Money, Planes, & Saying Goodbye

Chapter Fifty-Eight

I woke up the next morning and I was completely comfy where I was laying. Ashton's strong arms were wrapped all the way around my waist and his head was buried in my neck from behind. All the memories came rushing back to me and I couldn't help but smile and wiggle a little with happiness.

Ashton Irwin was my first time, and he had told me he loved me. Everything was going to be perfect. I could just tell.

I felt Ashton shift behind me and his eyelashes brushed against my neck as he opened his eyes.

I turned over carefully and brought my hands to rest behind his neck. "Morning, baby," I whispered as if someone else could be in the house. Madison hasn't came home in I don't know how long and I haven't seen Heather since... Well, I don't know when.

"Good Morning," Ashton replied, his voice groggy with sleep. "Are you alright?"

"I'm much better than alright, you don't have to keep asking me."

"I don't want you to be in pain, I love you so much."

I smiled and brought my lips to his, leaving a soft kiss on his mouth. "I love you more."

"I'm sorry but that's not possible."

"That's completely possible." He looked at me for a moment before his face fell. "What's wrong?"

"Promise me that you'll never leave me?"

"I promise, Ash," I said with my eyebrows drawn together with concern. "Why would you think like that?"

"I just," Ashton sarted but his voice cracked and he had to let out a deep breath before starting over. "I just love you so much and I don't ever want to loose you, I can't loose you, Rosie."

"I'm not ever going anywhere. We're in this together, no matter what."

"Alright," he said smiling. "Let's go get breakfast. What would you like to eat?"

I thought about my answer but before I could even reply Ashton grabbed me by my hand and stood me up. He didn't say anything as he led me up the stairs and into my bedroom. Shutting the door behind him, he made his way to my closet and pulled out some clothes.

"Never mind, I know where I'm taking you," Ashton said quietly as he pushed me into the bathroom. "But we have to take your car because Clifford took mine when he went home."

"I forgot about Michael," I laughed. "When did he leave?"

"The second I closed the car door."

"Wow."

"Now hurry, we need to leave soon to be able to get breakfast. I'll go crank the car, so it's cool and we can stop by my house on the way." Ashton leaned forward and left a cool kiss on my forehead. "Quickly, so I won't have to miss you as long."

-

"Ash?" I said from the passenger seat of my car.

"Hmmm," Aston hummed as he slowed at a stoplight and brought his left hand, that was intertwined him mine, up to his mouth so he could leave a sweet kiss on each of my knuckles.

I couldn't help but giggle and Ashton hadn't stopped smiling since we woke up this morning.

"When do you have to leave again?" I asked quietly, dreading the answer.

"Two weeks," he said. "They told me that everyone needed a break but in actuality we all know that I sucked and couldn't play."

"I'm sure that's not true," I whispered comfortingly.

"Yeah, it was but its okay. I don't have anything to worry about anymore. I have you and I always will. Now and forever, right baby?"

"Now and forever, Ashton."
