My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mate Chapter 67 : Reintroduction
Ashley POVAs I had guessed, Jax and Jean were standing in the kitchen along with Jamie and Hunter, waiting for me and Jayden to come in. As Jayden placed the bag of snacks on the kitchen counter, next to where I had placed the pizza boxes earlier, he kept looking down while I showed them where they could find plates, cutlery, and glasses. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the double doors to the dining room slightly ajar, which were rarely touched even when my parents were home, and Tyler and Miles slipping out between them as Jean called them to grab the pizza.I had to find a way to talk to Miles, just the two of us, as quickly and quietly as possible.Despite the friendly atmosphere, it was clear that the other six BHB boys felt awkward in my parents' apartment. Whether that nervousness was due to the fact that we were in Beverly or just because they were in an unfamiliar place, I have no idea. But as the eight of us sat around the long glass table that fit eleven people in the c

Ashley POVThe boys went back to their seats in silence. However, the mood was now lighter, and as the eight of us continued eating, small talk began to flow through the room. The boys joked, laughed, and enthusiastically retold stories of their past with Jayden. Jayden, despite still not being able to remember anything, seemed more cheerful than usual. I was relieved and surprised to see him no longer looking glum when reminded of his amnesia. Hunter and Jamie, especially, did their job very well to keep the conversation flowing and light, so there were no awkward silences or tense moments.When everyone had finished their bites, I decided to play some music in the background as the others took a break and snapped a few photos as a memento. Jayden, unexpectedly, offered to take some photos for me. Smiling slightly, I leaned back on my knees, looking through the albums that were neatly arranged on the CD storage racks located on each side of the floor-standing speakers.The night was

Ashley POVTyler glanced at his phone screen. “It's only a little past eight. I've wanted to watch 'Insidious' since it first hit theaters,” he pleaded, almost begging. “Can't we stay?”“I don't know,” Jax said, glancing at his phone. “We have an early morning rehearsal tomorrow.”“Isn't that a horror movie?” asked Hunter warily.I nodded and held my hand up in front of my mouth as I swallowed the last slice of pizza. “I mean, it does have its funny bits, but basically, it's good horror.”“Then I back out,” Hunter said.“Me too,” Jamie added quickly.“I've never seen it, right?” Jayden's voice sounded low, and I turned to look at him. His eyes sought confirmation from me, and I shook my head. “No, I don't think you've seen it.”Jayden looked down, staring at his plate. “I want to see it,” he said, still in a quiet tone.Both Jamie and Hunter jumped in and sucked in a deep breath before starting to plead with Jax not to let them watch the horror movie. I almost laughed at their antics,

Ashley POVTruth be told, it had never really bothered me until recently, because I never knew anything was different. The time I spent with Eva at school and the occasional sleepover or hangout was enough for me. After all, I was a student at one of the most prestigious universities in Beverly.But after spending time with Jayden, and now seeing him start to take the first steps towards recovery, I realized something. I realized that I didn't really have a place in his life. He had achieved popularity and fame in music, supported by his friends, with his own determination and hunger. I wasn't even part of his backstory.Or at least, that's what I thought at the time.My smile turned wistful instead of amused. When I pressed the button to lower the projector screen, images of a bitter future flashed through my mind. Even though the people behind me were arguing about who sat where I knew Jayden had noticed my changed expression. We stared at each other for a moment, and I could almost

Ashley POVI tried not to think about it as I inserted the Insidious disc into the Blu-ray player. As soon as the intro to the movie started playing, someone let out a shriek, causing me and the others to turn our heads in unison. Hunter was the target of the jokes this time. I had to wipe my tears as I burst into laughter at his horrified expression. It was funny, considering he usually always appeared so bold. But I could see he really cared about Jayden if he was willing to spend the next two and a half hours being tortured to spend time with his old friend. But, it also made me wonder.How much has his attitude changed around me, compared to when he was with his friends before he got amnesia?Once I had adjusted all the settings and made sure the video and audio were fine, I turned around with the remote in hand and found Jayden already sitting comfortably on the couch. The other four people on the main couch were still adjusting to each other, while Jax and Miles seemed to be tal

Ashley POV“The idea has crossed my mind,” I admitted coldly, ”but I don't see any logical reason how or even why. He didn't care about me before the accident, I know he didn't. So why not make this easier for everyone involved, and get Jayden off the hook with something like an arranged engagement?"He tilted his head slightly to the side. “That's selfish, and you know it.”My eyes widened. “How is that selfish?” I accused, trying my hardest to keep the tone of my voice low. “I'm trying to make it easier for him to get back together with Blair, to make things with you guys like they used to be. I'm trying to do the right thing here.”“I can see that,” Miles said softly, which surprised me. “But for you to take that choice away from him, that choice is the truth about your relationship and his, especially after seeing the way that both of you are with each other... that's selfish.”“What do you mean, ‘the way that both of you are with each other’?” I asked, somewhat bewildered. My min

Ashley POVBy the time I came back to my senses after that, I was hiding the engagement ring in my pocket, having almost forgotten to come back with the bowl I was originally going to bring. While the rest of the boys were still glued to the projector screen, mesmerized by the thrilling scene that was unfolding, I knew that Jayden was looking at me in his peripheral vision. He then glared at Miles intently, a glare that Miles ignored as he passed out drinks to everyone before Jayden got to his feet and came to meet me in the middle of the living room.I was arranging the glass bowls in my hands as I stepped onto the couch. “I can handle it,” I whispered as I detected Jayden coming closer, my voice slightly strained.“Now it's your turn to stop being such a hero,” he told me sternly, then picked up half of the bowls, piling them on top of his injured arm.“Hey!” I hissed as quietly as I could. “Think about your arm, idiot!”He snorted before turning around and walking over to the coffe

Ashley POVEven Jean had stopped eating at that point, and Tyler stopped chewing frantically shortly thereafter. I bit my lower lip so hard that I lost the taste in it, tormented by the tension of the atmosphere, and I held the cushion half an inch below my eyes, ready to pull it up if anything in the movie jumped out at the audience. Second by second passed as I kept getting closer and closer to Jayden, who by then had crossed his left leg over the other. Taking a deep breath to muster up what was left of my courage, I sneaked a hesitant peek over my shoulder and looked at Jayden.In an instant, his piercing caramel brown eyes shifted from the screen to me.I swallowed nervously, but before I could open my mouth and ask Jayden about the exciting offer he had made earlier, he simply nodded. My eyes widened as he separated his legs, and once again let me into the space between his legs. He grabbed the cushion that was previously discarded during the movie, and placed it again over his

Ashley POVThe next day on the way to the first classroom, Eva abruptly lunged at me outside the main building. Although I had expected it, she still managed to catch me by surprise as she pulled me to the side of the road.“Is it true?” she asked, her voice trembling with anticipation. She was wearing a light midnight blue coat with a hint of red on her lips and nails. “Are they really going out?”“Yes,” I replied simply, trying to release her grip on my wrist, but her grip was strong, and alas, so was she.“Do you have any idea what this means? For them as celebrities? For the industry as a whole?”“Eva,” I scolded sternly as several passersby looked at me curiously. “Our class starts in less than five minutes. Do we really have to do this now?”“Now or later during class, you decide.”“You're a nasty friend.”“Say it for both of us then.”Realizing that she wasn't going to give in, I gave up on getting away from her with a loud groan. Instead, I pulled her further out of earshot an

Ashley POVKnowing that Jared still had office work to do, while I still had college work to do, we decided to go our separate ways after that. As we waited for David to arrive to pick me up, Jared went to the nearest secluded area where he could smoke a cigarette, while I checked my phone to see if there were any notifications.To my astonishment, Jayden had sent me a picture of his bandage-free, pink-colored right arm, with a text.16.45 - Freedom! They told me not to worry too much about the arm, but it was technically healed and functioning again. Time to see if I can get you in a wrestling match again.I gave a small snort in reply, but the smile that appeared on my face was lighter than air.17.58 - I never lost when we were kids. Don't try to trick me. I'm not going to strangle your freshly recovered arm either, you idiot.His reply comes shortly after.18.00 - Come on! Live up to your nickname, Miss Violent! When are you coming home?It seems like he's in a happy mood, but I c

Ashley POVHis perspective reminded me of how Miles would explain things. It felt like he was making a valid point, yet there was one crucial element he was missing. And that was...“My convictions,” I said honestly.Jared’s expression remained unchanged, surprisingly, but I thought I caught a flicker of surprise— or maybe even admiration— in his eyes. Then he blinked, and whatever it was, it disappeared. “I see,” he said. “But I stand by my intentions. One day, I want to love you.”I felt my cheeks heat up. Jared carefully placed a hand atop my head, and as he smiled at me, there was a shyness in his expression that I never would have imagined coloring anything he said or did. The weight of his gaze remained steady, yet it was mingled with such earnest determination that it left me almost incapable of looking away.Oh, how my heart raced wildly when he spoke his next words.“And hopefully, you’ll come to do the same for me.”Before I could react, Jared stepped away, glancing at Sylvi

Ashley POVI frowned at him, but he simply turned his focus back to the row of displays on the shelf. My pout deepened. Even though we had spent over a month getting to know each other, the true nature of his personality as well as his past was still shrouded in mystery. Sure, I see tiny details of his differences, but I don't feel that I've gotten any deeper than just his façade. His default neutral expression and often unreadable demeanor indicated he wasn’t someone easy to approach. Yet, since he had influential and wealthy friends, I knew there had to be more behind his rigid and stoic exterior.I wondered when— or if— I would ever get to see that side of him. With time, perhaps.Maybe.“What about this one?”While my mind wandered, my body followed Jared around the jewelry store. He stood in the center of the store when he caught my attention, his gaze fixed on a set of rings that appeared slightly more special than the others due to their placement in a separate glass cube.“Whi

Ashley POVI rolled my eyes and used my other hand as a barrier to block my vision from seeing something I didn't want to see. “You'll never know,” I stated. “Better to be safe before you regret it.”“I'll go change in the bathroom,” he said with a grunt. “I just wanted you to know about the appointment.”His figure disappeared, and I let out a breath that I didn't realize I was holding. The allure of his scent was too strong for me, for some reason. “Why?” I asked without turning around.“Would you like to come along with me?”I frowned. “I can't,” I said quietly. “I'm going to see Jared that day. He and I... we're getting a ring.”It wasn't my idea, nor was it Jared's idea to do that. The first week in April, my parents returned here for a short break and to meet up with Jared before they were forced to return to London. According to my mom, their business venture there hadn't been entirely successful, and still needed more time before they came to a final agreement. Despite the bit
My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mate Chapter 96
Ashley POVAs time ticked by, March ended and April slowly turned into May, I found myself and Jayden drifting further and further apart. It wasn't a deliberate move by either of us, or at least not a deliberate effort. It just happened.Jayden was spending more time at the dance studio, and he started coming home with a sore throat some days when he decided to hum along to the choreography. He started singing and reading the lyrics whenever he had time in my apartment, and despite me pretending not to notice, I actually did. I loved his voice, pleasant and velvety like that, soothing my mind and body. And he kept showing drastic improvement with each passing week. Also, when he wasn't dancing or singing or memorizing song lyrics, he went and exercised.“I'm getting fat,” he told me as he read comics on the extra bed one night.I was editing an essay at the time, and didn't think much of it until he mentioned it. “I guess not,” I replied bluntly with a shrug.“I've gained almost five

Ashley POVHe didn't speak, but he didn't need to. His silence was enough. However, the stubborn part of me wanted to push him to bring up the topic... more specifically, how he had been affected by his father.“What about you?” I continued cautiously.His eyes narrowed slightly as they scanned my face. “You know about Jayden,” he pointed out.I averted my eyes.“How long have you known?”He didn't sound accusatory, or angry. No, instead, there was something more familiar, something I also felt related to his... childhood.“Too long,” I replied stiffly. I didn't like being reminded of my mistakes, so I replied automatically, defensively with, “You?”“Me too.”And when my eyes locked with his, I saw that it was there. The endless shame, regret, and guilt. It reflected a part deep inside me, so much so that I could hardly bear to look at it.But I forced myself to do so. Because if I hated it, so did Jared. Yet he was brave enough to stick to his stance.Dinner ended shortly after that.
My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mate Chapter 94
Ashley POVLooking at the menu, I already knew what I wanted to order. My mom's favorite dish at The Monarch was pasta with a sauce made from roasted oysters, so I went with that. By the time the waiter returned with our drinks, Jared and I were ready to order. She took the menus from us, and as I watched Jared pour himself a glass of dark red liquid, I decided to strike up a conversation that would hopefully shed some light on our upcoming wedding and Jayden. It took me a few precious minutes to gather my courage and organize my thoughts, but I finally went ahead with it.I started the conversation with a light topic. “How was Europe?”Jared quietly observed the interior design of the restaurant and kept doing so as he answered. “Warm,” he said, “and dirtier than I imagined. But also incredibly beautiful in moments I didn't think possible.”“How so?” I asked.“I often hitchhike with my group of friends,” he told me as he raised the wine glass to his lips. He took a slow sip, his eyes
My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mate Chapter 93
Ashley POVAs Jared and I walked out of the building, I spotted David parked and waiting in the car. But instead of going over to him, Jared stopped at the end of the concrete steps and pulled out a small red cardboard package. It was an automatic action, I could see that, from the way he pulled a lighter from the same pocket and pointed it at the cigarette already tucked between his lips.“Wait,” I chided, ”You can't smoke in here.”He glanced at me. “Why not?” he muttered, stroking his cigarette.Peeking over my shoulder, I glanced at the security guard outside the entrance. “That's illegal,” I said after making sure they weren't watching us.He didn't speak, but his lighter stopped halfway to his lips.“I'm not joking,” I continued. “It's illegal in almost all public places.”“I see.” He hurriedly lowered the lighter and stuffed the cigarette into his shirt pocket. “Where else can I go?”“Er.” I scratched my cheek and looked around for the smoking booth shyly. I didn't find one. “G
