106-Hot Coffee
Ashley Walters pov
What was exactly going on? As slowly and as calmly as possible, I tip-toed and went to sit in a corner of the room.
IF...
I mean if... By any chance that elderly couple would catch me witnessing the se*xy drama, they might kill me. I put my phone on silent mode first so that I would not get caught if someone tried to call me or message me.
I could still hearthose noises and it served me right. The previous night, I was the one who disturbed granny and now she was doing the same with me.
Ha-ha.
Sitting in the corner of the room, I didn't know when I fell asleep, but after a few hours when it was still dark, I felt someone shaking my shoulder gently.
“Kitten!" Justin was calling me softly and was kissing my neck, "why are you not sleeping on the bed?”
I didn't say anything and held his hand to stand up. Again, very quietly I tried to peek into the room where granny was sleeping peacefully.
Smiling to myself, I went to the bathroom and got fresh. Justin had brought me a chicken cheese and egg cheese sandwiches along with Starbucks coffee. The plan was to make it seem like we both arrived in the morning.
"Sarah’s parents are here," Justin said after taking a chug from his paper cup, "They are here for granny, but it would have been much better if they had stayed back home." He said shaking his head in frustration.
"Why? Are they creating problems for you?"
"No. They can never do that to me. Last year, I ended our partnership with them. Never liked them anyway." He shrugged and took a big bite of the sandwich, ".... Sarah’s father didn’t take it well, but he couldn't do much about it." i
"So, why you don't like them coming here?”
'They haven't accepted Keith as a son-in-law. I don't understand how parents can be so petty about their child’s happiness. Sarah and Marwick are much better than their parents." He said chewing his food, "Keith might not be filthy rich. But he is... like he can give an ideal lifestyle to Sarah. The way he is working day and night, he might take his property business to the next level. But...
Those folks don't even have this much empathy," Justin brought his index finger and thumb very close, "their daughter is pregnant and all they want from her is to get married to me. They don't even care that I am married and can't be involved with anyone else except my kitten.”
I was beaming with happiness when I heard it and bent forward to plant a kiss on his lips. His hand at once brushed through my hair above the nape to grip me to prolong the kiss.
'You taste like coffee," he said against my mouth.
"And you like, egg and cheese," I teased him making him laugh.
"I missed you so much last night, Ashley."
"I missed you too," Talking about last night again brought those explicit images of granny and that man. Mr. Steward little.
Ha-ha.
'What are you thinking?" Justin was looking at me with narrowed eyes.
"Hmm?" I looked up from my food,
'What are you thinking, love?"
"Uh. Nothing." I smiled at him and started drinking my coffee."
'You had that funny look on your face."
Oh, Justin. I wish I could tell you this. You might find this funnier than anything.
"Again! That same funny look," he pinched my nose, 'You are hiding something, love. Did something change overnight?"
Sheet!
Justin Deluca was a genius. I had to be cautious about everything, I guess.
"Now look up. Here!" he pinched my chin and made me look at him, "Last night... I let you stay here. Now be a very good girl and go home."
'What? But..."
"No ifs and buts. You are going home, and I will stay here. I wish I could accompany you but right now I need to stay with her."
"I hope you won't tell granny that I stayed here, overnight," I said wiping my face with the napkin.
"And why would I do that, love? Remember? The basic plan was to make keep you hidden." He reminded me.
'Yeah," I smiled and this time he kept grinning and looking at me.
'What?"
"You are hiding something, kitten and I will make you speak tonight." He said with twinkling eyes and his amber eyes held a promise.
That ran a strange shiver down my spine, and I averted my eyes.
"And how will you do that?" I asked him, chewing my bottom lip. The simple movement made the smile disappear from his face.
'You will come to know about it, tonight!" he waved his index finger in front of my face and pushed the last bite of his sandwich into his mouth.
He was chewing it and looking at me meaningfully.
***
After arriving home, the first thing I did was got rid of the dress that I had been wearing since last night. I couldn't meet granny before leaving the hospital but according to Justin, it was for the best.
Without looking around, I went inside the bathroom and stopped short. The bathroom stand had both man's and woman's toiletries.
