    (πŸ”Έ Our Five Seconds Kiss!πŸ”Έ)

    STILL REMEMBERING

    🌹 Rachel pov 🌹
    

    The bottle stopped spinning.

    I looked at the bottle.

    The bottle was pointing at me.

    Damn it.

    Sandra looked at me and asked, “Truth or dare?”

    “Umm..,” I thought for a while. Should I choose Truth? These people will surely ask me crazy questions. Should I choose Dare?

    These people will tell me to do stupid dares.

    Both ways, I was trapped. I thought to be a little brave.

    “I choose dare.”

    After hearing me, Sandra was excited. She was giving me a look which made me scared.

    Did I choose the right thing? Or did I land myself into trouble?
    I could totally sense that something terrible was going to happen.

    Sandra opened her mouth to say, “Okay,

    Michael is going to kill me ifI give this dare to Rachael but Michael, you should know that Rachael is big enough to do the dare which I’m going to give her and-”

    Michael interrupted, “Sandra, what’s the dare?”

    Sandra looked at me and said, “Rachael, your dare is to make out with Ashton for one minute.”

    My eyes grew wide with shock. How did she become so brave in front of Michael? How did she even think of such a dare?

    Michael is definitely going to kill her.

    “What?!” Michael exclaimed in shock.

    “Are you crazy?!” He asked Sandra.

    “Michael, chill out. Rachael is sixteen. Kids her age do such dares and it’s not a big deal,” Sandra told my brother.

    “It is a big deal! Rachael is my sister and Ashton is my best friend and to see them making out would be insane!” “Michael, rules are rules.”

    “Sandra, give her another dare.”

    “No, I won’t.”

    Michael and Sandra started arguing about my dare. To be honest, I was somewhat happy because of the dare.

    Sandra gave me the dare to make out with Ashton, which means that she doesn’t like him Ashton, which means that she doesn’t like him in that way otherwise she wouldn’t have told me to make out with Ashton.

    I am really happy that she doesn’t like him.

    That means one less competition. Yeah!

    I was happy for another thing also. Because of the dare, I would get an opportunity to kiss Ashton! It’s my dream to get kissed by him!

    That’s how much I like him!

    But making out with him for one minute in front of my brother, that’s too much. Making out with any guy in front of my brother would be so….weird.

    Sandra and Michael were still arguing. Sandra suddenly said,

    “Let Rachael decide.”

    She looked at me, “Rachael, do you want to do the dare that I gave you or do you want another dare?”

    Everyone’s eyes were on me. I really hate the spot that I’ve been put in.

    After thinking for a few seconds, I decided what I should do.

    “I’ll l go ahead with the dare,” I started saying.

    “But there’s one modification that Ill like to make.”

    Michael was giving me the what-the-fuck look. Such looks can be given only by my brother.

    I rose from the floor and went towards Ashton and sat in front of him. He had the what’s-going-on look on his face. Honestly, I too didn’t have a clue.

    I can’t believe that I’m going ahead with the dare given to me but with a modification.

    I closed my eyes and leaned in to kiss Ashton.

    He tensed up after seeing me lean in. With only a few centimeters distance between our lips, I moved forward and kissed him!

    I can’t believe that I was kissing my crush! I felt that he was somewhat kissing me back!

    But I had to pull myself back because I didn’t wanted our kiss to extend the duration of five seconds.

    Yes, five seconds! In our five seconds kiss, so many things happened! I didn’t wanted the kiss to end but I also didn’t wanted my brother to get pissed seeing me kissing his best friend.

    When the kiss was over, I went back to sit in my position.
    For a few seconds, no one spoke. Mark awkwardly said,

    “Okay..let’s get ahead with the game.”

    Thank God the silence was broken. Mark reaches for the bottle and spins it. We continued to play the game.

    The bottle stopped and pointed at Sandra.

    “Truth or Dare?” asked Mark.

    “Truth,” Sandra answered.

    “Do you have feelings for Michael?” Mark questioned her.
    Silence.

    After a few seconds, Sandra spoke up, “Yes, I have feelings for him.”

    I looked at Michael. He hada poker face. But I could sense a small hint of happiness in his face. He was just trying to hide it.

    He awkwardly coughed. My brother is terrible at expressing his emotions. “Let’s continue the game,” he said and spinned the bottle.

    The bottle, next, pointed to Ashton.

    “Truth or Dare?” asked Sandra.

    “Truth,” replied Ashton.

    “Okay,” Sandra said after thinking for a while.

    “Ashton, if Rachael wasn’t Michael’s sister then would you date her?”

    Why does my name get dragged every time?

    This time, Michael didn’t say anything. Maybe he was too consumed with the fact that Sandra likes him that he didn’t express his

    I looked at Ashton. He was finding it hard to give answer to the question.

    Everyone was looking at him expectantly.

    Including me. Even I wanted to know the answer to Sandra’s question.

    What ifI wasn’t his best friend’s sister? Would he date me? I eagerly wanted to know.

    After thinking about how he’s going to answer the question, Ashton said, “If Rachael wasn’t Michael’s sister then I would definitely date her. I mean, who wouldn’t? She’s beautiful and a very good person. But I’m not that lucky enough to date her because she happens to be my best friend’s sister. But I’m lucky to have her in my life as my friend.” He was smiling in the end.

    Everyone clapped for Ashton. It was evident that whatever he said was a mixture of seriousness and humor but my slowly functioning brain couldn’t figure out which part was serious and which part was funny.

    It wasn’t necessary for him to elaborate his answer but I think that Michael would’ve killed him if Ashton had just said “yes” to the question asked.

    “Okay, let’s continue.” This time I was the one to speak as I spinned the bottle.


    After we finished playing a few rounds of the game, we started to dance. Well, everyone was dancing except me.

    That’s because I didn’t know how to dance. I didn’t wanted to embarrass myself because of my “dancing.”

    So, I was standing in a corner and watching the people dance.

    After feW minutes, Sandra came to me and said, “I need to talk to you. Come with me.”

    She went inside a room and I followed her.

    When I was inside the room, I realized that the room belonged to Ashton.

    Sandra locked the door from within and turned to face me.

    “What do you need to talk to me?” I asked her.

    “It’s about Ashton,” she told me.

    Ashton? “What about him?” I asked.

    “I want to ask you some questions concerning
    Ashton,” she said.

    (πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨ He Is My Brother Best Friend ❣️)

    (πŸ”Έ I Can’t Just Sleep On Someone’s Chest!πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel pov 🌹

    I told Ashton, “There’s one thing we can do.”

    “What?” asked Ashton.

    I said to him, “We can sleep together.”

    “WHAT!?!?” he exclaimed in shock.

    I wondered that why he was shocked. Then, I realized what I had just said.

    “No, no, no, no, no, no, no!” I started defending myself.

    “I didn’t mean it in that way.” After hearing me, Ashton seemed to relax.

    I slowly said to him, “What I meant to say was that we can share our blankets.”

    Ashton looked at me as ifI had grown ten heads. Okay, that was too much of exaggeration. He shook his head.

    “That would be so inappropriate.”

    “Ashton, we’ll just be sharing blankets. There’s nothing wrong in that,” I told him. I exited his room and went to my room to get all the blankets.

    After getting all the blankets, I exited the room and went to Ashton’s room. I put all the blankets on the bed. I, then, lay on the double-sized bed beside Ashton.

    He watched me, speechless. I was lying on the far left side of the bed and he was lying on the far right side. so there was lot of space between us. So that there would be no possible body contact.

    I put all the blankets over us and turned my face away from Ashton. He switched off the lights. When the lights were off, I heard Ashton move under the blankets. I tried to turn around quietly as possible but I knew that I was making lot of noise.

    When I finally turned around, I saw that Ashton’s back was towards me. I really wanted to touch him! Okay, I really need to control myself. Sleeping on the same bed with him doesn’t mean that I can touch him. He would totally freak out!

    So I decided to close my eyes and sleep.


    Next morning…

    ❀️‍πŸ”₯ Ashton’s ❀️‍πŸ”₯

    I felt as if something was on my chest. I opened my eyes and realized that Rachael’s head was on my chest. She had wrapped her arms around me and I too had wrapped my arms around her. Her leg was Wrapped around my waist.
    How did we manage to be in such a position?

    As far as I can remember, there was so much space between us last night, then how did we come this close to each other?

    Rachael was sleeping peacefully in my arms, breathing steadily. I moved her hair from her face. And now I was staring at her beautiful face.

    God, she’s so beautiful!

    Even if her hair looked like a mess, she still looked beautiful. She looked like an angel.

    My angel.

    She was in my arms and I was feeling a need to protect her, to keep her safe from all the dangers of the world. As I looked at her peaceful face, I felt guilty. Guilty of keeping secrets from her.

    If she comes to know what “job” I do, then she would probably hate me for keeping such a secret from her. And I don’t want her to hate me.

    Because I like her. I really, really, REALLY like her! I can’t even think about living my life without her.

    Last night, when we slept together on the same bed, I was so happy! I felt as ifI was on cloud nine!

    But even if we slept on the same bed, I didn’t get an opportunity to touch her! Actually, I had lots of opportunities to touch her, but I didn’t want to take advantage of the situation.

    And when we are talking about “touching”, I mean in a good way, not like violating her.

    I just wanted to hold her hand throughout the night!

    But I’m really happy that she is peacefully sleeping in my arms. It feels good.

    I started to stroke her arm. I heard her moan.
    I guess she liked it.

    When I was touching her arm, I felt tingles and sparks. And it felt so damn good! I wish I could hold Rachael like this forever.

    But it wasn’t possible.

    The angel in my arms slowly opened her eyes.


    🌹 Rachael’s pov 🌹

    I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing that I saw was a chest. A well toned chest.

    Whose chest it was? I didn’t care. It was doing a very good job of the pillow as my head was lying comfortably on whose ever chest it was.

    I closed my eyes to return back to sleep.

    Wait a minute!

    I can’t just sleep on someone’s chest!

    I felt the chest vibrating. I opened my eyes and looked up at the person on whose chest I had my head on.

    And that person was Ashton.

    The memory of last night was coming back to me. I remembered sleeping with Ashton on the same bed and my desire to touch him! My cheeks started to turn red!

    As I looked back at my crush, I saw that he had an amused expression on his face. He must be feeling like laughing after seeing the bird’s nest on my head. I tried to comb my hair by using my fingers.

    As I was combing my hair, my gaze fell on Ashton’s waist. I saw a leg wrapped around his waist. And that leg belonged to me.

    My cheeks turned redder. I removed my leg from his waist.
    How did my leg end up there?

    I tried to get up but in the process, I hit Ashton’s jaw with my head.

    “Owww!” we both exclaimed in pain.

    He was rubbing his jaw while I was rubbing my head. After a few seconds, Ashton started rubbing my head too.

    “Are you okay?” he asked while he continued to rub my head.
    “Yeah, I’m okay.” I told him.

    “Are you okay?”

    He smiled at me and said, “Yeah.”

    We continued to sit on the bed with silence.

    Why were we silent?

    I tried to break the silence by saying, “Good morning?”

    To start a day, what’s better than to say “Good morning” but in our case, how can I call the morning good when my head hit Ashton’s jaw?

    Ashton laughed. “Good morning” he said.

    “Did you sleep well?”

    Very well.

    “Yes. What about you?”

    “Me too,” he replied.

    “Okay then, I should get going to my room,” I told him.
    He nodded and I exited his room.

    Ill always remember this day because of all embarrassing things and also because of all wonderful things.


    Two years ago.

    Today is Ashton’s birthday! He turned nineteen! Im really excited for the party!

    Well, it’s kind of a get-together. There won’t be a lot of people, only close friends of Ashton.

    I was having a hard time deciding what to wear. I know that it isn’t my birthday, but I wanted to look good in front of my crush.

    After arguing with myself on what to wear, I decided to go for denim jeans and a Batman shirt. Ashton loves Batman and so do I.

    Batman is my favorite hero!

    After getting ready and applying a little make-up, Michael and I set off towards Ashton’s house.


    We reached Ashton’s house. I can see only a few cars parked near his house which means only few people will be present to celebrate his birthday.

    Every year, it’s the same scene. Only the same people come to celebrate his birthday. Why is that so?

    He’s handsome and intelligent. He’s the whole package! Then why do only few people come to celebrate his birthday? It always seems like a private affair.

    Michael knocks on the door and Ashton himself answers.

    Michael hugs him and says, “Happy Birthday, man.”

    “Thank you, man.”

    When they are finished hugging each other,

    Michael enters the house. I move forward towards Ashton and say, “Happy birthday.” “Thank you,” he says with a smile.

    I enter his house. His house is neat as usual with a few decorations here and there. His friends are in the sitting room along withMichael, talking.

    Ashton and Michael have same friends so when it’s Michael’s birthday, we invite the same people that Ashton has invited.

    When I enter the sitting room, the people there greet me. I too greet them. There is music playing in the background.

    The people are drinking something in their red cups.
    Maybe beer?

    I don’t get a red cup because I’m sixteen, not legal enough to drink. And did I mention that I’m the youngest among the group present here?

    All the people are around eighteen-nineteen.

    And I’m the kid here.

    One of Ashton’s friends asks me about my life.

    I tell him that I’m enjoying my life. But the truth is my life sucks. My life is really boring.

    I wish interesting things could happen in my life. The only thing interesting in my life is Ashton.

    I am really grateful of Michael to befriend such a great guy like Ashton.

    I continued to talk to Ashton’s friend. His name is Mark. He’s hot but his hotness cannot be compared to Ashton’s.

    I was talking to Mark but my eyes were on Ashton, who was talking to Sandra.

    Sandra is one of the closest friends of both Ashton and Michael. They three are like Harry, Ron and Hermione from the

    Harry Potter Series. They have a very great friendship. I just have to figure out who’s Harry and who’s Ron among Ashton and Michael.

    Ashton and Sandra are very close friends. I don’t know how much close.

    Whenever I see them talking to each other, I feel jealous. I shouldn’t be jealous because Ashton is not my boyfriend but he’s my crush!

    And I can’t help the fact that I become jealous!

    It comes naturally whenever I see any girl with Ashton!
    Right now, Im feeling jealous seeing them talk and laugh. I just want Sandra to vanish into thin air!

    But I’m not that lucky enough that God will listen to me.

    “Let’s play truth or dare,” suggested one of Ashton’s friends.

    “Yeah,” everyone agreed.

    What?! Why does everyone love that game? I dread that game.

    On every get-together like this, we play “Truth or Dare.” I know how crazy the minds of people can go while playing this game. I have a list of all the crazy questions that these people ask and a list of all the stupid dares that these people are ready to do.

    In short, this game is scary!

    But every time, I’m lucky. Whenever it’s my turn, people ask mne decent questions or tell me to do decent dares. That’s because I’m the youngest among them. They go easy on me. And I’m really grateful to God for that!

    Otherwise, I cannot imagine playing this game with these crazy people!

    All the people sat on the floor in a circle.

    There were seven people in total. Mark was sitting beside me. Ashton was sitting across me. Sandra and Michael were sitting alongside him.

    “Before we start the game, I would like to introduce you all to some of the rules of the game,” Sandra started saying.

    “When the bottle points to a person after spinning, he or she will have to choose truth or dare. And that person cannot back out after listening to the question or the dare. He or she will have to answer the question or do the dare.

    Questions or the dares can be suggested by any person.” “And if the person chooses truth, next time he or she will have to choose dare. That means, that person will have to choose truth and dare alternatively. So, these are the rules of the game. Let’s enjoy!”

    When Sandra finished telling the rules, she put a bottle in the centre of the circle and spins it. Everyone was watching the bottle spinning and after a few seconds the bottle was coming to a stop. Everyone was watching in excitement while I was watching in fear.

    Please, don’t let it be me! Please, don’t let it be me! I chanted this mantra in my head.

    The bottle stopped spinning.

    I looked at the bottle.

    The bottle was pointing at me.

    Damn it.

    Sandra looked at me and asked,

    “Truth or dare?”

    (πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨ He Is My Brother Best Friend ❣️)

    (πŸ”Έ He Looks So Damn Good Without Clothes!! πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel pov 🌹

    When Ashton had exited the kitchen, I went to my room. I straightaway went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My cheeks were red in color! I hadn’t noticed that my cheeks had turned red! Maybe I was too busy staring at Ashton’s semi-naked self?

    HE LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD WITHOUT CLOTHES!!!

    I was trying to calm down my heart since it had started beating in a fast pace. I took deep breaths. In, out. In, out.
    After a minute, my heart was beating at a normal pace. I decided to take a shower.

    When I was in the shower, I had closed my eyes just for a few seconds, to enjoy the shower but my brain was busy displaying towel-clad images of Ashton in my mind!
    I put my hands on my head and said, “Stop, brain, stop.” I opened my eyes. My hormones are still working even when I’m trying to have a peaceful shower! I sighed.

    I got out from the shower and dried myself with a towel. I wore my clothes and exited the bathroom. My hair was dripping wet so I took the blow-dryer, sat on my bed and started to blow-dry my hair. After blow-drying my hair,
    I put the blow-dryer in the drawers.

    When I got up from my bed, I decided to go to Ashton’s room, to ask him whether I can prepare today’s breakfast or not. He makes meals for us everyday so I also wanted to contribute something.

    I went to his room. His bedroom door was closed. I was about to knock on the door but just then I heard Ashton talking to someone. I put my ear on the door to hear more clearly.I know I shouldn’t be snooping around but my curiosity was getting to me! From the last few days, Ashton has been getting calls and he used to attend all his calls in his room.

    Why couldn’t he attend his calls in my presence? I wanted to know. And I also wanted to know that who was calling him.
    I heard Ashton saying, “How’s your work going?…Don’t worry. You’ll be able to do it.Can’t wait to have you here, bro…She is good…Yeah, she asked about what work you do..”

    Now, I know who has been making calls to Ashton. It was my brother, Michael.

    I continued to listen to Ashton, “…No, I didn’t tell her anything…But you should’ve told her…Even I don’t want her to be in danger but she’s curious about what work you do and her curiosity may get her in danger…”

    My curiosity may get me in danger? How?

    And what work does Michael do that may get me in danger?

    “.Promise me that you’ll tell her everything when you return..Okay, take care, bye..,” As soon as Ashton ended the call, I ran away to the sitting room, quickly sat on the sofa and pretended to be sitting idle by looking at the TV’s blank screen.

    Ashton emerged from his bedroom. He entered the sitting room and sat beside me.

    “Tm sorry for our previous encounter,”
    Ashton said to me, referring to our earlier encounter in the kitchen.

    Don’t be sorry, Because of that encounter I was able to see you shirtless. And I would love to see you shirtless on a regular basis!

    Gosh! My hormones were working again! I need to work on controlling my hormones.

    “Don’t be sorry,”I told him.

    He just nodded. “So, what would you like to have today for breakfast?” he asked with a smile.

    “Anything delicious,” I told him and we both laughed.

    “Coming right up,” he said in a cheerful tone and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

    I would’ve helped him but after listening to Ashton when he was having a conversation with my brother, my mind was occupied with things and I needed time to think and process
    all those things.


    While eating breakfast, I asked Ashton, “What work do you do?” “I do the same work that Michael does,” he answered.

    “That means that you toO Won’t tell me what work or job you do?” I asked.

    Ashton looked at me. “Rachael, trust me. I want to tell you everything but your brother isn’t letting me. If you come to know what work I do then you will come to know what work Michael does and he doesn’t want you to know,” he told me honestly.

    “I know that but what’s harm in telling me what you guys do?” I questioned him. “Ashton, you can tell me what work Michael does and I swear that I won’t let Michael know.”

    “Rachael, I’ve promised your brother and ifI break my promise then I would feel that I’m betraying him. Please be patient and you will come to know everything at the right time,” Ashton said.

    I knew he would say something like this.

    But the point is : Why are things being kept from me?


    It was night. I was lying on my bed. The lights were off but my eyes were opened. My mind was going through all the events that happened today. My mind was happy on the memory when Ashton was only wearing a towel around his waist. That memory brought a smile on my face. And then, a slideshow started in my head, which was showing images of a towel-clad Ashton from different angles.

    Lord, I’m going crazy! No, wait. I’m already crazy For Ashton.

    I started blushing at this thought. If I continued to blush at this rate then I won’t need to put blush on my cheeks!

    After a few minutes, I calmed myself. I, then, started thinking about Ashton’s conversation, which he had in his room.
    Why doesn’t Michael want to tell me what work he does? What job do Michael and Ashton do? Ashton told me that he does the same job that Michael does but then, if it’s true, then what is Ashton doing here with me? He should’ve also gone out of town with Michael for “work.”

    I’m getting confused. So, I closed my eyes, put my brain in the stand-by mode, that is, making my brain ready to dream about Ashton, and then went to sleep.


    In the middle of the night, I was feeling terribly cold. I started becoming restless.

    I kept moving myself, searching for some warmth under the blankets but all I could feel was coldness. The blankets were not enough to keep me warm so I opened my eyes, because
    I wasn’t able to sleep, and put my feet on the floor.

    The floor was freezing!

    Irose from the bed and started rubbing my arms, trying to make myself warm. When I touched my arms, I realized that I was cold as ice. You could’ve easily mistaken me fora vampire because of my really cold skin!

    When rubbing my arms didn’t help me get warm, I started walking in my room. When it didn’t help me, I started jumping, trying to produce heat from within my body. It was somewhat working.

    Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I stopped jumping.
    “Rachael, are you awake?” I heard Ashton asking me from the other side of the door.

    “Yeah,” I told him. I was heavily panting due to excess jumping.

    Ashton opened the door and came in my room. He switched on the lights. It felt as if the sun was shining in the room! It was that bright!

    My eyes adjusted to the bright light.

    “Were you jumping?” Ashton asked next. He was wearing an undershirt with pajamas. I Would’ve stared at him but I wasn’t in that state because I was feeling very cold! “Was I jumping that loud?” I asked. My jumping had woke up my crush.

    “Yeah,” he said with a smile.

    “But why were you jumping?”

    I replied, “I was feeling cold so I started jumping, in hope of producing heat from within my body.”

    “Let me check,” he said and came to me.

    He touched my hand. “You’re freezing!” he exclaimed in shock.

    I just nodded.

    “Well, I don’t have any more blankets other than mine,” he mumbled to himself.

    “Ill bring you my blankets,” he suddenly said and was about to exit my room but I stopped him.

    “Then what about you?” I asked.

    He smiled at me and said, “Don’t worry about me. I won’t feel that cold.” And he exited my room to lend me his blankets.

    After a few minutes, he entered my room with two blankets. He told me to lie on bed. I did as I was told. He, then, wrapped my blankets over me and then he wrapped his blankets over my blankets.

    I could feel my body becoming warm. All thanks to the blankets! And to Ashton too!

    When I was settled, Ashton said, “Goodnight.” I said, “Sleep tight. Don’t let the big bugs bite.” And we both laughed.

    When we finished laughing, Ashton switched off the lights and I heard him whisper, “Sweet dreams, Rachael.”


    After a few minutes of sleeping, my concern for Ashton woke me up. I sat on my bed.

    Ashton was sleeping in his room without any blankets! He must be feeling cold! I decided to check up on him, after all, he’s my crush and it’s in mny nature to care about him.

    I rose from the bed, wrapped two blankets around myself and headed to Ashton’s room.

    I opened his bedroom door as quietly as possible. I entered his room. It wasn’t that dark in here. The moonlight coming from the window was on Ashton and because of that,
    I was able to see him. And I could clearly see him shivering.
    I went near him and whispered, “Ashton, you’re feeling cold.”
    He slowly opened his eyes and upon seeing me, he asked,

    “Rachael, what are you doing here?” He sat on his bed and switched on the lights. He rubbed his eyes. I saw that he was wearing a shirt.

    I sat beside him on the bed. “I came to check up on you.”
    He looked at me and smiled.

    “Ashton, you were shivering,” I told him. I, then, touched his hand. “You’re cold!” “I know I’m cold but I can’t help it,” he said.

    “I’m feeling guilty. I was sleeping with four blankets and you were sleeping with none!

    Let me get your blankets,”I told him and rose from the bed to get him his blankets but he stopped me.

    “No, you don’t need to. Rachael, you need those blankets otherwise you won’t be able to sleep,” Ashton explained.

    “Even ifI have all the blankets, I won’t be able to sleep because I’ll be worrying about you, who will be sleeping without any blankets on this cold night,” I told him.

    “There’s nothing we can do about it,” he told

    I opened my mouth to say but there was one problem: I didn’t have anything thing to say. I closed my mouth.

    There was silence in the room for a few minutes. Suddenly, an idea struck me!

    After all, there was a way.

    I told Ashton, “There’s one thing we can do.”

    “What?” asked Ashton.

    I said to him, “We can sleep together.”

    (πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨ He Is My Brother Best Friend ❣️)

    (πŸ”Έ What A Fine Ass πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel POV 🌹
    

    It was around 10pm. I was sitting on my bed with a red rose.

    You must be wondering why?

    Here’s why.

    I held the rose firmly. I plucked one of its petals and said happily, “He’s single.”

    Then I plucked another petal and said sadly, “He’s single not.” I was doing one of those “he loves me, he loves me not” thing.

    So, that was my demonstration of the word “stupidity”
    But I really want to know whether Ashton is single or not. And I guess this is the only way to find out. This kept going on until half of the petals were on the floor.

    Suddenly, there was a knock on my bedroom door. I hide the rose behind me.

    “Yeah,” I said.

    The door was opened by Ashton. He had worn a white undershirt and black pajamas. How can a person look so damn good?

    He had worn a sleeveless undershirt so I was able to see his biceps very clearly. His bicep was bigger than my fist! I was also able to see the outline of his abs! But I couldn’t figure out whether it was six-pack abs or eight-pack abs. I’ve always wondered whether he has sΔ°x-pack or eight-pack.

    “I saw that your bedroom light was on so I came by. Why aren’t you sleeping?” he asked.

    “I wasn’t able to sleep,” I told him. The whole day I kept thinking whether he was single or not. You know that I don’t have the guts to ask him about his relationship status. I was thinking about it just now.

    And I was also trying to determine whether he’s single or not by plucking the petals of a flower.

    Sometimes, I can be lame.

    He smiled at me. “Why are you plucking rose petals in the middle of the night?” he asked.

    How did he know? “How do you know?”I asked him. Can he read minds? I hope not.

    “I can see the rose petals on the floor,” he replied.

    “Oh,”I said. I didn’t have anything else to say.

    Then we were quiet.

    “Do you like someone?” Ashton asked me out of the blue.
    I wasn’t prepared to answer this question so I just asked him,

    “Why are you asking?”

    “Just like that,” he said.

    “I thought that you were doing that “he loves me, he loves me not” thing so I thought that you must be liking

    Someone.” “I don’t like anyone,” I said too quickly.

    Ashton just nodded his head. He still had a smile on his face. “Rachael, you should know one thing. You don’t know how to lie. And if you don’t want to tell me then its okay. If you fear that Ill tell Michael everything that you tell me then you are wrong. I won’t tell him anything without your consent.”

    I took in all the words that he said. I know that I can trust him.

    “Now you should sleep,” he told me while he closed the door.
    I lay on my bed and tried to sleep.


    I slowly opened my eyes. I had a very good night sleep! Last night, Ashton came in my dream, only wearing an undershirt and pajamas.

    He was looking so HOT! His biceps were looking so BIG! HE LOOKED SO SEXY!!!

    He looks sexy, even in my dreams! Thinking about him makes my heart beat faster. I put my hand on my chest, trying to calm down my heart.

    When my heart returned to its normal pace, I got up from my bed and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror. My hair was looking like a bird’s nest, as usual. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and combed my hair. I, then, went to my room and took out my phone from under the pillow. I looked at the time. It was 9am.

    I decided that Ill take a bath later. I opened my bedroom door and exited the room. I went in the kitchen to get water.

    After drinking water, I was about to exit the kitchen but just then, I came across Ashton.

    And he was just wearing a towel around his waist.

    Firstly, I looked at his handsome face, which was dripping wet. Then, my gaze fell below his face, at his chest, which was also dripping wet. It seemed that he had just come out of the shower.

    This is the first time that I’m seeing Ashton, semi-naked. I’m loving the sight but I am having great difficulty in hiding my excitement of seeing him partially naked! “Oh! I’m sorry!”

    Ashton exclaimed in alarm after seeing me in the kitchen. “I didn’t know you were up! So…” he started babbling.

    I was trying to listen to him but his strong looking chest and eight-pack abs were distracting me.

    Yes, you’ve read it right! I was talking about his EIGHT-PACK ABS! The guy has EIGHT-PACK ABS!

    I never thought that my crush can be so fit.

    Okay, I had an idea about his fitness. His tight t-shirts showed his muscles and defined his body. By looking at the Greek god standing in front of me, my jaw would’ve hit the floor but luckily it didn’t.

    Otherwise, it would’ve added to my embarrassment. I checked for my jaw and it was still attached to my mouth and had not hit the floor, for which I was grateful.

    The next thing that I did was to pinch myself.

    Maybe I was dreaming all this? Maybe my hormones were sending shirtless images of Ashton to my brain?

    After pinching myself, I realized that I wasn’t dreaming. This was the reality. Ashton was standing in front of me in reality!
    I looked at him. He was still babbling.

    “I think Ive spoken a lot. I should probably go to my room and change,” he said as he exited the kitchen.

    I looked at his broad shoulders and his well-defined back. Then my gaze fell below, at his towel covered ass and I thought to myself.

    What a fine ass!

    Gosh, my hormones were getting the best of me!

    (πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨ He Is My Brother Best Friend ❣️)

    (πŸ”Έ Hey Hey, You You! I Don’t Like Your Girlfriend!πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel pov 🌹

    How can I do such thing?! I can’t believe that I just told my crush to leave me alone!

    Stupid me! And how can I even talk to him like that?! I want him to like me, not to hate me. I never thought that I would have an argument with my crush!

    For half-an-hour, I kept cursing myself for my behavior towards Ashton.

    I decided that it’s time to make peace. But how?

    I didn’t have the courage to approach Ashton and say sorry.

    I’m a coward.

    After a few minutes, an idea struck me. I exited the room. I peeked in the sitting room where Ashton was watching television. Well, it seemed as if he was watching TV but I could tell that he was thinking about the argument that we had earlier.

    I quietly went to the kitchen. I searched for the utensils which were required to make noodles. Yes, I’m going to make noodles and give it to Ashton as a way of saying sorry to him.

    I know it’s not the brightest ideas of all but I can’t think of anything else. And I make delicious noodles, just so you know.


    It was 8am now. The noodles were ready.I had served the noodles on two plates. I don’t want to be boastful about myself but the noodles looked so good and it smelt delicious.

    I hope it tastes delicious too, since Ashton is a wonderful cook and I hope I can impress him with my cooking.

    I took the plates and went in the sitting room.

    I placed the plates in front of Ashton.

    Ashton looked at me and then at the noodles.

    He told me without looking at me. “You didn’t really had to…” He meant to say that it wasn’t really necessary for me to prepare the noodles.

    “Trust me, I really wanted to,” I said to him.

    He was still refusing to look at me. Was I that rude to him?
    He was looking at the noodles and so was I.

    While looking at the noodles, I said, “Sorry.” It seemed as if I was apologizing to the noodles because I was looking at it. I didn’t have the courage to look at Ashton so I continued to look at the noodles.

    I continued, “Ashton, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude to you.”

    “Rachael, don’t apologize. You weren’t rude to me,” Ashton said.

    I looked at him. He was looking back at me.

    “Why are you so good?” I asked him and buried my head in my hands. He’s really a good person and that’s the major reason why I like him.

    “I’m not really that good,” he said. By his voice, I could tell that he was smiling.

    I looked at him. He was smiling. His smile made me smile too. The smile on his face made him look like an angel.

    He is my angel.

    I wish I could be his angel too.

    “You know, if people saw us smiling like this, then they would think that we are some love-struck couple,” he said and gave a nervous laugh. I wish we could be a couple. IN REALITY!

    I hope that God is listening to me right now!

    From the past few years, I’ve been dreaming about becoming Ashton’s girlfriend. I’m crazy, right?

    Well, he can make any girl crazy! “So, you know how to cook?” Ashton asked me.

    “Not really but I can make noodles very well,” I told him.

    “You made noodles because you thought that you were rude to me?”

    “Yeah, and this is my way of saying sorry to you,” I said to him, sincerely.

    “Enough with the word ‘sorry’ and let’s start eating” Ashton said in a cheerful way. He handed me my plate and then he grabbed his plate too.

    He took the fork and twisted in the noodles so that the fork could hold the noodles and then he put it in his mouth. All this happened in slow motion. Or was it my thinking?

    Maybe I was thinking that all this was happening in slow motion because I was scared for Ashton’s reaction towards my food.

    I looked at Ashton as he chewed on the noodles.

    I’m a terrible cook. I’m a terrible cook. I’m a terrible-

    “Mmmm..,” Ashton moaned in delight. “This is awesome!” He said as he started eating more noodles.

    See, I told you. I make good noodles.

    I also started eating.

    When we were done, we both put our plates on the glass table in front of us.

    “You cook such awesome noodles! I want you to stay with me forever,” Ashton told me all of a sudden.

    Hearing his words made me blush! My crush thinks that my food is awesome and he wants me to stay with him forever! Well, I don’t mind.

    So many accomplishments in a day! I am proud of myself!
    But I wasn’t able to stay proud the moment my phone started ringing.

    “Hey hey you you!

    I don’t like your girlfriend…”

    Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend was ringing so loudly that I wanted to hide my face because of the embarrassment that the song had caused me. I could see that Ashton was trying to suppress his laughter at the choice of my ringtone.

    I was having a fun time with my crush and my phone’s ringing tone just ruined it.

    Personally, I love the song and I kept listening to this song when I came to know that Ashton was committed, a few years back.

    But one fine day, I came to know that he wasn’t really committed.

    The girl who had claimed to be his girlfriend really wasn’t his girlfriend! She was just a crazy girl who had a crush on Ashton.

    The reason why I’m calling the girl crazy is because she had claimed to be Ashton’s girlfriend! Her stint gave me a heart attack!

    But I was happy the moment I came to know that Ashton wasn’t really committed to that girl. That girl was just spreading rumors about her and Ashton.

    I just remembered that my phone was ringing on high volume so I literally ran to my room to shut it off.

    I put my phone in the silent mode so that no one could disturb Ashton and me.

    Now, where was I? Oh, right! We were talking about Ashton’s relationship status. Honestly,

    I’ve never seen him with a girl nor have I ever heard that he had a girlfriend.

    This leaves me thinking that was he ever committed?

    And the most important question : Is he single?

    (πŸ”Έ It Feels Like You’re Babysitting Me πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel pov 🌹
    

    It was evening.

    We were watching the movie “Rush Hour.” I love that comedy movie! We were laughing our asses off!

    When the movie finished, a question came to my mind.

    I turned to face Ashton and asked, “Can I ask you something?”

    “Yeah,” he nodded.

    “What job does Michael do?” I asked him. He maybe knowing, After all, he is my brother’s best friend.

    After hearing my question, he froze for a second and then retained himself.

    He looked at me. “I don’t think that I should tell you,” he said.

    “That means you know?” I asked. He knows?

    “Yeah. But I can’t tell you about it. Michael has forbidden me to tell you what he does,”

    Ashton explained to me.

    “But why? Why is he keeping secrets concerning what he does?”

    “Rachael, when he returns, ask him all the questions that are in your mind now, okay?”

    I just nodded my head. I was just looking down at my hands in my lap, thinking about the many questions which were roaming in my head.

    “Rachael, look at me,” Ashton told me. I looked at him.

    “You have a right to get all answers to your questions but for now you should know that your brother cares for you and whatever he’s doing, he’s doing for you,” he said to me.

    I could totally understand him so I just nodded.

    “But I can’t understand one thing, Why did he leave me with you? It feels like you’re babysitting me,” I said to Ashton.
    At this, Ashton laughed.

    “Rachael, let me tell you one thing. I’m really loving your company here. And I’m really happy that you are here with me. Usually, I get lonely in this apartment. And it’s really good to have someone,” he said as he smiled at me.

    I couldn’t help but smile back at him.

    “Sometimes, Michael thinks of me as a toddler,” I honestly told Ashton.

    Ashton laughed.

    “Why are you laughing so much?” I asked him.

    “I just imagined you as a toddler,” he told me.

    “And how did I look as a toddler?” I asked him, showing my interest. I wanted to know. I was curious at how he imagined me as a toddler.

    “I imagined you as a really cute little baby,” came the reply.

    “Really?” I asked.

    “Yeah.”

    “Oh,” I said.
    The good news here is that my crush imagined me as a cute little baby! Ashton found my baby form cute! I hope he finds my present form cute too!

    It was morning and I had taken a bath. I had wrapped a towel around my body, exited my bathroom and went to my room to get my clothes. I didn’t realize that the room’s door was open. As soon as I was about to close the door, I came across Ashton.

    Awkward.

    He looked at my face and then glanced at my towel-clad body, and then his eyes were back on my face.

    He started to slowly back me up in my room and against the wall. He had put his hands on both sides of my head.

    He leaned in and I thought that he was going to kiss my lips but he kissed my cheek instead.

    Then he started planting soft kisses from my jaw to my neck.

    The feel of his soft lips on my skin was just amazing! And it just made me close my eyes in pleasure. His hand was around my waist, pulling me close to him. The feel of his body on my body was making me so crazy!

    After he had finished kissing every part of my neck, he looked at me with that intense look and he leaned in to kiss me…

    I woke up. Damn! Another hormonal dream! I really need to control my hormones.

    Why I had to wake up before my kiss with Ashton? Can’t I even kiss him in my dreams?

    Why?!

    I took my phone from under the pillow. It was showing 7am. Gosh, my dream woke me up so early!

    I went to the bathroom and took a shower.

    This time I remembered to take my clothes with me! I didn’t wanted to experience what I saw in my dream!

    If that dream ever becomes a reality, then I would totally die of embarrassment!

    After wearing my clothes, I went out of the bathroom and exited my room.

    I went to the balcony connected to the sitting room. The cool breeze of the morning greeted my face. The feel of cool breeze on my face was just wonderful!

    Suddenly I was caught by someone and pulled inside the sitting room.

    As I turned around, I saw Ashton holding me.

    He released me and went to close the balcony door. When he had closed the door, he turned to face me. “Rachael, you won’t step out of this apartment without my permission,” he sort of commanded me.

    What happened to him suddenly? Why is he reacting in such a way? Why a sudden change of mood? “Ashton, I didn’t even step out of this apartment! I was just in the balcony enjoying the morning,” I defended myself. I think that I didn’t do any wrong by being in the balcony.

    Seeing me defending myself, Ashton seemed to calm down and was back to his normal self.

    “Rachael, I’m sorry for my sudden outburst,” he apologized.

    He came near me and said, “Rachael, I’m requesting you, please don’t step out of this apartment without my permission.”

    “But why, Ashton?” I asked. Why didn’t he want me to step out of this apartment?

    “You will come to know everything in good time,” Ashton answered.

    “When will the good time come, Ashton? Why are things being kept from me?” I asked him.

    “It’s for your own good,” he told me.

    “Ashton, I’m tired of hearing that,” I said to him and went to my room, shut the door and laid on my bed.

    After a few seconds, Ashton opened the door and entered the room. He sat beside me on the bed.

    Ashton said, “Rachael, trust me, I want to tell you everything but I have promised your brother. I agree that things are being kept from you but I assure you that Michael will tell you everything when he returns, okay?”

    “Ashton, please leave me alone,” I requested him.

    “Rachael, I” he started saying but I interrupted him.

    “Ashton, we’ll talk later. For now, I just need some alone time,”” I said.

    Ashton got up and exited the room.

    After a few minutes, realization hit me! I just told Ashton to leave me alone!

    How can I do such thing?! I can’t believe that I just told my crush to leave me alone!

    Stupid me! And how can I even talk to him like that?! I want him to like me, not to hate me. I never thought that I would have an argument with my crush!

    For half-an-hour, I kept cursing myself for my behavior towards Ashton.

    🌹 Rachel pov 🌹
    

    As I was about to exit the kitchen, I bumped into someone. I screamed. Suddenly, the lights were on and I could see the person who was standing in front of me.

    It was Ashton.

    I put my hand on my chest. My heart was beating really fast.

    I thought that a killer had come to kill me, just like how they show in movies! Thank God, it’s only Ashton!

    He came towards me, held my arms and asked, “Rachael, are you alright?” He was concerned about me.

    I nodded my head and said,

    “Yeah.”

    “What are you doing here in the kitchen at this hour?” he asked.

    “I was feeling thirsty and I came here to drink water,”I told him.

    “You could’ve switched on the lights,” he said.

    “I know but I wasn’t able to find the switch because of the darkness.”

    “Okay,” he said.

    “Let me leave you back to your room.”

    We both went together to my room. When I was settled in my bed, Ashton said, “Rachael, if you need anything then let me know. My room is just next to your room.”

    “Okay.” I nodded and smiled at him.

    “Goodnight,” Ashton said and smiled.

    “Goodnight,” I said to him.

    And he switched off the lights.


    Next day…

    I heard my name being called by a familiar and sexy voice. “Rachael, Rachael.”

    I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing that I saw was Ashton’s face.

    He said something to me but I didn’t listen to him because I was busy looking at his lips. The way his lips were moving was hypnotizing.

    “Rachael?” he asked.

    “Yeah?” I said in my sweetest voice.

    Ashton smiled at me, “Michael is on the phone,” he said and I was back from my dreamland. He handled me his phone.

    I took the phone from him and sat on my bed. I put the phone near my ear and said to Michael, “Yo.”

    At this, Ashton and Michael both laughed. I looked at Ashton. He looks so good when he’s laughing!

    “Hey dude,” Michael said to me, trying to talk “gangsta” with me.

    “So, you were still sleeping?” “Yes,” I answered.

    “At least wake up on time when you’re living at someone else’s house,” my brother said.

    “I thought to wake up early but I wasn’t able to,” I told him.

    “And where is your phone? I tried calling you but you weren’t picking up. So, I called on Ashton’s phone,” Michael asked.

    “I think that my phone is in silent mode,” I said.

    “Okay. Now get up lazy head. Do you realize that it’s twelve in the afternoon?” he asked.

    “What?! Did I sleep that late?” I asked. When I was sleeping, I thought that I had time.

    “Yes. Quickly get up now. When will you have your breakfast? Or lunch?”

    “Okay, okay. I’m up now!” I said to Michael as I put my feet on the cold floor. The floor is freezing! I felt as if I had put my feet on ice! “Good!” he said. I could hear him laughing,

    “By the way, why did you call me?” I asked him.

    “To wake you up,” he said and laughed. When he finished laughing, he said, “I was just kidding. I just called to ask you that how are you but I guess you are fine.”

    “Yeah,” I said.

    “I should go now,” Michael said to me.

    “Don’t you want to talk to Ashton?” I asked.

    “I already talked to him when you were busy sleeping,” he said. I could totally make out that he was making fun of my sleeping habit.

    Don’t worry. One day, Ill also get a chance to make fun of you.

    “Take care, Rachael,” Michael said. My brother cared about me.

    “You too, Michael,”” I said. And we ended the call.

    I looked at Ashton, who was leaning against the door.

    “Why didn’t you wake me up?” I asked him as I gave him his phone back.

    “I came to your room to wake you up but you were looking so beautiful while sleeping that I didn’t feel like waking you up,” he said with a smile.

    Okay, let me make it clear to you. He wasn’t flirting with me. He was being kind and polite.

    He will never flirt with me because I’m his best friend’s sister.

    “Get ready and meet me in the sitting room,” he said with a smile and exited the room.

    I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I was shocked. My hair was looking like a bird’s nest!

    And Ashton called me beautiful. He must be joking because there’s no way I can look beautiful with a bird’s nest on my head.

    I quickly washed my face, brushed my teeth and showered. I combed my hair. I looked in the mirror, I looked presentable.

    I then went out of the bathroom and out of the room and made my way to the sitting room. I sat beside Ashton on the same sofa.

    “Why did you lie?” I asked him. I tried to be funny.

    “What lie?” he asked, a little confused.

    “That I am beautiful,” I said.

    “That you are,” Ashton said with a smile.

    “Ashton, I can never look beautiful with a bird’s nest on my head,” I said, trying to act sad.

    “Bird’s nest?” Ashton acted confused. “Oh, you mean your hair?” Ashton laughed. He totally saw through my sad act otherwise he wouldn’t have laughed.

    “Yes,” I said.

    Ashton looked at me and his eyes just caught me in a daze.

    “Rachael, let me tell you. You are beautiful and your beauty won’t get affected whether you have a bird’s nest on your head or not. You. Are. Beautiful,” he said honestly and sincerely. I could tell by looking at his eyes.

    “I bet many guys must be falling head over heels for you,” Ashton said next.

    I resisted the urge to laugh. “No guys are falling head over heels for me,” I told him truthfully.

    He just shook his head. “No, it’s not the truth,” he said with a smile and rose up.

    He went and stood in front of me.

    What is he doing?

    Suddenly, Ashton intentionally falls on the ground. I stood up. He turned his face towards me and said, “See Rachael, I have fallen for you.” And he smiled.

    I smiled too. I know what he did there. He was just trying to cheer me up, trying to tell me that he has fallen in love with me by making himself fall on the ground. How creative.

    I went to where Ashton was lying on his back on the floor and helped him get up.

    After he was up, I asked him, “You seem to be in a cheerful mood today. What’s the matter?”

    “Nothing,” he said.

    “Okay,” I said.

    “Oh, I forgot to ask you. Do you want to have your breakfast?” he asked.

    “No. Ill straightaway have lunch,” I told him.

    “By the way, did you have your breakfast?”

    Ashton looked guilty. Why? “I had my breakfast. I was going to wait for you to get up but then my stomach started growling loudly and to calm my stomach down, I had to eat,” he said with a smile.

    I laughed at his explanation. “Tm glad you did,” I told him with a smile.

    We already had our lunch. We had delicious pasta. How can a person cook such dishes in such a heavenly manner! God, I’m in love with Ashton’s food! He should work as a chef in a five-star restaurant.

    Now we were watching music videos.

    Suddenly, the video of Justin Tinmberlake’s Mirrors came on the TV. screen. I just love that song! It’s so meaningful.

    Ashton stood up and took my hand in his hand. Again, I felt those pleasant tingles.

    I looked at our hands and then looked at him, confusingly.
    “Can I have this dance?” he asked.

    I couldn’t help but smile. But there was one problem. I didn’t know how to dance.

    “I can’t dance, Ashton,” I said. He was still holding my hand.

    “C’mon Rachael,” he said while pulling me up so that I was standing now.

    “Ashton, Ill probably step on your feet,” I started protesting.

    “No excuses,” he said and took me to the centre of the sitting room.

    He placed his hand on my back and pulled me closer to him. He put my other hand on his shoulder. And then we did what I like to call dance. Note the sarcasm, please.

    From the first step, I could tell that Ashton was a dancer and an excellent one! While he continued to dance gracefully, I was dancing clumsily. I don’t know how he managed to handle me.

    Miraculously, after a few minutes, I started dancing properly. I was no more stepping on his feet, for which I’m grateful.

    While dancing, I didn’t realize that I was so close to Ashton. His face was so close to me that I could kiss him.

    I wanted to kiss his kissable lips so desperately! But I was scared of the outcome that my action could result in.

    When the song ended, we both stopped dancing. We froze in our positions. We were standing so close to each other. I was looking at him and he was looking back at me.

    We were brought back into reality by Ashton’s phone ringing in the maximum volume. We broke apart.

    “Excuse me,” Ashton said as he went to get his phone.

    Thank the Lord for the phone call!

    (πŸ”Έ Never Watch A Romantic Movie With Your Crush πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel POV 🌹

    It was evening. We were still watching the music channel.

    The whole day we were watching the music videos of various artists.

    I don’t know about Ashton, but I was pretty bored by sitting on the same sofa and watching the same channel.

    Suddenly, the video of Five and Queen’s We Will Rock You came on the T.V. And I became excited. It is one of my favorite songs!

    Suddenly, Ashton started banging the table with the beat of the song and I was amazed as he started singing the verse.

    “Buddy you’re a boy

    Make a big noise playin’ in the street

    Gonna be a big man some day

    You got blood on your face, big disgrace

    Kicking your can all over the place (Singing)

    We will, we will rock you

    We will, we will rock you..”

    And I joined him on the chorus. We started singing together and banging on the table with the beat.

    Bang, bang, clap. Bang, bang, clap.

    “We will, we will rock you!

    We will, we will rock you!”

    We both sang the whole song together. When the song ended, we looked at each other and started laughing. We surely are crazy!

    I never knew that I could have so much fun with Ashton! I want to spend more time with him!

    I wish that Michael never returns! I laughed inwardly.

    It was around 8pm. We already had our dinner and were watching the movie “The Notebook” on T.V. Ryan Gosling is so handsome! I was inwardly fangirling for him.

    The movie was going smoothly and Ashton and I were silently watching the movie until the love-making scene came.

    Awkward.

    I started looking everywhere else other than the TV. screen. I don’t know about Ashton but I could sense that he was feeling uncomfortable too.

    Watching a love-making scene with your crush tends to make the situation more awkward and uncomfortable!

    Soon after the love-making scene, the advertisements started coming. Ashton rose from the sofa and said to me,

    “I’m coming in one minute. I just need some fresh air.” And
    he exited the sitting room.

    When he was gone, I was relieved. The atmosphere in the room had become light now. Thank God the love-making scene had ended!

    Note to self: Never watch a romantic movie with your crush!
    I watched the whole movie with Ashton. After the movie, we went to our rooms for sleeping.

    Ashton was in my room now.

    “Here are the blankets,” he said while handling the blankets to me.

    “Thanks,” I said and as I took the blankets from him, my fingers brushed with his fingers and I felt sparks or tingles, whatever you call it. I can’t believe that I just touched him!

    “Goodnight, Rachael,” he said to me.

    I don’t know what happened to me next but I started leaning towards him and I hugged him tightly and said, “Goodnight, Ashton.” I don’t know how the courage to hug him came inside of me.

    He too hugged mne. For a few minutes, we continued to stay like this. My head was on his shoulder and my arms around his neck.

    His hands were on my lower back.I was loving this position!

    I decided to move my head closer to the warmth of his neck.

    He smelled so good! His smell was intoxicating. My lips
    were so closer to his neck that I planted a kiss on the base of his neck.

    Here, I would like to state Newton’s third law of motion:

    Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

    To my action, Ashton gave an opposite reaction. With his hands on my hips, he moved me back and away from him.

    Our bodies which were touching earlier, now were apart. I looked at his face. He looked shocked.

    “Rachael, what are you doing?” He asked. I could sense the shock in his voice.

    “Ashton, I like you,” I said and leaned my face towards him, to kiss him.

    My eyes opened suddenly. I was wide awake now. I sat on the bed. I realized that I was sweating.

    God, that dream was terrifying! Or should I call it a nightmare?

    This is the reason why I don’t want Ashton to know about my feelings. I know that he will be shocked if he comes to know that I like him.

    I took out my phone from under the pillow and looked at the time. It was 4:10am. I was feeling thirsty.

    I put my phone on the bed and wiped the sweat on my face with my hand. I rose from the bed and went to the kitchen. I didn’t know where the light’s switch was so I started roaming in the darkness until I found the kitchen.

    I entered it and opened the fridge. The fridges light blinded me for a second.

    Oh Lord! This light will kill me!

    After a few seconds, my pupils started adjusting to the bright light. I found the bottle of water and took it out of the fridge. I found a glass. Luckily, it was kept on the counter. I poured water in the glass.

    I don’t know how I managed to pour water in the glass without spilling, in such darkness.

    As I was drinking the water, I looked out of the kitchen window and saw a shadow moving. I quickly put my glass down and went near the window. I saw that only a few street lamps were on.

    Whose shadow could it be? Maybe a tree’s shadow? Maybe I’m imagining things?

    I went back to the counter. After quenching my thirst, I put the bottle back in the fridge. I closed the door.

    As I was drinking the water, I looked out of the kitchen window and saw a shadow moving. I quickly put my glass down and wen near the window. I saw that only a few street lamps were on.

    As I was about to exit the kitchen, I bumped into someone. I screamed. Suddenly, the light: were on and I could see the person who was standing in front of me.

    (πŸ”Έ Sometime, My Emotions Get Me!πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel POV 🌹

    After closing the door, Ashton turned to face me and asked me, “So, what do you want to do?”

    I looked down at the floor and said, “I don’t know.”

    “Rachael, I hope you’re not finding the floor more interesting than me,” Ashton said.

    Ashton, trust me. I cannot fnd anything more interesting than you.

    “Are you alright, Rachael? Why are you looking at the floor instead of looking at me and talking to me?”

    That’s because I know that Ill start blushing the moment I look at you.

    Okay, I should stop talking to myself.

    I looked at him and tried to smile as I said, “I’m alright. And I was looking at the floor just like that.”

    “Okay,” said Ashton. “Let mne show to your room. C’mon,” he said as he took my suitcase to a room. I followed him.

    We entered a room. Ashton had put my suitcase on the double-size bed.

    “Thanks,” I said to him. He just smiled at me.

    His smile can make my heart beat faster.

    “You can unpack your things and get fresh. I’ll be waiting for you in the sitting room,” said Ashton and he exited the room.

    *****

    After unpacking my things and washing my face, I started thinking about whether I should put make-up or not. I wanted to look good in front of my crush!

    I decided to go for a natural look and didn’t bother to put any make-up on my face.

    I exited the room and went to the sitting room where Ashton was sitting on the sofa, watching a music channel on the LED screen TV.

    I sat on another sofa. If I had sat on the sofa beside him then my cheeks would’ve started heating up and I didn’t want that.

    “So, you had breakfast?” asked Ashton. I could sense his eyes on me.

    “Yeah,” I answered, without looking at him as I was “busy” looking at the video of Nicki Minaj’s Starships.

    “Starships were meant to fly

    Hands up, and touch the sky

    Can’t stop, ’cause we’re so high

    Let’s do this one more time..”

    Yes, Nicki. Your song has proved that starships were in fact meant to fly I say sarcastically to myself.

    “Who prepared the breakfast?” Ashton asked.

    “Michael. He said that it was kind of a goodbye present to me,” I said to him, without taking my eyes off the screen.

    “So, you like Nicki Minaj?” he asked.

    “Kind of,” I said. Now, Nicki Minaj was shaking her “stuff” and I was regretting that I had told Ashton that I liked her.

    Her video “Starships” should be banned because her video has embarrassed me in front of my crush!

    I want to dieeeeeee!!!

    Okay, that was over-dramatic. I don’t want to die, I inwardly said to myself.

    Ashton didn’t say anything and continued to watch the video. I did the same.

    After a few seconds, the video ended.

    Thank you Lord!

    Now it was lunch time. Ashton had brought two plates full of the food he had prepared and had kept them on the glass table.

    The glass table was placed in front of the sofa.

    “You know how to cook?” I asked as he sat on the sofa.

    “Yeah,” he replied.

    “That’s wow” I said and sat beside him on the sofa.

    “And why is that?” he asked.

    I told him, while looking at him, “That’s because only few guys know how to cook.”

    “Yeah, that’s true,” he said.

    I wish I could help him make our lunch. But let me tell you, I am a terrible cook, but then also I wanted to help him. But being the gentleman he is, he didn’t let me help him.

    But I got the chance to watch him prepare the food!
    And let me tell you, watching your crush, gracefully preparing meal is so SEXYYYY!!

    Okay, I tried to control my emotions.

    Sometimes, my emotions get me! “Rachael, you start,” Ashton said as he motioned towards my plate.

    I looked at my plate full of food. I didn’t know what the dish was. And I didn’t even bother asking.

    Even if the dish would taste bad, I would totally gulp it down my throat and tell Ashton that the dish is amazing. That’s how much I liked Ashton!

    I took the spoon and took the first bite. As sOon as the dish entered my mouth, I was filled with delight.

    “Mmmmm..,” escaped my mouth. The dish is so delicious!

    “Ashton, this is awesome!” I said and started attacking the dish on my plate. My eating manners had gone out of the window.

    “Thank you,” said Ashton as he smiled at me and then he started eating too. I didn’t know that my crush can cook such a delicious meal!

    I’ve started to like him more now because of his cooking!

    “When Michael will return, I’m going to take you home with me so that you can cook such delicious food for us everyday!” I told him, with my mouth full of food. Then I realized what I just said. And I froze. My mouth too froze.

    Ashton laughed. I looked at him and saw that he was busy eating his meal. I nervously laughed.

    Thank God he didn’t look at me before! When my mouth froze earlier, I could surely tell you that I looked like a cow chewing his food.

    Thank God he didn’t look at me before! When my mouth froze earlier, I could surely tell you that I looked like a cow chewing his food.

    After taking a bite of his food, Ashton looked at me and said,

    “I would surely love it if you take me home with you.”

    I looked at his green eyes and they were indicating that he was telling the truth.

    (πŸ”Έ Blushing Problem πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel pov 🌹

    Next day.

    “Have you packed everything?” Michael asked me.

    “Yeah,” I told him.

    He came to me and picked up my suitcase and said, “Let’s go.”

    I nodded and followed him towards his car.

    He put my suitcase in the trunk and sat on the driver’s seat while I sat on the passenger seat.

    Michael started the engine and we started our journey towards Ashton’s house.

    In the middle of the way, I asked, “When will you return, Michael?”

    He replied, “I have no idea.”

    After a few minutes, we reached an area full of apartments. Michael parked the car in the underground parking lot and got out.

    “What are we doing here?” I asked him as he got out of the car.

    Michael had taken out my suitcase from the trunk. “This is where Ashton lives,” he told me.

    “As far as I can remember, this is not where Ashton lived,” I said to him.

    Michael started walking towards the lift with my suitcase.

    “Yeah. He didn’t used to live here. He just recently moved here,” he said.

    I too, started walking after him. Now, we were standing in front of the lift and waiting for the lift to Come.

    “But why?” I asked.

    The lift came and we both got in.

    Michael laughed.

    “You ask too many questions,” he said. We were both alone in the lift. Michael pressed the second button for the second floor.

    When we reached the second floor, the lift of the doors opened and we got out of it. Michael was heading towards the door marked 2-C.

    Beside the door, there was written “Mr. Tucker.”

    “Is this Ashton’s apartment?” I asked.

    “Yes,” answered Michael.

    “His surname is Tucker?” I asked.

    Ashton’s name is similar to the name of the celebrity Ashton Kutcher. Tucker, Kutcher. Kutcher, Tucker. I laughed inwardly.

    Michael looked at me with an amused expression on his face and asked, “What happened to you?”

    “What happened to me?”I asked back.

    “I can see it on your face. What were you thinking?” my brother asked.

    I laughed remembering the “Tucker-Kutcher” thing.

    “Nothing,” I told him.

    Once we were standing in front of Ashton’s apartment, Michael rang the doorbell three times.

    “Why did you ring the doorbell three times?” I asked him.

    Michael laughed. “You ask too many questions.”

    I just rolled my eyes.

    “You always say that,” I told him.

    “That’s because it’s true,” Michael said.

    The door opened and Ashton was standing, looking hot as always, wearing white shirt and black jeans. My cheeks were heating up as I was looking at him so I decided to look at the floor so that my blush could vanish from my cheeks.

    “Hi!” he greeted both of us and moved aside for us to enter.
    We entered his apartment and it was a neat apartment.

    People always say that when a boy lives alone, his house is always a mess but this case wasn’t with Ashton. His apartment was neat and clean. His previous house was also clean, like this one.

    This isa very beautiful apartment.

    When we were all inside the apartment, Michael and Ashton did their manly handshake and hugged each other tightly.

    “Hey, how are you doing?” Michael asked

    Ashton after they were done with hugging each other.

    “I’m doing well,” replied Ashton with a smile.

    “What about you?”

    “Same here, bro,” replied Michael.

    Ashton turned to face me and said, “Hi Rachael.”

    “Hi,” I said to himn in my little voice and looked the other way. IfI had continued to look at him then I would’ve blushed and I didn’t wanted him to know that he has an effect on me.

    “How are you?” he asked next.

    I looked at him and said, “I’m fine.” Then I looked the other way.

    Usually, when Michael and I hang out with Ashton, I talk normally to him, like looking at him and conversing with him.

    But today, I’m feeling uncomfortable by even looking at him!

    And it’s not only because of my blushing problem.

    I’m uncomfortable with the whole idea of living with Ashton. But I can’t help it. I don’t have any option.

    Normally, when a girl gets an opportunity to live with her crush, she is thrilled at the idea.

    But not me. I’m not one of those girls.

    I’m actually scared. Scared about living with my crush. I don’t want him to know how I feel about him. That’s because I know that he and I will never be together.

    While thinking about all this, I didn’t realize that Michael was standing in front of me. He hugged me and said, “Ill miss you.”

    I hugged him back in a bone crushing hug and said, “Il miss you too.” I didn’t want Michael to leave me.

    We broke apart. He put his hand on my cheek and said,

    “Take care.”

    “You too.”

    He, then, looked at Ashton and nodded.

    Ashton nodded back at him. It seemed as if they were communicating to each other through their minds.

    Michael, then, said to both me and Ashton, “I should be leaving now.” He turned to exit the apartment.

    But before he could exit, Ashton said to him, “All the best, bro.”

    But before he could exit, Ashton said to him, “All the best, bro.”

    Ashton was wishing him luck for his “work.”

    Michael turned to look back at Ashton and with a smile, he said, “Thanks.”

    And Michael exited the apartment.

    Ashton went to close the door. After closing the door, Ashton turned to face me and asked me, “So, what do you want to do?”

    (πŸ”Έ But I’m Not A Kid Anymore πŸ”Έ)

    🌹 Rachel POV 🌹

    “What!” I exclaimed in amazement. My brother really has to be kidding right now.

    “There’s no option left,” Michael, my brother, said.

    “There’s an option left. You can leave me at home,” I protested. Why did he have a problem with leaving me alone at home? I’m not a kid anymore. I’m eighteen, an adult.

    “Rach, I’ll be gone for a few days for some work, and Ill be worrying about you if I leave you alone at home all by yourself,” Michael was using my nickname now. Michael always calls me Rach whenever he has to explain me something.

    “I can leave you alone at home for one day, not more than that. And to finish my work, it will take me days or maybe weeks, I’m not sure.”

    He then put his hands on my shoulder and said, “Rach, I need someone to be there with you, to take care of you-”

    “But I’m not a kid anymore,” I said, interrupting him.

    Michael continued, “I know you’re not a kid anymore but it is for my satisfaction that I I’ll be leaving you with Ashton. I need you to be safe and leaving you with Ashton can only make me feel that you are safe and away from danger.”

    “Safe and away from danger? What are you talking about, Michael? No one’s going to kidnap me from my own house,” I said and laughed. I mean, who could really kidnap me? I’m not a celebrity nor am I the daughter of a rich man. So no one will be interested in kidnapping me.

    “Rachael, I’m leaving you with Ashton and we are not going to talk about it any further,” he told me.

    “Tomorrow I’ll be leaving for my work and Ill be dropping you at Ashton’s place so you better pack your clothes for the stay,” with saying this, he went to his room.

    From tomorrow onwards, I’ll be living with Ashton.

    But there’s one thing that Michael doesn’t know. And that thing is that I have a childhood crush on Ashton. And now, Michael is telling me that Ill have to live with him.

    How will I be able to live with him when I can’t even look at him without blushing? He’s so handsome. And sexy. With his black hair and green eyes, any girl can fall for him.

    Anyway, sometimes I think that my brother is blind. Not literally. There have been many occasions when we all, Michael, Ashton and I, were together. And whenever I used to talk to Ashton, I used to always blush. I know it.

    Then how come Michael and Ashton didn’t notice me blushing? Both are blind! Both are clueless about my feelings. But I don’t want them to know about my feelings. It will be so weird for Michael if he comes to know that I
    have a crush on his best friend!

    I wish that my parents were alive. Then I wouldn’t have to go and live with Ashton. My parents died ina car accident when I was ten and Michael was thirteen.

    Whenever I tried asking Michael further about our parents’ death, he used to always avoid answering my question. I could tell from his face that he knew a lot about the death of our parents but he choOses not to tell me.

    After a few years, I completely stopped asking him about our parents.

    After the death of our parents, we used to live with Michael’s godparents. When Michael was eighteen, he got a job. And till this day, I don’t know what job he does and what work does it involve.

    Once, I tried asking himn about his job but he didn’t reveal the nature of his job or his work.

    Sometimes I wonder what kind of job he does. Because for doing that job, he gets an excellent pay. And because of that pay, we were able to move out from Michael’s godparents’ house and move into our new house.

    We’ve been living in this house for three years. And now, Michael is going out of town for some “work’ and I’ll be living with his best friend.

    How will I manage to live with Ashton?

    He’s cute.

    He’s hot.

    He’s sexy.

    With these thoughts in my head, I went to my room and started packing my clothes and things in my suitcase while listening to David Archuleta’s Crush.

    “Do you ever think when you’re all alone

    All that we can be, where this thing can go?

    Am I crazy or falling in love?

    Is it really just another crush?

    Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

    Are you holding back like the way I do?

    Cause Ive tried and tried to walk away

    But I know this crush ain’t going away-ay-y-ay

    Going aWay-ay-y-ay..”

    This song is totally made for me! This song perfectly describes what I’m feeling right now.

    I had finished my packing around 9pm.

    Michael and I already had our dinner.

    And only after the dinner, he told me that tomorrow Ill be living with Ashton.

    So, here I am, lying on my bed, thinking about tomorrow.
    Will I be able to survive living with my childhood crush, Ashton, under the same roof? I’ll totally have to work on controlling my blush meter since I’ll have to see him everyday. I sighed.

    Lord, please help me to live with Ashton! I really need your help!
