Daddy Ash [ a.f.i ]

chapter six

Ashton's POV

I wake up to a pounding headache and a naked chick lying next to me.

Fuck, what happened.

Well it's clear what happened, but really Ashton come on. You can do better than that. She's a classic slut, too much makeup, slutty clothes, and overly dyed blonde hair. (not to offend blondes)

I get up and throw a blanket over her, I guess I'll be nice to cover her.

I put on some clothes and walk out of my room and to the kitchen.

"Morning. How'd that one night stand go?" Luke asks

"Shut the fuck up."

"Okay? Asshole." he says

I grab the pain relievers and take as many as I can without killing myself. This headache has got to go, now.

The blonde walks out minutes later and waves goodbye as she exits the apartment.

"Wow she really knows the routine." Luke states

"What do you expect? She's a slut from the club." I say bluntly.

Luke rolls his eyes and texts away on his phone. He hasn't touched that thing in days and plus he only texts non stop of its a girl.

"Who are you texting?" I ask curiously

"Oh just a girl. No one you know."

"Well what's her name?"

"Um.. Lily." he hesitates to answer, that's not "Lily".

"Seriously, who is she?"

"Jade. We are just friends though. Don't flip your shit."

I feel jealousy consume my mind and body when he says he's talking to her. I haven't heard from her in days!!

"How the fuck did you get her number."

"Your phone." he says truthfully.

"What the fuck man?? You know how I feel about her and now you're pushing me away from her so you can have her?? I THINK NOT." I yell at him.

Luke was cowering down before me as I lost my temper with him. The poor kid looked like he was going to shit himself, but what he's doing isn't okay.

I stormed off and grabbed my phone. I scroll through until I find her name, princess.

Calling princess..

I press the phone to my ear and wait as the annoying ring drummed in my ear. The echoing noise came to a halt when I heard a fragile voice on the other end.

"Hello?"

"Jade?" my voice shook.

"Hi Ashton.." she trails off

"I've missed you."

"Can't tell." she says bitterly as if I'm lying.

"What?"

"Luke sent me a pic of you and some girl last night. If you really missed me you would have been on my door step not boning a slut." she snapped at me.

I close my eyes and shook my head as she tells me this. Why did he do that? What the fuck Luke?

"I-I'm, I'm sorry Jade.." I whisper into the phone, I did have sex with someone last night, I can't deny it. I was wrong, but so is Luke.

"Whatever, I've heard that before. Sorry doesn't mean shit anymore." Then the line goes flat.

She hung up on me.

I grab a jacket and my car keys as I rush out of the door. I jump in my car and roar out of the parking lot and down the street.

After 5 minutes of driving I arrive at Jade's apartment complex. I hop out and sprint up stairs to her front door.

I bang on the door, knowing she's home. Seconds later the door slowly opens and her face is revealed. Tear stained cheeks and puffy red eyes.

"Jade.." I start to say when she slams the door in my face.

I knock again.

"Jade please let me in." I beg, I hear her softly cry on the other side.

"Okay.. I guess I'll just sit out here in the cold and wait.." I say through the door.

I sit on the ground with my back against the door, the cold cement presses against my legs as I pull my hood on.

"Why are you here?" her muffled voice comes through the door.

"To explain."

She falls silent once again. I continue to wait when I hear the locks turn and move off the door so I don't fall backwards.

Jade stands quietly through the crack as she looks down at me.

"Come inside. It's cold out there." she says

I get up and push the door wider to allow myself inside. I close the door and lock it behind us, out of curtesy.

Jade walks over and sits on one side of the couch as I sit on the other.

"Well." she says

"Um, firstly I'm sorry."

"Apology pending." she says bluntly.

"Okay..um, also Luke kind of set me up." I say

"How so? You're the one who picked up that skank." she spits

"I wouldn't have if he wouldn't have urged me to forget about you because you hadn't called me since the day I-I..I punished you."

She sits quietly, absorbing every detail.

"Okay that still doesn't explain the whore."

"He took your number from my phone and pushed me to sleep with someone else or find someone else, whatever, so that he could have you to himself."

She nods and gets up to go to the kitchen. She returns with a coffee mug, full of hot coco. She takes a sip and looks at me.

"Luke won't ever appreciate your beauty the way I do."

"Why is that?"

"Because he simply sees you as a young girl. Not a princess like I do."

She focuses on the hot liquid in her cup, keeping quiet.

"I can make you happy. I know I can." I say, my voice shakey due to being nervous.

"Apology accepted, but I need time Ashton." she says as she looks me deep in my eyes with her dark green orbs.

"Whatever it takes. I'm willing to wait and take it slow."

Wow that's something I've never thought about before.

I get up to leave, but first I walk to her end of the couch and kiss the top of her head.

"Goodbye Jade." I say softly as I turn on my heels and make my way to the door.

"Make sure you lock the door when I leave." I say, sounding like a parent.

She nods and I open the door, the chilling night air hitting me in the face.

"Goodnight Ashton." she says before I shut the door completely.

I shoot her a smile and shut the door quietly.
