Ashley’s POV
Just then the door of the room opened.
“Holy moly crap!!! My virgin eyes!!” The person screamed.
Xander and I both frosted at the same time. His lips were still on boobs and my hand was in his hair. If it was another situation, I would have found this funny.
Xander quickly got up at the speed of light and covered me with the duvet which I am grateful for.
“Is this how you enter someone's room without knocking?.” Xander scolded the intruder and pulled him out of the room and then closed the door.
It took me a minute to calm myself down. I blushed when I thought about what was happening before we were interrupted. I can’t believe I allowed Xander to touch me like this without any remorse. The thing that shocked me the most is that I would have allowed him to have his way with me if not because we were interrupted. My biggest issue now is how I am going to face him again.
I put in my nightie back and got up from the bed. I quietly opened the door and saw that Xander and the man had their back turned to me. Since my room is across from Xander's, I quickly tipped to my room.
I went to my bathroom to freshen up a bit. My eyes widened when I saw my reflection in the mirror. I kept looking at it just to make sure I was the one.
My hair was scattered and flying in different directions as if I fought with an animal while my lips were swollen.
And as for my neck, it was covered with red marks from the love bits Xander left on my body. I couldn’t help but curse at him. Now because of him, I have to wear thick clothing in this hot weather.
After I took my bath, I wore a turtleneck silk gown and went downstairs for my breakfast. I only found Rose in the kitchen. That’s strange because Mary is always in the kitchen whenever I enter. I once made a joke to her wondering if she sleeps in the kitchen.
“Good morning Rose!”. I greeted her.
“Good morning Ashley!.” Rose smiled at me and went ahead to serve my food.
“Where Is your mom? I hope she is okay? This is the first time I am not meeting her in the kitchen!”. I could not help but ask Rose as she set a plate of chocolate pancakes in front.
“Mom is fine! My Uncle’s wife has just given birth and so mom went to help her take care of the baby for a while!”. Rose explained.
“That’s good! For a minute I thought something was wrong with her!.” I stated before I started to eat my food.
In the midst of eating my breakfast, a man entered the kitchen. He looks as if he is between the age of twenty one and twenty three. But that was not what drew my attention to him. It was the fact that he looks like a carbon copy of Xander, just the younger version. I guess he must be Xander’s younger brother. Only I don't know Xander has a younger brother. Heck I don’t know anything about his family. He never told me about them and I never asked because I was not interested in his life.
“Mister Chase!.” Rose exclaimed and went ahead and hugged him and he gladly returned her hug.
“My flower! You have grown more beautiful than the last time I saw you!.” The man Chase complimented Rose when they let go of each other.
“O Mister Chase! You are back with your cheesy words again!.” Rose said blushing and they went on bickering with each other. It was as if I was invisible to them.
Finally he whispered something to Rose's ear before she smiled and left the room.
“Greetings to you sister in law!.” Chase greeted with a smile on his face. Sister-in-law? He must be Xander’s brother then. I guessed right.
“Morning!.” I said with a tight smile on my face.
“I don’t mean to straddle you! I just wanted to introduce myself to you since Xander refused to do so. Now I understand why!.” Chase smirked.
“And why is that!?.” I asked with a frown on my face. A part of me was already taking offense with his words.
“That’s because you are beyond beautiful and he is afraid that you will leave him for me since I am more younger and handsome than him!.” Chase winked at me, making me laugh. Rose is right, he definitely has his way with his words.
Before I could give him a response, his phone rang and he excused himself and went to answer the call. After a minute, he came back with an apologetic look on his face.
“As much as I plan to spend the day knowing you, I have an emergency I have to attend to. But I will be back before you know it.!” Chase said.
“It’s fine! It's nice to be with you already!.” I wave to him and he leaves the kitchen. When he left, I washed the plate I used to eat before I went back to my room.
I opened my laptop and joined my class online. Since I have just a month to graduate, I decided to finish my class. I don’t want to allow three and a half years of going to school to go to waste just like that.
I am seriously missing my friends. I wonder what they might have thought when I didn’t show up to school in more than a month. Still looking at my laptop and lost in my thoughts, the next thing I heard.
“Boom!!” Someone screamed to not only come out of my thoughts but to fall off the bed because of shock and fright. Luckily enough, the ground is covered with a fur carpet and so I didn’t feel the impact of the fall.
The person has the guts to laugh at my current situation. I sat up and glared at Stacy who is still seated on my bed and laughing.
I stood up move closer to the bed and picked a pillow and threw it at her. The pillow got her directly on the face. Her expression was so funny that I started laughing. Then I saw her picked up the pillow. I immediately shifted making the pillow to miss me.
I stuck my tongue at her and started to run while Stacy followed me with the pillow in her hand. We kept running around the room for a good thirty minutes before we both got tired and sat on the bed.
“That was one hell of an exercise!.” I breathlessly stated with my hand over my chest.
“That’s for skipping today’s training!.” Stacy glare at me. Shoot! The training. I have entirely forgotten about it.
“Sorry I overslept!.” I lied. There is no way I will admit to her that I was in Xander’s room and what happened at that time.
“Lair! I know you were not in your room! When I waited for about ten minutes and you didn’t wake up, I came to your room to drag you but you were not in. So I panicked and wanted to report the issue to Xander but I was stopped by the sound of moaning coming from his room! And since I know that my cousin never brings his whores to his room not even Samantha, i knew that it has to be no other person but his dear wife!.” Stacy explained with a silly smile on her face.
By the time she was done explaining, my hand was already bowed and I was blushing! I wonder how many more people know about last night.
“O Xander!.” Stacy moaned and I stoned her with a pillow.
“Stop! Nothing happened!.” I defended myself.
“Seriously? I was not born yesterday. If nothing happened, explain the moans and why you are wearing a turtleneck this morning?.” Stacy pointed out. I knew from the beginning that it is pointless to argue with her.
“It's not.. it .. Just forget about it please!.” I pleaded with her.
“If you say so! By the way, what are you doing tonight?.” Stacy asked me to divert the topic which I am grateful for.
“Nothing! Why?.” I asked.
“Well I want you to come with me to the club!.” Stacy uttered.
“What? No way!.” I stated.
“Please! Pretty please!.” Stacy pleaded.
“No ! I don't think Xander will be happy about that plus why do you want to go to the club on a Wednesday?.” I pointed out.
“Well my boyfriend cheated on me with my friend and I just want to drink the sorrow away! It’s fine if you don’t want to come along. I won’t force you!.” Stacy sadly said.
No, it's fine! I will come along with you! And I am sorry for your boyfriend and friend’s actions. You deserve better..” I smiled at her.
“It’s fine!” Stacy said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. I know that she is trying to act as if she is not in pain but I know she is.
“So I will come to your room by six so that we can get ready and go okay?.” Stacy asked and I nodded at her. She then left my room and asked why I turned my concentration back to my online class.
****
At exactly six o clock, Stacy came into my room hold two dresses in her hand. She passed the black dress over to me. Luckily enough for me, it has a turtleneck and so I do not have to worry about my hickeys. The dress stopped at my middle thigh and the back of the dress was completely bare. I paired the outfit with a black high heels.
Stacy on the other hand is wearing a dress that is completely ripped at the side. After putting on our outfits, we did our make up and set up for the club.
When we arrived at the club, it was already filled with people and the whole place was packed. We went to the bar. Stacy orders a strong drink while I ask for an energy drink. One of us has to stay awake.
After taking about five shots, Stacy moved to the dance floor to dance leaving to look after our purses.
“What is a pretty girl like you doing sitting alone in the bar?.” A man came and sat at the seat Stacy stood up from. I ignored him completely without saying anything.
“Care for a dance?.” He asked but I didn’t reply back to him. Instead I took my drink and drank from it.
“B*tch!” The man said and stood up and left. Unknown to me, he had drugged my drink.
After sipping my drink for a while, I started to feel very comfortable. I was sweating and feeling faint. I had a feeling that I had been drunk.
I looked at the dance floor but I could not see Stacy. I stood up with my shaky legs and went into the washroom. I locked the door
I entered a stall and locked the door too. I brought out my phone and called Xander. The phone rang but nobody picked it. At this point, I was barely conscious and someone was knocking at the door loudly and threatening to break it down.
I tried calling Xander’s phone again and luckily enough, he picked the call this time around.
“Ashely what’s wrong? Why are you calling me this time of the night?.” Xander asked immediately if he picked the call.
I was already about to faint and so I managed to say into the phone; “ I… drugged! ..club!!” I said before I finally fainted.
