CHAPTER 2 : A FIMILIAR BIRGLAR
Enjoy ❤ ❤ ❤
On recovering from the mini heart attack I endured on seeing him after two years, I took in his appearance.
He had changed in these two long years, his t-shirt clad chest was broader, face even more angular, somehow he looked manlier and even more gorgeous, but most of all he looked exhausted. His hair was all messy, sweat dripping from his face, clearly telling how tiered he was. Doing all the tgings I should have been doing for my uncle.
And I don't know why, but suddenly the two years felt like two decades.
Recognising me, his gorgeous blue eyes displayed some sort of friendly, softness as he ran his gaze all over me, before going back to his stone-cold facade.
"Alli?"
"No it's her evil doppelganger Katherine." I said with with a fake smile.
"It is you." I could figure out if he was sad or glad on account of this fact.
Well atleast he remembers my sarcasm...
Before I could indulge him in another sarcastic comment, my phone started to ring, not even bothering to check who had called, I received the call.
Anything to distract me from this Greek god of a Devil.
"Like that makes total sense" a voice inside me said.
"It makes total sense to me." I sneered to that inner voice and put the phone to ears.
"Hello" said the person on the other line,
I replied him with a "Hello, Jack?"
Jack was calling up to check on me.
As a faint smiled reached my lips, I moved past him, in the elevator, meanwhile he made his way out. It was good to know that people care about you, to check up on you. And it was so sweet of him.
After about ten minutes I reached my home, the place where I grew up, which held thousands of memories of all my loved ones, including Ash.
And I'm back to that idiot. Well done my dear brain!!!
Also I took the name of the one should not be named... Just like The Dark Lord. (Voldemort)
For different reasons of course, he should not be named because he's and ass and not because I or for that matter anyone is scared of him.
As I entered the place, I noticed that there had been no changes the furniture was as I had left it, everything was the same. The dining table stood as it did two years ago, so did the sofa set in the next room. The same blue satin curtains were drapped around the windows.
I climbed up and made my way into my small little room, as I switched on the light, I saw that everything was clean like somebody came in here daily, and cleaned it up. Uncle Blake could barely keep his room tidy let alone mine, he's too busy with managing work. So who could have done this?
Not bothering much about that, I went into my bathroom, and took a long relaxing bath, much needed after the day I've been through. The warm water calmed me down as, I lay in the tub thinking about uncle, the doctor had assured me that he's okay, the accident made me so scared that the list of What Ifs I made up in my mind was enough to make me cry.
This was an experience which I'll never forget. This also got me thinking about my decision of leaving town. But at that time in that emotional sate maybe that was for the best.
After the long, relaxing bath, I went to my closet and picked up a full sleeved, top that once reached below my waist, but now showed a plain strip of skin just above the shorts I chose. Shorts, that were too short for me now. I definitely need to buy new clothes after all it's been two years since I fit into these.
Just as I was about to pick my phone up I started beeping ,there was a text from Care, it said:
"Hey Alli good to know that you are back !"
"I'm happy to be back too."
"We awesome threesome are now complete!!!!!!!!"
"Yeah, see you 2moro at breakfast"
"Cool"
"At Andie's?"
"Done! <3<3"
After this little talk with- the life of our group, the person who could probably make everyone laugh, even in a funeral. I thought with a small smile.
I made my way towards the kitchen, stopping in between to peak through uncle's room and it was, just like the rest of the house, exactly the same. I noticed that the lights in the kitchen were on.
I dont know why but my inner cop decided it was a good time to show up.
And to be honest I've watched too many cop shows like Castle to be unsuspicious after seeing the lights of my kitchen on while I'm home alone. Atleast I thought I was.
So assuming that someone broke into the house, I picked up a small glass vase, emptied it and entered the kitchen. I came near the burglar with intention of hitting him hard on the head and knocking him down.
And just as I pounced on him, the thief spun around and I came face to face with him, but I didn't get much time as I tripped towards him and the ground, taking him with me.
FLASHBACK
The soft breeze blew my hair, towards my face as we made our way down to the beach. Just as we reached our destination, pointing towards my hair, I said "Can someone tell me why exactly do I bother?"
"Don't worry Alli-bear you still aren't the ugliest girl I have ever laid my eyes on," muttered Luke.
"We all know that, that pleasure is reserved for our cute little Care" Mase popped in.
At this Ashton turned towards me, raised his hands and brushed the strands of hair from my face.
"And you are still the most the beautiful girl I ever saw, Angel." he said with a genuine, breath-taking smile.
I crashed him a tight hug while saying "Awwww man, I really do love you."
"Yeah girl, we love you too," said K
ate with a huge smile.
"Always and Forever" joined Care.
"Don't people get tiered of your cheesiness, seriously guys how do you handle her?"Luke the hater said.
"And... they'll keep quarrelling........ Always and Forever" All four of us said in unison looking at their faces which were clearly trying to say that it's the other persons fault, as they glared at each other.
While all of us just smirked.
END OF FLASHBACK
The vase now layed on the ground, fortunately still in one piece. As it first landed on my hand, instead of the floor.
And I lay on top of him, as our gazes locked and we just kept staring into each other's eyes. His eyes held too many emotions this time: happiness, care, hurt, and also anger. My heartbeats quickened, breathing ragged.
Our lips were a few centimetres apart, his chest pressed to mine, our breaths mingling, as I smelled his strong woodsy smell and mint breath, the butterflies in my stomach were dancing all about. He was copletely and totally intoxicating.
His gaze fell to my lips only to look back into my eyes as I unable to control myself, looked down to his lips and back into his eyes. We stayed like that for what seemed like hours but were actually seconds.
Then he broke the ice by saying "Alli---"
Just as I said "Ash---"
Beep-beep-beep.
Our little moment ended with the beep-beep of the microwave.
I got up and quickly stepped back, away from him. Immediately feeling the loss of his warm touch.
"Cat got your tongue, Alli? Oh sorry, I meant Clumsy!" he asked or more like taunted, with a smirk, after staring at me after staring at me for a whole minute.
"Yours didn't seem to work a few moments ago either." I backfired, finally recovering.
"What the freaking hell were you trying to do anyways?" trying to divert the conversation, I thought.
"I believed it was a thief." I answered a little embarrassed.
"Oh so very clever of you. Actually so very Alli of you," He taunted.
"Okay wait a sec, what the heck are you doing in my house ?" I said while giving him a disgusting glance.
"What do you mean, what are you doing here, I live here." He said like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh wow Love, you seriously don't have any idea about this, do you?" he finished an arrogant smirk.
THE END.
So I think this chapter's better than the first one. But I also know it's a short one, don't worry though they will get longer as the story proceeds. What do you guys think about this chapter?
