Ashley POV:

I woke up in a bed that definitely wasn’t mine. I looked around and didn’t recognize anything. It was a very pretty bedroom, though. I stepped out of the bed and saw I was wearing a dress. Oh yeah, the date with Alex! I figured this was his bedroom, but I had no idea how the hell I got here. The alarm clock at the nightstand indicated that it was a little past 9 am. I decided to go find Alex somewhere in this giant house. I walked down the stairs and heard some music. I followed the sound and found Alex in the kitchen, making breakfast. He was singing along with the radio and hadn’t noticed me standing in the doorway. “Good morning.” I said while I walked over to him. He looked up and smiled. “Good morning, did you sleep well?” “Yes I did. I don’t remember falling asleep in your bedroom though.” I sat down on a chair. “That’s because you didn’t. You fell asleep on the roof, and I didn’t want to wake you. So I dragged you to my bedroom and let you sleep.” My thoughts went back to last night. The rooftop, the lights, the stars, the kiss.. “That’s really sweet.” “I hope you’re hungry, cause I made the famous Gaskarth pancakes for you.” I smiled and he grabbed two plates, glasses and cutlery.

“How come you’re up so early?” I asked him while we ate. I remember whenever I came over before noon in the weekends, he was still asleep. “The couch is nothing compared with my bed. Do you want orange juice, milk, water or something else?” “Milk, please. And you shouldn’t have slept on the couch for me.” He rolled his eyes. “Oh please, do you really think I’m letting my guests sleep on the couch?” I shrugged. “I wouldn’t mind.”

“Do you maybe have something I can wear?” I asked him after we finished breakfast. He took my hand and we went back upstairs to his bedroom. He looked in his closet and gave me a t-shirt of him. “Try that one.” He said. I stepped out of the dress and tried on the shirt he gave me. Alex took a few steps forward and leaned in to kiss me. His tongue touched my lips and I opened my mouth. Our tongues started playing the same game as yesterday and the butterflies were once again fluttering through my stomach. This kiss was more intense, and I liked it. We fell on his bed and I ran my hands through his hair. I felt something buzz against my leg and Alex ended the kiss. “Alex.” He answered his phone. “Fuck I forgot. Yeah, okay. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” He gave me a kiss on my forehead. “I’m sorry, that was Rian. We have band practice and I totally forgot about it.” He walked back to his closet and handed me some sweatpants of his. “Don’t be sorry.” I smiled and put on the pants. “Thank you, for the best first date ever.” I whispered in his ear and kissed his cheek. He smiled and gave me a kiss. “C’mon, I’ll drive you home.”
