Soon after I and Amy had made love, I had left her in bed, in the bedroom of the dressing room. She was fast asleep and I didn’t want to disturb her. After all, I and the lads were only going for a sound check for tomorrow’s show. We shouldn’t be long, so I hope that I am back for Amy before she wakes up.

Amy’s POV:

Smiling, groaning and rolling over, I open my eyes to see Aston. However, my smile fades as I only get an empty side of the bed. Shooting upwards, I glance at the clock and it’s half eight at night. Where could have he gone at this time? Grabbing my phone, I dial Aston’s number and wait for him to pick up... “Hello,” he answers after a few rings of the phone, “where are you?” I ask quietly, “aww no, you’re awake. I’m at sound check at the moment, we should be back shortly. I was hoping to get back to you before you woke up,” he says softly and sounds upset, “no worries. I just got a little concerned since you weren’t in the bed,” I say softly but he sighs “sorry baby, I’ll be back before you know it,” “Ast! Come on!” I hear Marvin in the background. “Ah baby, I need to go. I’ll be back in ten minutes,” he says “okay, please come back soon, I miss you,” “I miss you too baby,” and then we hang up. Placing my phone back onto the bed side table, I then snuggle myself under the sheets since the room is a little chilly.

I must have fallen asleep, because when I wake up, Aston is next to me, propped up on his left elbow, watching me sleep. “Hello beautiful,” he whispers and then leans over to me to plant a kiss onto my lips, “hey,” I whisper back and then snuggle myself into his chest, “did I fall asleep?” “Must have done, I’d come back and you were sleeping. So I’ve been watching you for the past ten minutes,” he says softly and I smile “oh,” I say quietly. “So how was sound check?” “Good, there’s another one tomorrow and then the next London performance,” he says and kisses my forehead, “oh good,” I reply which makes him chuckle deliciously in his throat while he tightens his grip around me, and “I’ve got you a VIP seat too,” he whispers and plants a kiss onto the top of my head, “really?” I gasp and look up to him “uh huh,” “oh you’re the best,” I say delightfully and place a kiss onto his neck. His arms wrap a little tighter around me and before I had even realized that I was tired, I’d fallen asleep in his arms, but the thing is... I had no idea what was waiting for us tomorrow.
