KAIDEN POV
I can't believe Ashly is in my suite and she still feels really home and is pretty sitting on the sofa, chew chips while watching a netflix show with loud volume. She even hits the sofa because of the funny show. I looked at her from the kitchen counter while still holding the dishes being washed.
I just sighed and continued washing the dishes. 'Why did she even become Maeve's friend?' Later, the landline telephone rang. I looked at the living room. I saw Ashly look at the phone. I went out of the kitchen to answer it but she already picked up the phone. My head got even hotter. Now, even telephone calls she interfering. She didn't say hello to the caller who I secretly thanked, she just listened to the other line. She gave me the auditory. The caller was probably not female so she was not interested in the caller.
"Hello?" I said when I reach for the auditory
"Bro, this is me, Quintin. I called you on the cellphone, why did'nt you answer?"
"My phone is on my bedroom. I have'nt heard it because of the TV noise here." I said and gave Ashly a glance but she just ignored me "Why did you call?"
"Oh. Im here to ask you, uhmm. That woman, Ashly? Do you know her?"
"Ahh. That freak? Yeah. She's my girlfriend's besfriend." I saw Ashly look at me. Am I under the illusion when I saw the corner smile on Ashly's lips? Or did she just smile because of the funny show she was watching? She look away to hide her smile.
"Bro? Bro? Are you still there?"
That's when my attention was caught Quintin was speaking on the other line but Im in gaze. "O-oh yes. Im still here. What are you saying earlier?"
"Oh. Im saying, its great. Hmm do you know her Contact number? Hmm maybe do you know where she lives? Where can I see her?"
I was shock with those question one after another "Hey easy bro. The enemy is weak! Haha! Why are you suddenly interesting on this?"
He laugh "Haha! Nothing, I just want to know her better. She's interesting and cool and pretty."
Cool? I suddenly recall something... 'I maybe act like a unladylike, I maybe called bastard, crazy, freak but I don't care cause this is really who am I. I may be do and called lots of things, but Im a true friend. All those who Aggravated and contend with my friends will be aggrieved and I will conted with them as well.' AHHH! IM CRAZYY EHHSHSHSHE! Why did I think of what she said earlier?!
"O-oh sure. I will found out for you." Wait, I alreay know where she lives, just opposites to mine.
"Yeah. Thanks man!"
I was about to say where she lives when he already hung up.
"Kaiden, I'll get for more chips huh?" Ashly said loudly as she stood up and went to the kitchen. I even met Ashly as I was back in the kitchen. She was holding a pack of potato chips. It was already open and she was already eating. She offered me potato chips "Wharn shrome?" She said even though her mouth was still full so I could'nt understand what she's talking. I just shook my head to deny.
I finished all the washing but ashly still wasn't done watching. I went to my room to finish the work I hadn't finished in the office before. Later on I became busy with work and I temporarily forgot about Ashly. Quick The time passed without me even realizing it. When I looked at the wall clock in my room, I found out that it was ten o'clock in the evening. Then I heard the sound of the TV again. I went out to look at Ashly. She was lying on the sofa and had fallen asleep watching TV. I approached and picked up the remote to turn it off.
I stared her sleeping so calm. She sleeping so soundly, while I, could not sleep because of her. I know she's not easy to get along with every day.
'You look good when you sleep.'
ASHLY POV
I opened my eyes when I hear the door to Kaiden's room close. I just acted sleep so he wouldn't let me go. I already have a plan. This way I will search his pad for a sign that he is indeed bringing a woman here. I'll do that later at twelve o'clock when I'm sure he's asleep.
I stopped and looked at the blanket wrapped around me. My eyebrows and a corner of my lip rose automatically. 'Gentleman ✓(check)' Even though I could see his irritations to me, he didn't let me get cold because of the aircon while I was sleeping on his sofa. I want to know a lot about Kaiden. Aside from making sure he can't cheat while Maeve is away, I also want to get to know him well. My first impression om him very badly way back then. I don't know if that can change now. My mind is not narrow. I was willing to gave him a chance to redeem himself. Maybe he has changed and he really loves Maeve. Fortunately, I don't have a gig today. I also adjusted my schedule between for my gigs and for guarding Kaiden. Speaking of gig, I suddenly remember the caller earlier. I just listened to the voice of the caller and I knew immediately who called or maybe I was just delusional instead of the callers voice, his voice I heard. AHHH! Shit!
It was one o'clock in the morning when I got up instead of twelve o'clock, because I overthinked that I didn't realize the time and it was past twelve o'clock. I put one of my ears on the door of Kaiden's room to feel if he was asleep. When I didn't hear any noise inside and I carefully searched his pad to find something suspicious. From the kitchen, bathroom, living room, under the couch, behind the pillows. I even stepped on the floor maybe there is an underground or basement and he had a hidden room and there he hid and took his women everynight. Even though I didn’t see anything, I decided to enter his room. The door was not locked so I was glad. I slowly entered, and I also slowly closed the door back. I first felt if he would wake up.He didn't move. I slowly walked beside him. I was carrying a small flashlight that I got in the living room earlier. I peeked at the contents of the drawers on his study table. I was really careful not to make even the slightest noise. But I saw nothing suspicious in it. I moved to the other side of the bed and looked at the side table but I also saw nothing but only pictures of Maeve and Kaiden together. I smiled, if he was able to display the photos of the two of them already together, maybe Kaiden is serious to Maeve. Kaiden suddenly moved. I quikly lie to the floor and turned off the flashlight. I felt the surroundings again. When I could no longer feel he move I crawled to the door and cautiously exited his room. I also took out his pad after closing the door. I took my key card out of my pocket and opened the door. I went in and went straight to my room to sleep.
KAIDEN POV
"Shit!" I said irritably when I heard the loud noise of Ashly's electric guitar again. Even though she was inside her pad, I could hear the noise of her guitar all the way to my living room. I was working on a blue print and I needed concentration, but in this case you noise, how else can I concentrate? Shit that freak! I heard the sound of his guitar earlier. But it was getting louder and louder. I would have gone out there earlier to confront her but the noise disappear, so I didn't continue to confront her. It's just that he's making noise again with his guitar! I can't do this anymore! I came out of my pad when I saw that the door of his pad was open. She was on the top of the couch and was playing her guitar as if she were at a concert and currently performing.
"Can you please minimize the sound of that?" I said but he didn't seem to hear me. So I repeated what was being said in a louder voice.
She stopped and looked at me.
"Im working here. I can't concentrate."
"Why do you work all the way home? Relax and chill okay? Just chillax."
Suddenly my head heated up as she resumed playing and seemed to be still enjoying it as if I did'nt warned her. I suddenly remembered Quintin. Maybe I need to tell him where Ashly lives. I was about to turn my back on her when she stopped and approached me. "I have an Idea so you can chillax! Watch our gig tomorrow at CasaNova."
I would say I don't have time to watch her gig tomorrow because I don't like rock music. But when an idea entered my mind, I immediately agreed "Okay."
She smiled "Are you really going?"
"Yeah. You're right, I also need to chillax once in a while."
"If you don't really go tomorrow, you'll be dead!"
I secretly smiled.
ASHLY POV
When I got off the stage after performing my number, I immediately went to Kaiden's table. He handed me a glass of beer "I'm so good right?" He just smile.
I was about to take a sip when someone talk "You're always so good." I immediately look the person behind me.
'Bullshit!'
"Hello Ash. Its good to see you"
