Why is it so cold?????

Grabbing the blanket, I wrap it around myself and get out of bed. Ashton is asleep on the other side of the mattress.

Where's Laura?

Looking around the room in a groggy state, I notice the balcony door is open slightly. I force myself to get up and walk outside. On the balcony I see Andrei and Laura asleep. She's laying on his chest and he has his arms around her in a protective manner.

No. Fucking. Way.

I quickly walk back inside to get my phone and wake Ashton up. I violently shake his shoulder saying "Wake up. Wake up. Wake up."

"What?!" He snaps, opening his eyes as he lays on his stomach

"Andrei and Laura are cuddling on the balcony" I tell him with wide eyes

Ashton shoots up out of bed, almost falling over his own feet. I follow him outside, making sure to be quiet because Laura is a light sleeper.

"That whore" Ashton whispers with a grin, shaking his head

I slap my hand over my mouth to stop the laughter bubbling in my chest. "What do you think happened for them to end up like this?" I ask quietly

He shrugs not meeting my gaze. I take a photo of them on the couch and then a selfie with the two of them in the background. Ashton gets in the frame next to me for another selfie.

Turning back so we are facing them, I comment "It's nice seeing her open up to people, even if it's just being comfortable with sleeping around them."

Ashton smiles and nods his head in agreement. "This last week has been stressful for her. I'm just glad she's sleeping" He says

"Same" I agree

"What time is it?" Ash asks, holding his hand like a visor to block the sunlight

Looking at my phone, "10:30" I reply

"We haven't slept that long in a while" He says messing with his hair

I let out a yawn, "For real." Ashton's gaze turns cold as he looks at Laura. I turn to see them and notice how Laura is wearing shorts.

"Shit" We say in unison. "You think he knows?" I ask in a hushed tone

Ash teeters his head. "Possibly. Laura is only covering them for her family's sake. She probably doesn't care if Andrei knows."

"Should we wake them up? I'm hungry" I comment rubbing my shirtless stomach

"She's gonna get annoyed at you, but by all means...wake up the devil." He replies with a sarcastic smirk

Please don't smack me Laura.

I walk over to them, hearing Andrei's light snores. I sit beside Andrei and start brushing Laura's hair out of her face. "Baby you need to wake up" I tell her in a soft voice
