67- The Damn Fate
Ashley Walters pov
It had been two hours since we sat in the car, but my mind was constantly thinking about the conversation between Helga and Edith.
I was not at all disappointed as the lower staff of most of the places was habitual of gossiping. This was the only activity they could manage during their working hours.
But why Helga thought that fate was after me? I was aware of Sarah’s hatred. It was natural jealousy if she would find her fiancé throwing his attention on someone other than her.
If I would find Justin with some other woman, I would feel envious too. No matter what anyone tells me, but I would be ready to destroy the world.
Justin was not some any other man. He was not an ordinary fellow. He knew how to spoil the girl and I did not know how many girls he had spoiled before me. Or before Sarah.
And then an unexpected jab of jealousy made its way into my heart. What will I do if by any chance Justin shows the same care to a girl in front of me? Giving a damn about me.
What would I do?
I tilted my head to look at the man beside me who was driving the car silently. He would touch my arm every now and then. Would lift my hand and kiss it. Right now, my hand was in his grip placed on the steering wheel.
“Your sadness is making me feel guilty, Ashley.” He remarked without looking towards me, “I never had this idea that you would like this place so much.”
“I am not sad!” I tried to defend myself.
Chuckling, he turned the rearview mirror towards me, “Just look at your face. Don’t worry. We will come here again.” He assured me, “Soon!”
The poor fellow did not have any idea that I was not upset because of leaving the place. Of course, I did not like leaving it so soon. I got the chance to spend time with my husband and didn’t think I will ever be able to forget the intimacy we shared here.
“The place was so serene, Justin. I don’t think anybody would not like it. I fell in love with the place.” I squeezed his hand and looked ahead.
I did not want to complain about Helga or Edith. But the word ‘fate‘ was stuck in my mind like a magnet. Was it fate who pushed me for a snake bite and then a nearly missed accident that was thrown my way?
“Ashley!” I jerked when I heard him calling me, “What’s the matter? If it’s that bad, I am rounding the next corner and taking you back.”
Uh. That was not possible practically. He had a business, and I had a commitment to my friends.
“Is it really the place you are missing, Ashley?” There were doubts in his voice, “Or is it something else.”
I could not help the smile spreading on my lips.
The Deluca guy had guessed it right.
“It’s nothing… It’s just…” I shrugged and looked at him. His only response was to cock up a brow questioningly.
“What?”
I did not want to disturb him during the drive, “Umm. Justin… Do you believe in fate?”
He frowned as if I uttered something unexpected.
“Never believed in fate,” He said looking ahead, “until I met you.” A slow grin crossed his face making my
heart race.
And then an unexpected thought entered my mind.
Damn! Was he planning to keep me with him permanently? If that was the case, why he was not telling
me?
Or was he waiting for the year to get over?
No! That would be too long.
My heart missed a beat, and I turned my head towards the window to hide my teary eyes. What would be the better way to enjoy life if I would get a chance to spend it with that person I have fallen for?
“Hey, kitten. That’s not fair. You need to talk to me otherwise I can fall asleep. After every one or two sentences you go quiet.” Huh. The man was just teasing me. He would do anything to keep me safe. “Uh. You would never fall asleep as long as you know I am in the same car.” I told him boldly.
“Right now, I am driving. Let me reach a safe spot so that I can stop the car. I need to kiss you.” His voice had turned husky by the end of it.
