After my wonderful evening or date with Crawf, he walked me home.
"G'night. Take care of yourself." He gave me a quick peck at my cheek and walked backwards
"Goodnight. Stay safe. And don't walk like that." I said as I waved my hand.
When he disappeared, I was about to press the doorbell but it opened before I could press it.
"Sup sis. Had a good night with Crawf?" He smiled
"Yeah. But I'm tired so I'm gonna go up to my bedroom and do not try to stop me." I pointed a finger at him
"Okay. No one will stop you." He raised both of his hands
"Hey Ashley." Someone at the couch said in a sleepy voice.
"Wh-who?" I stepped closer to the couch
"Oh, Brittney's still here. She'll sleep here." Ty closed the door
"Hey, you wanna go upstairs? You can sleep at my bed if you want to." I suggested.
She yawned and shook her head "No, but thank you. I'm sleeping at Ty's bedroom."
"Really? At Ty's bedroom. So uhm, he's gonna sleep here at the couch while you're sleeping there. Right?" I asked
"No, we're sleeping together. Right babe?" She rubbed her eye.
"Yeah." Ty nodded
"Okay. Then I'll go now." I looked at my brother first before going up.
After changing my clothes and brushing my teeth, I was ready to get my goodnight sleep.
But...
When I was in the middle of falling asleep, my phone vibrated and vibrated and vibrated.
I annoyingly snatched it from the other side of the bed and answered whoever was calling me.
"Who is it??" I managed to keep my tone calm
"Hey. You asleep?" A familiar voice asked
"Oh yeah, I'm talking to you while sleeping. Of course I'm not." Now I was really pissed, I checked at the caller's ID. Damn it, it's Chris! I sat up straight.
"So what made you call this time of the night?" I asked but this time, in a very nice tone
"I was thinking that..No, I mean..Do you perhaps..Uhm, really like my brother?" I can sense the nervousness in his tone but I will stick to the plan babeh.
"Yeah, I do. I mean, he's sweet, caring, charming, handsome, hot, lovable, yummy.. I mean, not yummy. Maybe appetizing? No. Sorry. But I really like him." I bit my lip, all the adjectives that I just described Crawf was true. This is embarrasing.
There was a moment of silence until I heard him sigh "Okay, Goodnight beautiful." And hung up.
"What? That's it??? No 'Ashley, he's not the right guy for you.' or 'Ashley,stay away from him, he's a bad boy.' or maybe 'Ashley, I like you.'.. Okay,I'm getting my hopes too high. But seriously, just like that? Well, why would he say that? It's not like I'm his girl or something. I'm his maid. He's my boss. And that's that." I crashed my back at the bed and sighed.
The thought was sad but one phrase made me smile and forget about all of that and mademe drift to sleep.
It was 'Goodnight beautiful'..
****
"Goodmorning sleepy head!!" Someone was clashing cymbals around my bedroom. And that someone is Tyler.
"Stop it! Can't you just wake me up like a normal person??" I angrily sat up and rubbed my eyes
"Oh, Are you normal??" He teased and then he played with the cymbals again.
"Why didn't you just poured me a glass of cold water?" I demanded. I was really pissed.
"You mean this??" He threw ice cubes at my face. It's not even water!! He ran outside as fast as he could while laughing.
What a brother, right? Still, I love him.
"Oh it's on brother." But I won't let him get away with this.
"Mom! Dad! Your son is so annoying! I want to smash his face with a sledge hammer! I want to wreck his whole body with a wrecking ball! Shove my fist to his ass! Wait, that's gross. Or maybe kick his balls." I shouted as I went downstairs.
"Watch your words honey." Mom said
"But you still love me right?" Ty placed his arm around my shoulder
"Get you stinking armpits off of my skin." I removed it with force
"Anyway, what kept you all night to sleep until 11:36 in the morning Ashley??" Dad asked
"No,no,no,no,no. 11:36?? I am late!" I was paranoid, I didn't know what to do.
"No worries, Mr. Collins said you can take a day off today." Ty said
"Uh, specifically who?" Of course, there are three Mr. Collins I know so I wasn't sure.
"Crawf told me over the phone that you can take the day off. He said it was your boss' orders. So I'll say, Chris.
"Thank goodness. By the way, where's Britt?" I asked
"She left awhile ago. Said her mom needed her." He replied
"Okay. I'm gonna go take a shower." I went upstairs and to my room.
I checked my phone if there's a message. I got one from Crawf
Morning sunshine ;) Got any plans for today?
A smile crept on my face after reading that
Goodmorning too :) No, I don't have any plans for today.
While waiting for his reply, I brought out the charger of my phone. And it vibrated
Wanna hit the mall today? :)
Since I don't have things to do today and it's kinda boring I agreed
Sure :)
After sometime..
Great! Be there at 1. Stay beautiful ;)
I didn't reply. I just went to shower and changed my clothes.
"You going out?" Ty asked
"Yes." I brought out some cereal and milk.
"Seriously? Cereal at this time of the day?" Ty looked at me with a brow raised
"I didn't have breakfast. Don't mind me." I took a bite
"Who you going out with?" He changed the topic
"Crawf." I said plainly
"Ooh. What's the label between you two?" He smirked
"What do you mean? Of course, friends. Duh?" I rolled my eyes at him
"If you say so. What about his brother? What's the label between you two?" The smirk on his face was still there.
"Can you please let me eat peacefully?" I said while munching my food.
"Okay. Sorry." Thankfully, he left.
It's almost 1 so I readied the things I needed.
I got a message from Crawf saying
Come out princess. Handsome prince waiting outside ;)
I said my goodbyes to my family and went outside where the 'handsome prince' is waiting.
"Hey." I stated
Crawf looked at my direction and smiled.
"Hey. After you, princess." He bowed in a prince-like manner and opened the door of his car for me.
"Thank you." I said
"You are very much welcome." And smiled again
"So, why did Chris decided to give me the day off?" I asked
"He said that he would dig some chics today and with you around, it will be hard." Crawf said who was focused on the road.
"Why would it be hard? With that handsome face plus overflowing charm and confidence. It's impossible for girls not to be attracted to him in just a glance." I said
"Hmm. Including you right? And besides he's right. You are a very attractive woman. If he'll take you with him, he'll just protect you from jealous war freak girls." He said and smirked
"Shut up." I kept my eyes staring outside
"Here we are." He parked his car at the parking lot.
"What are we going to do?" I asked
"Things people do at the mall." He shrugged.
"Like what?" I asked
"Haven't you ever gone to the mall?" He asked
"I have." I replied plainly
"Then you should know what human beings do at the mall." He said.
"Okay. We will shop, eat, watch a movie, eat again, play, and eat again." I said.
"Wow. You sure eat alot." He smiled
"I do. You should too. To keep that body, hot." I teased
"Flirty aren't we?" He grinned
"Not really." I rushed to a wonderful dress and stared at it.
"Want me to buy that for you?" Crawf brought me back to reality.
"No. But thanks. I have cash. I work, remember?" I rolled my eyes at him
"Okay." He smiled
After that, I bought the dress.
Then we shopped for some clothes and shoes and others.
"I'm starving." He said
"Then let's eat." I suggested and he nodded
After ordering, I brought out the subject about Janelle, Chris's hideous ex.
"You know Janelle?" I asked and he looked at me in disgust.
"Why?" I asked curiously
"That woman tried to seduce me. She said Chris wouldn't know if we'll have an affair." He said disbelievingly
"And you told Chris that? Right?" I asked
"Of course. And you know what he said to me? He said 'You're just jealous because I have a girlfriend' Unbelievable. I had a bad feeling about that girl from the first time I met her." He sighed.
I can't believe that he'll react in that way.
"Relax. Eat your food." The waiter just arrived with the food.
"Enjoy your meal." The waiter, who by the way, was very attractive, smiled.
"Thank you." I smiled back.
"Can I get you anything else?" He asked
"No. You can serve others. And no staring." Crawf snapped.
"You are too harsh." I threw him a table napkin.
"Yeah, I know. I'm gonna go to the restroom so you can eat first." He excused himself.
God, I was starving! I was about to take a bite when someone interrupted me.
"Oh. Look what we got here. Ashley Paige. Nice meeting you here." A very irritating voice said
I raised my head and saw a fucking slut infront of me. AKA Janelle. Who, by the way, has Chris beside her.
"Well. Hi. Can you just get out of my face? So I can eat my food?" I said annoyingly.
"Yeah sure. I wanna update you about my relationship status. I am in a relationship again with Chris." She fake smiled at me that was so obvious.
"Yeah okay. Just so you know? I don't care. So shoo." I smiled at Chris first and then to Janelle.
"Ohhh.. Heey.. You got some quite company here.." Thank you Lord. Crawf's here. I may burst into tears if he'll stay longer at the restroom.
"Oh hi Crawf!!! I missed you!!" She squeaked.
She almost hugged Crawf but he avoided it.
"Hey. Do you mind? I want to eat with her." Crawf sat down
"Yeah. We're gonna eat here anyway." She dragged Chris to the other side of the restaurant and she was seducing him.
"You okay?" Crawf asked
"Uh-huh. I'm fine. Let's just enjoy the food." I forced a smile
"You sure?" I can see the concern all over his angelic face.
"Yeah. Besides, let's stick to the plan." I munched my food.
"Here." Crawf brought out his handkerchief and softly wiped a tear from my eye.
"Thanks." I smiled
"Welcome." We ate our food silently.
I ignored the giggles of Janelle at the other side. She made her voice louder. She kept flirting with Chris. She didn't even touched her food.
I want to pull her hair. Scratch her face. I want to punch her.
But I can't.. She's his girl now..
