RECAP:

"What do you mean, that type of girl?" I questioned, generally curious by what he meant.

He didn't answer my question so I turned back towards Josie, my back facing Ashton.

"I think that he is trying to say that you have standards, in his weird Ashton way." She offered me a smile but I don't care what he thinks.

That seems like a him problem.

Ethan came down with more drinks and Josie and I talked until the sun was replaced with a beatiful full moon.

I could get used to this, I thought.

The evening passed by quickly, Josie and Ashton's mum cooked us some delicious tomato pasta, with the promise that she was going to make us a french breakfast in the morning.

We settled down for the night in the Movie room and began to watch 'Bird box' on Netflix, despite Josie's wishes to watch '365 DNI'.The girl hadn't changed.

There were two sofas in the room and due to Ethan and Josie sharing a huge tub of Ben and Jerry's, I seated myself next to Ashton who was staring intently at his phone.

We were about half an hour into the movie when my eyes felt heavy. I soon decided to rest my head on a nearby pillow and let sleep take over me, not too bothered about the movie as I had already watched it an unhealthy amount of times.

I blinked a few times to adjust to the darkness in the room. Attempting to get up, I pushed my body off the sofa. I couldn't see very well due to the lack of light, but pulled out my phone from my pocket when it read 3:46am. Shit.

In the tour that I was given earlier this afternoon, I had placed my bag in one of the houses' spare rooms. New challenge: trying to find that spare room.

I was surprised when I stood up and a fluffy blanket was covering me. I don't remember falling asleep with a blanket.

A loud snore stopped me from sneaking out of the room. I froze as I didn't want to wake whoever it was. I flicked on my phone's flashlight because curiosity got the better of me.The last thing that I expected was to reveal a very cuddled-up Ethan and Josie.

A huge smile made its way onto my face when I knew what I needed to do.

Opening up my phone's camera,I took a couple of photos of the two of them. I can't deny how cute they looked. Ethan had always acted like a big brother to Josie because Ashton wasn't often there to fill that title, so I knew that it was nothing romantic.

Josie's head was on his chest and her arms were wrapped around him. Ethan's head rested on Josie's and he had an arm on the small of her back.

They are such goals.

I made my way into the hall, but not before placing the blanket on the two of them. There were around 3 doors on each side of the walls and they all looked the exact same. Great.

Knowing that the one at the end belonged to their parents,I made a mental note to avoid checking in there.

I checked the entire left wall, only to find that the first one was Josie's, second was a spare room and third was Ethan's.

It was before I opened the first door on the right wall that I realised one of these was going to be Ashton's and the other was mine.

I took a deep breath, praying to god that this was my room.

The handle creaked down and I peaked into the room, like the rest of the house. It was simply decorated but I couldn't see beyond that due to it being pitch black.

I remained still for a minute listening if there was any noise that could give away someone's presence.

The room was so quiet you would be able to hear a pin drop.

Taking my chances and deciding that this must be my room, I began to change into my white silk pyjamas, preparing myself for a good night's sleep.

I was pulling my shirt over my head when the door swung open. And there stood a bare chested Ashton in all of his glory dressed in some grey joggers and a glass of water in his hands.

At this point, I didn't care to feel embarrassed as I was purely focused on the butterflies arrupting in my stomach.

"I'm sorry, we have to stop meeting like this." I commented and grabbed my bikini and coverup from the floor before making my way to the door.

Ashton stood in the way of the door, a small smile tugging at the side of his lips. Although it was the middle of the night, the only thing that was different was his dirty blonde hair, which now had become somewhat messy.

"You're cute when you're flustered." He said looking into my eyes, I had to look at him through my lashes due to his height. His comment undeniably sent shivers down my spine, but I knew his ways and I wasn't the same shy girl that he once knew very well.

"How many girls has that worked on?" I asked with a scoff.

"All but the one that I wanted it to work on." He replied, confidence radiating from him.

Not being able to take anymore of his behaviour, I walked beneath his arm that he had rested on the door frame and rolled my eyes.

I was getting ready to walk Into the other room along the corridor, when a hand grabbed my wrist.

In one smooth motion, Ashton turned me around so that I was being pressed against the wall with his body firmly positioned against my back. Not denying the way my body became hot under his touch.

"This is for shutting the door on me earlier." He paused when he noticed me visibly shudder under his voice and a glint of lust was visible in his eyes. He loosened his grip on me but stayed at our close proximity, before leaning into my neck. "Oh and becca? Next time I find you half naked in my room, It won't be because you're in the wrong place." He whispered sensually before leaving a single kiss on my skin and walking into his room.
