Wannabe Me

Chapter 60

"Hey baby." Big bro chuckled, when I jumped on him, hugging him tightly.

"I missed you." I said.

"Me too." He said. I snuggled into his chest as he walked to the living room, I guess.

"Damon, my child." I heard Dad say.

"Hey Dad." Damon said. I looked up surprised. I didn't know they were this close.

"How's everything going?" Dad asked patting his back.

"Its going great." He said. I jumped off of him, so he could hug Dad.

"Thanks for taking care of her." Dad said. "All those years back."

"Am I not your son anymore?" Damon asked. Dad chuckled and shook his head.

"You are. I just felt the need to thank you. I'm really grateful." He said. I smiled at him.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Ashton whispered into my ear. I turned to him.

"I'm not. Its just my brother is more important than you." I said, smirking at him before hugging him tight. He's so warm and he smells so good.

I want to tell Lorenzo.

"I missed you." He said, kissing my forehead.

"Me too." I kissed his cheek.

"Two best friends are having an emotional moment." Eliza announced, emphasizing best friends, snapping us out of the moment. I looked up to see everyone watching us. Well, this is awkward.

Thanks Eliza. I shot her a smile.

I may have done something more.

"I'm going to sleep." I said, rubbing my eyes and yawning.

"Goodnight." I said and left.

I got ready for bed, but I couldn't sleep now. Thoughts jammed my mind.

Lorenzo won't approve. He gave me one chance. Now, I'm doing it behind his back.

I shook my head.
A knock was heard on the door. I went to open it only to find Ashton there.

He came inside, took my hand and pulled me to my balcony.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to meet you." He grinned at me. I nodded and shot him a smile.

"You don't regret it, do you?" He asked, after some time. "I see the conflicted look you have sometimes."

"No." I said quickly. "I don't regret it. I'm just ashamed I'm hiding it from Lorenzo and my brothers. He gave me one chance, when I wanted to be with Josh." I gritted my teeth at the end.

"Don't worry. I'll tell them myself." Ashton said, making my eyes go wide with horror.

"You are planning on telling them? No. Don't. I'll do it myself." I said.

"Just trust me." He said, taking my hand in his. I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"I trust you. But I'm afraid." I muttered. He kissed my hand, that was clutched tightly in his, but didn't say anything.

We sat like that for hours.

"Amy!!"

"Daniel?" I asked, shocked. He came forward, moving towards me.

"Are you okay?" He asked, putting both of his hands on my shoulder and spinning me around, checking for any 'scratches' as he likes to call injuries for me.
