chapter 22

Ashton's POVThe way she held my hands created a current through my hands flowing towards my abdomen. I loved the way she got jealous seeing Julie. My lips curved into smile when she turned back to me. I enjoyed the moment until my phone ringed. She removed my hand with jerk. Who the hell is calling now? I took my phone from pocket and looked at the screen. It was my mom. It could be urgent I immediately picked up the call and started walking towards the car. I can see her shy face. My mom spoke up, "Hello kid. How are you? Do you need any help in preperation?" "I'm fine mom. And don't worry I will tell you if I need anything. Just take care of yourself." I replied."Okay kid. And did you invited your girlfriend? Let's introduce her to our family.""Mom.. Yeah I have invited her, but why are you rushing? Let's not be too fast. She needs some time." I replied. She thinks that Aisha is my girlfriend. I didn't said this. Desmond and Ester told her that Aisha is staying in my house, so she assumed that she is my girlfriend. I tried to deny her but she never listens and said that, "If she isn't your girlfriend, try to make her." So it's not my fault."But child how will you introduce if anyone asks?" She replied after sometime."As Ester's friend." I replied. I took the car keys and went to pick up Aisha near the entrance. Until I ended call. We headed towards mall and bought the essential things. I made our way back home. While having dinner I thought to tell her about what my mom thinks. But she suddenly said up, "I wanted to talk about something." I turned my head facing her, "Go ahead.""I can't join you tomorrow. And the second one is that I will leave your house after the wedding day." She was serious while saying this. I nodded. And accepting her words I asked further, "Is their any issue? Do you need any help?""No.. nothing like that. I just want to find either house or flat as my brother and parents are coming here. They are going to live in LA from now on.""Ohh okay. What's the location?""Near the flower palace. It's too far.."I interrupted her, "Let's go together." I will tell her about mom after few days. I still have 5 days. "You don't need to..""I want to accompany you and also I have to tell you something." I stood up and washed the dishes and without saying anything I went to my room. This behaviour makes her serious and she takes my words as order. But actually I did it because I don't want to leave her alone atleast until she is living with me. Next day I was up earlier than her. So that she shouldn't have left without me. I got fresh and wore a black shirt and blue jeans. I came out for making breakfast. Even I told her to teach me, she still makes the whole food by herself. So today I'm gonna make something good for both of us. I prepared oats and chamomile tea for both. The combination wasn't that good but chamomile tea is the only one which can actually impress her taste. I heard the voice of opening door. I turned around. I saw her coming out she was wearing blue skin tight crop tshirt and black cargo. She saw me preparing breakfast. I smiled at her. She smiled and hesitantly and said, "I forgot something, I will come back in 5 minutes." She went inside closing the door. I smiled to myself. I picked up the cups of tea and kept it on the table. The flower was looking too pretty. She came out of her room. But now she was wearing black and white checked denim jumpsuit. Though it was looking lovely but why did she changed? Earlier she was wearing black cargo and blue top. I looked at my outfit. I got shocked. But finally it tells that she doesn't likes to twin with me. That means she doesn't likes me yet. But why she got jealous yesterday? She is confusing me. She took her seat and smiled at me faintly. "What did you forget?" I asked her."Umm.. I... I forgot my phone inside." She said hesitantly. Why is she hiding from me? I was thinking of impressing her and she can't even twin with me. Yesterday she smiled while twinning and now she didn't liked it. She said making me coming out of thought, "I love chamomile tea. The fragrance of flower is mesmerizing. Isn't it?" I nodded sadly. She remained silent for rest of the time. We went to the location and asked for rooms on rent. It was hard to find out. Finally after asking to near by people we got some ideas. We sat in the car. I drived to place as she said. She asked me, "Are you okay?"I was surprised by her question. "What do you mean?""Umm.. I thought you are angry. Cause you were silent for the whole time." She said."I thought you don't care." I smirked.She said after a minute. "Are you really angry?" I took a glance at her and again looked forward. "Why do you care?""Shouldn't I?""It's your choice."She sighed. "I care about you because you helped in lot of things." She said."But still you don't really know me." I chuckled in sarcasm. She left out a sigh. I stopped the car at a place. She is funny. We went inside the owner's house. The door opened. A young teenage girl came out. "Yes?""Are there any rooms available on rent?" Aisha asked.She called someone from inside. A man in mid fifties came out. He said to follow him. The rooms were on upper floor. We followed him. He opened the door. "You can see the rooms ma'am. I have some work, I will leave." He said. I nodded. We entered inside. The rooms were clean. I was looking at her who is silent in busy in thoughts. She asked me while walking through the rooms. "Why don't I know you?" Her sudden question surprised me again. I answered her, "Cause you think that I have many girls in my life."She got shocked by my answer. "I have already apologized you." She said hurrying. I smiled at her and went inside. There was a mirror hunged on the wall. Maybe it's bedroom. She came behind me. And took a look outside the window from the room. Should I try it now? Yes I should. I felt pretty confident. I called her name, "Aisha." I cleared my throat. She turned back, "Yes?" "Can you see this mirror?""Yeah." She said while stepping towards me. "Is it broken?" She said while looking at the mirror."No." I took a long breathe. "Stay still." "Why?" She said."I want to tell you something.""Go ahead." She said while looking at herself in the mirror.I took a breathe again. "I do have many girls in my life who likes me. But.. the only girl in my life I have admired is the one in the mirror." ____________________________________________
