My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mateย ย ย Chapter 78 : Sneak Encounter
Ashley POVOnce I finished washing the dishes, I went back to my room and picked up the cell phone that was recharging its battery on the table before sinking into bed. Knowing that Jayden was practicing with them made me contemplate giving Miles a call in person, so I decided to send a text message. It took a while to string together words that didn't sound awkward. Or so I hoped.10.32 - Hi, this is Ashley. I was wondering if you had time to meet up and talk about Jayden's past in private. You guys probably forgot to write down something on the master list of notes that could still help him recover his memories.I quickly erased the smiling emoticon I had added to the message, then clicked the send button. My heartbeat quickens as I wait, despite my efforts to ignore it, and it gets even faster when my phone vibrates after a few minutes.10.35 - Sure, I have some free time now. Want me to get there right away?Well, that's actually better, but I know I can't risk Jayden finding me w

Ashley POVโAnyway...โ I took off my jacket and bag and hung them on the armrest of the couch. โHow long do you guys usually do dances for?โโAnywhere from four to ten hours. Depends.โโMust be hard,โ I said while giving a sympathetic smile. Mentally, I gathered the information I had, both from Eva and from general rumors, I knew an idol pop star's schedule could be much worse than that. Especially at the beginning of their career.Miles lowered his cup to his lap. โYou'll get used to it,โ he said. I couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or not.โWhat about today?โ I asked. โNow they're with Jayden, who doesn't know anything.โโThey'll probably go easier on him.โ"I don't think he'll let them," I said frankly.He let out a small laugh. โI don't think so. Who knows, you might not see him until dinner.โSo, I still had time. Still, I would do my best to get back home as soon as possible. I couldn't risk Jayden, or any of his other friends, knowing about my meeting with Miles.โSpeak

Ashley POVPinching the bridge of my nose, I pondered the real purpose of coming hereโ to find out more about Jayden and Blair's relationship. But all I got was a glimpse of the circumstances surrounding it. Even with the fact that Blair and Jean could have been a couple if not for Jean's decision to back out, or whatever the male actor did to her, I still didn't know much about how Jayden and Blair's relationship was before.However, from what I know now, does their relationship really sound good? If it wasn't for the brief encounter I caught between Jayden and Blair after the concert, if I had only heard a few but crucial details about their relationship, would I still feel so opposed to following my desires the way I do now?โThis turned out to be a lot harder than I thought,โ I breathed out wearily.โDid you really come here expecting me to have all the answers?โ Miles asked.โNo,โ I admitted, albeit a little sadly. โBut I was actually hoping to get something that didn't require m

Ashley POVFor once, Miles seemed dissatisfied, and he quickly explained the situation in the most blunt way possible, the speed of his words being the only indication that he was at least a little embarrassed. I blushed even after the woman headed into the kitchen after she took our order, and I made sure to change the flow of the conversation to something that wouldn't bring up the two of us.So, I talked about the only thing we had in common, which was the one and only, Jayden Keller. It was fun. We traded embarrassing stories about Jayden from childhood for outrageous stories about him during his teenage years, which Miles seemed eager to provide the most brutal details about. Frankly speaking, it had been my goal all along to find out more about how Jayden acted with his boy band mates, and I was even a little excited about it. Ever since I found out that Jayden was very different when he was with his friends compared to when he was with me, I wanted to know how that happened, ho

Ashley POVSeeing how much clarity Miles gave on the Blair Anderson and Jayden situation, I would have thought that I would have seen it differently. And I do. Just not the way I expected to see myself a month ago when I hadn't yet gotten to know the amnesiac Jayden, and maybe even Jayden around his friends, his bandmates.Maybe even like when he was with Blair.No, I wasn't mad at Jayden. Despite his previous attitude toward me, I felt sorry for him.But I wasn't acting on those feelings.In fact, I couldn't deny the feeling that there was some sort of barrier between the two of us. Ever since that night with his bandmates, when I was shocked by the fact that my presence would become something pointless in Jayden's world, the first few figurative bricks had been laid. And while I remained as stony-faced as he was, I couldn't help but feel him gradually slipping out of my reach.And making his way to his dreams.Almost a week had passed since I met secretly with Miles.

Ashley POVโI mean, it's not every day that someone I know gets married. At least out of all my brothers."โThen why are you waiting?โ I asked.He didn't answer for a while. I just sat in the back of the latest model Audi, cussing with my quick tongue, but I had to admit I was also waiting, expecting... something.โDon't worry,โ he said finally. โI'll see you later.โโOkay,โ I said without guilt, despite knowing we had both crossed the unclear boundaries of our relationship. โSee you later.โโYeah.โHe hung up before I did, and I dropped my phone into my lap. I needed to calm my feelings, and I needed to do so before arriving at the airport. Despite feeling tired after a long day of work, my racing heartbeat was pumping adrenaline into my body.Adrenaline, caused by the tension of meeting my new fiancรฉ, and against the backdrop of my father's incident and Jayden's reluctance.Jared Owen Keller. Apart from the age difference, he and I never became very close. Jared had always kept his

Ashley POVHis eyes didn't move a centimeter from mine during that short but significant span of time.โI hope you don't have to wait too long,โ I said as I shifted in my seat. The Audi wasn't big, it was sleeker and built for style and luxury, so I was no more than an arm's length away from Jared. โDid you... have dinner?โโYes.โ He turned away from me, directing his attention out the window.I almost let out a sigh of relief. โAh, well. Do you have a place to stay?โโI've booked a room at a hotel near here. David will drive us there right now,โ he added before I could dig up any more information to give David a hint.โWe won't get there until ten at night, at least,โ I said and, before I could stop myself, I continued, โThough later, if you want to meet Jayden first...โAs much as I respected Jayden and recognized that the complicated relationship the two of us had didn't need any more pressure, I felt as if I owed it to his brother to meet him.

Ashley POV"Of course," I replied in an irritated tone. I stepped out of the car, desperate for some fresh air despite the smoke, and slammed the car door behind me. I turned away from the curious look I was getting from David, as well as the familiar look of two hazel eyes.โGood. That's good. How was the report?โI leaned against the car with a frown. โ'Report'?โ I repeated.โYes, report.โ She sounded annoyed. โIs the connection bad?โ"No, I heard you clearly," I replied, still puzzled. โBut why are you asking me that?โ The crease between my eyes deepened. โWait, how do you know he's working on something like a report?โโHeโโ Mom cut off her own words, but I heard her voice, muffled as if she was hanging up the phone or pressing it against a cloth, talking to someone else. It took almost a minute before she returned, her voice now a hundred times softer. It didn't take a genius to figure out who she was talking to.โYou made me wake your father,โ she said. โHe's very restless right

Ashley POVJared reached out and shook Samuelโs hand without even blinking. That surprised me, considering Samuelโs old injury, but Jaredโs grip was firm and smooth.โJared Keller,โ he said with a hint of a smile. โAnd Iโm sure the best wedding photographer in the city is more than capable of taking a few photos of me and my fiancรฉe.โHis voice, usually cold and even, actually sounded warm this timeโ nothing like the sharp tone he usually used with me. But that didnโt bother me. Not one bit.Because I knew Jared. I knew that when he wanted to, he could charm anyoneโ regardless of gender. That cool, intimidating aura of his didnโt stop him from flipping a switch and turning into the smoothest guy in the room.And honestly? The fact he was using that tone with someone other than me or Eva? It was kind of a relief.When Jared talked like that, people couldnโt help but feel confident, maybe even proudโ like they mattered. Like Jared saw something special in them, even if they barely knew

Ashley POVโAnd... smile!โThe umbrella lights flashed across the room, making my vision blur for a second. I blinked quickly, waiting for the black dots to fade as my eyes adjusted to the pastel walls, the endless fake white and blush roses surrounding me, and the bulky guy standing behind the camera set up in front of me.Raising his hand, he gave the universal โokayโ gesture. โBeautiful, beautiful,โ he said excitedly. โNow, if you could just tilt your head a little to the side and angle your chin to the right...โWithout a word, I followed his instructions, rewarded with a delighted squeal and another blinding flash. โYes, thatโs it! And maybe move your hand like this...โ he said, demonstrating with his left hand. I copied him. โYesss! Perfect! I gotta say,โ he went on with a big grin, โyou are the most stunning bride Iโve ever seen, Ashley Van Smith. Your fiancรฉ is one lucky guy.โThe camera clicked and the lights flashed again.โThanks, Sam,โ I said once my vision started coming

Jayden POVโJay, are you okay?โโHow many times do I have to answer that?โ I didn't look up from my phone screen even though I'd probably read the same news article about criminals a thousand times. Somehow, the drive to the restaurant felt like an eternity, or, at least, that's how I felt when I was stuck in the car with nothing to hear but silly questions.I was fine, though.โHow many times does it take you to spill the fucking truth,โ Hunter asked, his voice coming from dangerously close behind me.I lifted my phone over my shoulder so he could see what I was doing, then snorted. I took the only open passenger seat in the front on the pretense that I was feeling sick because I was so damn starving, but now here I was suddenly wondering if it would be better to sit in the very back seat.But there was Miles already seated, and I didn't like the way he was looking at me as I turned towards him.โJayden...โ Jamie's tone was low, worried.โGet off of my back,โ I snapped. โI'm fine, ok

Jayden POVโNo,โ I stated simply. โSheโฆ Everyone thinks we're just family friends.โโWell,โ she went on, the glint in her eyes turning cold. Extremely cold, like merciless stones of ice. โAs of today, that won't be a lie anymore.โMy brows furrowed, I couldn't help but let the fear caused by my anxiety creep up my voice. โWhat do you mean?โ I asked in a tone that hopefully sounded calm.She pulled the engagement ring off her finger and held it out to me. โI'm calling off our engagement,โ she said harshly. โI won't - won't marry a cheating bastard like you. You can live happily ever after with someone else, like Blair Anderson.โ A mocking sneer spread across her face. โSmile, Jayden - you're finally getting rid of me, may you live happily ever after with your dear girlfriend.โ What she said after that sucked the life out of me as if part of my soul had been taken away. โOh, and before I forget, I, Ashley Van Smith, of the Red Moon Pack, reject Jayden Ronan Keller, of the Crimson Pack,

Jayden POVโWhat are you doing here, Ashley?โIt wasn't my intention to lash out at her, but I was too shocked to find other words, so my tongue moved faster than my brain. She looked flabbergasted at my words, her face turning redder than a ripe tomato as she caught sight of me and my group of friends. Her lips parted and sealed, then parted again, but this time to my astonishment. She was stunned. Angry, too.And hurting more than I'd ever seen her before.โJayden,โ Tyler said hesitantly, breaking the silence down the hallway that had suddenly become eerily quiet. โIsn't she a friend of your family?โโIs it really her?โ asked Jax, glancing curiously between me and Ashley while scratching his face.Later on, Jamie stepped in front of me as soon as I snarled at Ashley with both shoulders raised but immediately loosened up at Tyler's words. โOh yeah, I've seen your face before, on the news.โHunter snapped his fingers. โThat's right!โ he said as he realized something. โWhenever you two

Jayden POV23.02 - Fine, I'll go get your stuff. See you in five minutes?23.02 - Perfect! Hey, baby, you're not mad at me, right?Rolling my eyes, I replied with the word โNoโ. To be frank, I'm not mad at her. I'm just tired of her. Blair was prettier than most, very talented, and kind despite being more of a loner than Jean and overall she was a very nice girl. She is the kind of girl that guys dream about, because of her sweet and lovable nature, her graceful and slender figure. In fact, she was exactly what I wanted when I first laid eyes on her. I used to think I could finally fall in love, and it would be with her because she's almost perfect in every way. I mean, how could a guy not like a woman like Blair?At first, it was fun and exciting. I had never had someone... someone who I knew was definitely interested in me and talked to me for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. She made me break down my walls, to the point where I felt I could trust her. I thought I could

Jayden POVโFlashback a few hours before the accident after the concert in NY in FebruaryโโGood job, everyone! That's a wrap for our concert in NY!โClark escorted the seven of us from backstage to one of the leather couches in the dressing room before darting off somewhere. Some of the other coordinators and managers who had been with us for a few months to a few years came next, all with smiles on their faces. I poured the last contents of my water bottle over my head to cool down as I sat next to Jax. The liquid dripped down my face, neck, and back, soaking the black T-shirt I wore at the end of the concert, and though it felt relatively warm, I was still able to breathe a sigh of relief.โThere's a place called the bathroom.โ Tyler leaned over to my right and tugged gently on my sleeve. โMan, you're soaked.โโYou too,โ I retorted as I stared intently at his hair stuck to his forehead.โI'm starving,โ whimpered Jean as he fanned himself frantically with someone's magazine.

Ashley POVJayden was checking himself out in the massive mirror, eyes trailing from head to toe. His dyed light brown hair was a mess, and he had just enough makeup on to cover the small scar on his left cheek. Titanium earrings dangled from his ears, and rings wrapped around his fingers. He wore a red bomber jacket over a teal patterned shirt, paired with tightโ very tightโ black skinny jeans and branded sneakers to complete the look.โHey,โ he greeted, locking eyes with me through the mirror.I pushed a rolling clothing rack filled with expensive-looking shirts and jackets. โNo white tees? Whatโs going on?โ I asked.Jayden let out a small laugh. โSorry to disappoint,โ he replied, adjusting his collar. โAnyway, where have you been? Iโve been looking everywhere for you.โโI was at the mall,โ I lied, trying my hardest not to rub my wrist. โIโm actually feeling kinda sick. I donโt know if I can stay for the whole concert.โHe immediately turned to me. โYou have to,โ he said, a hint of

Ashley POVChugging his water bottle, Jayden turned his attention back to his friends. Miles, however, kept sneaking glances at me, his expression unreadable. I gave him a small smile anyway, hoping to reassure him that I was fine.A lie, of course. I was fine. I just had no idea how.โAre you and Miles having a thing or...?โMy jaw practically hit the floor, and I gawked at Blair in disbelief. โWhat?โ I blurted, unable to hide my shock. โOf course not!โShe tapped a finger against her chin, flashing me an apologetic smile. โSorry, that was kind of fishy.โ She came closer, the scent of her strawberry perfume stinging my nose even more. โCome on, weโre friends. You can tell me.โI was this close to telling her that friendship didnโt work that way. Hell, I wanted to punch her square in the jaw. But I managed to hold back and just shook my head. โNo, really,โ I said, sneakily shifting away from her. โThereโs nothing going on between me and him. Or anyone else in this group, for that matt
