It was morning, the birds chirped outside on the trees behind Steve's window. The sun rays reflected on his face and he blink twice and groaned trying to open his half sleep eyes. Steve got down from the bed and walked to the bathroom, he brushed his teeth and carried on with the rest of his business. He took a quick shower and dressed into new set of clothes, after he was done he took one last look of himself to see how he looked.
* I'm going to start living for myself alone, maybe I'll learn to loose interest in Ash. I'm mostly just killing myself for him while he doesn't bother about it. I no not need a mom since I'm already old enough!! *
he muttered to himself and walk out of his room.
He was determined to live for himself, he wanted out if his shackles. He walked down the stairs and plopped down on the couch and leaned his back as he close his eyes and relax his body. He jolted his eyes open when he remembered the incidence in the night with Ash, his mind was fuzzy and he couldn't really recall what happened,
* I only took a shot of tequila, I really do have low tolerance for alcohol so I always avoided it. What the hell happened at all?!! I do remember talking with Ash but not exactly what we talked about. Well .... whatever, it's even better if I don't remember anything since I do and say really strange things whenever I'm drunk *
he shook his head side ways and shove the thoughts away.
* I'll need to visit the hospital later in the day. I don't feel well in my stomach *
he started to gently pat his stomach.
* Young Master good morning *
the butler greeted him and walk towards him, Steve smiled warmly at the butler. He looked happier than he's ever been which made the butler also smile warmly at him,
* Young Master seems so happy today * the butler said.
* Hm, I'm thinking of the things I plan to do so I decided to get out of bed since I woke up early *
Steve replied to the butler. Their conversation went on like this and Steve seemed to open up to the butler which made him very happy. Steve was always closed off from the people in the house, Ash had prevented them from talking to the Young Master and Steve was always locked up in his room. But to think the butler could have a normal conversation with Steve made him extremely happy. The butler went on and served Steve his breakfast,
* Young Master please have your breakfast, enjoy it while it's still hot *
the butler served Steve his breakfast with a big warm smile. He brought another serving which had the same contents as Steve's serving,
* this is for the boss, can you take it to him once you're done with your breakfast?, He should still be sleeping, I'm afraid he'd be angry if I go in now to disturb his sleep *
the butler said apologetic to him when he asked him for help. Steve remained stiff after he heard what the butler had requested of him, he had never served Ash anything before and didn't know how to do that now, but he didn't have the heart to refuse the butler,
* okay, sure I'll do just that *
he replied to the butler. The butler's face beamed with happiness when the Young Master agrees to assist him,
* Thank you for your help Young Master Steve *
he gave the tray to Steve and walked away.
Steve walked up stairs to Ash's door, he stood still for a minute since he was still hesitant. He slowly opened the door and walked in, he was surprised to see Ash fast asleep under the quilt. He stood there quietly not knowing what to do next, he finally regained his composure and walked to the drawer. He placed the tray of food slowly on the drawer and went to pull the curtains open, this made Ash jolt his eyes open in anger,
* what the hell do you think you're doing? what are you doing here so early in the morning?! *
he glared dangerously at the person who forced open the curtains, no one has ever dared to do that before and he wanted to see who'd dare to do that now, but his gaze softened when he met that of a timid looking Steve who was busily fidgeting with his fingers nervously.
* I'm here to wake you up for your breakfast *
he stuttered when he met Ash's heated gaze on him.
* Uncle Vincent was busy with some work so he asked me to bring you your breakfast *
he nervously added. Ash quietly sat up straight on the bed and remove the quilt from his body which revealed his bare chest and his lower part, he only had a boxer short on, this made Steve blushed and quickly divert his eyes elsewhere not looking at Ash. He had made up his mind to kill off his feelings he had for Ash and he was set to do so, he didn't want his mind to waiver,
* A .... aren't ..... you .... embarrassed? *
he stuttered which made Ash stare at him strangely.
* Why are you blushing? it's just a normal part of my body. And besides it's not as if this is your first time ... *
Steve quickly shut him up before he could finish his sentence.
* Shut up!!!! ..... it ... it's all in the past now!!! I'll learn to look elsewhere other than you!!! *
Steve stuttered more. It felt as if Ash had him warped around his fingers and his determination to move on is a long way ahead.
* Just clean up and eat!!! *
he shouted at Ash and quickly walked out of the room with his face red as he clench his racing heart.
Ash quickly sat on the bed and stared at Steve's back as he walk out of the room, the incident of the night slowly occupied his mind. He decided to investigate Steve's relationship with Zack and if he truly misunderstood him, he was ready to apologise to him. He also wanted to know more about Steve, Ash walked to the window holding his phone and he dialed the number of one of his secret agents,
* I want you to investigate Zack and his relationship with my wife and his mother!!! I want a detailed information!!! i want you to look into my step mom's life before she married my dad, I want to know how my wife lived before his life now, including his date of birth and any other information, even his past school life, I want to know everything. Get it done as soon as possible. I want to get my hands on an entire file, and it should be handed to be later in the day in my office. Move now and make it quick!! *
he ordered and hang up the phone. He took a quick shower and dress up in an office attire, he sat and gracefully ate his breakfast before exiting his room when he was done.
He climb down the stairs into the Hall,
* Uncle Vincent!!! *
he called the butler. Uncle Vincent quickly respond to Ash's call,
* What do you need, Boss? *
he politely ask Ash,
* Where is Steve? *
he asked.
* The Young Master left after he served your breakfast *
Ash stared at the butler in daze, Steve rarely goes out even after Ash gave him the permission that he can go out whenever he wanted, he opened a big flower shop, but it was more like a hobby so he doesn't frequently work. This made Ash a bit worried,
* And did he say where he was going to?
he asked the butler.
*The Young Master didn't say, he only said he had something to take care of and he'd be back later *
Ash didn't ask any more questions, he dismiss the butler and walked out to his car and leave for work.
