Chapter 153
Ashton's PoV:
Ender and I moved about the room, packing up our suitcases.
"Dad, how many socks do I need to bring?"
"One pair for each day we're gone and then bring a few extra." I said and he nodded.
I was folding my jeans when my phone rang and I looked to see it was Ari calling me.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey. Is Carter with you?"
"No she's in LA."
"Oh, okay good. So Jason's uncle just called Jase to say that they finished putting the letter together. He's mailing it back to us and it should be here by the wedding."
I felt the air leave my lungs.
"Are we going to read it?" I asked her.
"It's up to you, but I think we should read it."
"Okay. I guess we'll read it then. Let me know when it gets there. And don't read it without me."
"We'll wait until you get here." She said and then I told her goodbye before hanging up.
Now I wanted to know...what did that letter say?
Carters PoV:
After waking up in the morning I showered and then dressed in shorts and a tee shirt.
I was standing at the sink in the bathroom when Harry walked in.
"Hey." He smiled. "So your idea worked, I slept the whole night. I didn't even feel you leave."
"Yeah, well I fell asleep and woke up with you grasping areas of me that you shouldn't." I replied with a smirk as I turned around to face him.
"Like how?" He chuckled. "Show me."
"Like this." I stepped forward and he placed his hand on my thigh before wrapping his hand around it and pulling it up to wrap around his hip.
"If you were my girlfriend this is how I would sleep with you." He said and I rolled my eyes before moving back.
"As inappropriate as that statement was, I agree that you do need a girlfriend."
"I'm working on it." He said.
"Do you have someone in mind?" I laughed as I turned back to the mirror.
"I do." He said in a quieter voice and after that it was silent.
He stood there awkwardly in the bathroom with me for a few more minutes until he looked at his phone and told me we needed to leave soon.
At that point I went to get Gracie up and dressed before packing her a little bag. Harry got Jupiter on his leash and Gracie wanted to walk him outside with Harry while I finished getting our stuff together.
The two came back and Harry showed me the selfie he and Gracie had taken together, and I laughed at their massive grins in the photo.
We then left the hotel to head to the location for today's shoot that was apparently a surprise, and while I sat next to Harry in the car I watched him share his selfie of him and Gracie on Instagram.
'H & G'
I smiled at his caption and he tagged me in the photo as well.
"See, i'm being more personable."
"I'm very proud." I laughed and patted his hand.
"I have some pictures of you last night that I want to post too, but you're nosy and are going to try and watch me post them." He said and I snorted.
"Fine, i'll turn away." I said and turned to Gracie and Jupiter.
"Mommy I want to see...see..."
"See what?" I asked her.
She pointed out the window where I could see the ocean in the distance.
"You want to see the beach?"
"Mhmm." She nodded.
"Okay, well maybe we can go see it after Mommy's done working." I said and she smiled before sucking on the top of her sippy cup.
"We see Daddy today?" She asked next.
"We do get to see Daddy today. He's on the plane right now to come see us."
"Yay!" She cheered.
After a few minutes Harry tapped my shoulder.
"Okay i'm done." He said and I turned back to face him.
"Am I allowed to look?"
"Yes." He smiled and I shook my head at him before looking at my phone to see he had tagged me in many photos.
The first one was one he had taken of me surrounded by my presents. I had my hands under my chin and my cheeks scrunched up as I gave him an angelic, closed lip grin.
The next was of the cake with his message on it that I thought was hilarious.
And lastly he posted the video him shoving my face into the cake.
"I'm still mad at you for that." I said and he laughed.
"It was hilarious. I've never laughed so hard in my life."
"You're horrible."
"Shut up. You love me."
"Hmm. Maybe I do."
"Well I love you." He said and I looked up at in a bit of surprise.
"You love me?"
He looked a bit surprised himself.
"You're my best friend, of course I love you." He said and I smiled at him and reached over to squeeze his hand.
Harry didn't let my hand go for the duration of the car ride and I let him, trying to make sure he knew he wasn't completely alone.
I turned my attention to my phone, messaging Ari about ideas for her bachelorette party, and not a minute later I had another Instagram notification and I opened it to see Harry had shared one more photo, but this time it was of our joined hands.
I shook my head as I chuckled.
He was something else.
After about twenty more minutes in traffic we made it to our destination, one of those classic 50's diners.
"No way." I grinned as we got out of the car.
"Yes way." Harry smiled back. "I knew you'd like this."
"More like love."
He laughed and the two of us walked inside where Becca was waiting with a smirk on her face.
"I see all of your childhood dreams coming true." She giggled when she saw me.
"Im freaking out this is so cool." I hugged her.
"You know whats even cooler?" Harry rhetorically asked. "You are the cover of Teen Vogue next month, this is the shoot for it."
"I'm kind of embarrassed to say I don't know what that is."
"Its a big magazine."
"Oh. Awesome."
Harry laughed and then pushed me into hair and makeup so he could do his manager thing.
Gracie set up her play area in a corner where I could see her while Becca worked her magic, and I smiled at the innocent little four year old as she spun her doll in a circle.
Becca was curling my hair and I was talking to Gracie who had come up to me when suddenly her eyes went wide as she looked behind me and grinned.
"Daddy!"
Becca quickly pulled the curler off my hair so I could turn around to see Ashton picking up a beaming Gracie.
"Hi baby girl!" Ashton hugged her to him, a smile on his lips.
"Car!"
Ender then moved around to me and I captured him in a hug as well.
"Hey love." I kissed his cheek. "Ive missed you."
"Ive missed you too."
I let go of Ender and he went to hug Gracie as I stood up to greet my insanely handsome fiancé.
"Are you in heaven right now?" Ashton chuckled as he pulled me into his embrace. "We pulled up outside and I could only imagine your excitement."
"I am, but i'm even happier now that you're here. Hi."
"Hi." He smiled down at me and then locked his lips to mine.
"I've missed you." I whispered between kisses.
"I've missed you more."
"Not possible."
"It's completely possible."
I chuckled at this and I pulled back so I could look at his face.
"I know, I need to shave." He said and I opened my mouth in surprise.
"I didn't even say anything. Besides, you look good."
"I could see it in your eyes."
"Mmm, that's not what I was thinking. Don't confuse my unimpressed face with my lust face."
His eyes went wide at this and then he burst into hearty laughter.
"You're so sassy."
"You love it." I grinned up at him cheesily and he leaned down to kiss me once more.
"I have breakfast." He said when he pulled back.
"Breakfast!" Gracie gasped happily and Ashton laughed as he picked her up again.
"How's my little munchkin? Have you been having fun with Mommy?" He asked her as he tickled her cheek.
"Mhmm. I play dress up with Mommy." She smiled.
"I know. Do you want to help me get the breakfast I brought for you and Mommy?"
"Mhmm." She nodded, her hands on his chest.
He then took Gracie from the room and Ender came to sit on the counter in front of me while Becca went back to work on my hair.
Ender began to tell me of what I missed in London and a few minutes later Ashton came in with a drink carrier and a large paper bag, Gracie holding one small paper bag in her hands.
"Okay, so you said eggs made you sick and that chicken or meat makes you sick and so does cheese so I got you a sausage egg and cheese biscuit without the sausage egg and cheese."
"So just a biscuit?"
"Yes." He said and handed me the wrapped up bread. He then passed me some coffee and set his food next to mine before giving Ender the bag.
Ender and Gracie went to sit where Gracie's toys were so they could eat while Ashton pulled up a chair next to me.
I managed to get bites in here and there between Becca brushing makeup across my face and a few minutes into Ashton's recap of of their rushed trip to get ready for the plane ride, Harry walked in.
"Hey your bra size is a 36 B right?" He asked as he looked at his phone.
Ashton widened his eyes as I caught his expression in the mirror and then he turned around to look at Harry.
Harry looked up as well and his eyes went wide as well when he saw Ashton.
"Uh..." He let slip out and I glanced back and forth between the two boys.
"Do you want me to leave while you discuss my wife's breasts? Which are none of your god damn business by the way." Ashton asked him sarcastically.
"Sorry I didn't know you were here." Harry muttered.
"Stop it." I said and they both looked at me. "He's my manager, he has to send that information to people so he can get the right sizes for shoots." I directed at Ashton and then looked at Harry. "And those types of questions are not appropriate."
"Sorry." Ashton apologised to me and then turned around but gave Harry a rude look in the mirror that Harry returned.
"I apologise as well." Harry then turned to me.
"It's fine. Now I need to finish getting ready."
Harry nodded and then left the room.
"Does he ask you those types of questions when i'm not here?" Ashton asked me.
"This is the first time." I said. "He didn't mean it to be rude, he needed to know for a shoot. So would you relax please?"
"I'm trying." He mumbled.
I rolled my eyes before reaching over to place my hand on his arm to steady myself as I leaned in closer to press my lips to his ear.
"He may know the size but he will never get to see them, or feel them, or kiss them like you get to..."
He sucked in a breath at this.
"So while you're doing me tonight, remember that I am yours and only yours."
His eyes widened again but I felt him relax and he turned his head to kiss me.
"I sure as hell will."
I smiled and then kissed him once more.
Becca was finally able to finish my hair and makeup and then get me into wardrobe which was black tights with a long tee shirt and a black leather jacket.
"Mommy we play dollies now?" Gracie ran up to me as we were about to leave.
"Oh, baby, Mommy has to go take pictures now." I frowned.
"Here, come with me and we can go watch Mommy take some photos and then we can go play dolls." Ashton said and bent down to pick Gracie up, resting her on his waist.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and then we made our way to the main part of the diner where everything was set up and ready for me to go.
The director instructed me to get on the counter and lay down on my back, bending one leg and then arching my back slightly off the counter.
My hair draped over the side and I put on my most sultry look and closed my eyes, hearing the camera click as my picture was being taken.
Ashton, Gracie, and Ender cheered me on as I was photographed in different places in different poses, and after one shot where I had to act like I was sipping a milkshake, Gracie and Ender drank it.
This meant by the end of the shoot they were both hyped up on sugar.
Ashton and I left with the kids to then go dress shopping for Gracie for Ari's wedding and found her an adorable light blue dress, and then took the kids to the beach like they wanted.
After this we had dinner and then went back to the hotel.
Ashton and I were going to take the bed while Ender and Gracie would sleep on the fold out sofa.
Ashton was getting handsy and I knew what he wanted and so I went to knock on Harry's door before walking in to see him watching television.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey."
"Can I ask a favour of you?"
"What is it?"
"Would you mind watching the kids for a hour or two?"
"Why?"
"Because Ashton and I could use some time alone..."
"You're dumping your kids on me so the two of you can have sex?"
"I-"
"No."
"Seriously? Harry, come on."
"Nope."
"Whatever. Fine." I closed the door and walked back into my room, shaking my head at Ashton.
So he and I did what we had to do, and waited until the kids fell asleep before sneaking into the bathroom.
I was a bit needy but Ashton didn't seem to mind and kept going with me until we were both fully spent.
We showered and then went to sleep and only a few hours later we were woken up by the alarm he had set on his phone.
"Daddy no noise." Gracie covered her ears and Ashton rolled his eyes as he got out of the bed.
I could see red and purple spots on his neck when he walked away and I gasped before running after him.
"You got me good last night." He said as he inspected his neck in the mirror.
"I'm so sorry."
"It's fine." He smiled at me. "Becca can cover them up."
I nodded but he then turned around and pulled me closer to him.
"You were a bit demanding last night."
"Sorry."
"No, it's just i've never seen you that way before."
"I don't know what came over me." I bashfully admitted.
"Don't be embarrassed. It was hot. And besides, sex with you is something I will never complain about."
I laughed as I went to hide my face in his neck.
Ashton had to get ready for their rehearsal since they were preforming at the awards show and once he left I went back to bed with the kids.
Little hands at my chest was what woke me up again and I opened my eyes to see Gracie crawling up on the bed with me.
"Hi sweetheart." I smiled as she laid down and I brought my hand up to her hair, lightly running my fingers through it.
I took a selfie of us to send to Ashton, and then she and I began to get slightly ready.
There was a knock on the door and I let Becca in who went to fawn over the dress we had bought for Gracie yesterday, and after that there was a knock on the door between mine and Harry's rooms and he entered.
"I'll see you tonight at the show." He said.
"Yeah." I nodded and he came up to me and sighed.
"I'm sorry for my attitude yesterday."
"You're forgiven, just don't take it out on me."
"Okay." He then smiled and kissed my cheek before he left.
Ashton came back at 3:00 and then Becca began to get us ready.
"Someone looks pretty." Ashton smirked as he walked into the large hotel bathroom where Becca was finishing curling my hair.
"You don't look so bad yourself." I winked back at him.
Ashton had gotten a hair cut before he came back after Ann had apparently called him and said he looked like a beach bum, so now his sandy curly locks were shorter and he had more of a boyish hair cut.
"You look like Peter Pan." I commented as he walked up to my chair and he paused to roll his eyes.
"Wow thanks."
"Hey, that's my favourite movie for a reason." I winked and he busted out laughing.
"You look very pretty." He smiled and came over and kissed my lips.
"Hey, I just finished her makeup. If you mess it up I'll hurt you." Becca threatened him and I laughed.
"Sorry, sorry." He backed up a bit.
"Mommy look what I made!" Gracie came running into the bathroom with her colouring book.
She ran up to me and placed a picture in my hand of a flower garden that she'd coloured in.
"Very pretty." I smiled and caressed her cheek.
She climbed up to sit in my lap and I put my arms around her while she watched Becca continue to curl my hair in the mirror.
"Ashton how do I say this word?" Ender came in holding his homework folder.
"Let me see bud." Ashton took up the papers. "Uh, obscure."
"What does that mean?" Ender asked.
"It means like hidden."
"Oh okay. Thanks." Ender smiled and then turned to see me. "You look weird."
"Excuse you." I rolled my eyes.
"You're wearing more makeup." He shrugged.
"She has to so the lights won't wash her out." Becca explained.
Becca finished curling my hair and then we went to get dressed, me helping Ashton decide between jacket or no jacket, and we decided on no jacket.
"Okay Carter, come here!" Becca called me into another room and Gracie followed me.
Becca had my dress hanging up and unzipped the bag.
"Wow." I smiled as she revealed the dress again and Gracie jumped up and down behind me clapping her hands.
I stripped down to my underwear and had the dress slipped on, zipping it up.
The dress was very modern and cute, and the gold shimmered in the light of the room. The gold highlight and accents she had put in my makeup made it look even more special
"Mommy looks like a princess!" Gracie gawked up at me and I gave her a little laugh.
"Thank you Gracie." I smiled at her.
"Daddy, Mommy looks like a princess!" Gracie called out for her dad and Ashton appeared in the doorway.
"Oh wow, she looks very pretty." He leaned against the door frame grinning at me.
Becca handed me a pair of strappy gold high heels and I slipped them on, a little wobbly at first but I got the hang of it.
She then fixed my hair from where it had been messed up, then grabbed her makeup brushes and blush from her bag on her waist to touch up.
"See Ashton, you messed up her lips." She frowned as she fixed my matte lipstick.
"Don't bother fixing it I'm just gonna mess it up again." He said and I gave him a pointed look.
"Mommy can I go with you and Daddy?" Gracie tugged on the bottom of my dress.
"No baby not tonight." I placed a hand on her head and pushed back her curled hair.
"But I wanna look like a princess too." She whined and I bent down as far as I could in the dress.
"You always look like a princess." I smiled at her, moving my hand to her cheek.
She beamed up at me and I leaned in to kiss her cheek.
"Can someone quiz me on my new vocabulary?" Ender called out so Ashton left to go help him.
Gracie wanted me to hold her so Becca helped me adjust her on my waist so I could carry her around, loving on her until I had to leave.
There was a knock at the door and Becca opened it to reveal Katie, the bands publicist.
At this I began to panic, because not only was it my first red carpet, but Ender would also be watching Gracie for the first time by himself tonight.
"Time to go!" Katie called out to me and Ashton.
"Okay love, I'll see you later." I kissed Gracie's cheek.
"Bye Mommy." She hugged me and then I gave her to Ashton.
"Love you." He gave her a kiss as well.
"Love you Daddy." She kissed his cheek.
He set her down and I hugged Ender who was looking a bit nervous as well.
"Remember, you don't leave the room, don't answer the door to anyone, and call me if there's any emergency. I'll have my phone on me."
"Okay." He nodded.
Ashton hugged Ender and told him the same things I did before he took my hand and we left the room with Katie and Becca, making our way out of the hotel and to a black car downstairs.
"Okay, so Carter since this is your first red carpet, I'm warning you that it's going to be hectic and loud and probably a little overwhelming at first."
"Alright." I nodded.
"Don't worry babe, I got ya." Ashton placed his hand on my knee.
"I'm nervous." I admitted.
"You'll be fine, I won't let go of your hand the entire time." He assured me and I nodded.
We sat in traffic for a long time, Katie going over things we were supposed to say and not say, and made sure we knew "who we were wearing".
I became anxious once we got in the line of cars of the other people who were walking the red carpet, the car with Luke, Michael and Calum in front of us.
I could hear the fans screaming when the three of them got out of their car and I flung my hand over to Ashton's side where he took it up in his.
"Love, why are you so nervous?" He asked me.
"Because I want to make a good impression. I don't want everyone to think you're engaged to a total idiot." I responded and he shook his head.
"Car, this isn't anything you've ever done before, you're not an idiot this is just a new experience for you. And everyone that meets you loves you, you have nothing to worry about." Ashton said in a soothing voice, settling my nerves.
I nodded.
"You're such a sweetheart Carter, you'll be fine." Katie told me and I gave her a little smile.
Suddenly it was our turn to get out of the car and a man opened the door, Ashton getting out first and then reaching in for my hand to help me out, shooting me a wink.
Screams filled the air as well and I gave Ashton a nervous smile while he adjusted our hands and Katie began to lead us to where we needed to go.
"I know I tell you this all the time, and I feel like I don't tell you enough, but you look absolutely beautiful." Ashton leaned over to whisper in my ear and I looked up to smile at him.
"Thank you." I leaned up to speak in his ear. "You make me feel like the prettiest girl in the world."
"That's because you are." He whispered back and leaned down to give me a kiss. "Love you darling."
"Ooo darling. That's a new one." I smirked and he laughed, giving me another kiss.
"Okay you two, come on." Katie waved us over to where the boys were and we joined them.
"Woah!" They all exclaimed, looking me over.
"You look beautiful Carter." Luke smiled.
"Extremely." Michael added.
"Very nice." Calum nodded and I blushed at all of their compliments.
"Thank you. You all look very handsome as well."
"Okay, let's go!" Katie said and I gripped onto Ashton's fingers as we followed.
I took note of all of the cameras around us, some videoing, other taking pictures, and I knew that there were millions of eyes on me and felt myself begin to tremble a little bit.
Just a few months ago I was living on an island, working a job as a underwater tour guide, and now here I was, walking the red carpet of the Teen Choice awards with my fiancé.
"Alright, we are having Ashton and Carter go first and then join groups." Katie instructed and Ashton squeezed my hand.
"Ready to go walk the red carpet?" Ashton smirked at me.
"Only if I'm with you rockstar." I said back and he went to kiss me one more time before we were led onto the carpet.
"Ashton! Carter! Carter! Ashton!" Our names were shouted out by the paparazzi who were behind a barricade.
Flashes were going off like crazy and I felt like I was going to go blind.
Katie told us when to stop walking and we moved to adjust ourselves for the camera, Ashton moving his hand from mine to my waist so his arm was around my back.
"Smile for the camera, love." Ashton spoke into my ear and I glanced up at him, doing what he said.
We would stand in one place and pose, changing our position before moving down the carpet only to stop and repeat the same action until we were done.
"You're doing great." Ashton encouraged me.
"If I fall in these heels will you catch me?" I asked, trying to make a joke to calm myself down and it seemed to work, Ashton laughing.
"I'll always catch you." He chuckled before kissing my head.
I tilted my head up to press a kiss to his cheek.
After this Katie had us go to the side.
"Okay so we need just pictures of the band, so Carter is going to do a solo interview while the boys take pictures." She said and I began to panic.
"I promised Carter I would stay with her the whole night." Ashton shook his head.
"It will be for three minutes." Katie said.
"I'll be okay for a few minutes, go ahead." I told Ashton and he hesitantly nodded, ducking down for a kiss before Katie led them away, leaving me with her assistant.
"Okay, so you're going to walk up those stairs onto that platform where Emma will interview you, alright?" The young girl said to me and I barely had a chance to reply before I was directed to and up the stairs, a reporter in a nice dress with a microphone in hand and a camera man standing next to her.
"Oh my goodness and here we have Carter Chase, looking absolutely stunning." The girl said as I walked up.
"Thank you." I smiled as she hugged me.
"You look like a golden goddess." I laughed.
"Thank you, thank you."
"So how are you enjoying your first red carpet?"
"It's crazy, I didn't know what to expect but I totally wasn't expecting this."
"Did you do anything to prepare for it?"
"No, I mean I really just decided to let what happens happen and so i'm just hoping it all goes well and I don't fall in these shoes." I laughed.
"Well you seem like a natural, honestly, and- oh my gosh here comes Harry Styles." She said and I turned to see Harry walking up the steps, a smile on his face.
"Hey." He grinned at me.
"Hey." I laughed.
"I have to go, but I wanted to say that you look great. I'll see you inside."
"Okay."
He kissed my cheek and then jogged back down the steps, turning back to wave and give me a smile.
"Wow, how does it feel to be greeted by Harry Styles on the red carpet?" Emma asked me.
"Well he's my best friend."
"So who are you most excited to see preform tonight?"
"5 Seconds of Summer, definitely." I laughed. "I've got to support my fiancé."
"Okay, besides 5SOS, who else?" The girl giggled with me.
"I'll be quite honest with you, I don't know who else is preforming."
"Are there any celebrities you're hoping to see or meet tonight?"
"Not particularly...i'm awful I don't know many celebrities."
The girl looked like she really didn't know where to go from there.
Finally my interview ended and I was allowed back on the carpet where I waited for Ashton, feeling relief when he joined me.
"You good?" He asked.
"Had a bit of a rocky interview but it's whatever." I said.
"Come on, we have one more interview together and then we can go inside." He took my hand and squeezed it.
Katie led us to another one of the stair things where Ashton held my hand but let me walk up first before following me up to where there was another woman in an extravagant dress, ready to interview us.
Ashton adjusted us so that his hands were on my waist, holding me. His fingers lightly pressed into my hip just to show me he was there.
"Hi!" The girl with the mic smiled at us.
"Hi." Ashton and I both said, with smiles on our faces.
"You both look so adorable together."
"Thank you." I smiled.
"It's all her." Ashton smiled down at me and then kissed my temple.
"So this is your very first red carpet as a couple, are you guys excited?" The girl asked us.
"Excited yes, I mean it's fun." Ashton shrugged.
"I mean i'm a bit nervous but he's calm which helps me."
We laughed.
"So you two are the parents of a beautiful four year old little girl name Gracie, is she and your brother Ender going to be watching the show tonight?"
"Well tonight is actually Enders first time watching Gracie by himself, so hopefully he doesn't have her stay up too late, but they might be watching I don't know." I laughed.
"Yes, Mommy and Daddy get a very rare date night tonight so if we come back and they are still awake and the hotel room is a disaster then someone's probably getting grounded." Ashton joked.
"Yes. But Gracie had to get her Mommy cuddles and Daddy kisses before we left so hopefully all goes well." I smiled.
"She actually wanted to come with us tonight but she couldn't so, maybe next time." Ashton added.
We finished up that interview and then we went inside to get our seats which were surprisingly on the second row.
"We've never been this up close before." Luke said with wide eyes as we sat down, and a few minutes later Harry and his band walked out to sit on the row in front of us.
"So why do you think your first interview was rocky?" Ashton asked me now that we had a chance to talk.
"She asked me about stuff I didn't know. Like about pop culture, celebrities, and all of that and I don't know any celebrities besides you and Harry."
"That's not a bad thing, i'm sure you did fine though."
"We'll see." I sighed and then crossed my legs.
He took my hand in his and I looked up as Harry turned around to smile at me.
People kept coming up to the boys to introduce themselves or say hello and as Ashton's fiancé I had to shake their hands as well.
Finally everyone sat down because the show was moments away from starting and so Ashton kissed my cheek and squeezed my hand as the opening performer came on stage to sing.
As the show went on I found myself being greeted by all sorts of people. It was a bit overwhelming but I had Ashton there to keep me calm.
Soon it came time for the guys to leave to get ready to preform, and so after a kiss for good luck for Ashton, they left and I watched as Harry turned around in his seat to look at me.
"Come sit with me." He said and I nodded before going to sit next to him, the guy who had been in that spot moving to my old seat.
"Are you bored out of your mind yet?" Harry smiled at me.
"Not yet." I giggled and he joined in.
A few minutes later a guy came out to announce the band and a wall rose to reveal the bands set up behind it, the guys already there. They began to play She Looks So Perfect and I sang along with the crowd, noticing the camera show me on the screen a lot.
When the song ended I stood up to applaud and then waited for them to come back, Ashton walking towards me to take my hands.
"You did amazing, as always." I smiled as he walked me back to our seats.
"Thank you baby." He kissed me.
The two of us sat down, and I smiled at the guys and a couple more people preformed before the category the guys were nominated for came up.
I squeezed Ashton's hand.
"And the winner for best new music group goes to..." The guy announcing said into the mic and then opened an envelope before reading out the winner.
"Five Seconds of Summer!"
I gasped before grinning at Ashton who looked surprised yet happy.
"Congratulations!" I couldn't stop myself from smiling and he and I stood up before he pulled me into a hug. "I'm so proud of you."
"Thank you." He said back before he moved in to kiss me.
I could hear people cheer as he moved his lips against mine for a few seconds before pulling away.
"I love you." He pecked my lips once more."
"I love you more."
He grinned at this and then went to walk up to the stage to accept the award with the guys.
I sat back down and watched them in adoration.
"Ashton's going to talk because he's better at this stuff, but thank you." Michael said into the mic and Ashton looked surprised as the guys shoved him to the front.
"Um, I can honestly say that we didn't expect this, but we are so thankful to everyone who voted. The fans mean the world to us and we wouldn't be a band without you. I want to thank our team and all of the hard work they put in to make what we do possible. And of course I want to thank my fiancé Carter," he said and I blushed like mad. "Car you've been my biggest supporter and my muse, and I love you so much. To my kids, Ender and Gracie, if you guys are watching then you're grounded because it's late and you should be in bed." The audience laughed. "I'm kidding, but I love you two with all of my heart. You and your mom are what keep me going and there are no words to describe how much I love you and our family. Thanks again for voting and we'll see you guys on the road soon."
They waved as they left the stage holding their award, and Katie came to get me to take me back stage to get my photo taken with the guys and Ashton.
The rest of the night was a whirlwind of conversations, some positive and some interesting, and finally at two in the morning Ashton and I arrived back at the hotel.
He and I walked in the hotel room, the two of us exhausted.
We wasted no time in changing clothes and it took me forever to wipe off all of my makeup and scrub my face clean.
I put my hair up and then put on my glasses before walking into the bedroom where Ashton was pulling back the blankets on the bed.
"Mind if we have the kids sleep with us? I'm missing their cuddles." I said.
"Sure." Ashton smiled at me.
We went over to the kids bed where I picked up Ender and he picked up Gracie before going over to the bed. We sat down, bringing the two kids into our laps.
Ender was just small enough for me to cradle him, and I stroked his cheek with my fingers, Ashton kissing Gracie's forehead.
"Do you remember that photo of me and Gracie that I posted awhile ago where I said she was my true love?" I asked him.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well tonight this woman came up to me and told me I shouldn't say that, that as a wife I should put my husband first...but I don't think she understood what I meant."
"I did. Gracie is our daughter, of course she is your true love, she's mine too, so is Ender." He said and I looked up at him.
"You mean that?"
"Yeah. It's like if you, Ender, and Gracie were hanging off a cliff, and I could only save you or the kids, I would save the kids. And it's not because I don't love you or that I love them more, it's because they're my children and as a parent I would do anything to save them."
I smiled at this.
"And i'd do the same."
He smiled back down at me and leaned in to kiss me.
"I love you." I kissed him again.
"I love you too." He pecked my lips and then my forehead before looking back down at Ender and Gracie.

Do you think Harry is being to inappropriate with Carter, or is that just his personality, and is Ashton right for getting annoyed with him?
How do you think the MET gala will go with Harry and Carter?
And what do you think is in the blue letter?
More to come!
Much love xx-m
