Ashley's POV

"Are you ready?" Simon asks when he walks into my bedroom. He has stayed over at my flat for a few days. Today it's my Mum's funeral.

"Yeah I am. We still got time left, could we eat breakfast in that little bakery near the cemetery?"

"Of course we can. It's on me." he replies and hugs me from behind. I look at him in the mirror. He looks fit in his black suit. Very handsome. "You look beautiful." he whispers into my ear before letting go of me and walking out of the room. I walk behind him, grabbing my bag from the door handle.

We put on our shoes and walk out. I lock the door and we leave the building. Simon's car is parked in front of the building, what a lucky guy. Usually there is never a free parking lot so I decided to park my car in a garage and pay for a place.

The whole care ride both of us remain silent. I hum the melody to some songs on the radio but really quiet. I lean against the car door with my head rested on the window. I close my eyes and just enjoy the music.

About half an hour we reach the bakery. The fresh bread and croissants smell delicious. We walk in and order our breakfast.

"Some tea and a croissant please." I say.

"For me just some bread please" SImon orders and pays. We sit down and Simon gives me that very cute smile that made me once fall for him already. I know him from school, he was one grade above me and both of our classes went on a school trip to Belgium and Germany. The first time I talked to him was when my friends and I wanted to take a selfie and he saw it asking if he could be in the picture too.

"Why are you grinning like that?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

"The last time we ate breakfast together was a long time ago when we both got really drunk. You were 16 at that time and I was 18 already."

"Wow. That's so long ago!"

"That's what I just said." he answers and I just roll my eyes and drink my tea.

The day passes really quickly and I'm glad. Tomorrow I will fly to Miami where I'll see the lads and their girlfriends again. I can't wait to see Sarah again, I miss her a lot to be honest. Simon will fly to Miami as well, and he'll also stay with us in the house.

------------------------------

"Please fasten your seatbelt and put your seat in an upright position, we're about to land." the stewardess says through the speaker. I grab my boyfriend's hand and he squeezes mine. He's scared of flights. Well not exactly the flight but he's afraid of the plane crashing.

I can hear him breathing in and out fastly. Simon closes his eyes and stays in this position until the plane connects to the floor again, then he smiles at me happily. I quickly kiss him and then he stands up to take his backpack out of the overhead locker. He hands me my brown bag which is my favorite and leave the plane as some of the first people.

I dislike waiting in the plane to get out of it very much as I usually start to panick and feel like I'm about to faint.

After baggage reclaim we hail a cab and drive to the house we loaned for the bit of time we spend here.

"Ashley! Finally you're here!" Sarah shouts when I ring the doorbell. She throws her arms around me  and pulls me in. Simon just walks in after us carrying both of our suitcases. I see all of the One Direction guys in the living room except for Niall. 

I greet the boys and the girls and then walk upstairs. I hear sobbing and open the door to the room it comes from. I see Niall sitting on the bed and immediately feel so sorry.

"Hey." I say softly and sit down next to him. He moves a bit away. "Are you mad?"

"Not exactly." he answers. Niall takes a tissue from the nightstand and wipes away the tears on his cheeks.

"Then why are you crying"

"Because I am hurt. I thought you'd feel something for me! And now you have a boyfriend. This is exactly what I meant when I said you're just like any other model!" he stands up while yelling at me so I stand up too.

"What do you want me to do now?!" I snap and scream.

"I don't fucking know, okay!" he grabs his phone and throws it in my direction. I can catch it with my right hand and put it in the back pocket of my jeans. He looks for something else to destroy and while he does that I throw myself on top of him. He lands with his back on the bed. I don't get off him I just stay like that, my chest against his.

"You need to calm down. Look, I am sorry. This shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have had sex with you, I-"

"Ashley, did the sex feel good for you?" he interrupts me and strokes my hair.

"Uh, yes it did, why?"

"Because you shouldn't be sorry for things you enjoy." he tells me softly. I nod and try to get up but he pulls me even closer. "Please stay until I'm asleep. You're the reason I can't fall asleep at night."

"Okay." I whisper and nuzzle my face into the crook of his neck. I should get some sleep too. Niall moves a bit so my legs are between his and his hand is rested on my lower back.

I fall asleep not even thinking about my boyfriend downstairs. Because this moment is all that matters right now.

How can something that is wrong feel so right?

I don't know. But I am sure I'll find out soon.
