After work, I drive home in the silence I'm used to hearing after work or when I'm at my house.
I hate sleeping alone or being alone in that case. I just wish someone was with me or stayed with me so I wouldn't feel lonely all the time.
Once I park my car, I grab my bags from my passenger seat and walk up to my front door, unlocking it before dropping my bags by the door and walking into the kitchen.
I decide to make some French toast because I've been craving that all day.
"Erin,"
"Fuck," I mumble, dropping the plate in my hand.
"Sorry," Ashton apologizes.
"Yeah," I scoff. "How did you get in my fucking house?"
"Back door was unlocked. You should maybe start locking it or people are gonna start robbing your house,"
"Yeah, especially people like you," I pick up the broken plate, throwing the pieces in the trash can.
"Want me to get a vacuum?" He asks.
"You don't know where it is-"
"Where is your vacuum, Erin?"
"In the tiny closet down that hall," I sigh, leaning against the granite counter.
Ashton soon comes back with my vacuum, cleaning up the tiny parts of the plate so I don't step on it and cut myself.
"Thanks, Ashton," I smile, getting out a new plate and putting my French toast on it, grabbing a fork out of my drawer.
"What brings you here?" I ask, putting a piece of toast in my mouth.
"You said something yesterday that brought me here," he mutters.
"And what was that?" I question.
"You said how you don't like sleeping alone or staying at your house by yourself, so I wanted to hang with you," he smiles, biting his lip as he looks at me.
"I'm fine, Ashton," I say, putting my plate in my kitchen sink, sitting back down across from Ashton at the table. "I don't need someone to stay with me every second of the day, I have work and other priorities, I don't need anyone to make sure I'm okay being by myself."
"I get that, Erin, but I wanted to make sure you were okay. Some people aren't emotionally okay being alone."
"I just got back from work, Ash, I'm fine, Jesus!" I stress, running my hands though my hair,
"I'm not talking about me, Erin,"
"Than who are you talking about?" I roll my eyes.
"Luke,"
