Ashley POV
I paced around my driver's room thinking about Steven. Who was he and why is he doing this? Should I be worried about it? Of course, I have to be worried. I have a stalker. Who also happens to be a rapist. I wanted to tell my friend. But it would make them more worried.
My mind kept thinking of the worst possible scenarios. It kind of made me scarier that he was there inside my room. I should tell someone. This could end badly. I could think about only one person. I called him.
The call rang a second and he picked it up. "Ash..aren't you supposed to be asleep?"
"I do. I just...wanted to talk to you" I said.
"Are you alright? Is anything wrong?" he asked in a concerned voice. I stayed a bit silent. I can tell him everything. He is in the police force.
"No. No. Nothing's wrong. Just. Can I visit you? Before Jeddah?" I asked.
"Of course you can Ash. What is up with asking permissions?" He said. I gave a short laugh. "I know. It's just I missed you a little more tonight" I said.
"Are you alright Ash?" He asked again in a very concerned voice. "Yeah, I am fine. Don't worry. Tell Sam and Chloe I said 'Hi'"
"Sure"
"Bye"
"Good night Ash". I should tell my brother. He's in the police. He'll know how to handle it. I walked outside my driver's room. I had to take a walk to get my mind off.
I roamed around the paddock. "I'll talk to Matt. And then I could relax" my mind thought. I took the route behind the paddock as the front would usually have people around.
The warm air hit me. Then I heard a camera click. I gave a restless huff to see where it came from and there he was again.
Goosebumps spread over my body in fear. I tried to confront him but only fear came about. Something made me more scared about him.
"Hi" walked towards me and I immediately took two steps back. "Did you like my present?" he asked again.
"Where-..how did you get it?" I asked softly not making a lot of sound. "Your cupboard. Of course. I should say. You have a very beautiful house"
"Oh my god" I whispered.
"And your room. Your bed" He was now near me. He whisked near my ear and a shiver went through my body.
"And this smell. This smell of yours" he said closing his eyes. I moved back when he got hold of me.
"Where do you think you are going?" he said. "I...I"
"Here," he said and handed me a few Polaroids from his pockets. It was more photos of mine. Everywhere I had been. Even from Lewis's party which was only for the closed circle.
"Do you like those? My pictures of you" he asked. "You...you should stop doing this," I said.
"I try. But you. You make me not to. So much control" he said. "I should go-"
He pulled me harshly and pinned me to a wall. My breathing became erratic. "Where do you think you are going? Don't you love these? Don't you see how important to me?" he said.
"Please. I... I have to go" I pleaded. "Wher? To those cheating bastard driver friends of yours. They are only friends with you because you are the first woman in the sport. They don't know your true value. But me...I will take care of you" he said,
"Please" I pleaded more. My phone started ringing which distracted him a bit. I thought this was the chance so that I could run away. As I tried to move, his grip went to my neck.
