Ashton

"Oops,"

I smiled, which broke off the kiss, but I knew Ava had walked in. Viola chuckled lightly, kissing me quickly one last time.

"Was that an Ava I heard?"

"I'm sorry,"

"Come here," I laughed, "we shared our first kiss with everyone,"

"I'm sorry,"

"No more apologies,"

"What did you want mrs?" Viola asked.

"A hug,"

"We can give you a hug," I said, slowly back away, before jumping onto my bed. She grinned and followed, curling into my body. Lastly, Viola came onto the bed, both of us either side of Ava.

"You're squishing me,"

"It would be a bad time to tickle you,"

"Don't," she warned.

"Why not?" I said, playfully tickling her stomach. She jumped and elbowed me, Viola laughing even more.

"Because," she said, "that happens,"

"Ow," I said, hugging her tightly, "bed time for you,"

"And you. You look tired,"

"Probably," I nodded, "no reading tonight. I'll tuck you in,"

She got up and I followed her to her room, putting the duvet across her body. I passed her the teddy, and kissed her cheek.

"Goodnight poppet, you were really brave today,"

"Sorry I spoke so much earlier,"

"You can speak as much as you need to, okay? Have a nice dream,"

"You too,"

"Goodnight,"

I switched her light off and propped the door open, going back to my own room. I got into my pyjamas, Viola in the bathroom, then climbed onto the bed.

"Where am I sleeping?"

"Wherever you want, although probably not with Ava," I smiled.

She sat on the bed, looking really uncomfortable and out of place. I laced my hand with hers, aimlessly scrolling through my phone until she laid down.

Close to me, she stretched her body out, resting her head on my chest.

"Smooth," I sniggered.

"Let me have it,"

"You can sleep on the sofa, or here alone if you want?"

"I'm fine. I'm just really tired,"

"Me too," I said, turning the main lights off, "I'm sleeping,"

"Just like that?"

I looked over at her and grinned, gently cupping her cheek again and kissing her.

Properly. More passionate. And with no interruption.

I woke up when I felt someone's eyes on me, seeing Ava at the door. She tiptoed in and came to my side, poking my arm.

"It's too early,"

"But I got you a surprise,"

"I'm tired, Ava,"

"But I even called Calum to help, and it's 10 am,"

I picked up my phone, seeing she was right, then squeezed her hand.
