Forgotten

chapter 7

"Cuddles, I am dropping you to the boutique." Bryan says.

"No Bryan, I'll go myself." I reply and he just groans.

"Why don't you let me drop you?" He says and sighs loudly when I shake my head to tell him that he is not leaving me.

"I told you Bryan, I am good going myself." I say throwing my hand on his shoulder.

"Why don't yo-" "No! I told you, I'm going all by myself." I cut him off by poking my finger on his chest trying to push him away, but I fail miserably.

"Okay." He at last sighs and allows me to go myself.

He was not allowing me to go by myself to my boutique because there were a gang of roadies and anything could happen. Now look, I have been in this world for 16 years and I have seen roadies all over place.

"I still feel I should leave you." He sighs once again.

"Okay fine! You can leave me." I say getting irritated. He smiles evilly and says, "Great cuddles, let me get my bike." He jogs to his house and after I ready my make up, I sit on the porch.

After sometime, I hear the engine roaring in front of my gates. I run towards him and he hands me a head gear. I take it from him and wear it.

"Let's go cuddles!" He punches the air above him and swings his leg next to the other side of the bike and ready to go. I sit down behind him and clutch his shoulder worrying that I will be blown away by the wind.

We roar through the streets and at last reach my boutique. At some distance we saw a group of roadies looking at us. One of them, who looked really good- can't deny that- walks over to us. Bryan immediately tenses up and presses my hand harder. His fists are held so hard that his knuckles shone.

"Hey babes, where you upto?" He smiles coming closer. Bryan walks next to me and pulls me towards him by my waist.

"What do you want?" Bryan hisses at him and the guy just laughs. I could feel Bryan shake with anger. He leaves me and casually throws his closed fist on his mouth. The guy tumbles down and I could see blood oozing out of his lip. It takes a moment for me to register for what just happened. When the guy gets back up to punch Bryan back, Bryan easily defends him and the guy tumbles back once again.

"Get off! You are hurting him!" I say pulling Bryan back when the he tries to punch the guy back.

"Leave me Ashley!" He says trying to squirm from my hold but fails.

The guy starts laughing and takes the advantage of me holding Bryan in my arms and punches him in his gut. Bryan falls from my hold. I am furious for what he did and walk towards this guy.

"Hey you junky, get away! If you don't get lost from here in three seconds, then you will see me." I say loudly.

He touches me on my cheek which almost makes my burn with anger. "Aww, this little looney tune wants me to go away!" He glances to his friend who all whoop. As soon as his glance is coming back to me, I slap the daylights out of his face.

He tumbles for sometime and falls down on the road. I remove my heel from my foot and almost throw it at him until he flees and runs to his bike. All of them run behind him and go away. I smirk with vicrory and turn to Bryan who says that his stomach was hurting real bad. I run to him and check his tummy. He shouts when I reach that particular point where he was hit.

"It's a bruise. A bad one. Really, really bad one." He says.

"Come inside!" I say but he doesn't move. I try pulling him but that one never works.

Till then Rachael walks out of the boutique to stretch and she sees me trying to help Bryan.

"Ashley? What are you doing!" She asks me.

"I'm selling shoes. Wanna join?" I ask sarcastically. "Can't you see my boyfriend is hurt!" I say screaming at her. Stupidity.

"Oh sorry." She says and runs towards us. She helps me take Bryan to the boutique and make him sit on a chair.

"I have a cream to help that. It's not a bruise or anything, he was just hit painfully. Really, really painfully. The cream will help it cure." She says and removes a squeezy cream bottle.

"Use this." She says and throws it to me.

I take it and open his shirt good enough to apply it to his tummy. I see his well-shaped and toned body and apply the cream. He moves in pain and growls when I touch it and I slow down on my touch a bit.

After applying it on all most all his tummy, he starts to get up.

"Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?" I say holding his shoulders to keep him sitting.

"I should be going. It's time." He says and gets up again. I push him back to the chair and he hisses.

"Oh I'm sorry." I say. "But you are not going anywhere now. Stay here with me, we will go home together."

"Okay fine!" He mutters and rests his head on the back of the chair.

*****

I some how took him home and I have decided that he was gonna stay with me because the pain and the hurt had got worse and he couldn't move at all with that.

The hurt got better after a week's time and now he was perfectly back to normal.

"I told you, you shouldn't have gone alone. If it wasn't me there, what would have had happened to you?" He says hugging me from behind while I worked on the kitchen counter.

"Yes baby cakes! I thank you for that." I say smiling. He unexpectedly turns me around. He comes closer to me pulling me closer to his waist with my own waist. He cups his hand on my cheek.

"You are not the one who should say thank you cuddles. You saved me." He says, his lips merely 3mm away from mine.

"Okay. Welcome then." I say jokingly. He puts his finger under my chin, pulling me up to his lips.

"You wanna come upstairs?" He says, his warm breath making my knees go weak.

"No. I'm not ready still. I'm just sixteen." I say feeling really sad for him.

"No problem cuddles." He says and he kisses me gently. I kiss him back, my lips moving perfectly in sync with his.
