Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 15
Ashtonâs p.o.v
âYou should come to the club with us tomorrowâ. Jayden said over the phone.
âI would love to but I have been really busy latelyâ. I told him.
âTomorrow is Friday,dude when do you become this boring. This attitude is getting old,I wonder if you still remember the faces of those girls in the club. Câmon man letâs have funâ. He persuaded.
âI would try to comeâ. I assured him.
âYou should come,donât try to. We all know you are engaged but that doesnât change anything right?â. He asked.
âYes it doesnât change anythingâ.
âThank God you know you being engaged doesnât matter, Victor is married too and he still comes with us for every outing. You arenât any different okay? And you are not getting rid of us anytime soonâ. He ranted.
âOkay. I am hanging up nowâ. I told him before ending the call.
Jayden rants alot,he was the chatterbox of our little group. I wouldnât call us a group because we are friends,tight friends.
I met Jayden and the rest of the guys in college and we kinda hit off. The other guys are doing well too and I am glad I met business minded people like them,it helps my business too you know.
Jayden might be a chatterbox around us but he is also a genius in business and he doesnât joke with his money. No one does anyways.
I poured myself another glass of scotch,I sipped a little before i heard the ding of the elevator.
I guess our antisocial kim was back already. Living with Kim havenât been what I expected,before she packed in I was planning on frustrating her for the few months she would be here and sincerely i tried doing that,I even did a little of that but she wasnât budging and she always ignored me sometimes we might not see each other for a day.
When I left for work she would still be asleep and whenever I get back she would have retired to her room. She was really keeping her distance and for no exact reason it infuriated me,other girls would have been glad to live in my house but she was just so different and I didnât like how it made me feel one bit.
âKim can you do us a favor and input the password. I think Ashton has changed it from the former oneâ. I heard my mom high pitched voice.
My mom was loud and infuriating no doubt and it usually frustrated me. I changed my password because this is my house and she canât just keep barging in without my permission because she knows the password to the house. I wonder why she followed Kim to the house again,it is already late.
âI am sorry but I donât know the password tooâ. Kim replied. Of course she doesnât know it because she did not even ask me, Scott was always the one opening the door for her and she doesnât bother to ask him about it.
âYou mean you donât know the password and you expect me to believe that. Come and input it pleaseâ. My mom pressed on.
I stood up from where I was sitting and went towards the door,I inputed the password and the door slide open to reveal a tired looking Kim,my angry mom and a smiling Julia. Freaking Julia? What was she doing here?
âRight Ashton,you changed your password without telling your mother about it right?â. My mom scolded frowning her face. She didnât even wait to enter before scolding me. âAndrew take Kim bags inâ. She instructed.
A huge guy that rarely talked to me went pass me inside the house after mumbling greetings. Julia,mom and Kim followed. I am very sure I saw Kim staggering.
I closed the door after them before facing them. What was Julia doing here?.
âJulia what are you doing here?â. I asked her frowning and she forced a sickly sweet smile at me. Did she think that was seductive in any way?
âAshton that was rude. You didnât even offer us a drink. We have been busy all dayâ. My mom came to her rescue.
I shook my head before going to get them a drink.
âPour me a Scotch Ashtonâ. My mom called after me.
âI would take a Martiniâ. Julia said.
âI donât have a Martiniâ. I shouted back and I was looking at the glass of Martini beside me.
âPour me a Scotch too thenâ. She said again.
B—h.
What am I? A barman.
I got their drinks and went back to the living room.
âThank you so much Andrewâ I heard Kim tell the muscular guy and surprisingly he smiled. Andrew f—–g smiled.
âMy pleasure Kimberlyâ. He said and she smiled politely at him.
She was about to climb the stairs when mom interrupted her âKimberly,donât tell me you are going to bed now. Come have a drink with usâ.
âI am sorry,I canât. I am really tired. Thanks for todayâ. She said politely.
âI insist you wait a little. Be polite enough to wait till I am goneâ. My mom insisted.
âI would be back,let me drop this bags offâ. She said already on her way to her room.
âShe is rudeâ. Julia said immediately she got out of our sight and I shot her a look.
âShe is just tiredâ. I heard myself say.
âRight she isâ. My mom said sarcastically âshe didnât even pick anything in the store,she was giving me a cold attitude and i donât care either. She is just being lazyâ. My mom said.
âShe doesnât like things like that. We all have different hobbies momâ. I said defending her.
âNo she is impolite,why would she want to retire to bed when I am still around? She is low on etiquette I sincerely wondered what you see in a simple office girl without girly etiquette. Julia wouldnât try something like thisâ she ranted on and I sighed loudly.
âMom that is none of your business. It is my business and you should respect thatâ. I told her.
âRight your business? I am your mother and whatever concerns you concerns me. I thought I was the one that invited her for an outing and she rarely spoke to me. She was either busy with Millie or Andrew. Andrew of all people and I wonder what was so fascinating about Millieâs drawing that she gushed aboutâ. Mom said again. Right I wonât hear the end of this.
âAunt Rosa,she probably likes to talk to people of her class. Andrew is in her classâ she said and her and my mom laughed mockingly.
And I got angry âJulia what are you doing here anyways?â.
She gasped after seeing the angry look on my face. âI followed your mom to pay you a visitâ
âYes and that is so sweet of Julia. She obviously cares about you and you donât have to be rudeâ. Mom gushed
Kim walked In and she took a seat in the far end of the room. She already discarded the blue cloth for a pyjamas and her hair was a gorgeous mess on her head. She looked cute.
Snap out of it Ashton.
âWhat took you so long?â. My mom asked like it wasnât obvious already.
âI took a showerâ. She replied gently.
âThat is not polite and it is rude. You donât leave visitors waiting to do other thingsâ. Mom scolded.
âI am sorryâ. She apologized.
âAnd about your hair. Remember we agreed to reduce the length,we would do that next week Thursday. Julia would come along,she happens to know some cool salons .â Mom said and Kim scrunched her eyebrows.
âAre you cutting her hair?â. I asked out of curiosity.
âYes Ash,it is too long and thatâs not what is trending nowâ. My mom replied.
Julia and my mom talked about different things like they didnât know it was late already. I wondered if Julia ever runs out of topics to talk about. Kim as usual ignored them and was engrossed on her phone.
âMom it is getting late,you should be on your wayâ. I interrupted them when I couldnât take it any longer.
âAre you chasing us?â. She retorted.
âNo I am not. I am just worried about you getting home late,it is risky and there might be trafficâ. I told her.
âDonât worry about that Ashton. We can sleep here if it gets too lateâ. She suggested.
Mom sleep here with Julia? Thatâs impossible. Juliaâs place is an hotel not my house. I rarely brought ladies to my house.
âNo you canât sleep here mom,it isâŠ.â
âEnough of your rants Ashton,donât be rude to your mother. I wasnât planning on staying here anywaysâ. She interrupted me frowning âJulia give him what you got him. Letâs be on our wayâ.
Julia smiled before dragging two shopping bags that i didnât notice she brought with her before.
âWhat is that?â. I asked her because I clearly saw âvictoriaâs secretâ label on it.
What am I ? Gay?.
âJulia was nice enough to select few things for you when we went shopping. Isnât that so sweet?â. My mom gushed.
âIn a ladies store? I donât wear ladies things. I am not a wimpâ. I complained.
âWhy donât you check what is in the bag first and stop whiningâ. Mom said frowning.
I collected the bag from Julia who intentionally trailed her hands on my arm. Was she honestly trying to seduce?
I checked the bag,there was a pack of boxers,a pack of socks and another rainbow colored short. She even got me perfumes and candles.
I sniffed the perfumes,it was too girly âthank you. But this isnât necessary and it isnât my styleâ. I told her and her smile fell,mom frowned at me too and Kim chuckled loudly. We all turned to see her engrossed in whatever she was doing on the phone still oblivious of what was happening.
She stopped what she was doing when she noticed the room was quiet âI am sorry if I interrupted your discussionâ. She said innocently.
Julia scoffed and she shot her a death glare,mom sighed before facing me and Kim paused whatever she was doing on her phone to listen to us.
âAshton that was rudeâ. My mom scolded âJulia was thoughtful enough to get you this things,you should be glad she didâ.
âAnd I thanked her didnât I? I just said it wasnât my style and it was not necessaryâ. I replied even though my mind was on whoever Kim was chatting with that made her laugh that way.
âWhat is your style then? Incase of next timeâ Julia asked. Doesnât she knows when to stop?
âThere should be no next time. I can get my personal stuffs myselfâ. I told her sternly.
âYou donât need to speak to Julia this way,she cares about you so much to think of you in a ladies store. Your fiancee was there and she didnât even think of getting anything for you when it was like she was forced to get things for herself. And someone was thoughtful enough to get you things and you arenât even gratefulâ. My mom ranted bringing the discussion back to Kim.
Kim was listening to her but she didnât falter or argue with her like she was already used to her saying mean things and the conversation was just boring her out.
She probably knows girly things wasnât my style or she simply didnât care.
âLetâs be on our way Juliaâ. My mom said standing up âAshton you shouldnât be this rude. This girl has done nothing than to care for you all the time and you are always giving her a cold shoulder. All she wants is to be your friendâ.
Julia my Friend? Julia doesnât want my friendship,she wants my d–k.
âI donât make friends mom and I think Julia and I are okay the way we areâ. I told her.
âThen you guys can be more than friends. We both know office relationships donât last longâ. My mom muttered and I immediately understood what she meant.
âAshton have lunch with me when you are freeâ. Julia suggested and i shot her a flat look.
âI wonât be free for lunch meetingsâ. I told her.
âFind a date Ashton and have lunch with the pretty ladyâ. She commanded strolling to the door with Julia on her trail. âWalk us out Kim. Would you be polite for onceâ. She said again startling Kim who was busy with her phone again.
Kim stood up following mom and Julia to the exit.
âGoodnight Momâ.
âGoodnight Ashton and think about what I told youâ. She replied.
âHave a safe trip and a wonderful nightâ. Kim said with a tight smile.
âYes we willâ. Mom replied curtly.
âGoodnight Ashtonâ. Julia said licking her lips.
âGoodnight Juliaâ.
I watched them as they made their way to the car and I retired inside.
Kim was on the same couch still engrossed on whatever she was doing on her phone, chuckling again. I bet she didnât even notice me,whoever she was chatting with must be d–n funny for her to be chuckling this way and it infuriated me.
âYou donât have to be so rude to my momâ. I told her desperately wanting her attention even if it means I have to annoy her.
âRude? Was I rude to your mom?â. She asked me looking shocked.
âYou are asking me that?you were so rude. I get it you never wanted to go out with her before but the least you could do was to be politeâ. I told her.
âBelieve me I was polite. Did she say I was rude to her because honestly I wasnâtâ. She argued.
âSure you werenâtâ. I said sarcastically âyou were rude and impolite. Yes, this is all a plan but the least you could have done was to make her like you but instead you f—-d everything up as usualâ.
âDid she tell you all this?â. She asked again.
âLike it isnât so obviousâ. I retorted
âI am grateful she told you all that. Because I donât like her too,I think you guys are alike character wise. After all this is over I think you should settle with Julia because she is a good match for you and guess what,your mom adores her alotâ. She said before walking past me.
My eyes trailed after her as she climbed the stairs and she was out of sight.
My mom is really infuriating and I believe I am not like her. She is worst or am i really like her?
