LULU'S POV I woke up to Ashton lightly shaking me.
"Sweetness, wake up, sweetie pie." He whispered.
"What is it, angel?" I asked putting my glasses on.
"I can't sleep, babe." He pouted.
"You're so cute, babe." I giggled kissing Ashton.
"Can we just talk a little, babe?" He asked.
"Of course, baby." I said.
"What's going through that mind of yours?" I asked.
"How or when did you know you loved me?" He asked.
"About three years ago." I said.
"Really? When?" He asked.
"When I helped you get over your hangover after your twenty first birthday." I said.
"And you never told me?" He asked.
"No. I didn't know how you felt." I said.
"Continue, shortcake." He said.
"God I hate it when you call me that." I said.
"Shortcake." He sad again laughing.
"Anyway, we had been friends for like over a year, but it felt like more because we'd always hang out and be around each other. Then your twenty first rolled around. I knew that you were finally legal to drink in the states and I also knew you were going to throw a big party." I said.
"Don't I always?" He asked.
"Yeah, but I knew this was going to have way more alcohol. I purposely didn't go because I still wasn't legal to drink in the states yet." I said.
"That's why you didn't go?" He frowned.
I nodded.
"Then what did you do, sweetheart?" He asked.
"I took a walk on Santa Monica pier." I said.
"Aw, Lulu. I didn't know that's why you didn't go." He said.
"It's okay, babe. I was there the day after which was way more important." I said.
"Continue, cutie. I'm sorry I keep interrupting, cuddle bunny." He said holding me closer.
"It's fine, sweetheart. I remember you calling me sick as a dog saying you didn't want to see anyone but me. I knew you were hungover, but I felt bad I didn't go to your party, so I went to take care of you and clean your puke." I said.
"Let me guess, it was when you were cleaning my puke you knew you loved me." He said.
"Close. It was when you were finally feeling better and I was about to leave. You grabbed my wrist and kissed my forehead telling me not to leave yet. In that moment when you kissed my forehead, I knew I loved you. I'm sorry I kept it from you for so long, babe." I said.
"I remember that so clearly now. It's okay, babe. I have you now and that's all that matters. Our relationship has only gotten stronger since then. It grows everyday." He said.
"You always know what to say, sweetheart." I yawned feeling his grip tighten.
"Goodnight, doll face." I heard Ashton whisper.
