Bella felt like someone had splashed her with ice cold water. As if someone had swept the ground from her feet, and she was falling to a never-ending tunnel. She couldn't believe what Ashton just told her would be an understatement. She was beyond shocked to the point that words certainly couldn't explain what she was feeling right now. And even though she had been trying to run away from him, hide from him all this time. Because she never wanted him back in her life. But now that she heard that he might marry some other girl, she felt like the man was slipping away from her. Going away from her life. And that's what she wanted all along. But now that it seemed to be coming true, she didn't like it? “So will you marry her?” Bella didn’t know why her heart was thudding loudly, ready to jump out its ribcage. She didn’t know if she wanted to hear the answer to that question. Her lips trembled with every word as she questioned him. And the question rolled out in impulse before she coul
"Shouldn't you be having breakfast right now? What are you doing here? Did you miss me so much that you followed me here? Awww! Bella, I didn't know you were this clingy." Ashton uttered while giving Bella a teasing smirk which did nothing except making her want to face-palm herself. This boy was seriously impossible."I shouldn't have bothered. I don't even know, why did I even ask!" Bella grunted and turned around in disbelief, ready to go back inside.Here she was so worried about him that she couldn't even swallow another bite of her sandwich and eventually gave up at pretending to be fine with Ashton leaving the table while fuming. But now the boy was cracking jokes. For god's sake what was wrong with him.Bella knew him well enough to know that he didn't like showing his emotions in front of others especially when something is hurting him rather, he would throw and break stuff like a little kid with tantrums. Either he would keep a poker face all the time or his veins would be p
"Ashton-!! What the hell are you doing?!" Bella shouted as her eyes widened at the sight of Ashton punching the wall vigorously like a mad man and Bella shuddered at it. She couldn't believe at what her eyes were witness. It was if the old Ashton was back. That monster Ashton.Surely Ashton was still an arrogant, narcissistic bastard who didn't give a fuck about others but she couldn't remember the last time when she had she seen the MONSTER ASHTON, the real monster fueling with rage and burning down everything coming his way. The monster Ashton who loved shattering things when in pain."Ashton- ASHTON!! ASHTON STOP IT." Bella could care less about staying away and avoiding Ashton at the moment as her feet marched towards own their own accord. Running quickly, she held his hand to stop him from hitting the wall anymore."Let go you fuck-..." Ashton yelled but his words died down in his throat when he saw who had dared to grab his hand. Of course, it couldn't have been anyone else but
Never in her life Bella had ever been this scared to eat breakfast with others. In fact, the chirpy girl she is, she had always enjoyed sitting together with her friends and family to eat with them and talk about anything and everything during that time which all of them spend together. But right now, to say she was terrified to even step out of her room was an understatement.Because she was embarrassed to death, she couldn't believe that she was drunk to the point that she was ready to lose herself in the electric current she felt with her body close to his. And the worst part, she was the one to initiate the physical intimacy and ironically Ashton was the one sane one to not take advantage of her intoxicated state. She had never felt this ashamed.Sure she liked how their bodies molded as one, how his lips felt on hers, how his strong arms wrapped around her into a warm embrace filling her up with a sense of security and maybe care, love? But that wasn't the point. The whole scenar
The most hardest thing for Bella was going to be to face Ashton after what blunder she had done. Regardless of her being drunk yesterday night or not. She still didn't know how to confront the man and what for.Like what could she possibly say. Her mind had short circuited and she couldn't think of any justifiable or at least convincing statement for her actions. For fuck's sake she couldn't comprehend it herself."We should forget it. Whatever happened yesterday. I mean you were drunk so were I. It was a mistake. Let's get past it, after all its a new day. New beginning. So, let's be cool about it and pretend like it never happened and be merry." Bella was trying to come up with a speech as she dried her hair with the blow dryer."Look, I am sorry Ashton. I was too wasted yesterday, I wasn't in my senses. What happened shouldn't have happened, frigging shit I shouldn't have come to your room to begin with. I just want to apologize for that. Can we go back to we were before that?" yea
"Ahh, my head feels like it will come burst." Bella was groaning as her head throbbed. It felt like someone was hammering nails in her head with no mercy. She was twisting and turning in bed to hide her face from the blaring sunlight which was piercing through the window but she felt as if she was encaged, a weight around her waist. And damn, the pillow was so uncomfortable. Aren't pillows supposed to be fluffy and soft, why this one was rock hard?The more Bella tried to stir in her sleep the more she felt like she was being pulled. Pulled towards something or someone, closer and closer. She felt a ticklish sensation as if someone was breathing close to her face and she started to freak out when she heard faint snores. It had her eyes open in an instant like cold water was thrown at her. Well, the situation in front of her surely gave her chills and her blood ran cold. She was all snuggled up to Ashton."Shoot! Why the hell am I freaking cuddling with Ashton. Heck, What have you don
