JASH

Chapter 28

                         Nelson

Ash had scolded all of us for the first time. Well it was also the first time we lacked in our work. After that she had managed the meeting and left.

I walked back towards James and Nico and saw them surrounded by pile of files and a coffee machine.

I internally laughed at their situation but I wasn't that mean to laugh at their face.

"Nel if you laugh at me I will break your teeth and then I will see how Anna leaves you." James threatened me.

"Sure dude." I shrugged and headed towards my laptop.
I had already arranged my work and was free. I stared at the screen as thoughts swirled in my mind.

I had met Anna a few years ago through Ash. I was her good friend and also her company and gangs main member. Anna and I hated each other at first.

I hated her for her open behavior and she hated me for my quiet one.

After that I developed unwanted feelings for her. She had a boyfriend and was probably going to marry him so I had no hope.

After two years of hate and love she had broken up with her boyfriend and then left for Los Angeles.

I was alone and of course hurt. I always had James, Nico and Ash with me. I trusted them the most.

After Anna returned the feelings I had thought had finished also returned.

After her flirting and the kiss at the party it became evident that she had loved me for a long time and had broken up with her boyfriend because of her love for me.

Things were getting serious between us and I am not one of those who can't manage a relationship but she was my first love and hurting her intentionally or unintentionally was the worst possible thought.

I was a part of the world's most dangerous gang and had many enemies. I didn't give Anna hope for I didn't want her to become the target of my enemies because of choices.

I also knew that Ash wanted the gang to be a secret from Mylie and Anna and if I was in a relationship with Anna I couldn't possibly hide such a thing. I also didn't want Ash to worry about my love story issues and so I didn't talk to her about it.

So I pushed her away and feeling hurt she pushed me away.

But after the fight at the musical party when Ash blurted that she knew my and Anna's feelings for each other and that she hated me for hiding it I saw some sense and made the decision.

Before I thought I was choosing between Ash and Anna and I couldn't leave Ash for a person who I didn't have a relation with. Yes I had feelings for her but not a relation except our so called friendship.

But that night Ash made it clear that there was no such choice and that there will never be.

So i stopped acting like a jerk.
During that whole period I took out my stress on work and worked like a maniac or more like Ash.

I made all the project files, the pdfs, the folders, the projections and soo on.

And thanks to that I was spared from Ash's anger and fury.

"Hey Nel get me a cup of coffee." James ordered
"The coffee machines by your side pig." I murmured.
James glared at me as I grinned at him.

"Don't call me that." he snarled
"So should I call you baby? But I thought that was reserved for the one and only Lina Chase." I teased him
His cheeks reddened and his eyes narrowed.
Even Nico who had been very quiet since Ash's fight also snickered.
