Heat novel Chapter 36

It's been a few days since Ashley and Jake have been staying at Anna's and to be honest, it was the best decision they have made so far. Ashley got back her best friend, she and Jake got even closer and she was finally introduced to Anna's special friend Tucker, who seemed cool. 

Signs of Jay and Tatiana were still unknown as the police continued to search for them. The police believed that they had fled the country and Ashley desperately wanted it to be true but she still wasn't letting her guard down.

Ever since Roger and her mother left for Hawaii, Ashley hasn't gotten a single call from her mother. But she wasn't worried because she knew her mother was in good hands and she wanted nothing more than to let her mother have fun and be happy. 

Summer was coming to an end which meant that Jake was leaving soon. Ashley was very saddened at the thought of Jake leaving but he would always find a way to distract her from the thought of him leaving. 

Jake hated having to leave Ashley, but maybe this was for the best. Ever since he came into her life, it caused nothing but drama. Maybe if he left for good, her life would be back to normal, this was his thoughts at late hours of the night while he held Ashley in his arms. 

He wondered how his life would be if he hadn't met Ashley.

The sun was currently setting as the gang cuddled up on the couch while watching a movie. Anna didn’t want to feel like a third wheel, so she invited Tucker, who gladly accepted the invite. Everyone took a liking to the movie except for Jake, who seemed bored. He wanted attention, but Ashley was focused on the movie. 

Ashley grew irritated as Jake kept on bothering her while the movie was getting good, “Quit it, Jake,” she complicated as Jake caressed her exposed thigh while pecking behind her ear, “I want attention, give it to me,” he demands as Ashley rolled her eyes, “I’m watching the movie, Jake,” she said as Jake scoffed, “Come on, the movie isn’t that good, pay attention to me,” he whined as the couple opposite them giggled silently at Jake’s childish behavior, “Come on, Jake, please, the movie is almost done, can’t you just wait?” She asked as she tried to shove Jake off as he continued to nibble on her neck, “Hell no, I want you now,” he said as Ashley groaned, “Ok Jake stop because you’re really starting to annoy me,” she said irritatedly as Jake pulled back with an annoyed expression before he got up and left.

“Damn, Ash, that was cold,” Tucker commented as Anna giggled, “Christ, Ash, you could’ve given him a little attention,” Anna said as Ashley huffed while folding her arms, “I was watching the movie, he could’ve waited,” she said as Tucker chuckled and Anna shook her head, “Well, the movie is over now, might as well make it up to him,” she said as Ashley sighed heavily, “Fine, I’ll make it up to him,” she said as Anna smirked while Tucker pulled her into his arms before saying, “Keep the noise down,” he said as Anna chuckled, “Shut up, Tucker,” She said before leaving.
