What lies underneath man's clothing [War Of Love Triology (Book 1)]

Chapter 22

Ashton's POV

After Zyon brought Sahara home, Regis has been staying here for one whole week to take care of Sahara.

Morning came when i heard a knock on my door

" Please come in " i said and closed my laptop

" Uhm.. G-good morning "

I saw Sahara's sillouhete showing up

Her voice was soft and gentle. It was cute

I think she's younger than me, around 17 maybe.

" Hi, come in Sahara. Good morning. Did you sleep well? "

She gave me a small nod and she looks like she want to say something

" What is it? You want to say something, yes? " i asked and motioned her to have a seat

" So uhm.. I heard from Brother Regis that you agreed to make me stay and you even nursed me.. I'm here to say that im very grateful, thank you very much, Brother Ashton " she said and bowed her head

" You're a good child, you never lost your kindness and gentleness despite of what happened. Don't worry about it, and you're always welcome. " i said and pat her head

" Have you eaten your dinner? " i asked

" ...yet "

" Hmm? What? "

" Not yet.. I was waiting for you guys " she said and i gave her a small smile

" Is that so? Let's go then " i said and pulled her lightly

When we arrived at the dinning room we saw the three of them having a serious talk

But Regis spotted the two of us coming towards them

Regis immediately jumped from his seat and rushed towards us

" Saha–" Regis was cut off when Sahara hid behind me

" Don't approach her like that! " Lau said and kicked Regis butt

" You two, behave. Don't act like that infront of her " i said and hold Sahara's wrist gently

" Who do you want to sit with? " I asked

She saw Zyon and i staring at each other so i quickly turned my eyes on her.

" Regis or Lau? " i asked once again

" W-with brother Lau.. " she answered softly

" Ok, go and take a sit. Regis, just wait for her to open her heart to you and don't approach her recklessly or force her to do what she doesn't want to do. Alright? " i said when a saw him sulking because Sahara didn't choose to sat beside him

" Yes i know.. " he replied back

" Good. Now, let's eat " i said and sat beside Zyon who immediately smiled at me

" Morning babe " he greeted

" Morning, and im not your babe " i said but he chose to ignore my remark

" Whatever you say, babe. " he said and grinned mischievously

When we finished our dinner, i asked Sahara to go back to her room because we're about to talk something sensitive, and it may trigger her trauma

" Go back to your room, sweety. We'll just talk about something. Regis will follow you after we finish our talk so that you can also get to know your brother. Is that alright? "

" yes.. " she replied and slowly went back to her room

" You're good at this, Ash " Regis said pertaining on how i talk calmly infront of Sahara
