chapter 45

When he released me I was so desperate to know about where we are heading to. I was about to ask but he started, "You forgot your necklace. And also take this purse." He said while his hand moved in the front of me which had a silver purse. I picked up the purse and came in the room. I picked up my necklace from the night stand. It doesn't suits this style. I think I shouldn't wear this. But I need it to control my nervousness. Should I hide it? My mind was busy in argument until Ashton's figure appeared in the mirror. And he turned me to face him. "I know why are you confused. So I have an idea." He whispered. He took the necklace from my hand and placed in on my left wrist. He rolled it on my wrist. And the result was stunning. The heart pendant was hanging down on my wrist. I never imagined this necklace looks better ony wrist. He then showed me a pearl necklace and ear ring set. It surely matched the style. I smiled at him. He placed the necklace and helped me wear it while turning me around. I wore the ear rings. It completes my look. "Did you liked it?" He asked. "Offcourse."I replied with a smile. "Let's go then." He said and walked out. He pulled up a white jacket from the couch. When we entered the elevator he turned after clicking the floor. He placed a white fur jacket over my shoulder and pecked my forehead."Where are we going? It seems formal event." I said and glanced at his outfit. It's a navy blue tuxedo, perfectly fitting his muscular body. Overall he looked handsome. He had applied gel on his hairs and his cologne smell was more intense."Let me ask you first. I got to know something surprising about you today. And the place we are going now. Which one do you want to know?" He asked while caressing my hairs.I think the first one would be good to know. Something surprising about me? I never knew that."The first one." I said in enthusiasm. "Okay. So I got to know that you sleep talk when you are probably confused or worried about anything." He said as smile on his face slowly changing into a smirk. I widened my eyes and asked, "What do you mean?" He smirked and walked out of the elevator when the door opened. I walked behind him."Hey. Come on tell me. What did I said? Don't be mean." I said while following him to the car. He opened the door for me as I sat inside. He came in walking to other side. "Now tell me. You are making me curious. Please. Did I speak in sleep today?" I kept asking him continuously. He turned to me before starting the car and leaned infront of my face. "Yeah." He paused as I was stiffened over his action. He continued, "If you want to know what you said you need to do me a favour first.""What??? What fav... Favour?" I stuttered.He leaned over me more making me lean on the door. He opened his lips and whispered, "Today wherever we are going. You need to hold my hand for the whole time.""Where are we going?" I asked him.He sighed and said, "It's another question. Just accept it if you want to know." "Okay. I will hold you hand. Now tell what did I said." I asked him in curiousity.He chuckled lightly while turning on the car. And then said, "You said you wanted to eat pineapple, water melon, strawberries, lichies, and even tangerines." He laughed after that. I felt embarrassed. "Why would I say that? I am not going to hold your hand." I said firmly. He sighed and said, "Don't you think it's more important to know where we are heading now? If you are accepting my favour then I will tell you about the place we are going." "I don't care about it. I will get to know when we reach over there." I replied without looking at him."Oh. Really? Aren't you nervous? What if I take you to my parents? Or if something like a public party? And especially now everyone knows about our relationship. That we are dating." He said in a teasing manner. His every word built a spark inside me. Making me realise that I am really dependent on him. Making me more and more nervous."Okay I won't leave your hand." I spoke in a breathe."Neither me." He said making my lips curved upwards."I think you should tell me now." I said trying best not to sound curious."I thought you will know it eventually." He said and laughed."Okay don't... Don't tell me. I will know it by myself." I yelled angrily. "No more wait. We have reached." He said. I peeked out of the window. It was a beach. Are we meeting his parents? I am getting nervous now. What would I say to them? I never talked with his Dad. And just had little talk with his Mom. The car stopped and my nervousness increased. Try not to think about it Aisha. Ashton stepped out of the car and came walking on other side. He opened the door and invited my hand me to hold his hand. I gave him a nervous smile while placing my palm in his and elongated my leg to step out. We started walking inside as I kept looking at him and tightening my grip on his. "Don't worry. We aren't meeting my parents." He said while rubbing my knuckles."Then why are we here?" I asked him.He pointed in the front as I turned my face. A big cruise ship was infront of us. Some groups of people standing with drinks were visible. "It's just a meet up for alumni's of our school." He said. I had a relief after hearing  him. "I was nervous for no reason." I responded. "Yeah. But still don't leave my hand." He said while gripping over my palm strongly. I smiled at him and turned to leave.
