Chapter 7: Tied back

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Well, I'm not asking you to take him somewhere far away. Just go for a walk or take him out for lunch or something. I think it's important him to be out and around different people for a little bit. Not too long or anything. If anything happens, just give me a call. Can you do this for me?" He asks.

Sighing, I look back over where to where Justin still stood with Jamie. "Yeah, sure." I give in much too easily and Dad smiles. 

"Thank you. Now there's someone coming over tomorrow to tutor and help Justin so we can work on his verbal communication, but after that you guys can go out for a couple of hours." Dad quickly utters before leaving me behind to return to his new ward.

He pats Justin's shoulder and nods his head to the side, indicating for him to follow him back to his office and he does, glancing back me momentarily before he goes.

Jamie slides over to me happily and I sigh, "Stop it, you're acting like he's some celebrity," I say, "Which he's not." I add at the end and Jamie rolls her eyes, "I know that. He's actually really good-looking, don't you think?" Jamie says to me as he head up to my room.

"Jamie?" 

"Yeah?" 

"Please stop talking." 

And I get another slap to the arm.

Someone rings the doorbell the next morning at 10 A.M. It's a man with a satchel and I'm assuming he's the tutor dad hired to help Justin with his communication skills. "Is this the Ashby residence?" He asks politely.

I nod, opening the door wider. "Are you Mr Lawfeld?" 

"Yes, that would be me." He smiles and I allow him to enter through the doorway. 

Dad appears by the door in the matter of seconds, "Mr Lawfeld, nice to see you again." The two guys shake hands, "Great to be back." 

"If you'll follow me, I'll take you to my office. Justin will be down in two minutes, how was your vacation?" Dad asks, leading Mr Lawfeld further into the house. As the other man talks, dad looks back at me and points to the stairs and I'm guessing he wants me to go fetch Justin.

Sighing, I climb up the stairs and try my very best to push away any anxious thoughts. 

Rather than barging in, I knock on Justin's door and hear a grunt from the other side. I take this as my permission to enter. 

Slowly, I open the door and peak my head inside. "Justin?" I softly call out to him.

No reply. 

His bed is made which surprises me, but I don't see him. Opening the door wider, I hesitantly take a step inside. "Justin, where- oh," I breathe out when I see Justin walk out of the attached bathroom in his bedroom, shirtless might I add. 

He's staring at me, his long hair draping over his face like a curtain. "You need to go downstairs, to my dad's office." I say using gestures, unsure if he understood. 

Justin nods and I take that has if he understood me before turning to head downstairs. Out of nowhere, I feel a hand clasp onto my wrist, turning me back around in shock. My lips part and my eyes are wide in shock.

Justin's finger lightly trails over to the hair tie on my wrist. I look down at it for a second before meeting his gaze again. "You want me to tie your hair back?" I ask, motioning to his hair. Justin doesn't respond this time. Instead, he walks towards the bed and sits down on it, motioning me to follow.

I do and sit behind him and he patiently waits for me to tie his hair back. I can feel his eyes staring at me through the large mirror in front of us, but I don't look back at him. Instead, I pull his hair back from his face and tie it back for him. 

His hair is really nice and silky, the type of hair you always want to run your fingers through. "There," I say when I'm done. Looking up, I finally meet his gaze through the mirror. His brown eyes flicker to the door for a second and then back at me. 

"T-thanks, Avocado." He says before he's already up and out the bedroom door, leaving me alone in his room. 

Avocado. 

He called me an avocado... again. I sigh, standing up. I should change before I go out with Justin today. I decided to take Milo for a walk and then we would make a quick stop by a cafe or something to get a quick drink of coffee or something. Later today, I'm going to Jamie's place where a few of our friends were invited, including Grant whom I was excited to see.
