Intrigued By Him

Chapter 24

CHAPTER 24

I don't know why I am saying this but working 3 days without Ashton were quite boring...but very creative. I finished my one solo project and I am halfway through my another.

For three days Ashton didn't come and his simple reasons were

I am not in the mood

Or

That's not the only thing in my life

Or

I don't care

Eventually, I gave up on him again and didn't call him after then. Half of me thought it was because of that food thing but then another half of me thought that I did explain to him my reasons. But Ashton is Ashton and he can be mad for nothing.

It was Saturday today and I was working with Eveleigh. It's her first day at work and I was helping her out because even the pronunciation of some of the dishes was hard for her. But I must say she is a fast learner and in no time, she'll learn everything.

Since I had already been so busy for the entire week, I was very tired by the end of the end and since I had no plans of studying tonight, I was waiting to reach my dorms and sleep. My room has become my heaven and I am loving being in my heaven after work. I don't have to wear plenty of clothes now which is an added perk. I had even changed into my night wears, a T-shirt and PJ shorts. I was on my bed trying to sleep while talking to Navya on text messages when my room was knocked. I frowned and checked the time.

9.22 p.m

I wasn't expecting anyone so late so a knock on my door at this time startled me a bit. But I knew I am safe in the dorm so I opened the door and I was greeted by again uninvited and an unwanted guest showed up on my room.

"What are you doing here?" I said and he just sighed.

"Ashton...I am not doing any project tonight." I said and he tried to move past me but I was quick enough to block his way.

"You don't care, right? Wait? Do you? But from when? And if you...I don't...atleast for tonight...I am tired." I ranted and he just stared at me.

"Done?" He asked me and my face contorted. And then I took a closer look of him.

He was drunk.

"Are you drunk?" I asked and he just shrugged and started making his way in my room but I stopped him.

"Seriously Ashton... you are drunk."

"Do I look drunk?" he asked slightly slurring and I nodded.

"I thought drinking would at least make you look a little interesting but I was wrong. You still look disgusting." He commented and I narrowed my eyes.

"Move aside." He said and didn't budge. He moved right and my reflex ran quicker than before and blocked his way from entering my room.

Actually, to be honest, his reflexes were weak from drinking so much mine were usual.

Late.

"This isn't a fun game." He said and while I was blocking my left side of the door, he effortlessly sneaked his way in from the right.

"This place is like a freaking oven..."

"It's making me nauseous." He gagged after opening the window of the room like he owns it and sat on my bed.

"Mind you throw up in my room," I warned him and he chuckled.

Ashton and alcohol was not a good combination and I had personally witnessed that but right now I wanted to crumble those very active Indian genes in my body which believes in the saying Atthiti Devo Bhava meaning the guest are equivalent to God.
