πΉ Rachel pov πΉ
When Ashton had exited the kitchen, I went to my room. I straightaway went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My cheeks were red in color! I hadn’t noticed that my cheeks had turned red! Maybe I was too busy staring at Ashton’s semi-naked self?
HE LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD WITHOUT CLOTHES!!!
I was trying to calm down my heart since it had started beating in a fast pace. I took deep breaths. In, out. In, out.
After a minute, my heart was beating at a normal pace. I decided to take a shower.
When I was in the shower, I had closed my eyes just for a few seconds, to enjoy the shower but my brain was busy displaying towel-clad images of Ashton in my mind!
I put my hands on my head and said, “Stop, brain, stop.” I opened my eyes. My hormones are still working even when I’m trying to have a peaceful shower! I sighed.
I got out from the shower and dried myself with a towel. I wore my clothes and exited the bathroom. My hair was dripping wet so I took the blow-dryer, sat on my bed and started to blow-dry my hair. After blow-drying my hair,
I put the blow-dryer in the drawers.
When I got up from my bed, I decided to go to Ashton’s room, to ask him whether I can prepare today’s breakfast or not. He makes meals for us everyday so I also wanted to contribute something.
I went to his room. His bedroom door was closed. I was about to knock on the door but just then I heard Ashton talking to someone. I put my ear on the door to hear more clearly.I know I shouldn’t be snooping around but my curiosity was getting to me! From the last few days, Ashton has been getting calls and he used to attend all his calls in his room.
Why couldn’t he attend his calls in my presence? I wanted to know. And I also wanted to know that who was calling him.
I heard Ashton saying, “How’s your work going?…Don’t worry. You’ll be able to do it.Can’t wait to have you here, bro…She is good…Yeah, she asked about what work you do..”
Now, I know who has been making calls to Ashton. It was my brother, Michael.
I continued to listen to Ashton, “…No, I didn’t tell her anything…But you should’ve told her…Even I don’t want her to be in danger but she’s curious about what work you do and her curiosity may get her in danger…”
My curiosity may get me in danger? How?
And what work does Michael do that may get me in danger?
“.Promise me that you’ll tell her everything when you return..Okay, take care, bye..,” As soon as Ashton ended the call, I ran away to the sitting room, quickly sat on the sofa and pretended to be sitting idle by looking at the TV’s blank screen.
Ashton emerged from his bedroom. He entered the sitting room and sat beside me.
“Tm sorry for our previous encounter,”
Ashton said to me, referring to our earlier encounter in the kitchen.
Don’t be sorry, Because of that encounter I was able to see you shirtless. And I would love to see you shirtless on a regular basis!
Gosh! My hormones were working again! I need to work on controlling my hormones.
“Don’t be sorry,”I told him.
He just nodded. “So, what would you like to have today for breakfast?” he asked with a smile.
“Anything delicious,” I told him and we both laughed.
“Coming right up,” he said in a cheerful tone and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
I would’ve helped him but after listening to Ashton when he was having a conversation with my brother, my mind was occupied with things and I needed time to think and process
all those things.
While eating breakfast, I asked Ashton, “What work do you do?” “I do the same work that Michael does,” he answered.
“That means that you toO Won’t tell me what work or job you do?” I asked.
Ashton looked at me. “Rachael, trust me. I want to tell you everything but your brother isn’t letting me. If you come to know what work I do then you will come to know what work Michael does and he doesn’t want you to know,” he told me honestly.
“I know that but what’s harm in telling me what you guys do?” I questioned him. “Ashton, you can tell me what work Michael does and I swear that I won’t let Michael know.”
“Rachael, I’ve promised your brother and ifI break my promise then I would feel that I’m betraying him. Please be patient and you will come to know everything at the right time,” Ashton said.
I knew he would say something like this.
But the point is : Why are things being kept from me?
It was night. I was lying on my bed. The lights were off but my eyes were opened. My mind was going through all the events that happened today. My mind was happy on the memory when Ashton was only wearing a towel around his waist. That memory brought a smile on my face. And then, a slideshow started in my head, which was showing images of a towel-clad Ashton from different angles.
Lord, I’m going crazy! No, wait. I’m already crazy For Ashton.
I started blushing at this thought. If I continued to blush at this rate then I won’t need to put blush on my cheeks!
After a few minutes, I calmed myself. I, then, started thinking about Ashton’s conversation, which he had in his room.
Why doesn’t Michael want to tell me what work he does? What job do Michael and Ashton do? Ashton told me that he does the same job that Michael does but then, if it’s true, then what is Ashton doing here with me? He should’ve also gone out of town with Michael for “work.”
I’m getting confused. So, I closed my eyes, put my brain in the stand-by mode, that is, making my brain ready to dream about Ashton, and then went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, I was feeling terribly cold. I started becoming restless.
I kept moving myself, searching for some warmth under the blankets but all I could feel was coldness. The blankets were not enough to keep me warm so I opened my eyes, because
I wasn’t able to sleep, and put my feet on the floor.
The floor was freezing!
Irose from the bed and started rubbing my arms, trying to make myself warm. When I touched my arms, I realized that I was cold as ice. You could’ve easily mistaken me fora vampire because of my really cold skin!
When rubbing my arms didn’t help me get warm, I started walking in my room. When it didn’t help me, I started jumping, trying to produce heat from within my body. It was somewhat working.
Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I stopped jumping.
“Rachael, are you awake?” I heard Ashton asking me from the other side of the door.
“Yeah,” I told him. I was heavily panting due to excess jumping.
Ashton opened the door and came in my room. He switched on the lights. It felt as if the sun was shining in the room! It was that bright!
My eyes adjusted to the bright light.
“Were you jumping?” Ashton asked next. He was wearing an undershirt with pajamas. I Would’ve stared at him but I wasn’t in that state because I was feeling very cold! “Was I jumping that loud?” I asked. My jumping had woke up my crush.
“Yeah,” he said with a smile.
“But why were you jumping?”
I replied, “I was feeling cold so I started jumping, in hope of producing heat from within my body.”
“Let me check,” he said and came to me.
He touched my hand. “You’re freezing!” he exclaimed in shock.
I just nodded.
“Well, I don’t have any more blankets other than mine,” he mumbled to himself.
“Ill bring you my blankets,” he suddenly said and was about to exit my room but I stopped him.
“Then what about you?” I asked.
He smiled at me and said, “Don’t worry about me. I won’t feel that cold.” And he exited my room to lend me his blankets.
After a few minutes, he entered my room with two blankets. He told me to lie on bed. I did as I was told. He, then, wrapped my blankets over me and then he wrapped his blankets over my blankets.
I could feel my body becoming warm. All thanks to the blankets! And to Ashton too!
When I was settled, Ashton said, “Goodnight.” I said, “Sleep tight. Don’t let the big bugs bite.” And we both laughed.
When we finished laughing, Ashton switched off the lights and I heard him whisper, “Sweet dreams, Rachael.”
After a few minutes of sleeping, my concern for Ashton woke me up. I sat on my bed.
Ashton was sleeping in his room without any blankets! He must be feeling cold! I decided to check up on him, after all, he’s my crush and it’s in mny nature to care about him.
I rose from the bed, wrapped two blankets around myself and headed to Ashton’s room.
I opened his bedroom door as quietly as possible. I entered his room. It wasn’t that dark in here. The moonlight coming from the window was on Ashton and because of that,
I was able to see him. And I could clearly see him shivering.
I went near him and whispered, “Ashton, you’re feeling cold.”
He slowly opened his eyes and upon seeing me, he asked,
“Rachael, what are you doing here?” He sat on his bed and switched on the lights. He rubbed his eyes. I saw that he was wearing a shirt.
I sat beside him on the bed. “I came to check up on you.”
He looked at me and smiled.
“Ashton, you were shivering,” I told him. I, then, touched his hand. “You’re cold!” “I know I’m cold but I can’t help it,” he said.
“I’m feeling guilty. I was sleeping with four blankets and you were sleeping with none!
Let me get your blankets,”I told him and rose from the bed to get him his blankets but he stopped me.
“No, you don’t need to. Rachael, you need those blankets otherwise you won’t be able to sleep,” Ashton explained.
“Even ifI have all the blankets, I won’t be able to sleep because I’ll be worrying about you, who will be sleeping without any blankets on this cold night,” I told him.
“There’s nothing we can do about it,” he told
I opened my mouth to say but there was one problem: I didn’t have anything thing to say. I closed my mouth.
There was silence in the room for a few minutes. Suddenly, an idea struck me!
After all, there was a way.
I told Ashton, “There’s one thing we can do.”
“What?” asked Ashton.
I said to him, “We can sleep together.”
