Intrigued By Him

Chapter 33

Chapter 33

It was yet another boring and bothering day.

Boring because I had nothing much to do and bothering because I couldn't take Ashton off my mind. My mind kept wandering back and forth to him and when I used to scold myself for thinking too much about him, it used to get worse.

Eveleigh's words couldn't pass my mind and I was still thinking about what is going on with Ashton. Why is he acting so weird like a possessive boyfriend as mentioned by Eveleigh?

Finally, I could keep his thoughts at bay and began my University work which had been pending. I finished my work on time, had a VC with my family and it was my time to sleep.

It's Sunday tomorrow and I have my plans for sleeping late. Because of the last night's sleep deprivation, I fell asleep in no time but a loud banging on my door woke up like a thunder and I in spite of going straight ahead and answering the door, I waited for my this stupid hallucination to end but it didn't as a loud knock echoed in my room startling me to the core. I instantly got up and flung my door open to see a very angry looking Ashton standing there.

"What took you so long?" He hissed making me take a step back. I could smell some alcohol from him. Anger combined with his anger is a lethal combination.

"Why are you here so late?" I asked feebly and he marched in my room.

"What the hell you are doing?" He paced and I frowned.

"What I did?"

"You..." He paced and then sat on the bed with a plop.

"What's wrong Ashton? Is there a problem?"

"Yes and you are the problem." He shouted and I shifted uncomfortably.

"Did I do anything wrong? The project? It went good." He sighed in exasperation and got up.

"Why the hell I fucking keep you out my mind?" He asked me and I stared at him.

"W-what?" I stammered and he grabbed me from my arms lurching me forwards.

"It's you...everywhere...everytime...no matter what I do." He shouted.

"Are you drunk Ashton. What are you doing?"

"I wish I could be drunk enough to wipe your thoughts out. Do you even know what everyone is saying? They are saying that I falling for you." He said and my eyes went wide.

Emily and Eveleigh suggested the same thing.

"That's not true...it can't be true..right?" I asked him and he sighed,

"I don't know." He left my arm. "I don't know what is happening. I like annoying you because you are my enemy and I was supposed to be hating you."

"Exactly!"

"But I can't. I can't hate you." He confessed my eyes went wide as he takes a small step closer to me

"Do you feel the same way Kavya?" My name from his mouth sounded so differemt today. Something which made me mind hazy and I was at the loss of words. How can I tell him I was thinking about him all day.

"Umm...It's just..."

"You intrigue me." He confessed and needless to say, I was Intrigued by him too.

"Remember you said I am weird? Maybe my weirdness intrigue you and that's not in a good way." I reasoned ambivalently and he walked closer to me.

"I want to know more about it."
