he's asleep. No one believes that he's the same rude, asshole of a playboy.

I tried to move very slowly trying not to wake him up and got out of bed. I went to the bathroom and did my morning routine. I then tied my hair in a loose bun and went to the kitchen.

I decided to make breakfast for the two of us. After all that he had done for me, this is the least I can do for him right?

I mixed the batter for chocolate muffins and set it in the oven. I decided to make scrambled eggs and ham & cheese toast.
