You said you wouldn't

Chapter 25

"Ah good! This is Ashton " The voice was now excited

"Ashton..? " My eyes we're practically squinted as I tried recalling where I've met this Ashton but before I could even process he replied

"The boy from the cafe! You don't remember? " A hint of doubt clear in the voice

"Ah oh! Ashton! Yes yes I remember, I am so sorry to not - " I hurriedly began to apologize but he cut me off

"It's okay.. I was just wondering why you never showed up to the cafe? You know I came to cafe that morning and hour and half earlier so that I can arrange everything for you... "

"Oh my God I am so sorry.. Some-Something came up " I hesitantly replied

My heart felt a thug as I recalled the events that happened that day

"It's okay, well I just wanted to inform you that sadly the boss gave the job to someone else. I really tried to convince him to wait for you you know " He told me

"Oh my god that's so sweet of you. I am really sorry again-"

" Sia Stop apologizing please " He cut me off again , his raspy voice filled with an emotion I couldn't really comprehend

"Sorr- I mean - ah - well um thank you for calling  "
I don't know why but I was nervous as hell

"I hope I didn't call at the wrong time" He said with a little chuckle at the end

I quickly glanced at the time on my phone

11:02pm

"Um.. No.. I appreciate you calling" I replied

" Well Sia I also wanted to ask you something " He said almost whispered

"Yes?"

"Wi-will.. " I heard him take a sigh

"Nothing.. Good night Sia" He finished

"What-" But before I could reply he ended the call

Strange.
I was curious about what he probably had to ask but I gave it no mind

I was kind of sad that I lost the job but I was gonna join college soon so I would probably get a job near that I hope

Ignoring all the thoughts, I saved his number.
There was a strange emotion rushing inside me about the whole call.

But before I could even think about it anymore I heard someone clearing their throat

Turning around I came face to face with none other than Justin

His hair messy, he was in the same white tshirt and sweats he was before but this time he didn't look sleepy at all

Of course he had to be here

"Wh-what are you doing here? " I asked hurriedly

I saw him raise an eyebrow before taking a step towards me

"This is my home" He replied with his ever so raspy voice

"I meant - " I saw him staring at me up and down and taking another step forward making me forget what I was saying

I cannot stay near him.

Sia you know he's bad news. Stay away.

"Forget it" I said more to myself before making my way past him

Only to feel my hand being grabbed by his large warm ones stopping me

I turned around annoyed

"What the fuck!" I whisper yelled at him

Though I wanted to scream at top of my lungs, there are people sleeping and it's just not the appropriate time

"Was that your husband?" He asked with a blank expression completely ignoring my annoyed state

" What?! No! " I don't know why but I answered him correctly. Just the thought of talking to Andrew again made me sick

"Then..? " He asked again, his grip not loosening even a bit while his face remained as stonic as always

Okay, enough. I am not gonna let him handle me like this

"What's it to you? Leave my hand right this instant! " I was so mad but it seemed like he couldn't care less

"Is there a man - " I didn't let him finish

Who does he think he is

" I am not answerable to you! Weren't you like ignoring me - " I exclaimed in annoyance but before I could finish he left my hand and took a step back

I saw his expression change but before I could properly comprehend it he turned around

"Leave" I heard him whisper

I opened my mouth in confusion but I didn't want him to think he had any affect on me so I replied

"Gladly"  Before rushing up to my room

I practically ran upstairs and to my room and as soon as I reached inside, I closed the door shut, before resting my back against it .

Closing my head I tried to even my heavy breathing

My emotions were on edge. I was anxious, confused and even annoyed to some extent.

What is happening? And is it happening? That too with Justin out of all people.

I planned to ignore him at all cost dammit and I thought he wanted the same.

I don't understand what he's thinki-

My thoughts were interrupted with the notification sound from my phone

My heart raced some more if that was even possible as I tried getting a hold of my emotions . This was all too much. I don't know how will I be able to handle all this.

It was a text. And nothing even closer to what I may even expect

Ashton : Couldn't say this on call but will you go on a date with me? Nothing serious. Just a casual coffee date? I would understand if you don't want to.
