Not A Love Story

Ch.8

Ashley's POV
I was woken up by my phone buzzing from receiving messages but my body ached so much I could barely reach for it. When I finally stretched out enough to reach my phone I saw that it was Jessica, fireworks when off in my head and I immediately began to text back.

Jess: Hey stranger, hope I don't wake u

Ash: Hi! That's ok, I've been up for a while. How's my favorite best friend?

Jess: I'm good actually, u ran on my mind so I thought I'd do a little check up. Is James finally treating u like the queen u r?

It's as if she can sense when something's wrong, before this she hadn't texted me in weeks now she's asking about James the day after I cheated on him and get spanked? What are the odds?

Ash: Everything is fine, u don't need to worry about James

What? Did you expect me to tell her so she can just worry more? Fuck no, I can handle it.

Jess: I can only hope ur not lying to me n that u  know how much I love u, ok?

Ash: Ofc, I love u too

Suddenly I could hear footsteps coming towards my room, it could only be James and after last night I can already tell he's gonna be in a bad mood.

Ash: uhhh...I have to go, text u later ok?

Jess: Ok later, be safe!

I quickly locked my phone, laid back down in bed and closed my eyes. Hopefully if he sees me sleeping he'll go away, I wasn't ready to face him. The door flew open and I tried my best to stay still.

"RISE AND SHINE, SWEETIE!", James almost yelled. Wtf, was he high or drunk? Was yesterday some sick twisted dream or something? I was so confused. Slowly, I pretended to be just waking up and opened my eyes to see him smiling ear to ear.

"Um..... are you ok", I said as quietly as I could. "I'm great, why wouldn't I be, darling?". Now he's really freaking me out, I stayed quiet not knowing what to say and avoided eye contact at all costs.

"Oh! Are you referring to yesterday when you let someone else fuck you?"

*slowly nods head*

"Why would I be mad when my plan worked?"

I felt my heart skip a beat ..."What plan?"

"Too many questions too early in the morning. Come on get out of bed."

Maybe he was just joking or something, what part of yesterday could've possible been planned? I frantically searched my brain for an answer but none of it made sense to me and now I had to wait for James to stop messing around and tell me what's going on which could take a while.

He held his hand out and I hesitantly took it, he helped me out of bed and gave me the clothes I took off the night before. After putting them on while he watched, he led me to the kitchen where I was met with the sweet aroma of waffles, blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon, and all my favorite breakfast food.

"Did you do all this......why?", I was honestly in awe.

"Who else could've done it, we obviously don't have a maid and don't worry, I'll tell you why in a second"

He pulled a chair out for me, I sat down and began eating. "How are the pancakes, sweetheart, I know blueberry is your favorite?", James questioned, "They're amazing, I can't believe you remembered"

"Of course I did, you tend to remember things about the people you care about"

I choked on my waffle.
