MINE

Chapter - 9

Ashton's POV:

What is this girl doing to me? I can't have enough of her or her kisses. 

Just a slight glimpse of her is making me restless. It's not just about her feminine body that attracted me. There's something special in her which makes me alive when I'm with her. She's not like my past assistants who threw themselves at me for my money. She's different, she's beautiful, she's kind, she's sensitive, she's determined, she has goals in life, and I can say that she doesn't want money. She's a hopeless romantic just like me. I've struggled with myself for the past few months to whether open up about my feelings to her or to just be caged up and let her go. I couldn't just let her go without even trying to get to know her or be with her. I'll give her all my effort and time. She's worth everything even if it leads to heartbreak.

I've had a fair share of my hookups, but none of them matched my dreams about my girl, MY SCAR. But Scar is exactly the one I was waiting for so long. I want her, I want all of her. I want her to be on my bed in mornings when I woke up and want to be with her the whole day. My first thought in the morning and the last thought in the night and in between is all about Scar.

I smiled at her thought.

"Man you are so whipped".

For the first time in my life I agree with you.

"I know big boy, I'm always right, but you are so stupid that you don't agree".

I was so caught up with my thoughts that I didn't see Arianna coming inside my bedroom. Arianna is my younger sister. She's a 24 years successful model.

"What the hell happened to you Ashton?" she shouted walking towards me.

"Ohh man, you are dead. Why is she so angry?"

"Why are you so angry Ari?" I asked genuinely confused.

"You didn't reply to my texts and answer my calls for the past 2 days and now you ask why are you angry?" she shouted again. Arianna and I are very attached to each other. She may be my sister but we share each and every thing.

"Ohh boy, you are seriously dead now. See I already told you but you didn't listen to me".

I walked towards her and hugged her. She instantly hugged me back.

"I was worried about you brother, I thought that something bad happened to you and flied back all the way from Thailand cancelling my photo shoot," she said hugging me tightly.

"I'm sorry little girl. I've been busy with work. I didn't get the chance to call back. Won't you forgive your brother?" I said before releasing her.

"No" she scoffed.

"Why?"

"You have time to make out with a slut in your office but don't have the time to just reply my text huh?" she asked.

What the hell? I didn't ever bring any of my flings to office. Shit! I had not even been with any other girl since I met Scarlett.

"What are you talking about Ari?"

"I rushed to your office as soon as I landed this morning fearing that something bad happened to you. But when I opened your office door your were kissing some slut. I was furious and left" she said crossing her hands over her chest.

"Scarlett is not a slut Arianna Miller," I said pissed.

"Okay, now you are shouting at your sister who is so worried about you about some random slut. Great, just great".

"ENOUGH ARIANNA, MIND YOUR LANGUAGE" I shouted back. I'd never shouted at Arianna before, but I can't stand her calling Scar a slut. She's not a slut.

Arianna is on the verge of breaking into tears. Shit! I hurt her.

I went near her but she inched away from me.

"Ari, please listen to me. I'm sorry little girl. I really am," I said.

She wiped her tears with the back of her hand "I'm sorry too Ashton. I was angry with you. I shouldn't have talked to you like that".

"No little girl, you need not be sorry, I'm the one who should be sorry for shouting at you," I said. I may be rude, arrogant and an asshole but I love my family. Touch them I'll chop off your head.

"So now tell me who's the girl I saw you with?" she asked changing the topic.

"Her name is Scarlett. She's been my assistant for two and half months now" I said avoiding looking at her. Her eyes widened.

"Wow Ashton, your past assistants never ever lasted 2 weeks. But this girl, she's working for you the past two and half months?" she asked amused.

I nodded and smiled "She's excellent Ari. She does her best at her work, she's courageous and she never slutify herself in front of me. She's so kind, honest, innocent and the most funniest part is that she didn't try to flirt with me till now," I said laughing. "She gets excited about small little things, She's very very good at her job. She makes me want to be myself around her. She brings up the goofy and loving side of me". Arianna didn't say anything but kept looking at me amused.

"What?"

"She'd you wrapped around her finger Ashton. I can clearly see that in your eyes when you are talking about her. I'd never seen you this happy after your..."

I interrupted her "Please Ari, this is not the time for remembering the past" I said coldly.

"I didn't mean to say that Ashton. I'm sorry. Tell me one thing?" she asked. I gestured her to go on.

"Do you really like her or just trying to get her to your bed like any other girl?"

"HELL NO!" I said immediately "I like her Ari, I really like her"

She smiled and said "Did you tell her yet?"

"No Ari, I was thinking".

"Okay. So, when are you going to introduce me to Scarlett?" she asked.

"We are going to Paris tomorrow morning for some business meetings. May be, after returning from Paris I could"

"Okay."

Her phone rang loud interrupting the silence as she picked up the call and went to the living room. She returned after a few minutes.

"Ashton, I'd to hurry. I've got a photo shoot tomorrow. Better attend my calls next time" she said pointing her finger towards me.

I laughed, "Okay little girl, just be careful".

"I'm a grown up women my dear overprotective brother," she winked and hugged me before leaving.
