it's complicated // a.i

forty five

Laying in a tangle of bedsheets and bath robes, I smiled to myself. Ashton's head was resting on my chest, his hair tickling at my chin. I stroked it carefully, feeling each individual curl on my finger tips. The only sound that was audible was our beating hearts.

'You okay?' Ashton asked, moving his head up so he could look at me.

'Yeah...' I breathed, smiling and closing my eyes. I felt Ashton put his head in his original position, his hair tickling my chin once again. The doorbell sounded, making us both jump. Ashton groaned as he got up from his position, the cold chill spreading my body. He pulled a pair of shorts over his hips and made his way to the front door. I looked in Ashton's drawers in search for some clothes. I found a pair of tracksuit bottoms and picked out an MTV burger shirt. I dressed myself before joining Ashton downstairs. The food had finally arrived an hour after we ordered and Ashton was dishing it up in separate bowls.

'Here, let me help you.' I smiled, taking a couple of plates from the counter and taking them through to the dining room.

'I got the rest. Sit your sexy ass down.' Ashton chuckled, putting bowls of food on the table before pushing his hands on my hips and kissing me. I did as I was told and sat down to the table. Ashton brought through the rest of the food along with two glasses and a bottle of wine.

'Ashton I'm not supposed to drink.' I warned him.

'Neither am I.' He laughed, opening the bottle. He poured half a glass each before placing the cork back in the bottle and sliding it across to the other end of the table. He lifted his glass up.

'To relaxing.' Ashton smiled. I lifted my glass up and touched it against his. A ring of sound echoed from the two glasses.

'To relaxing.' I repeated, bringing the glass to my lips. The red liquid was heavy and acidic in my mouth. I pulled a face as I swallowed it, making Ashton laugh.

'So that's a no on the wine front?' I nodded, my face scrunched up.

'You're too adorable.' Ashton giggled, taking my hand in his and using his thumb to make small circles.

'Lets eat, I'm starving!' I exclaimed, reaching for the noodles.

'Yeah, sex does make you hungry.' Ashton muttered.

'Shush now, honey. The food is calling to me.' I whispered, taking a forkful of noodles in my mouth. There was an explosion of flavours as I tucked into my meal. No words were uttered until we were finished.

'My god, I think I'm about to explode.' I giggled, sitting back in the chair and rubbing my belly.

'Hey! You can't just steal all of my clothes!' Ashton whined, finally noticing. 'I won't have anything to wear at this rate.'

'I'll give it back, I just didn't want to put my shitty uniform on again.' I retorted.

'I'm only kidding. I like it when you wear my clothes.' He murmured. I took a couple of plates out into the kitchen, running the hot tap ready to wash up.

'We can do that later.'

'No, Irwin. I don't want your mum coming home to mess.' I said strongly. Ashton gave in and brought out the rest of the plates. As I started to wash up the meal, Ashton's hands wound round my waist, squeezing me tight.

'You okay, babe?' I asked him, looking over at his face on my shoulders. He was breathing deeply.

'You smell so good.' He smiled into my shoulder, taking a deep breath again.

'I should smell like you.' I giggled, draining the sink and grabbing a towel.

'No, you smell like sex.' Ashton growled. I felt my face flush a deep shade of pink as he kissed my neck.

'Ashton...' I whined, turning around to look at him.

'What? Why are you embarrassed?' Ashton asked, confused.

'I don't want you going on about it to the boys. It's a private thing and I want it kept between us.' I turned around and looked into his eyes, holding onto his arms. Ashton smiled, kissing my nose.

'Whatever makes you comfortable, Jessica.' I pushed my forehead onto his as we stood in the embrace for a few moments.

'But seriously though, you do smell like sex. May I suggest a shower before you go home to your parents?' He giggled. I slapped his arm before walking up the stairs. Ashton followed, grabbing hold of my hips and picking me up. He swung me around before throwing me down into the rucked up bed. We were both laughing as he fell on top of me. His lips touched mine lightly before I swatted him off.

'Stop, I need to shower.' I stood up and walked into the bathroom, stripping away the clothes in my body. I fiddled with the shower controls and stepped in, letting the water fall over my body. I dried myself and dressed back in Ashton's tracksuit bottoms and MTV top. As I went back into Ashton's room, he was sat on his bed concentrating on a packet of something.

'What have you got there?' I asked, kneeling on the bed behind him and wrapping my arms around his waist, resting my head on his shoulder.

'This is one of the things I stole from Lauren. I'm just reading the instructions.' I took the packet from his hands and looked at it. It was a peel-off face mask. I squealed a little before sitting cross legged and opening the packet excitedly. Ashton sat cross legged in front of me, laughing a little.

'I love these! Here, hold this in front of me.' I gave Ashton a mirror and positioned it. I looked a mess.

'Shit, I didn't realise how ugly I looked.' I mumbled.

'What are you talking about? You're beautiful, even if you do have a bit of bed hair.' Ashton giggled. I kissed his lips before applying the mask to my skin.

'Now we wait for 15 to 20 minutes.' I informed Ashton, stretching my back out a bit.

'Want another massage?' Ashton asked. I nodded eagerly.

'Lie down on the bed.' He instructed. I led on my stomach as Ashton straddled my hips, sitting himself on the small of my back. He lifted the MTV shirt and began smoothing his hands perfectly along my back. I was on the brink of falling asleep when a small kiss was planted on my back. Another was planted on the side of my neck.

'Ashton.' I murmured.

'Hmm?' The vibrations from his voice was sent through my neck.

'Let me peel this mask off now.'

'Why? It hasn't been 20 minutes yet.'

'Because I think I'm going to explode if I don't kiss you right now.'
