It was already 8:39 and it was pretty dark out. Walking into Ashton's neighborhood, I spotted his house. Holding my breath, i knocked on his house door. Ashton came to the door half dressed. "Hey", he said dryly.
"Hey...can I come in?", I asked. He left the door open for me. I walked inside and locked the door behind me. He looked tired and out of it. Maybe he was just high . He didn't look like the type to smoke but you never know. His abs were looking good though. I made myself comfortable on the couch while he left to go put on a shirt. Didn't take a minute to put one one and basketball ball shorts. "So wasup?", he asked sitting across from me on another couch. "Uhm nothing much. I uh called you and texted you all day today and i didn't get a call or text back", I said. "Phone's off", he plainly said.
"Oh okay. Well uh.. I broke up with jay." Ashton's face did not change at all.
"Okay", he said.
"That's all your gonna say? 'Okay?''
"Ciara, What do you want me to say? I'm glad you finally decided to break up with ol'boy?", he said.
"No. But at least be happy."
"Be happy? Nah. I don't need a girl to break up with her boyfriend out of pity for me", he said getting upset.
"I didn't break up with him because of that. I broke up with him because I had enough. I broke up with him because I don't love him. I broke up with him because I seriously want to be with you, Ashton", I yelled. Silence between us grew and Ashton looked at me. "So why did you wait til now to tell me. Why did you wait til now to break up with ya boy?", he asked lowering his voice.
"Because I thought he would change and never loved me from the beginning", I said looking down. Tears started to fall down my face. I didn't know which one was worse. Jay sayin he never loved me from the start or me waiting til now to go to something that's better not knowing if it's too late or not. Ashton gave me some tissues and lifted my my face while kneeling in front of me. He looked into my eyes and said, "You really want to be with a handsome, fine man like me?"
He caused me to smile. "Yes."
"And you ready to move on?"
"Yes." We ended the night with one passionate kiss and Ashton dropped me home.
