Dive Into Love Chapter 22 - Taking Care Of The Cute Monster!
Minutes later the door was opened. Bella raised her head to get a glimpse of the person who stepped out. The person was definitely not very young but not too old either. His hair black and body well maintained even at his age was something quite commendable and he had that dominating aura around him. Bella didn't knew who he was but whoever he was Ashton sure didn't give a damn about it and it was so obvious by the way he treated him like some crap.She restained herself to use the word dog poop just to be a little respectful even if she didn't say anything out loud.Bella flinched when the said person slammed the door mercilessly. He was in a foul mood and maybe upset too. She couldn't pinpoint. She stared at his back until his figure was disappeared in the corridors and she couldn't see anything after that expect the empty benches. She gulped down in fear, afraid to face what led behind those now shut doors, Ashton. Was he still fuming in anger? Had he calmed down yet? But Bella did
Dive Into Love Chapter 23 - Being The Babysitter!!
"Let me help you." she cleared her throat and again took the sandwich from the plate to feed him. Although her cheeks were flaring red in embarrassment but she knew she just couldn't leave him starving so swallowing that bitter embarrassment down her throat and neared sandwich close to his mouth, waiting for him to eat. Ashton couldn't express what he was feeling right now. He was so overwhelmed and happy and he could help it but grin widely to his heart's content before taking a bite. "This idiot!!" Bella yelled in frustration. Ashton was the one to get injured and he might think Bella had become his personal nerse or servant rather than a secretary. She sighed in exhaustion as the boy wasn't even letting her breath for a minute. It was better to never treat him nicely. She regret feeding him that freaking sandwiche a week ago. "Bell- Miss Evans..." and there he called for her again. She stomped her feet on the ground and walked to his cabin while faking a smile. "Yes sir." she r
Dive Into Love Chapter 24 - Care Or Curious? Maybe Both!
"We are here." Bella announced to a half asleep Ashton when they reached the so - called - favourite - restaurant of Ashton's choice. All the traces of slight sleep he had in his eyes were thrown out of the window. This time instead of letting Ashton struggle with the passenger door as it would waste her more time so she came close to his seat. Close enough that he could feel her breath fanning his face lightly getting Aston completely frozen at his place while Bella bent a little over and opened the door for him. "Here you go." Bella smiled totally unaware of how she was giving Ashton shivers. The poor guy coughed feeling his throat dry. Ashton walked out of the car hurriedly to get some air so he could breath and also to hide his burning red face. "When am I suppose to come to pick you sir?" Bella asked Ashton in her fake sweet voice as mentally she had stabbed him a thousand times for keeping her busy since earlier and now even killing her lunchtime. Besides now that she was free
Dive Into Love Chapter 25 - California I'M Coming!!
Bella couldn't be anymore happier as finally the D-DAY was only five days away. Even though Ashton had still not stopped pestering her with his petty request or so - called - orders on the name of having a plastered hand. But Bella was just too enthralled to see how the whole planning and more over the proposal will go to be too bothered by Ashton's annoying behaviour. And what could be more better than a beach for a proposal right. Specially cherry on the top was the fact that the beach she was about to set on was the exact place where Jason and Rebecca had met for the very time. Well you can't blame her for screaming. Right now she was packing her bags to catch the fight to California. She couldn't wait to see how this whole thing would turn out because a) she had always been a sucker for romantic proposals and b) it was her first time on working something like this, working on setting up a place for proposal. Beaches beings attraction pulling her under too. Well everyone has a d
Dive Into Love Chapter 26 - Airplanes And Panic attacks
"Didn't you say you don't like someone else driving?" Bella pointed out while glaring at Ashton who was smiling sheepishly. She still wasn't over the fact that he had made her drive all the way to a restaurant when she was willing to bolt out of office for lunch and have some time for herself even if that would have been for a little while but that devil hadn't even let that happen. Granted at the end she still had lunch at an awesome and needless to say an expensive resturant which was both bitter sweet for her. Because as much as she was thrilled about it yet she couldn't shake away the thought of how different their social status was. It reminded her how different their worlds were."Well someone that I don't know aka a stranger. But this driver isn't a stranger he had been my dad's driver ever since I was a kid. So I am comfortable. And besides Miss. Evans I told you I will pick you up so could I really come to pick you up with my still hurting hand. " Ashton replied while fake g
Dive Into Love Chapter 27 - He Is A Keeper!
Whenever the plane would about to take off or land her stomach would start to turn into twists and she would feel uneasy as an unsettling fear would start to creep up to her heart making her unconsciously ball her fists or hold on to something and this time that something happened to be the guy she hated with passion but ironically he was the one right now who made her feel safe, who became her anchor. Ashton was quick to catch on the moment of panic Bella was having so without uttering a word he just intertwined the hand Bella was hold and started to rub soft circles at the back of her hand while whispering its okay and I am here every now and then which somehow actually made Bella calm as she felt assured and her body relaxed under his touch."I am really sor-" Bella didn't get to finish her sentence as Ashton interrupted her in between."It's okay." Ashton replied with a slight smile trying to assure her in some way."Ermm.. Now you can let go of my hand." Bella uttered as he was s
Dive Into Love Chapter 28 - High-pitched Silence
"Finally..." Bella smiled widely to herself in delight as she was finally in California. It was just too real to believe for her. It was as if she was still in daze. Even though the trip was planned and well known to her still now that she was actually here, it felt real. She was literally squealing inside but tried not to act like a crazy woman at the airport for the sake of her dignity. It was just too enthralling for her. "Let's go to the resort. Our team must be waiting." Ashton retorted while wearing his sunglasses and startling Bella at his sudden voice. They stuffed their luggage in the cab and drove off to the said resort at the beach. The team and them were supposed to board the same plane but fortunately or unfortunately Ashton and Bella couldn't get the tickets for themselves as the seats weren't available anymore so they had to book next flight. So the team had already reached at the resort an ago. The car ride was salient. Neither Ashton knew what to say nor Bella could
Dive Into Love Chapter 29 - Insecure Greek God
"Here let me help you." Bella looked in front of her as Sam snatched the bags from her with a grin plastered on his face. He was a very sweet and loving loving guy as far as Bella had known him during working together all this time. And not to mention, he was handsome.His ash-brown hair which had natural slight curls. His honey brown eyes and well she didn't actually ever believed that dimples were cute until she saw his adorable dimpled smile. But looks weren't the only thing he had, his pretty face just a bonus while he worked very hard to reach at the position where he was now."No Sam it's okay I can do it." Bella insisted on carrying the bags herself but Sam was stubborn and didn't let her get the bags from him to which Bella just sighed and let him do whatever he wanted."After all how can I let my most co-worker carry so much load with her fragile hands." and Bella ended up laughing hysterically at his exaggeration. Ever since they had first sat together in office cafeteria fo

Dive Into Love Chapter 39 - Old Scars Don't Heal Easy
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
Dive Into Love Chapter - 38 Love Is A Luxury
"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
Dive Into Love Chapter 37 - The Monster Within Him
"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
Dive Into Love Chapter 36 - Life, Unfortunately!
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
Dive Into Love Chapter 35 - Past Under New Light
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
Dive Into Love Chapter 34 - Because I Love You!
"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
Dive Into Love Chapter 33 - Never Have I Ever Gone Hot
"So who's going to start?" Bella slurred while her doe eyes stared at the person sitting right next to her with anticipation so how could Ashton could have denied when she seemed so hopeful and moreover when this time she was the one taking the initiative."Ermm.. I don't mind you can start." a smile adorned his face when Bella clasped her hands together in delight it sure was infectious because Ashton couldn't stop but mirror her excitement."Okay let me think." Bella cutely pursed her lips while tapping her finger under her chin in an attempt to rile her brain to come up with something cool and fascinating unaware of the fact that Ashton was already admiring her with the game being the last thing on his mind right now. All he could see at the moment was her it was as if everything else was blurred and sure enough drunk Bella had her own charm that held him captive."Never have I ever pole danced." Bella chided while looking at Ashton as her eyes blew wild when he took a sip from the
Dive Into Love Chapter 32 - Because I Am Drunk
Ashton for sure was planning to get drunk and totally wasted because too many things were going on in his life for him to stay calm. Feeling always at the edge he felt like this party was his perfect chance to forget about how much of a fucked up he was. Well it was just a plan but that was until his father decided to call him, it just made his plan into something not out of choice but something he just had to do. Going back to where their barbecue was set up, Ashton picked up a whisky bottle from there again and took a swig. A groan escaped his lips at the sensation of whisky going down while burning his throat along the way. He wanted to enjoy this moment but there he was sitting at a corner with nothing except gloominess."How about some drink games?" Jenny suggested with a grin."Yeah there can't be any party without games." Kimberly joined in the agreement with enthusiasm while Sam too nodded in agreement and because Bella had enough of being copped up in her shell, she was ready
Dive Into Love Chapter 31 - Brave & Wild!!
Tiny sand particles tickling his feet a little and leaving a cooling sensation, it felt good. He looked at his left where sat a bottle of whiskey which he picked up before ditching the so called party, the very bottle that he was so intrigued to mash someone's head with ahem - Sam. Well whiskey was more valuable. So instead he decided to make a better use of it which was looking at the waves crashing at a distance he brought the bottle to his lips and chugged it down while enjoying the view. Indeed a better use if not the best. Sure the things were going haywire but maybe he could let be for tomorrow and just listen to heart beating rhythmically with once waves. Even if just for a little moment, his heart felt at ease."What are you doing here?" Ashton turned his neck so fast at the familiar voice that he was sure it would have strained while he stared at the person standing in front of him with an array of emotions. "Nothing just..." he let his words float in the air without any cl
