  I woke up and turned to see that Ashton was gone. I touched the pillow next to me and then looked at the bathroom as Ashton walked out. He smiled when he saw that I was awake. "I was just going to wake you up," Ashton said smiling as he walked to the edge of the bed.

  "Really how were you going to wake me up?" I asked smiling. Ashton wasn't wearing anything but a towel. He crawled up the bed and leaned over me.

  "Something along the lines of this," Ashton said kissing me. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him bringing him closer.  

  "I like this," I said smiling at him.

  "Yeah, we should do this more often," Ashton said looking at me. "Because last night was so much fun."

  "It was about time," I said smiling. I kissed Ashton and then pushed him so that he was laying next to me. I laid on top of him and lightly kissed him. There was a knock on the door. I looked back at Ashton and saw that he was smiling. "Who is that?"

  "That would be the breakfast that I ordered," Ashton said getting up. He fixed his towel and opened the door, dragging a cart in so the attendee wouldn't see me.

  "You ordered breakfast?" I asked sitting up, holding the sheet up to my chest. Ashton grabbed his shirt and held it out so I could put it on. I slipped it on and unbuttoned it so I could walk to the table.

  "Because I love you and I didn't want to take you to McDonald's," Ashton said sitting down across from me. I  smiled at him and looked at my plate. "What do you want to do today?"

  "I need to go home and pack at one point," I said taking a sip of orange juice. "I am leaving tomorrow night, but whatever. We have the whole day and tomorrow."

  "How are you going to function with your sister living in London?" Ashton asked. I crossed my legs and sat up straight. "Don't do that."

  "Don't do what?" I asked.

  "You get proper when you talk about something uncomfortable, like living without your sister," Ashton said looking at me. I knew that he was right, but I didn't want to admit it.

  "I suppose I will finish out this year and then move to London for the rest of college, maybe tour the world before I continue," I said nodding. "I don't have anyone to tell me that I should wait, so I think that I should do that now."

  "Where do I fit into this?" Ashton asked. I froze and looked at my plate. I hadn't even thought about including Ashton in future plans. I have never gotten that far so it didn't occur to me.

  "I will travel with you and the boys if I have to," I said taking another bite of the pancakes Ashton ordered. "As long as I am doing something exciting than I am for it."

  "You sound like touring is something awful," Ashton said sitting up straight.

  "You do it also," I said looking at him. "Are you not comfortable taking about this?"

  "No," Ashton said shrugging. "I just don't want you to do something that you would regret."

  "I wouldn't regret that," I lied. I liked to tour with the boys but I couldn't do that forever. I want to travel, graduate from college, find a job, her married. I wasn't ready to put that away for touring.

  "You would," Ashton said.

  "I don't want to leave you," I said looking up at him. "Everything will be fine. I promise."

  When I didn't hear anything I looked up at Ashton and saw him looking at me. "What?" I asked.

  "I love you," Ashton said standing up. I smiled and kissed him as he bent down in front of me.
