chapter 24

I rubbed my cheeks and stared at him with curiosity. He told me that he met me on his graduation day from university. I remembered very well, I was bullied but I helped myself out from it. Someone among the crowd tried to stop the bad guy but I made him fall apart. After telling me what happened that day, he took a pause and continued, "I have waited for you from that day. Every day I tried my best to come closer to you. Chris and Priyanka knew this. I never told them that I liked you, but I said them being a good student you are important for me." He said.His voice was deep. I never thought about all this. He said in cold tone, "Let's have pizza." I nodded looking at the floor. I took a slice and started eating it. But I still had so many doubts. He said after having a bite, "I'm sorry. But.. one of your university friend Jamie is my distant relative. She mentioned the name of Sunbeam Fashions before you in your last year. It was me who told her to do so." He looked down. I looked at him doubtfully. "You mean it's you who made me dream about Sunbeam?" I asked him.He nodded back sadly. It's impossible. I smirked and said, "You are wrong." He looked at me shockingly. "I had dreamt about joining Sunbeam Fashions from the day it was established. Jamie mentioned it in my last year but I knew about it from the first year in my university. The news was spread all over the country. Though it was new I was pretty confident that it would be something different than others." I chuckled. "It's too different." He chuckled too and said, "So what do you think about it now?" I stared at him and asked, "About Sunbeam?"He nodded in no and said, "About my confession?" I sighed and covered my face with my hands and then said removing it, "Mr. Ashton Wainwright? Do you really think I want to be known as Gold digger?"He got shocked and said, "What?""Mr. Ashton I re..." He interrupted, "Please. Just call me Ashton. Mr. Ashton feels weird."I left out a sigh. "Okay... I really can't understand all this. You are the CEO and I'm just a normal employee. When all this gets public, the result will be dangerous. Everyone will..."He interrupted again by coming close to me. He kept his finger on my lips. I can see his eyes filled with love for me. His lips rubbed on my cheeks. My body froze and face stiffened. I felt heat in my cheeks. He stared at my cheeks. And suddenly went back to his seat. He ordered, "Do you blush with every person who had confessed you?"The question was shocking. "Obviously no..""Say you don't love me. " He ordered. I turned my face down and closed my eyes, "N..." "See in my eyes." He ordered again.I collected the courage and faced his eyes. It's difficult. Why? I finally closedy eyes and said, "Give me sometime." "Let's dig in." He smirked. I kept eating and ignored him. When I was done I rushed in my room. I didn't came out for whole day. At the time of dinner, we didn't spoke with each other. Finally it was Wedding day.I woke at 5 AM. And until 6 AM I was ready wearing dress. Now it's time for makeup and hairs. I was wearing a light pink full length lacy v line dress choosed by him. And the white wedge heels, he bought for me. His choice is amazing. I weared a thread white long earrings just a inch away from my shoulder. And a multi stranded white necklace. I set my hair open and a little stickers for shine. I applied simple makeup. And took my black  over coat from the shoulder and went out. I got shocked seeing him waiting outside just infront of the door. His cologne scent filled to my nostrils. I took a step back. He opened his eyes wide seeing me. He looked me from my head to my sandles. I felt butterflies in my stomach as his gaze moved through out my body. I asked him, "Is it okay?"He swallowed in and nodded."Let's go then." I said shyly."Can you remove your overcoat for a while?" He  said suddenly. I got uncomfortable. He realised what he just said. "Ummm.. sorry.. I.. I didn't mean it. I just wanted...." Before he said further I looked at floor and stretched my hands to remove the overcoat. His face showed how surprised he was. I can't control myself and the credit goes to his perfect body and perfume. He took a glance at me once again and whispered, "You are looking gorgeous." I blushed and faced him saying, "You too, Ashton." His name is magical. "Let's go. Ester would be waiting for me." I said wearing my overcoat once again. He nodded and started walking. I smiled and followed him. After fifteen minutes of drive we were at venue. I unbuckled my seatbelt and stretched my hand to open the door. I felt something heavy on my other hand. I turned back. Ashton was holding my wrist. I looked at him. "I want to tell you something." He said."Go ahead." I replied."Umm.. You will meet my mother.... So..""Hurry up. We don't want to get late." I shouted."Umm. Okay. My mom thinks that you are my girlfriend." He said firmly looking in my eyes. "What?" I screamed. "But why? I never accepted your confession. Right?"He sighed and said, "She thinks it because we are living in the same house. Please. Please don't tell her the truth. Just act like we are normal. I will tell her not to ask you anything publically. But if she is alone with you, she won't listen me." I took a heavy sigh and replied, "What if I don't want to date you?" I opened the door and slammed it on his face and walked out angrily.It's none of my business. He should have cleared with her. Why does he need to create lies for her? I'm going to ignore him now.
