Chapter 27
Ashley’s POV
“So, eggs and toast for breakfast and I made some breaded pork chop for lunch—what else?” I mumbled under my breath and looked at the prepared lunch I have on the kitchen counter. It’s Trent’s day off today but I am still gonna make him food to eat in the afternoon—God knows that man will sleep through anything and eat cup noodles if I let him since I am driving myself to school today. I don’t want to bother the poor guy—he’s having some sort of troubles with his company expanding market. I want him to somehow rest a bit more.
I hate the bags under his eyes more than I hate his messy self.
Trent had been very sweet to me—and yes, we are taking things very slow. He drives
Chapter 28“Ash.” Trent groaned and trailed kisses against my jaw, going down my neck and sucking spots along the way. A moan escaped my mouth as I breathlessly ran my hand through his hair. Fuck—id he doesn’t stop I’m seriously gonna go along, fuck waiting. I am nothing but a thirsty soul in front of this handsome man. I have weaknesses too.“Trent—Ah. There.” I pleaded and whimpered as he slipped his hand inside my shirt. Trent kept murmuring litany of sweet words praising me—making me feel how beautiful I am at the very moment.He’s fucking skilled at this and I don’t know if I should be upset or over the moon cause damn, those hands and lips knows what they’re doing.“You’re so beautiful baby.” Trent growled as he lifted me up and placed me by the coun
Chapter 29Third Person’s POVThe rain was terrifying yet comforting that night—it was beautifully tragic as it floods the land—the water wasn’t murky. It was clear and the rain that fell to wash the land rid of impurities was warm and comforting.Lux loved it. He loved how chaos was both beautiful and poetic even if it destroyed a lot of thing. He loved the flowing water and he loved how the rain cascaded down his naked body as he stood under the shower that the clouds provided.It’s as if the clouds know his sorrows—they weep for the love Lux has.Maybe he wasn’t an angel after all—Lux thought as he looked at the panic the people felt as they began salvaging what they can while he stoo
Chapter 30“Oh, good.” I saw Martha peek in, yes, Pete’s wife is the school nurse. “Mr. Lee took over your class for you. Are you okay? Here, have a bottle of water first.”A water bottle was handed to me which I gratefully accepted and immediately opened to take a big gulp. That really hits the spot. Fudge. I forgot how thirsty I get when I wake up.“Thank you Martha.” I said with a smile. “I’m great now, I hope I wasn’t much trouble.”“Oh sweetie, everything for you—you should rest up and go home early today. I don’t want you passing out in front of the kids.” Martha chuckled and
Chapter 31Trent’s POVI am feeling unsettled and I don’t know why.You know that feeling when everything feels so good and things are actually turning out to be the best but somehow there’s this thing that is hidden at the back of your head saying how it’s so good to be true and that you’re gonna fuck up soon somehow someway? Cause fuck yes—that’s what I am fucking feeling right now.That shit is scary.And whatever I have with Ash is terrifying. I feel like I’m falling for him faster than I can say ‘Fuck&rsqu
Chapter 32“You are definitely into him, I haven’t seen you act like this towards anyone.” Lev smiled—a genuine one that reached his eyes, yet somewhat holds a bit of something I can’t quite decipher. Lev isn’t someone to show a lot of expression himself but his eyes are the complete opposite of him and we have known each other for quite some time now.“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I shrugged, feigning innocence.“You’re happy?”“I am.” I answered without an ounce of hesitation. Even for a short period of time I had confirmed what I felt with my beloved… I am already happy. I don’t know we could be slow yet fall so fast.“If you are then I hope you are willing to let go of your Ashley then. I think it&rsquo
Chapter 33Ashley’s POV“--then good luck telling your Ashley about this childhood friend of yours that just happened to be the same name as him—good luck explaining how he wasn’t a substitute.”As soon as I heard those words come out of Leviathan’s mouth, my heart dropped. My wholesome intention of surprising Trent in his office to grab dinner was totaled—I never thought it would be a disaster like this.As those few seconds went by, I feel the tiny breaks on my heart as well as the thousand questions running on my mind—I trust Trent, I trust that what he feels for me
Chapter 34The moment I stepped inside the house after what happened was heart wrenching. I came home to an empty house—Ashley wasn’t there. I’ve called him a lot after that—I messaged him in SNS and other shit but it was either blocked or he just doesn’t want to respond to me. He isn’t answering anything and I don’t know where to find him.I tried calling the school but they really didn’t wanna give some information about their employees and I was about to have it and buy that fucking school but I chilled—I don’t want Ashley getting even more upset with my decisions.Without anything to do, I just sighed an placed my phone down.
Chapter 35Ashley’s POVIt’s been a week. A whole week since I last saw Trent and three days since I came home to an empty house. The bastard didn’t even came home. I am not angry—I am fucking livid. First of all, when I came home I was expecting someone to at least welcome me or at least a house that’s in chaos—or even Trent at the living room, moping.I was lost during the days I was away from him, taking a break. I crashed by Philip’s place and he drives me to school every day before going to work himself. I’m glad his fiancé didn’t mind.Phil didn&rsquo
