Ash's Darling | ✔

Chapter 7

~Esther~

When we got back to Ash's house I told him I was going to go take a shower and walked upstairs. He had a bathroom connected to his room so I decided to use it instead of one of his parents'. Before I got in I texted my dad and told him I'd be staying at a friend's house tonight. He told me that was fine but to be safe. I told him I would and hopped in the shower. I knew my dad would flip if he knew I was staying at a boy's house but I really didn't want to leave Ash.

Fifteen minutes later I got out of the shower and realized I had no extra clothes. I didn't want to put back on my dirty clothes so I threw on one of Ash's hoodies and a pair of his boxers, hoping he wouldn't mind. Great, now I have to go downstairs and face Ash while wearing his hoodie and boxers. This ought to be fun. I thought to myself.

I walked downstairs and found Ash in the kitchen. He turned around as I walked in. "I was thinking about-" He stopped, seeing what I was wearing. "Holy shit."

"I didn't have any extra clothes so I had to borrow some of yours." I explained. "I'm sorry."

"Darling, I don't mind at all. You just caught me off guard, that's all." He said as he walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me. "You look hot in my clothes." He whispered in my ear. He started kissing my neck as I ran my fingers through his hair. All of a sudden my stomach growled. Ash laughed as I got embarrassed. I really had to ruin the moment, didn't I? 

"Sorry." I apologized.

He kissed my lips and chuckled. "It's alright, darling. I was about to cook anyway, what do you like?"

"Anything except bacon" I told him.

"Who doesn't like bacon? Everyone likes bacon, Mae." He looked at me like I was crazy, making me laugh.

"Everyone except me. Oh yeah and I don't like eggs either."

"Wow, what do you like then?" He asked.

"Almost anything else."

"How about pasta?"

"Sure."

As he started cooking he looked at the clock, it was already 6pm. "Shit, what time do you need to be home, Mae?"

"Don't worry about it, Ash. I told my dad that I'm staying at a friend's house tonight."

He smiled. "My dad is staying at his office tonight. It looks like we have all night to ourselves."

"But first we have to finish that movie." I reminded him.

"Right." He groaned.

"By the way, what did you and your dad talk about earlier?" I questioned as I hopped up on the counter to talk to him while he cooked.

"He wants me to start working at his company so I can take it over one day." Ash told me.

"Oh cool, so when are you going to start?"

"I'm not going to." Wait, what?

"Why not?" I questioned.

"I have the rest of my life to take over his company, right now I want to focus on school and the job I already have." He explained.

"Oh, that makes sense."

After we ate, we finished Princess and the Frog and then went back to Ash's room. I laid on his bed as he took a shower. Twenty minutes later he came out of the bathroom in only a towel, grabbed sweatpants and boxers and walked back in. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He looks hot with wet hair, what can I say?
