"Alan, if you don't want me to speak to you like that, stop treating me like a property" Ashely yelled back at him, although she was very scared of him at that moment, she needed to prove a point even if it means pushing him to the wall." Ashely you are pushing this too far and you will regret it" Alan pointed his fingers at her furiously."I am not pushing it too far, the woman that hurt you is long gone, man up and move on stop treating me like I am the one who hurt you" Ashley spat."Shut up!!" Alan yelled, breaking the glass he was holding due to his tight grip and injuring himself."A..Alan, your hands are bleeding" Ashely stared in terror getting closer to him." Don't come close to me, get out" Alan groaned in pain." But Alan y.." " Get out, I don't want to see your face. Leave" Alan screamed, making Ashely scared and causing her to run out of the house.Ashely stepped out of the house not knowing what to do."Maybe I said too much," Ashely mumbled, placing her hands on her

“Arghh” Ashely screamed the moment she woke up, she was having a terrible hangover. After a while, the flashes of what happened yesterday started playing in her mind.“Ohh my goodness, what have I done?” Ashely yelled, holding her head tightly as the door clicked as if someone was about to enter.“I know you are awake, quit the play,” Alan said to Ashely who was hiding under the duvet.Peeking her head out “Good morning, I can explain” Ashely said in a tiny voice holding a finger up.“You look like a mess, freshen up and come downstairs I will make a hangover soup for you,” He said calmly, leaving the room.“Ugh, what have I done again?” She said, getting down slowly from the bed and heading to the bathroom.She had her bath and changed into shorts and baggy polo as it was the weekend and headed downstairs to meet the monster.“Come have a seat” Alan gestured to her when he saw her climbing down the stairs.“Thank you” Ashely mumbled, sitting down.“You made this?” Ashely asked, gulpi

Alan woke up in Ashely's embrace, he watched as she snored softly for a while before heading to the gym.Stirring from her sleep, Ashely opened her eyes slowly trying to boot herself for the day, she turned and met the side of the bed empty.“Where did he go?”She mumbled, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She got off the bed heading towards her room to freshen up and start her day. She was going to hang out with Shelly and Andrea later today and she was super excited about it.“There you are,” Alan's mom squealed when she saw Ashley climbing down the stairs.“Mom, I didn't know you were here, Good morning” Ashely greeted, hugging her.“Morning my dear, I cooked. We should dine together since we are family,” His mom said after the hug.“You look more beautiful than the last time I saw you and you have this glow, my son is doing a good job” She exclaimed excitedly causing Ashely to blush, hiding her face in her palms.“Have you seen him?” Ashely asked scanning around for a glimpse of Alan.“I ha

“If you can stop smiling at other men like a cheap whore, I won't speak to you like that. All of you are just the same.” He yelled back at her while Ashely stared at him in disdain.Ashely's chuckled at what he said “ Cheap whore that's what you have always thought of me” Ashely said tears threatening to fall from her eyes while Alan rubbed his hands on his face in frustration.“Ashely” “D…don't you dare call me” Ashely said, raising her fingers at him and walking off to her room.Alan stood up walking to the wine bar on the other side of the living room, he sat on one of the high seats, pouring himself a glass of whiskey and gulping it in a go. He didn't mean to call her a cheap whore but it just happened in the heat of things and it hurts him so much because he knows she is anything but not a whore.“Of all things, he could only think of me as a cheap whore” Ashley mumbled tears shimmering down her chin. She stood for long in the shower allowing the water to wash off her pains.“Goo

“Please let him in,” The Baker replied.“I am sorry for being late,” Alan said, placing a kiss on her forehead while Ashley smiled at him.“It's fine, am glad you came despite your busy schedule” Ashley smiled at him.“Let's get into it” The baker instructed them, passing the system to them.“I chose a three-tiered cake but am not sure of the color, what do you think?” Ashley asked Alan who was engrossed with the cake displayed in front of him.“Hmmm, the three-tiered cake is okay or we can make four to be more elaborate, it's our big day, and the color… your eyes” He exclaimed staring at her eyes, Ashely looking confusedly at him.“What's wrong with my eyes?” Ashley said, shooting him a quizzical look, the baker staring at them with a smile.“The color should be the color of your eyes, blue,” Alan said slowly.Ashley blushed at his words “ Not a bad idea tho, how about we make it blue and then a hazel flower design wrapped around it, how does that sound?” Ashely smiled asking the ba
