During the entire car ride Ashton keeps his hand on my upper thigh, occasionally kissing my cheek or ear, whispering random things into it. We get to the hotel and he gives my thigh a final squeeze before we get out of the car. I blush and he grabs my hand, pulling me out of the car rather quickly.
The guys grab their bags as Ashton quickly goes to the reception and gets the key-card from the woman. He pulls me to the elevator and presses the 'up' button. We wait patiently as he wraps his hand around my waist and pulls me to his side.
He leans in and whispers into my ear. "I'm so glad we have the room to ourselves tonight." I blush and turn to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and look at him.
"Me too." I smile at him as he leans down and kisses me slowly.
We're both smiling into the kiss until Michael shouts from behind us. "Get a room!"
Ashton turns to him as the elevator opens and pulls me in.
"Already on it." He shouts back to the 3, well 2, chuckling boys. I giggle and the door closes. He puts the key-card into the slot and presses the '18' button. He then pulls me towards him by the hips. We kiss again and I rest my hands on his neck. He slowly walks me to the wall of the elevator and leans me against it. He walks me until my back is firmly up against the wall and I can't go any further. He moves his hands under my shirt, onto my bare skin and roams my back and hips. The kiss becomes more passionate and he starts to move his lips down to my neck. I lean my head back and hear the 'ding' from the elevator. He groans against my skin and pushes back against the wall, freeing me from my trap.
"What? You didn't expect to do it in here did you?" I ask him, mocking him slightly. He rolls his eyes at me and grabs my hand as we walk out of the elevator.
We search for our room and find it at the end of the hall. "Good, no distractions." He says as he inserts the key-card into the slot. I smile knowing he's right and we walk into the room.
He drops his bag by the door as I walk to the queen-size bed in the room. I jump on it with and laugh as I bounce and I lay down. He walks towards the bed and leans against the wall staring at me. I sit up and look at the boy in front of me. "It's so nice having a proper bed again. Don't get me wrong, the bus is great and all but there's something nice about having a giant thing to yourself and not being crammed up into one tiny space." He raises his eyebrows and crosses his arms.
"All to yourself?"
"Well..." I smile at him.
"So you want to sleep all alone?" He says slowly walking towards the bed.
"Hmmmm..." I say, pretending to think about it. He crawls on top of me and looks me in the eyes.
"Do I need to convince you?"
"I don't know, maybe."
"Well, let see. When you sleep alone, you have lots of space to yourself."
"That's true."
"But, you might get cold."
"Hmmm, good point. And what else?" I ask cheekily. He smirks and says,
"Well, lets say you're sleeping with someone. Hypothetically, lets just say me for example."
"Mmhmm." I say, tangling my fingers in his hair, just playing with the tips.
"Hypothetically, I could keep you warm, and cuddle you..."
"And..." I say as his hazel eyes glance to my lips.
"...And, I can do this," he leans down and pecks my lips. "or this," my jaw, "or this," my neck. He keeps placing kisses around my face and moves his hands up and down my sides. He finally says "but most importantly, this." and attacks my lips. I smile and immediately kiss him back, pulling him closer by his hair. His hands move under my shirt again and this time there's no holding back. I tug at the hem of his shirt and he takes the hint and pulls it off, only momentarily leaving my lips. His hands go back to my sides and he pulls my shirt up a little. I pull it up all the way and throw it across the room. He smiles and reattaches his lips to mine. I wrap my legs around his back and pull him closer, if that was possible. He moans a little and slips his tongue into my mouth, receiving a moan back from me. My hands are pressed to his back, slightly pressing my nails into it, encouraging him. His hands are all over my body. My hips, sides, back, stomach, thighs, everywhere. He grabs my thighs and holds them tightly as I keep them around his back. His lips move quickly down my neck and to my stomach, kissing me on my belly button, causing me to shiver. I'm out of breath but I can't stop. I don't. He kisses the button of my jeans lightly and looks up at me, asking for my approval to continue. I smile a little and he brings his hands up to unbutton them. I slip them off, a little awkwardly because its nearly impossible to take of skinny jeans seductively, and he throws them on the floor. He comes back up to my mouth and kisses me full of passion.
"I love you, so freaking much." He says breathlessly against my mouth.
I smile. "You're just saying that because I'm lying here in my bra and underwear." Of course I'm joking but I just want to see his reaction.
"What! No! Of course not! I love you because you are sweet, funny, beautiful—"
"I'm just kidding, I love you too."
His face relaxes and he smiles. "Fuck you."
"That's the plan isn't it?" I smirk. He looks down at me and nods, immediately re-connecting our lips. His hands travel down my body and stop at my hips. He leaves my mouth and leaves light kisses on my knees, slowly working his way up.
Before he gets to close I suck in some air and hear him whisper "Yes."
Afterwards, Ash roles me over on my back so that his bare torso is leaning up against mine. He kisses me lightly on the forehead and rolls over on his back so that he can wrap his arms around me, pulling me in close. I take in a deep breath and rest my head in the crink of his neck.
"You worn out babe?" Ashton says giggling. I look up at him and give him a grin.
"No. If anyone should be worn out it's you. You just did a show." I say.
"I'm wide awake." he replies kissing my cheek. There is a knock at the door and Ash gets up and throws on some clothes lying on the top layer of his opened suitcase. I hear another knock at the door.
"Ashton!" Calum says loudly through the door.
"Coming!" Ashton says back. I pull the sheets over my body and I sit up against the headboard. Ash answers the door and Calum walks right in and sits down at the chair next to the television. He looks at me and then at Ashton and smiles. I look over at Ash and see the annoyance in his face.
"Soooo what are you guys doin'?" Calum asks cheekily. Ashton says nothing for a while and there is an awkward silence in the room. I decide to speak up,
"We were just-"
"None of your business. What are you doing here Cal?" Ashton says running his fingers through his curls in frustration.
"The other guys fell asleep and I'm not tired so I thought you guys would be up and you are so-"
"So?" Ashton asks.
"So, you are up and I just thought maybe we could chill for a bit." Calum says smiling. Ashton turns and looks at me. I nod my head at him and smile.
"Ashton will you go to the vending machine down the hall and get me some water please?" I ask shyly.
"Of course babe." Ashton says and he turns and looks at Calum "No funky business." Ash says smiling.
"Don't worry. My legs are crossed." Calum says crossing his legs and throwing his hands up in the air. Ash and I both chuckle and Ashton leaves the room.
After he leaves I realize I am stuck under the covers, with no clothes, and Calum sitting in the room. My face becomes hot and I can feel myself becoming red.
"Ummm Calum?" I say quietly. He looks up from his phone
"Yeah?" he says cheerfully.
"Ummm... I- umm... well here's the thing, I'm not really wearing-"
"Oh!" Calum says cutting me off. He scratches the back of his neck.
"Yeah... So could you hand me my pj's from my suitcase?" I ask.
"Yeah." Calum walks over to my suitcase and unzips it. He starts pulling out clothes trying to find my pj's. I cross my fingers he doesn't find my bras.
"Listen about Luke-" He starts
"Calum I don't want to talk about it. Things are settled and I don't want to start up more trouble." I say.
"It's gonna take alot more than some interview to settle things-"
"Calum."
"I'm on Luke's side. Someone has to be. I want to see Ash happy but I don't want to see Luke sad." Calum says as he gets up and hands me an oversized shirt and pj shorts. "I'm sorry. I just had to say my part." Calum says.
"It's okay, I understand you care about him alot and I care about him too-" I stop talking when I hear the loud slams of footsteps running down the hallway. Then suddenly Ashton crashes his way into the room.
"Wait! Dani I'm sorry. I-" he takes a deep breath inbetween his sentence, "you're not wearing-" He stops. "any-" he breathes again. "clothes." Calum and I start to laugh at Ash. He just now realized I wasn't wearing any clothes before he left me in a room alone with Calum? I smile to myself. At least he remembered and cared enough to come back. I see Ashton hunched over with his hands on his knees and his head facing the floor. I see his back move up and down with every breath he takes.
"Well I guess our rendezvous will have to be postponed Daniella. Your boyfriend almost caught us in the act." Calum says winking at me.
"Shutup Calum." Ashton says still out of breath and giggling.
"How could you leave me all alone in this room naked with another man!" I yell at him jokingly. Ashton lifts up from his position and walks over to me.
"Hey you wanted the water babe." Ashton says looking at Calum smiling.
"And where is my water?" I ask raising an eyebrow.
"Oh. Well, I didn't really get you any because on my way down I realized that you were ummm... well you know, so I turned around and ran as fast as I could back up here." Ashton says rubbing the back of his neck.
"So you're telling me you left me all alone and you didn't even get me my water?" I say smiling.
"I'm sorry babe. How could I ever make this right again?" Ashton says leaning towards me.
"I know." I say as I pull him in and kiss him. He props me up and I hold tight to the sheets so that they don't come down. He moves his hands onto my back and I wrap my one free hand around him.
"Okay then. This was great. I'm happy to see you guys have an active sexual life now. That's always good for a relationship. So I'm sure Luke and Michael are feeling lonely so I'm just gonna set your pj's here and I'm gonna go." Calum says awkwardly as he places my clothes on the armrest of the chair and he backs up to leave the room. Right before he leaves Calum whispers "Stop fooling around and get some sleep." Without looking Ashton grabs a pillow and throws it at the door and Calum closes it right on time to avoid it. I hear his laughter from outside and I hear him walk away.
"Idiots. Every single one of them." Ashton says getting up from the bed and handing me my pj's.
"Then why do you hang out with them?" I say laughing.
"Eh. We're kind of in a band together. So I kinda have to. Plus they would be lost without me and to be honest I'd be lost without them." Ashton says smiling as he takes his shirt off over his head and he lifts the covers and gets into bed. I put on the shirt and I throw on a pair of underwear and I crawl into bed next to him. He lies down and I rest my head against his chest and I feel his heart beating.
"Would you be lost without me?" I say looking up at him.
"It's like this one shitty band once said babe. Without you I'm a lost boy." He says as he kisses me on the forehead. I blush and I move my head up and kiss his lips.
"I think I know that band. Yeah I think the love of my life is in that band." I say kissing him on the cheek. I see his smile grow and his face become red. I turn so that my back is against his bare chest and he wraps his arm around me, holding me close. He rests his head on the back of my neck so that I can feel his steady breaths on the back of my ears and his curls tickle my skin.
"I love you." Ashton says as he kisses the back of my head. We don't say anything for a long while until we both drift off to sleep.
