Dimples

Chapter 19

***So the weather in Greece in December is like in the 50s but we're going to pretend that it's like high 80s and low 90s because it's my story and I want it to be. Thanks. Don't forget to vote and comment. ***

"Wake up." Ashton whispers to me before his lips flutter across mine. His hand pushes my hair out of my face and I smile at the softness of his touch. My eyes open I find him leaning over me. I rub my eyes and stretch before the smile on my face widens. I'm in Greece with Ashton. We're alone away from my father. I'm safe.

"Hi." I greet before I sit halfway up and kiss him. We kiss for a minute before he pulls away. "It's hot." I complain with a breath of a laugh. I throw my legs over the side of the bed and have to hold in a gasp when I see the shorts and tank top I am wearing. Ashton dressed me last night. Normally I would be embarrassed but all I can think about is whether or not he saw the tattoo. I was going to show it to him later in the trip.

"Were you going to tell me?" He asks in an angry tone. I cringe slightly and look down before taking in a breath.

"Yes." I answer weakly before getting up. "I was going to tell you later in the trip." I mutter to him before I go into the bathroom and lock the door behind me. I lean against the door and take a deep breath while I try to hold my tears at bay. Why is he angry with me? It's my body.

When a tear streaks down my cheek I move away from the door and start the shower. I strip before stepping into the cool water before leaning against the tile wall and falling apart. My sobs are as quiet as I can make them and I cry for a few minutes before I pull myself together and finish my shower.

When I am finished with my shower, my eyes feel heavy and I know that it probably looks like I cried. I shrug my shoulders before I open the bathroom door and walk into the room in my towel. I don't look up as I walk over to my suitcase and pull out a peach colored sleeveless dress and some jewelry. I turn back around to go into the bathroom again and gasp when I run into Ashton's chest.

"Sorry." I mumble and try to move past him but he has his arms around me so I can't move away from him. He pulls one of his arms away to tip my chin up and I find him scanning my face with despair on his face.

"Don't cry." He murmurs and I almost fall apart again. He pulls me flush against his chest and I use one hand to grip the towel to me while I wrap the other one around him. "I'm sorry I acted that way. I'm not angry with you. It's your body and you can do with it whatever you please." He rambles making me giggle some before I pull away and kiss him. We kiss for a few minutes before I pull away.

"I need to get dressed." I tell him with a smile. "Then we'll go out and explore." He nods his head before kissing me one more time and going over to his suitcase as I go into the bathroom. I close the door and quickly change into the dress. When I am finished, I walk into the room to find Ashton dressed and ready to go. He smiles at me before holding out his hand. I grab it and savor the feeling of butterflies in my stomach as tingles shoot up my arm and my face flushes.

"You look beautiful." He tells me as we walk out of our room. We decide to go to some monuments before heading down to the water. The Parthenon was amazing and the weather is so warm that I was glad to wear my swimsuit under my dress. The water here is crystal clear and so warm when we are in it. We hang out in the sun for a few hours until I can finally feel myself burning then we walk back to our hotel and go up to our room.

"Did you have fun today?" I ask as I pull the dress over my head leaving me in a one piece. I was too uncomfortable in a bikini because of the scar so I decided to bring my one piece.

"Definitely. Did you?" he asks as he pulls off his shirt. My eyes wander down to his built chest and he grins when he catches me staring. I blush before answering.
