ASHLEY.
I look back to Heather sitting next to my brother so innocently like they weren't just eating each other faces outside this room, before taking my eyes to meet my mom's ferocious gaze and almost rolling my eyes at the look on her face.
"Out. I'm home. " I tell her, sidestepping her to move further into the room, and leaving her to trail behind me.
"What do you mean out? You have been out for a long time, Ashley. This is late. " She complains and I turn to her view with creased brows, "And I'm an adult, mother. I can take care of myself and it isn't that late anyway. Please stop overreacting. " I sigh, and she shakes her head, her hands firmly on her hips.
"You aren't the one to tell me how to discipline my daughter, young lady. Where were you?" At first, I thought of trickery, I thought of the need to lay low, I thought of Sinclair's words, but the fact that sh

ASHLEY."Come on. " Sin tugs me up, pulling me to his chest and I groan in protest, extending my hands as an obstruction between our bodies."I'm dirty. " I warn him, and he chuckles, saying, "I know, Little Greene. And I made you dirty so I don't care about it. I just want to hug you. ""We still have to get out there, Sinclair. The two of us shouldn't reek of sex. " I complain and he pulls back a bit, his hands hanging around my waist, "I don't care if I do. Makes it all better. " He winks and I roll my eyes, but I'm unable to hide the smile on my face."I think you made that clear, but I'm serious, Sinclair. I'm dirty. Move. " I snap and he groans before reluctantly stepping away with a pout on his face."I should clean up. " I tell him, glancing down at my body before spinning to the mirror. His cum is smeared across my face, and there's a trail on my

ASHLEY."Why did you think he would be here?" I sigh as we watch the man walk away from us with a strange look on his face. Heather shakes her head, and says, "I honestly don't know. He told me he comes here once in a while and I just... I don't know. I thought his first escape would be here. "I lean back against the wall as I try my brother's contact again, and just like the last ten times; it says the same thing—unavailable.Where the fuck is he?"Do you think he could have gone to the girl?" I question Heather."No, " she protests. "Vincent isn't that dumb. He wouldn't chase her around. Especially not after the ugly past they had. " An ugly past I do not know. The thought brings me to the actualization that I have little to no knowledge about what goes on with my brother's life. Was I not paying attention adequately, or was he being discreet about it?

ASHLEY. "Are you okay?" Lucinda's voice snaps me out of my thoughts and I smile at her, nodding as I toss my phone to the side. "You sure you're okay? Did something happen with Sinclair again? You kept drifting off. " She points out and I shake my head, saying, "No, nothing happened with him. I just miss him. " I sigh. She lifts her brows, "he isn't around?" I can barely hear her words as she munches on her food and I roll my eyes, impersonating her, "Yes, he isn't around. " Lucy gives me a glare and the middle finger and I chuckle with a shake of my head as I grab my burger. Sinclair meant it when he said he will be busy, and I understand because the man told me beforehand, but I didn't expect him to be this busy. The last text he replied to was this morning and the text sent after that haven't been read. I can't help the small chuckle that fall

ASHLEY.Did he go to his father's place? I didn't think he goes there deeming how their relationship is."You did?" I repeat and he nods, meeting my eyes before pressing a hand against my back—aiding me to bury my face in his neck. Somehow, I know whatever it is he's attempting to tell me is tough to get out from his part, and I appreciate the fact that he's willing to let me in. At least for whatever it is. He's letting me in farther."There's something I have to tell you. " He speaks, his hand fondling my back through the thin fabric of my clothing and I hum, letting my hands fall on his shoulders as I press my lips to his neck.Sinclair shudders at the contact and there's a short silence before he says, "I have a sister. "The words take me by shock and I try drawing back but he keeps his hand clasped against my back and says, "No, stay that way.

ASHLEY. Heather is frightening the hell out of me, but there's one certain thing; the woman is furious. So fucking furious. I don't think I have ever seen her this way since we met and that thought dreads me. She said it's all my fault. Sinclair is in pain all because of me? Why the fuck will he be in because of me? What's going on, even? "Is he in there? Can you let me in, please? Just one minute. I just need one minute to see him, and make sure everything is alright, then I'll leave. " I plead. I don't care how pathetic I sound, or the disgusting look Heather gives me after those words—I just need to see my man. "You shouldn't. Go back home, Ashley. " I shouldn't? So that implies Sinclair is in that house, but she isn't letting me in? "Heather—" I try again, but the woman shakes her head with a stiffened face, saying, "You know Ashley, at first I was

ASHLEY."So you guys resolved things?" Lucinda questions as she walks in and falls on the space beside me. "Judging by that smile on your face, I guess you did. " She mumbles and I give her a playful hit before hurling my phone to the side."We did. " I confirm."And where did he say he was all day?" She lifts her brows and I narrow my eyes, saying, "And why do you need to know that?""Come on! Tell me!" She whines and I laugh before laying on my side so I'm turned to her view. "He was thinking. ""Thinking? Did he spend the whole day thinking and avoiding you? " She queries in an odd tone and I nod."Okay, what was he thinking about?""How am I to know that?" I hiss and she watches me with a bizarre look on her face as she says, "So let me get this straight—Your boyfriend was out of reach the entire day, and

ASHLEY. Lucinda had been right when she mentioned how stupid I could be. When it comes to Sinclair Leovough, my intellectual proficiency is of no use and I turn to the mindless girl around. It's the fact that I see nothing else, but him whenever he is around and I have somehow managed to make it all about him. Yesterday was one of the best— if not the best— moments of my life. Outing in the wild with the man was something I wanted to try again. Something I was looking forward to again. When Sinclair dropped me off last night; the hints were there. The gloom in his eyes, the pronounced pain in his voice, the continual apology despite doing nothing to give one and the reluctance. Everything was laid right before me, and I ignored them all. It's my trust in him. It's the belief I had. I
