Ashton's PoV:
Waking up at 5:00 in the morning was not the highlight of my day. I had spent the night at Calum's house and both of us were slightly cranky as we started to get ready.
I checked my phone to see that Carter hadn't responded after I had texted her back last night. I didn't expect her to but it was sweet of her to text me goodnight and also her comment on my Instagram post made me happy.
I left my phone on the counter of Calum's bathroom while I got ready and my phone started to ring a little after 5:30; it was Carter.
"Hey baby." I answered, putting the call on speaker and setting it on the counter.
"Morning." She said softly and I could just imagine her with that sleepy little smile on her face.
"Good morning to you too." I chuckled. "How did you sleep?"
"Okay. I was cold." She replied.
"You're always cold." I retorted.
"I know, but I was colder." She giggled and a wide smile broke out on my face.
"Well I'll be home to keep you warm tonight."
"Good." She laughed.
"You know, I could really go for some of your coffee right now."
"Is that your code word for sex?" Calum asked as he walked in the bathroom, my hand hitting the side of his head.
"What?" Carter asked confused.
"Nothing, Calum is being annoying." I rolled my eyes and Calum winked at me in the mirror.
"Okay." She laughed. "Well I just wanted to call you before you left for the interview."
"You just want to hear me talk about you on the radio." I joked causing her to giggle.
"Oops, you caught me."
I let out a breathy laugh. "I love you."
"I love you too." She said back. "I can't wait to hear you."
"Give the kids hugs for me."
"I will." She promised. "I'll see you tonight."
"You certainly will."
We said goodbye and then hung up, me setting my phone back down on the counter.
"You guys are so cute it's disgusting." Calum scoffed next to me and I laughed, still smiling from talking with Car and grabbed my toothbrush so I could brush my teeth to finish getting ready.
The car that was taking us to the radio station arrived after I had stolen a crappy cup of coffee from Calum's house, Michael and Luke already inside.
"Sup guys?" I asked as I climbed in, taking a seat in the middle row next to Calum.
"Morning." Michael waved.
"Hey." Luke nodded.
We were pretty quiet on our way over to the station except I filmed an Instagram video to tell the fans what we were doing and to tune in since I liked to keep them updated.
When we pulled up to the radio station there were already girls waiting outside for us, so we took a few pictures with them on our way in and then met the hosts for the show who were named Stacey and Ron.
The guys and I took seats around the semi circle desk across from the co-hosts, laughing with each other and making jokes like we always did.
I felt a little anxious knowing that Carter was listening, but also excited for her to see part of what I did.
