< Tuesday >
Things seemed to be getting better in California. We aren't on full lockdown anymore and we can have gatherings up to 10 people. So later today, we're all going to Michael and Crystal's.
Ashton wasn't in bed when I woke up, which is normal. I laid there for a minute then heard Ashton talking and pans clinking in the kitchen. I slid out of bed and grabbed Ashton's white Youngblood hoodie off the dresser, tossing it over my body and letting it pool around my bare thighs.
I walked out and into the kitchen, finding Ashton at the stove with his phone up filming himself making breakfast. He looked good in the white shirt he wore, which made his back muscles visible, along with the same pair of basketball shorts he's worn for three days.
"What are you doing?" I laughed, sitting at the island. Ashton spun around with wide eyes.
"I'm making an Instagram story of me making us breakfast" he smiled and turned right back to what he was doing.
"Okay, so the queen has awakened so I need to finish this so she doesn't get hangry" he joked to his phone, making me roll my eyes, "Now when the bubbles form it's ready to flip" he proudly spoke and flipped all the pancakes.
"Okay, so now they're ready and we will put them on the plate..." he trailed and put two of the chocolate chip pancakes on a plate, "Then you give them to the queen" he teased and sat the plate in front of me and ended his video.
"Thank you" I grinned sleepily as Ashton got his own plate and sat next to me, sliding a cup of coffee at me as well.
"No problem" he grinned, placed a kiss on my head, then took a bite. "Mikey said we could come over at 1"
"Oh, so we have four hours til we have to leave?" I smirked. Ashton rolled his eyes and nudged my plate.
Ashton and I went on a walk around the neighborhood, then came home to get ready to go to Michael and Crystal's.
We were both in the bathroom. I changed into my yellow strapless bikini as Ashton tossed in his black Hurley trunks and a black tank top. I quickly put on a pair of jean shorts and a tank top over my bathing suit then pulled my hair up.
"Ready?" Ashton asked, coming around the back of me and kissing the side of my neck.
"Yeah. Did you grab towels?" I smiled, turning on Ashton's arms to face him. He nodded and pecked my lips.

We got to Michael's and Ashton parked on the street behind Calum. Luke's car was in front of Calum's which meant Ash and I were the last to arrive.
Ashton got out and came around and opened my door for me. I wait for him to do that now because he got mad the last time I opened the door, saying, and I quote: "Don't open your door. That's my job".
I quickly got out and grabbed our bag that had our towels and spare clothes in them, then we walked up the driveway. Ashton entered the gate code and held it open and we headed into the backyard.
"Hannah!" I heard all three girls yell and I was attacked in a hug.
"Let us see the ring!" Sierra squealed. I laughed and held my hand out. I heard Ashton laugh then saw the guys high five him.
"It's gorgeous" Grace smiled. I nodded and we walked to our boyfriends.
"Let's get in" Crystal announced. We all stripped our clothes and headed towards the pool.
Us girls relaxed, standing around talking and drinking White Claw as the guys acted like children, trying to drown each other. A few minutes later, the boys were making their way to us. Ashton leaned back on the wall and pulled my body against his. He had his legs bent and I sat back on them, my back flush against his chest.
"Oh god," Calum rolled his eyes and pulled Grace into his side, "You two aren't going to be all over each other now, are you? I mean having Crystal and Mike all touchy is enough" he groaned.
"Leave 'em alone Cal" Grace lightly hit his chest.
We all started into conversation until around 4:00 when the boys got out and went to get dinner ready- Michael grilling while the kit her three went in the house to do everything else.
****
Dinner ended up being great. It can get questionable when we let the guys do it. But, everything turned out fine.
When it got dark, we all got out of our wet bathing suits and into shorts and hoodies to go sit by the fire Michael and the boys were building.
The girls and I came out of the house and headed towards the fire pit. I took a seat next to Ashton, wrapping my arms around his one and holding it in front of me to keep myself warm. Ashton chuckled at my attempt and removed his arm from my hold, draping it behind me and resting his hand right above my hip to keep me close to his side.
"This whole pandemic thing has been crazy" Sierra spoke from Luke's side,
"Yeah" Calum sighed, "I'm sad we had to cancel the tour but I think it was good for us"
"Well, us girls enjoyed it because that meant we had you all home" Crystal smiled,
"It was good for us," Ashton said, looking down at me, "We've both been so busy lately, Hannah with school and me with the band, but this has allowed us to be together"
"I agree" I smiled and pecked his lips, "Although it kinda sucked to graduate, it was nice that Ashton was there when I did have my graduation"
"And you're engaged" Grace smirked,
"And I'm engaged" I laughed.
"See the reason we had to shut down sucked, but it had a lot of good outcomes and we got to step back and take time to see what was really important" Luke nodded,
"Agreed" Michael confirmed, "But, I hope we don't have another pandemic anytime soon"
And with that, we all laughed and closed out our night talking about how grateful we were for our health and the time that we got to connect to those who we love deeply.
