Chapter 5

Ashley Falls: "When I told Jane, she asked me not to trust you. She said he is a bad rich brat who wants to use you but I said nooo, his feelings for me looked pure. So, I should give him a chance. You know she also said that you probably made a bet with your friends to win me. That's why you came after me." I laughed nervously.

"Then, what did you say?" He asked with cold expressions.

I was happy that he was actually believing me and I said, "what did I say……. I said that nooo, he didn't look like that. He looked cool".

"But you said that I am not your type". He said.

"Hah, haha, I was joking back then. I thought that you were pranking me. I am totally into bad cold boys". I again laughed nervously and drank water.

Waiter came and he handed me the menu. I was looking at the dishes and I didn't know any of them. It was my first time in a fancy restaurant. 

Have you decided ma'am. Waiter asked.

Ah,..... I was just speechless and then he said, "we want pizza of all flavors. And we want cola as a drink."

"How do you know I like pizza and cola?" I said with excitement ignoring all the nervousness.

"I did my research". He said.

Yeah, I know. I said in my mind.

We were eating and there was complete silence. Then, suddenly he looked at me and stopped eating. He put his knife and fork on the table. He stood up and bent towards me. We were making eye contact and I also stopped eating. He came very close to my face.

He wiped my lower lip with his finger because of ketchup on it. Then, he sat down again without breaking eye contact. He looked at his finger and then he put that finger in his mouth. He sucked that finger seductively, he ate that ketchup.We ate and I really wanted to go home. 

"Come with me".He said while standing after paying the bill.

"Where". I asked.

"To my home. I wanted to show you something". He said.

I got nervous and afraid." What no, it's too late. I need to go home. Maybe some other day". I said.

"But I wanted to show you now". He said with cold expressions.

"You can do it". I whispered and said. "Okay". He handed me a helmet and we rode on a heavy bike to his house. The biggest house on the island. I was shocked and my eyes widened after seeing the house from outside. Maybe my mouth was also opened.

"This is your house". I asked.

"Yes". He said.

The house in which people just dream to live. I actually wanted to see from inside. We entered the house. There was a garden and a pool after entering. Then there was another door. We went into the house through that door. I was looking at every corner.

"So, you wanted to show me your house". I said while smiling. 

"No, that's in the room. The thing I wanted to show". He said.

My skin was pale. I was afraid and I said that "I wanted to use the bathroom". He showed me the bathroom. I went to the bathroom and started weeping. I called Jane nervously.

She picked up the phone. "Hello….hello. Jane, he wanted me to show a room. I am afraid. Please help me Jane".

"Ashley, can you explain?" Jane said.

I told her about all the things.

"First of all, calm down and listen to me. When you get in his room. Check out every corner to see if there is any hidden camera or not. You need to be careful". Jane said.

"I don't want to do it". I said.

"Ashley, you are a grown girl. Come to your senses. He is a solution to your problems. Nobody forced you to go with him. It was your choice". Jane said.

I washed my face and wiped the tears. I turned on the location of my phone and held it tightly in my hand. I went out of the bathroom and said, "sorry for keeping you waiting".

"It's okay". He said and then he took my hand. I was looking at our hands. He took me and opened the door of the room. I was totally surprised after seeing in the room. There was a standing table and some chairs. A cake was present on the table and some other dishes. The whole room was decorated with flowers and balloons. I went to the table to see cake.

It was a chocolate cake and happy birthday was written on it. 

"I am sorry but it's not my birthday. You probably got some wrong information". I said.

"It's my birthday". He said.

"What?" I turned around to see him and said.

"I wanted to spend my birthday with someone I love". He said.

I was surprised at his answer. I was wrong about his intentions. 

"I am sorry I didn't bring any gift". I said.

"You already gave me the gift by accepting my offer". He said.

I was just looking at him and he handed me a party pooper. He took my other hand in his hand. We both were holding the knife and we cut the cake together. The feel of his touch was bringing butterflies in my stomach.
