Reaching for Happiness

Chapter 13

*knock knock*

'Ast, JJ's on the phone for you!' I heard Marvin shout from outside Aston's bedroom. I shot upright. I looked over at Aston, who was sleeping peacefully. I nudged him gently until he woke up. He had tired eyes, and messy hair. He looked adorable.

'I could get used to waking up to you every morning' he yawned, followed by a smile. 

'Ast, Marv is outside, he's got the phone for you. Apparently JJ wants to talk to you' I whispered.

'Okay, you'll just have to hide in my en suite' he smiled. I quickly jumped out of his bed and grabbed my clothes from the floor. I dashed into Aston's en suite and closed the door behind me.

*knock knock*

'Ast, open the fucking door man!' I heard Marvin shout again. I heard Aston's bedroom door unlock, and Aston and Marvin exchange quick 'good morning's. I then heard the door close again, as it was locked again. Aston opened the door to his en suite and signaled me to come out. By now, I had put my underwear back on. I sat on Aston's bed as he chatted away with JJ. After about 10 minutes, he put the phone down. He grinned at me as he walked over to me, pushed me down so I was laying on the bed and leaned over me. He gently bit down on his lip, before pushing his lips onto mine.

'Come on then, we better sneak you back to your room' he sighed as we broke apart.

'Yeah' I sighed, as I got dressed.

Aston unlocked his bedroom door, and checked to see if anyone was there. There was nobody there, so he grabbed me hand and we tiptoed to my room. When we got to the door, we quickly exchanged a kiss, before I closed the door and Aston made his way back to his room.

A while later, I made my way downstairs. Nikki was sat watching TV with Marvin.

'Morning' I smiled.

'Morning' they both replied. I sat down on the other sofa.

'Do you want a drink girls? And some breakfast?' Marvin asked us.

'Sure' we both smiled.

'Fry up?' Marvin asked.

'mmmmmm, sounds good!' Nikki giggled. Marvin then went off to make breakfast, closing the kitchen door behind him.

'Chloe, come sit here' Nikki told me, patting the space next to her where Marvin was just sat. I sat next to her, and smiled at her.

'I saw you this morning, coming out of Aston's room' she whispered to me. My mouth dropped.

'Nikki, please don't tell anybody' I pleaded.

'I won't, as long as you tell me how long its been going on?' she smiled.

'A few weeks maybe.. I dunno'

'Awww! You two are so cute together! I told you that you make a good couple' she smiled.

'Thanks'

After out fry up, Aston made his way downstairs. His hair was wet, so he must have had a shower. 

'Morning' he smiled.

'Morning' we all said back, Nikki smiling much more than me and Marvin. Aston pulled a confused look at her. He sat down, and we were all in conversation. About an hour later, Marvin gave me and Nikki a lift home.

At about 4pm, I was sat watching films eating ice cream. Something I loved to do on a lazy day. I was wearing my joggers and a big fluffy jumper. There was a knock at my door. I put my ice cream down and paused the film as I opened my door. It was Aston.

'Hey gorgeous' he smiled.

'Hi' I said as I kissed his lips softly.

'Come in' I smiled.

'Chloe.. we need to talk' he sighed as we sat down on my sofa. Oh god. This was it. He was breaking up with me.

'I think we should tell Marvin about us' he said. I sighed with relief. 

'OMG, I thought you were gonna break up with me then!'

'What? No.. I could never be with anyone else' he smiled.

'I think we should tell Marvin. Nikki already knows. She saw us this morning'

'Oh.. so that's why she was acting weird' he chuckled.

'Yeah' I giggled.

'I'm so glad we can finally tell Marv..'

'Me too Ast. When should we tell him?'

'Next time we're both with him'

'Okay, sounds good to me!' I said, as I pushed my lips onto Aston's. I just hoped Marvin would be okay with us being together..
