103- Tame
Ashley Walters pov 'You are silly, Justin. I don’t know why Sarah had to bring me here. Please take me home." Granny was continuously whining like a toddler and Justin was trying to make her calm like a mommy. It was heartwarming to witness the chemistry.
'Yes, we would granny. Soon!" He said hugging her fragile body to himself. Sarah was standing in the corner with arms folded on her chest. She looked annoyed and tired and very much pregnant.
I didn't see her after that night when I barged into her engagement party.
'That’s what I am telling her." She complained and started making a messy bun of her dark blond hair at the top.
"No! You didn't tell me anything, Sarah!" Granny complained again to Justin, "she said we are only going for a brief visit. For a short checkup." The way that old cow ... I mean Mrs. Deluca was complaining, "And here the visit turned into this annoying hospital admission."
I didn't want to admit but Mrs. Deluca looked kind of cute. Justin kept cooing at her. She was not ready to take any treatments and was creating havoc. That was the reason Sarah had to call Justin urgently.
At least now she was convinced to let the nurse prick her to insert the cannula. They were giving her a drip and injecting a little bit of age- appropriate sleeping drug into it.
Once Mrs. Deluca started feeling drowsy, Justin eyed me and then his gaze traveled to Sarah.
"You should go home, Sarah.” He told her gently.
"Duh. I am not tired. You and Ashley are here after four hours of traveling.
Go and get some nap." Her nostrils flared when she tried to hold a yawn.
"Where is Marwick? Call him Ask him to take you home." Justin said stretching his arms and then threw one around me.
"Marwick is away on business. He might reach tomorrow evening. Or the day after tomorrow. No idea. But mom and dad will be here tomorrow." 'Then I am calling the driver!" Justin started punching his phone when
Sarah again stopped him, "Geez. Justin. I am good! Ok? Take Ashley and get lost.”
"Where is Keith?" "I... I couldn't tell him about granny. He thinks that I am still in the mansion to give her company."
The skin between Justin's brows knitted into several lines, "Keith doesn't know you are here?”
"I didn't get time. Ok? It’s not that I am hiding something... Oh God, Justin. Go out! I am getting angry.” By now Sarah seemed dead tired and on the verge of losing.
"Justin!" Placing my hand on his shoulder, I spoke for the first time, 'Take Sarah with you. I can stay here." "Nah! I can't allow that! How can you..." I didn't let him finish.
"Why can't I, Justin Deluca?" I frowned at him.
"Exactly! Why can't she, by the way?" Sarah placed her hands on her hips and then turned to me, "Are you pregnant too?"
Her bold question not only made me blush but also tongue-tied for a few moments.
"Are you two ganging up on me?" Justin asked and we both nodded our heads in unison.
"Gosh!” he rolled his eyes and gestured for Sarah to go out, "You win. Now go!" "Go? Where? Home?" "Go out. In the corridor. I am coming after you. In a minute!" Justin tried explaining to her.
'Then why not go together, dude? Why are you sending me out?" she asked with a streak of stubbornness in her voice.
I started scratching my ear lobe to hide the smile and Justin was throwing those glares at Sarah. Only if looks could kill.
"Oh,” understanding dawned on her face, "so you want some privacy with your wife! Fine! But please don't take long."
She didn't forget to wink at me before leaving. Justin turned his gaze towards me and held my hands.
"Love. I will be back as quickly as possible.” He said pulling me closer to him.
'You should come back well rested." I tried to shift back his curl falling on his forehead that again plopped back there, "So, go home and sleep.” "I can't leave you here all alone." He pouted.
'This hospital room is no less than a five-star stay. Ok? I am safe and comfortable here." "Kitten..." "Shh." I placed my finger on his lips, "I agreed when you wanted to sleep on that couch. Now it's your turn. Go home. Get your sleep." With a smile, he raised his face to the ceiling and closed his eyes.
'Trust me, Justin. I am good here. I will call you if I need anything." We both were talking in hushed tones.
"I can’t sleep without you, Ashley." With that, without warning, he clutched me to his chest. I almost bumped into him and hissed in nonexistent pain.
My arms wrapped around him, and I leaned my cheek to his chest. I was going to miss this guy.
"I don't want to leave you here." I heard his voice mixed with his heartbeat.
'You should. Sarah must be waiting." He looked down and with one hand started stroking my hair, tucking it behind my ear, "I love you." Ever since we had met, I could never respond to his I love you. Nor he ever forced me to do that. Every time I used to feel remorse in my heart, but I couldn't seem to do much about it.
My heart was still scared. It was still healing. Lifting myself on my toes, I gave a quick peck on his lips.
"Good night." The moment I said it, his lips started tasting mine. His hand came around my nape while the other one was pulling me to his body.
My both hands were grasping his t-shirt tightly and I was crushing my mouth into his.
"Ashley! Love!” I heard Justin’s husky voice against my mouth, "Don’t do that. I won't be able to control." I wanted to tell him that it's ok not to control.
But how to talk to him when his lips had again started grazing my mouth? Holding my ass, he lifted me up and resumed ravishing my lips. In an instant, my legs were wrapped around his waist.
