49-Cheap Watch
Ashley Walters pov
I sent Sam to get Justin’s order and peeked out to have a look at the man whom I just messaged a few minutes back that I was missing him.
He was sitting there all casual and looked so much out of place. Sarah’s back was facing me so I could not see her face.
Why were they here? This ice cream parlor was not fit for the elites like them.
Just then Justin looked straight into my eyes and nodded at me. I swallowed and tried to respond back with a nod but could not do it. Sam was serving them the ice cream when Justin told him something and took the ice cream cup from his hand.
“He is asking for you,” Sam told me when he came back.
“Go!” Evelyn nudged me, “He must be waiting for you. You might not be his direct employee, but you are living under his roof. Don’t be a bummer!”
“Stop it! I … I am NOT going.” I did not know why he was calling me. I peeked out again and found his eyes pasted at me. I ducked my head back into the room.
“You should go, stupid. It’s not every day that a handsome man asks about you. GOOO!” Evelyn was making her eyes bulge out like big saucers.
“Ok. Stop now.” Elijah intervened, “If she doesn’t want to go then she won’t go!”
“Agree!” Sam shook Eve’s arm, “Now go and ask your crush and his fiancée if he wants anything else except our Ashley.”
Evelyn scrunched her nose, “I wish I could go to him. But I will start shivering. Don’t send me, guys!” “Ok. You, people, don’t worry. I will take care of the Deluca couple. Eve! Go and stand at the counter at least.” Sam gave a slight shove to Eve.
“N…No. I don’t want to go out. Ashley! Why don’t you go out and stand at the counter.”
“Evelyn! Oh God!” Sam rolled his eyes, “I guess, Elijah you need to stand at the counter.” Customers
needed someone so Sam turned to move out and bumped into someone.
Eve gasped loudly when she saw who it was. Pursing her lips, she moved her hair away from her blushed cheeks.
Elijah also had gone quiet.
What had gotten into them? I tilted my head and straightened when I saw Justin standing there.
“I… I am sorry to interfere… I need to go to the bathroom.” Elijah was about to ask Evelyn when he saw her shaking her head.
“I… I will take you. Please follow me.” I found enough courage and turned, without looking at him.
I used the other door to exit where a narrow passage turned a slight left and led us to the small bathroom. All this time, I could feel him following me.
“Here.” I cleared my throat and gestured before me, “I know you are a wealthy fellow, and this bathroom is not according to your standards … Ouch!”
I gasped when he held my elbow and pinned me to the wall outside the bathroom.
“Why didn’t you come to me when I asked for you, kitten?” He was not angry, and his eyes had an intense emotion dancing in those amber depths.
“I… I… was… nervous… I don’t know why?” I looked down and found the watch I gifted him on his wrist.
As always!
He held my chin between his thumb and index finger and lifted my face, “You messaged me that you miss me.”
I nodded smiling, “Yes, I did.”
“I am here to tell you that I miss you too.” My head snapped up in disbelief.
How could he come over here just to….
“We were coming back from the meeting when Sarah realized that she wanted ice cream.” He was brushing his knuckle against my cheek causing those magical tingles.
“Like what?” for some reason I was feeling breathless. His eyes dipped to my lips.
