Aleeya reaches the place where she agreed to meet with Ash at.
It's Ash's beach house. Upon finding the door unlocked, she walks inside, closing the door behind her.
She walks around studying every corner of the beautiful 5 bedroom house.
Welcoming you from the door is a beautiful fur white mat laid on the tiles.
It's the white couches decorated with peach cushions. There's a small circle shaped glass table in the middle balancing the magazines on top.
It's a big house with a lot of space. Although there's a lot of space, it doesn't feel cold and empty rather warm and cozy.
She places her purse on one of the couches, removes her coat and puts it aside her purse.
Looking around she still can't spot Ash.
"Um... Zodiac!" She calls out to him but there's no answer.
She take her phone and dials his number but before she can call him, she hears the sound of the door, opening and shutting.
Ash appears in front of her carrying a bottle of champagne.
"Alee." A smile appears on his face as he looks at Aleeya, walking towards her.
He places the bottle on the glass table without taking his eyes off of her.
"Um... your door... your door was unlocked. Why would you leave your door unlocked?" Aleeya asks, looking at Ash up and down with a soft smile on her face.
"Yes um... I just went nearby, to get champagne."
"Right... I see."
Without losing eye contact, Ash and Leeya communicate whilst admiring each other.
The attraction becomes stronger as Ash walks closer to her.
He lifts his hand up to Aleeya's face and removes a piece of hair on her face, tucking it behind her ear.
"You um... you look beautiful"' He whispers, holding himself back from wrapping Aleeya in his arms.
Aleeya just smiles remembering that she came here to end things with him.
"Um... thanks."
"Care for a glass of champagne?" He offers after a few seconds, opening the bottle.
"Sure, I can get the glasses."
"Cool. Just walk straight, turn to your left, pass the dining room. You'll come across stairs that lead downstairs, take the stairs and you'll find a big kitchen to your right." Ash says with a big smile on his face.
"Stairs that lead downstairs to the kitchen?" Aleeya asks with a bit of confusion on her face.
"Yep. Straight, left, pass, stairs, right, big kitchen."
"Um you know what..."
"(Laughs) It's okay, I'll get the glasses."
"Great(Laughs)"
Ash walks to the kitchen to get glasses, leaving Aleeya to continue exploring the house.
She notices a lot of certificates on the wall. Walks closer and reads the biggest framed one written, [Pianist Of The Year: Zodiac Ash Coles]. She lets out a small laugh and mouths 'Pianist? Ash? Wow.'
She explores some more and comes across a picture frame that's faced down on the table near a lamp.
"Loving the house so far?" Before Aleeya could pick up the photo frame.
Ash interrupts her walking in, carrying two glasses of champagne.
"A pianist, really Ash?" She smiles.
"I was really good back then okay." More relaxed now, Ash boasts, pouring the champagne.
