πΉ Rachel pov πΉ
By the end of our laughing session, my stomach was paining because of so much laughing. I bet it was the same with Ashton.
After calming ourselves, we sat in silence.
I started thinking about things because we weren’t talking.
Just then, a random thought struck me. It was so random that you won’t believe me.
“Ashton, am I a good kisser?” I asked.
See, I told you!
After asking the question, I really wanted to face-palm myself. I tried to keep a straight face, much like a poker face.
I didn’t even look at Ashton because I was Scared of his reaction.
Few minutes passed by, but still no response from Ashton. I didn’t pester him. If he wants to answer my question then he will. I don’t want to embarrass myself more by repeating my question.
“Rachael,” Ashton started to say, “We kissed for like a few seconds that time. So, I can’t really tell that you are a good kisser or not.”
I can’t believe that we were talking about whether I am a good kisser or not! And since we were talking about kissing, I wanted to kiss Ashton.
My hormones were active now.
I looked at him. My gaze fell on his lips. While looking at his lips, I asked, “Can I kiss you to find out whether I’m a good kisser or not?”
When I was done asking the question, I looked back at him. And he had a look of shock on his face.
After thinking how to handle the situation, he opened his mouth to speak. I had a feeling that I won’t like what he was going to say.
So, I did what I found best. I pressed my lips on his lips before words came out of his mouth. He had frozen at my action.
I put my fingers in his hair and deepen the kiss. After a few seconds, Ashton started responding to my kiss.
Our kiss was what I’d like to call “the perfect kiss.” We weren’t eating each others faces, just like it is shown in the movies.
We were taking it slow. We were consumed in the sweet taste of our lips together. We were kissing like lovers who were meeting after a long time. Our lips were working on their own accord, speaking ina language that only love could understand.
My lips never left his lips. Our kiss was filled with so much passion that I didn’t wanted our kiss to ever end. But we broke apart because we needed air to breathe.
We were breathing steadily now. Our faces were inches apart. Our lips were not that far from each other.
I was about to kiss him again but he looked at me with an intense look.
“Rachael, I like you,” Ashton said.
“I liked you from the very beginning. But since you were my best friend’s sister, I had to suppress my feelings for you.”
“Even ifI was your best friend’s sister, you could still like me and date me. You didn’t have to suppress your feelings for me,” I told him.
He laughed, “Michael would’ve killed me if he had known that I have feelings for you.” “Why?” I asked.
“Because he thinks that I’ma jerk,” he said with a laugh.
“You are not a jerk,” I was quick to defend my crush.
He laughed and said, “When it comes to you, Michael thinks that every friend of his is a jerk. So, he doesn’t want you to date any of his friends, which includes me.”
“But you are a good person,” I said to him.
“Rachael, I know that but Michael won’t let us be together,” he stated.
“You are a good person and Michael won’t allow me to date a good person then whom shall I date?”
“Michael will kill me if I tell you this but I think that you should know this.”
“What should I know?”
“Michael wants you to be with a guy which he approves of.”
“What?! I can’t even be with the guy of my choice?! It’s my life and I will date the guy whom I like,” I said, firmly.
Ashton smiled at me as he said, “Be with the guy whom you like. I just want you to be happy.”I, too, smiled.
“And I would love if you choose to be with me,” he added. He grabbed my chin and leaned in to kiss me. Our lips were about to touch. But our kiss was interrupted by Ashton’s phone ringing.
Stupid phone call!
Ashton took out his phone from his jeans and answered the call.
“Hello,” he said on the phone.
“What?!” he was shocked. He rose from the sofa and went straight to his room.
What’s the matter? Why was he so shocked?
After a few minutes, Ashton came back to the sitting room and sat beside me. He looked tensed.
“What’s the matter, Ashton? Is everything okay?” I asked.
He gave out a nervous laugh,
“Yeah, everything is fine.”
“Who called you?”
“Umm..My colleague. Let’s not talk about it, okay?”
“Okay.” I said as I nodded my head. Ashton and Michael both shut me out completely whenever it comes to their “work”
I didn’t press Ashton to tell me further about the phone call.
But I had a feeling that Ashton was hiding something big from me. I just had to find that out.
I was still thinking about the phone call that Ashton had received the other day, which made him nervous and tensed.
What could be the matter? Since that day, he used to get calls on a regular basis. I didn’t ask him about the phone calls because I knew that he won’t tell me.
I thought to keep that matter aside for now.
It was 8pm. Ashton was in the kitchen preparing the dinner while I was watching TV.
Suddenly, the electricity was gone. There was darkness and silence.
“Ashton,” I called to him. I was scared of the darkness and quietness around me.
“I’m here,” Ashton answered, as he emerged from the kitchen with a candle in his hand.
He entered the sitting room and put the candle on the table. The light from the candle illuminated the room.
“What happened to the electricity?” I asked.
“I don’t know. Let me check the electricity board,” he said as he exited the room. I could see that he was searching the electricity board with the help of his phone’s light.
After a minute, he came back in the room.
“There’s nothing Wrong with the electricity board. I don’t know why there is no electricity in the apartment.”
Later, he asked, “Do you want to have dinner now?”
“I don’t know,” I said.
“Let’s have dinner now. We have the candle and we have the dinner so it will be like a candle light dinner,” he said. Through the candle’s light, I could see him smile. I couldn’t help but smile back at him.
We both went to the kitchen to get our dinner.
We grabbed the plates and our dinner and went back to the sitting room.
Thank God I didn’t trip!
We put everything on the table and sat on the couch. Ashton positioned the candle in the centre of the table.
We were having pizza for dinner. Since my stomach was on the verge of growling, I took a slice of pizza and stuffed it inside my mouth.
“Hmm…Ashton, this pizza is so amazing!” I said, in delight.
The pizza is so delicious! “Thank you,” he said. He took a slice of pizza and ate it.
In a few minutes, the pizza was finished. And I’m damn sure that I was the one who ate more slices.
“Rachael, there’s ketchup on your lips,” Ashton pointed out.
I wiped my lips with my hand. “Is it still there?”I asked him.
“Yeah.”
I wiped my lips again.
Ashton came near me and wiped my lips with his thumb. I saw the ketchup on his thumb and saw him licking the ketchup from his thumb.
I looked the other way. I knew that I was blushing because of what Ashton did.
“That was sexy,” I said, out of the blue.
Ashton laughed. He knew what I was talking about.
“I know” he said and we both started laughing.
“Can I kiss you?” Ashton asked when we stopped laughing.
“You don’t need to ask,” I told him.
He leaned in and kissed me. He was kissing me like there’s no tomorrow. He was kissing me with so much need.
Gosh! He’s such a good kisser!
Suddenly, he pulled away.
“What happened?” I asked him.
“Did you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
Ashton didn’t answer my question. He rose from the couch. “Stay here,” he told me and exited the room.
He started inspecting the apartment. Why?
When he was done with the inspection, he went out of the apartment. I was about to follow him but he came back.
When he saw me standing near the door, he asked, “I told you to stay in the sitting room, then what are you doing here?!”
He was on the verge of becoming angry.
“Ashton, what’s the matter?” I asked,
Concerned about him. What made him so angry?
“Why were you inspecting the apartment?”
He calmed himself, “I just thought, wel, never mind.” He locked the door. Just then, the electricity came.
“Rachael, go to sleep,” he told me.
“But-”
“Rachael, go to sleep,” he sort of ordered me.
There was no point of arguing with him. So, I did as I was told. I went straight to my room.
“And lock the door,” he said. I gave him a questioning look.
“Just lock the door,” he said with firmness.
I locked the door. I heard Ashton going to his room. This was the first time that Ashton and
I didn’t share a “Goodnight.”
What has happened to him all of a sudden?
What’s the matter? And why isn’t he telling me anything? Why is he keeping secrets from me?
So many questions but no answers. From where I’ll get the answers? Who will give me answers to my questions?
β€οΈβπ₯ Ashton’s pov β€οΈβπ₯
I had made sure that no one was in the apartment. I had told Rachael to lock her door. I hope she’s safe inside her room.
I went to the sitting room and took out the pistol from my jeans. I had slipped the pistol in my jeans when I was inspecting the apartment.
I sat on the couch. I put the pistol on the table.
I decided not to sleep tonight.
Tonight, I need to be awake.
