Little Hate (M. Clifford Smut FF)

Chapter 18

"He's faking it .." I state opening Ashton's door.
"Hello to you too. and faking what?"
"Sorry. Hey Ash" I hug him hello and continue talking.
"Well everything ... I don't even think he lost his memory." I enter in his hoise and he's giving me his confused look.
"What are you talking about? Why are you even saying this?" he asks.

"I don't know ... last night he thought I was sleeping but I was pretending to sleep because he caught me in his room and I didn't feel lile embarrassing myself coming up with excuses of why I am in his room... anyways .. Instead of barking his way at me, he just carried me to my room, covering me up and slowly closing my door. The Michael before everything would've shout at me to get the hell out of his room, or at least wake me up to make me go in ma room ...he wouldn't have carried me himself." I state still thinking about Michael's actions.

"What were you doing in his room? " Ashton asks still confused.
"Really?" I laugh asking.
"I don't know Y/n... I don't want to ruin your hopes, but maybe you don't actually know him as you think you do... maybe he really would've carried you to your room. Maybe he's really not faking it." Ashton says and I simply can't believe that.

"So in the morning he throws my pancakes, his favorite breakfast, and screams at me, and then he just happens to sweetly carrie me to my room ..because that makes sense." I point the obvious.
"He thought you were sleeping."
"Exactly." I say in a high pitched tone.
"Yeah ..he thought you were sleeping that's why he carried you to your room. He didn't think you'd know it was him. He likes you. It's that simple."

"No ...it's not. it would've been simpler if he stopped pretending to not remember me." I whine.
"I still don't think he's pretending. I mean if he is, it's clearly that he still has feelings for you... so if he thought you were sleeping, wouldn't he like ..uhmm sleeping next to you, instead of carring you to your room?" Ashton asks and now it sort of makes sense. But he couldn't possibly .. does he? Does he like me?

"I don't know..." I sigh now even more confused.
"I know you want to believe that he's faking it, but trust me, a guy who comes to you, saying he doesn't give a fuck about what the world thinks of you two, well he would not fake it for anything in the world... I'm just saying..." he gives me one of his worried looks and I sigh again.

"I hate when you're right." I smile and roll my eyes a little.
"I know you do. But I also have an amazing idea. I'm having a party tonight. You can bring your lover and get him drunk. . In case he's faking it ..well let's just say alcohol makes people say the truth ...and you'll know for sure." He smirks and wiggles his brows.

"What if he doesn't want to come?" I ask nervous.
"Then he's clearly faking it." I furrow my brows at Ashton's state. "A guy like him wouldn't refuse a party..." he explains.
"You don't know him..." I state.
"No guy ever refused free drinks and lots of girls, only if he knows beer will make him lose his game point and girls are unnecessary, considering he's into you.. so if he doesn't come you'll know." Ash now amazes me. He's ideas are genius.

"So if he comes he's not faking it? and he really forgot me?" I ask.
"I don't know. If he comes, you'll have to figure that out on your own." Ashton says and I nod. Great.. now I feel so weird making tests on Michael. wow, I mever thought Ashton would help me through so much with this Michael thing.

"Hold on.. if I didn't come here today ..would've I been still invited? " I ask curious and I see him chuckle.
"Of course you goof. You're my best friend." he smiles and I am surprised by his words.
"I like how that sounds. Best friends... who thought?" I ask rhetorically and Ashton just smiles shaking his head.
"ok. Off you go now. I have a party to throw and you have your mission. See you in 9 hours?" he asks looking at his watch.
"Haha, yeah ..ok. Bye bff" I tease him smiling.
"Funny you. Bye goofie" He basically closes the door in my nose. if he wasn't so cute I would be angry right now.
