34. Me and You

The next morning I woke up with Ashton's head on my chest. His arms were around my waist and my hands were in his hair. I sighed. It was so nice to be with him.

I felt him sigh against me and roll over. I turned to look at him. He was awake and rubbing his eyes. He looked over at me.

"How long have you been awake?" He asked. I shrugged.

"Not very long." I said, "What time is it?" I asked quietly. I almost didn't want to know. I felt like I was in my own world where it was just me and Ashton. Knowing the time would put me right back into reality.

"It's about 9:30." He said, "I need to get up." He said sitting up. I frowned and grabbed his arm.

"Why do you have to get up?" I asked, "wouldn't you rather stay here and be warm and cozy?" I started pulling him back.

"You know I would." He leaned down to kiss me but stopped short, "But I've got shit to do." He gave me a quick peck and got out of bed. I was instantly colder. He grabbed a towel off a chair and walked into his bathroom. He closed the door and the shower started.

During his shower I thought about getting up. But I didn't. Not until he had returned.

"You haven't moved." He said chuckling. I nodded in agreement.

"I need a shower and you were hogging it." I sat up. Ashton raised his eyebrows.

"You could've joined me." He said. He grabbed his hairbrush and combed through his hair quickly. I blushed at his comment. I'm not sure why. We sat in silence until a thought came to mind.

"Okay so. I've been perusing some fan accounts dedicated to you." I said. He turned around slowly, "I've got a couple questions." He held his hand up.

"I know what they are." He said, "I don't have a daddy kink." I laughed.

"Thank god because I am not into that." I said. Ashton shook his head.

"One too many jokes and people start taking that shit seriously." He said. "But I can't be like 'hey guess who has two thumbs and doesn't have a daddy kink'. It wouldn't go over well." I nodded.

"Right. A couple more questions-" I started. He cut me off with his hand up again.

"I don't have any weird kinks." He said slowly, "I'm pretty vanilla." He was quick to add, "I mean I'm up for anything though, so bring it on." I laughed and got out of bed.

After my shower my phone started to ring. It was Reece's landline. I don't know why she doesn't just use her cellphone to call people.

"Okay I have to tell you this." She said as soon as I picked up. She didn't even let me greet her.

"Sure, go ahead." I sighed. She went on and on about how Lorelei met Jeremy and invited them to dinner with her and Calum. I knew that that wouldn't go over well.

"Awesome. What time should I be there?" I asked. Reece stopped dead in her tracks.

"No?" She said, "you aren't invited." She said like that could stop me.

"That's just too dang bad." I started to towel dry my hair. I wasn't sure where Ashton was but whatever plans he had tonight he was gonna have to cancel. I sat down at the kitchen counter and opened the laptop in front of me. I assume it was Ashton's.

"Uhm why?" She asked. I could hear her pulling something over her head. It was password protected. I just wanted to open Twitter.

"Uhm because I don't trust you alone with Calum?" Had Reece already forgotten that I knew that they were sleeping together? Every password I tried was wrong.
