39-She Has Got A Boyfriend

Ashley Walters pov

Missing you, kitten?

Justin!

My heart missed a beat. Looking around I made sure that none of my friends would notice me and went to the back room of the parlor that was only reserved for the employees.

After two rings the call was received, “Seems like you miss me too.” His deep, rumbling chuckle came out of my phone accompanied by throaty laughter.

I clutched my t–shirt with one hand and shut my eyes.

“Ah! Seems like someone is daydreaming too much now a days.” I tried to hold back my giggle, “And why you touched my phone without my permission? That’s a breach of privacy.”

“And why you did not bother to put in a password? Anyone can go through it.” He mused. We were talking in hushed tones. I was doing it due to the presence of my friends. While he might not be having company but still, he was whispering on the phone. Making it look like an intimate convo.

My smile grew and I turned excited, “So, what? I don’t have anything to hide.” I could imagine him sitting in his study with that smile that can cause flutters in the pit of my stomach.

“You do have a husband to hide.” He pointed out and that caused my heart to race. I tried to look around for some water as I suddenly felt thirsty.

There was a dispenser with disposable glasses placed on it.

This was the first time he mentioned himself by the relation we had.

“By the way. I am sorry. I shouldn’t have touched your phone. I just wanted to see by what name you have saved my number.” He went quiet after that.

“And?” I was all butterfly and giggles and and and … crazy!

“And then I found…” He sighed, “I am not even saved in your phone.” Was it sadness I detect?

“Umm. I… actually… Justin…”

“It’s ok, Ashley. Now tell me what you are doing right now. How you got time to call me?”

“I just had a sandwich break.”

“Then I guess you should eat it instead of talking to me.” The same caring Justin!

“I can do both. You know? I am a multitasker.” I smiled chewing my lower lip. I was sure I was looking like

a fool smiling all alone, “However I forgot that you must be busy too. I just could not hold myself and

dialed the number.” I told him honestly and he went quiet on the other side.

“I was not busy. At least not for your call. Work is not as important as you.”

Now it was my turn to become quiet. Was he trying to say what I thought he was trying to say?

“Then who is more important, Justin?” I asked him in a low whisper.

“A girl.” Just two words and then there was a painful pause after that.

No. This could not be true. I was Ashley Walters. A girl from a small town orphanage.

I quickly took a sip from my long forgotten glass of water, “Oh, I know who she is.” I tried to laugh it off. “Ahan! Who she is? Tell me.”

“Sarah!” The small smile on my lips had vanished by now. And I felt that he was also no more smiling.

“Wrong!” His voice was low but intense.

“If it’s not Sarah, then I can’t think of any other woman…”

“Oh, you know that woman.” To my utter astonishment, my heart did summersaults.

“Really? Helga?”

“What?” He laughed loudly and my insides just twisted, “My little kitten. The woman I am talking about is a little crazy. She can become a lioness if she wants. Whenever she wants.” I closed my eyes and tried to push back that familiar stinging behind my eyes.

He did not know it and I would probably never admit it, but he had me wrapped around his finger.
