His Smile

CHAPTER 66

People who bore one another should meet seldom. People who interest one another, often.

Ashley's POV

It went well than I anticipated, now everything's settled, Grayson and Devi are now acquaintances who look like they'd be really good friends in the near future. Right now, we're on our way to my house, Grayson and I.

"Thanks." I say to him.

He turns to looks at me with a why are you thanking me? lifted brow.

"For making peace with him." I smile.

He gives a mild shrug as he stares me dead in the eye and mutters, "That was the right thing to do."

I nod my head, "Right."

"Yeah." He deadpans and returns his attention towards the road before us.

After some time...

"Have you...?" I say whilst he says at the same time, "I'm expecting..."

"Go first." We say simultaneously. We look at each other and laugh.

"You go." I encourage.

He gives a light smile, his blue eyes brightening up, "I spoke to my dad and he's assured me my mum's going to be around today."

"That's... great." I grin.

"Do you want to join me?" He asks and I nearly choke on saliva.

What?!

"Uhm, isn't that like personal stuff?"

He places his hands on mine and with soft eyes, ask, "What if I want you to be there, would it be me asking for too much?"

"I'd love to but you have to do it alone, it's your personal boundary, I don't want cross my limit."

"What if I want you to?" He pursues, not backing down.

"Gray!"I scowl, he was really putting me in a really difficult situation right now and with the way he's staring intently at me it'd be hard to say no.

He sighs, "If we were together and I asked you for this favor, would you have agreed?"

Gosh, when did he become this person.

"You can ask me again when we're together."

"Soon." He says it like it was a promise.

I look out of the window, a tiny weeny smile on my lips.

-

Omg! I'm hyperventilating right now. Just before I put my phone aside I received a message from Gray.

The message said, "Finally spoke to my mom, I listened to her own side of the story."

I'm certain as heck that he'd be expecting us being together since now he's fulfilled my conditions for us to be together. What am I gonna do? How to reply to his text?

Be like, "Hey, I'm your girlfriend again."

Or "We're together again finally."

Totally awkward!

"Great." My fingers type away and press send before I register what I'm doing.

I'm a such a sucker and a party pooper, ain't I? How the heck did this guy end up with me?

"So..." His reply comes immediately.

Ashley pleeeaase don't act dumb.

Hey if I do, it won't hurt right? "So?" I text back.
