Chapter Three

Ashley's POV

Anthony and I decided it'd be fun to make a pillow fort in my bedroom to watch Netflix in, but little did we know it would actually require a lot of work. After our fourth attempt, we gave up and decided to just lay in my bed. We had at least a solid foot in between us (for all of y'all foreigners, that's about 30 cm) and it was clear we both felt a little awkward in the situation.

"So, what do you want to watch?" I asked him, grabbing the remote.

"Whatever you want to watch," A devilish smirk crept upon my lips, as I knew now that we would most likely be watching chick flicks all night.

"Is After cool with you?" He nodded and I felt like he was sad about something.

"Alright, what's wrong? Talk to me," I sat up criss cross applesauce, facing him as he was laying down.

"I'm just tired, honestly," He whispered as I avoided eye contact with him, and gently played with his hair, brushing through it with my fingers softly. When I looked back down at him, I found him staring at my lips, and I couldn't help but look at his as well; light pink, perfectly plump, he licked them lightly before we made eye contact and I lightly smirked.

Anthony's POV

I'm so tired at the moment, I didn't even hear her movie suggestion, so I just nodded my head. When she questioned what was wrong and I told her I was tired, she began softly playing with my hair. It felt amazing, God she's adorable. I slowly closed my eyes and continues smiling as she gently brushed through it with her fingers. When I opened my eyes again, I couldn't help but stare at her perfect lips, and notice how beautiful she truly is.

I caught her look down at me, and found her looking at my lips as well.

Is this really happening, I asked myself.

As we both looked up and made eye contact, I noticed a smirk on her lips, which just about sent me into overdrive. Omg, how can someone be so perfect. Everything about her is just so ughhhh. Perfect.

Ashley's POV

We both started leaning in when the thunder rumbled louder than it had all night, causing me to scream and practically jump into Anthony's arms. Talk about embarrassing.

"It's getting kinda cold, wanna get under the covers?" I nodded my head in agreement of Anthony's suggestion and we got under my blankets. I will be completely honest, I was definitely disappointed when we were barely even touching and both felt awkward.

Anthony's POV

To be completely honest, the main reason I suggested we get under the covers was because I want to cuddle. To say I'm disappointed and uncomfortable right now would be an understatement. I mean, she was leaning in for that kiss too right? I mean, before she jumped into my arms in the most adorable way possible.

Fuck it, I thought.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her in closer to me. I felt her relax and let out a breath I didn't even notice I was holding. She intertwined our fingers together as rested our hands on her stomach as I nestled my face into her neck, gently kissing her jawline.

She let out a moan that was so quiet it was barely audible, which caused me to groan slightly as well.

"You're absolutely beautiful," I whispered into her ear as I kissed her neck one last time before we drifted off to sleep.

And let me just tell you; big spoon is the best;)
