You're Not My Babysitter

Chapter 20

Andy

I woke up to my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I said after clicking answer.

"Andy hey it's me-"

I hung up after hearing Cassie's voice and then I finally blocked her number.

Note to self...start looking at your caller ID before answering the phone.

"What time is it?" Ashton mumbled from beside me.

"Hmm...10:07," I smiled taking my other arm out from under her, "I'm surprised to see your here."

"What?"

I chuckled a bit at her confused face, "Usually your back in your room by time I wake up."

She sat up a little bit to look me in the eyes, "I'm sorry I can-"

"Jo, it's ok," I chuckled, "just because it's never happened before doesn't mean I don't like it."

I didn't mean it like that.

Did I?

She paused a minute before changing the subject.

"So who was on the phone?"

"Cassie," I sighed and noticed her stiffen, "don't worry I hung up as soon as I figured out it was her...and I finally blocked her fucking number which is something I should've done a long time ago."

Ashton grabbed my shirt from the edge of the bed and threw it on before she sat back next to me.

"Why didn't you?"

"I don't know," I said after a minute, "I think I was just holding on. I still can't figure out to what though."

Ashton kissed the tattoo on my shoulder.

"Maybe you're holding on to you wanted it to be instead of what it actually was?"

I nodded my head, "I guess so. I mean, we called are relationship serious but, I was really on the road more than I was with her."

"Really?"

"Yeah," I chuckled dryly, "maybe if I would've had more time with her I would've saw what she was sooner."

"Well," Ashton clicked her tongue, "somethings take awhile to figure out. You know what I mean?"

I know exactly what you mean.
