Chapter7

“Honey? Are you up already?” my mom asked gently.

“Yes mom.” I answered weakly.

“Did Nick bring me home? What time is it?” I continued.

“It’s past 9 darling. And yes Nick brought you home. What happened honey? Nick told me you cried and eventually got tired and fell asleep.” She asked concerned.

“I’ve let him go mom. I’ve let Jimmy go.” I mumbled before I could stop myself. Tears threatening to fall again, but I was able to hold it in for the sake of mom.

“Oh honey!” my mom exclaimed while enveloping me into a tight embrace, planting kisses on my forehead and cheeks. Lastly she planted a kiss on my nose which she usually do when she’s proud of me. She held my face and looked at me straight in the eyes. I can see that she’s so proud of me. Tears are threatening to fall from her eyes, but like me she wiped it away. Then she shook her head trying to shake the tears away and I guess trying to get back to the real situation. She held my hands.

“Anyways, someone’s waiting up for you downstairs honey.” She stated with a meaningful smile and teasing eyes.

“Who?” I asked curious. I hope it’s not Nick. I’ve already cost him so much trouble, he couldn’t possibly wait up for me anymore.

“You better clean up and change.” She said rubbing my back then kissing my forehead, but obviously not answering my question.

“Okay.” I said while watching her leave my room. I stayed in my bed for 5 full minutes. Thinking of what happened earlier. How Nick comforted me, how he held me in his arms, how he hummed and sang me to sleep. How I fell asleep in his arms. I was day dreaming. I shook my head to the real world. Stood up and went to hit the shower. Then I changed into my favorite faded jeans and a loose faded blue v-neck shirt. I made my way downstairs expecting to see Nick. I immediately proceed to the living room.

“Hey, you need not to wait. I’m alright, and I’ve already caused you so much…” I stated while looking up but I got cut off when I saw it wasn’t Nick.

“Oh, hey!” I babbled immediately surprised to find him in my living room in this hour of the night.

“Sterling.” I continued trying to act normal and not surprised.

“Hey, Ashley! You seemed surprised. Do you expect someone else?” he stated, obviously not fooled with my act-normal act.

“I can always come back tomorrow.” He continued, confusion and disappointment painted on his face. He’s not good in keeping his emotions too, I guessed.

“”Oh, no, no, no, no! Ofcourse not. I just thought…” I trailed then changed my mind.

“…nothing just don’t mind that. So what brought you here?” I asked trying to hide my own disappointment and showing that I also am happy to see him. Ofcourse I’m happy to see him, it’s just, you know what I mean.

“Uhmm, yeah about that. After the rain stopped I saw… I saw Nick come out of the booth carrying you. I didn’t get the chance to check what happened since Ashea badly needed me to attend to the guests, you know, I’m her bestfriend. So I got worried and called Nick to check if you’re okay, why you fainted.  Then he told me you just got tired and slept, he didn’t give me details, making me think it must be something personal between you two. So he gave me your address and told me to check myself. I hope it’s okay.” He stated kind of nervous and just like stated what came up to his mind.
