99- Some Privacy

Ashley Walters pov

Technically Aniya had the biggest bed among US. But I preferred to spend the night on MY bed.

Aniya poked an elbow in my tummy when she thought no one was watching, "Hmm. Small bed!" She wiggled her brows, "so that you can stay closer to him. Ooh... glued to him." She winked cockily and I had to control the smile that was not leaving my lips.

All I could do was kick her leg under the table.

After Eve served US beer cans we chatted until I could no longer stop yawning. Without waiting for a minute, Justin got to his feet and pulled me up.

"It's time to go to bed, kitten." He circled his arm around me.

"He is right," Eve nodded, "Good night, Ash. Good night, Justin."

"Night!" we responded to her.

Once inside the bedroom, I looked at my not too small but not too spacious enough bed that could hardly accommodate Justin and me.

Unless we would decide to snuggle.

I heard him sighing beside me, "I can use the couch, love. Don’t worry."

"No, no. You can use the bed and I can...." He didn't let me finish.

"Nah! Rubbish. The couch is perfect for me!"

"B...But how would you fit here ...."

"Shh..." he pulled me to him until my chest bumped into his hard body,"

Two years back... I had the biggest bed in my bedroom, yet you used a mattress in the corner of my room. If you can do it, why can't I?"

I could detect regret on his face.

"Whatever is done is done, Justin. No need to cry over spilled milk," I said holding his arms, "I urge you to sleep on the bed. The couch is perfect according to my height

But he stubbornly shook his head, 'That's not happening, Ash. Either let me sleep beside you. We had already slept, snuggled to each other." Chewing my inner cheek, I tried to hide the blush that crept on my cheeks.

Smacking his lips to my forehead, he went to the bathroom and that reminded me that he didn't have extra clothes with him.

Now, what should I do?
