for her

22

I fell asleep in Ashton's arms, nothing more comfortable than that feeling.

I woke up to my alarm- immediately whining as I turned it off.

"No" Ashton whined out as I sat up, feeling him pull me back down to him.

"We have to go to work" I spoke tiredly, feeling him hum.

"We can both just call in at different times, cuddle and watch movies all day, make out a few times" he spoke, and the invitation was more than tempting.

"I've only been an intern for like a month, I can't call in" I spoke firmly, standing, feeling a firm snack to my butt as I did.

"Ashton!" I yelled out, turning and seeing a prominent smirk on his lips

"What happened?" He asked innocently.

I went into the bathroom, brushing my teeth and combing my hair out before throwing on a pair of scrubs, pulling my hair into a neat bun.

I put on a little make up as Ashton stumbled in, groaning the entire time.

He gently kissed my cheek before grabbing his toothbrush- which now had its own spot beside mine.

I grabbed us both granola and water, hanging them to him as he met me in the kitchen, watching him smile.

"I could get so used to this" he spoke, pecking my lips gently.

"See you at work, Doctor Irwin" I spoke as I grabbed my keys.

"Very well, Doctor Johnson"

I drove to work, singing along to my music, immediately going to the locker rooms.

I put my bag down, letting out a stretch before shutting and locking my locker.

"How was your night?" Stapleton asked, opening the locker next to mine.

"It was fine- yours?" I asked.

"I made myself a grilled cheese, took a shower and fell asleep on my couch- I could say successful" he laughed out, making me smile.

"I'm glad"

Thankfully, Ashton came in with his hard demeanor, looking to the five of us.

"Come on, rounds."

We went through all of our patients rooms, checking each of them, diagnosing some.

Not to brag, but I was still the best when it came to diagnosing.

"And now we have time to chill- no new cases. Go to the on call rooms and relax- rest, but if you are paged, I better see you where you're paged to." Ashton spoke firmly.

I walked to the on call rooms, feeling them following me- hearing their discussion about a patient.

I laid in the bed assigned to me, covering myself up before exhaling.

I charged my phone, texting Maddie and apologizing for leaving Cleo overnight, asking if she would tell Cleo that I love her

I had just drifted to sleep, and it a good, deep sleep

Until my pager went off, along with Stapleton.

We both sat up in unison, stumbling against each other as we made our way to the door, checking the page- seeing the orthopedic wing.

Him and I jogged to it- clear to both of us that we were both sleeping good.

"Sorry, did I wake you two?" Michael laughed, him and Ashton smiling together.

"You did" Stapleton admitted.

"Well, I was thinking that you guys would like to set some bones"

Certainly.
