I'll Be The One

ACT 11

ACT 11

Katarina is wide awake. She finished dinner and had already taken a bath and throughout all those things, the thoughts of and about Ashe plagued her head.

Now, she found herself lying down on the center of her bed with Ashe's white iPhone on one of her bedside tables.

She had decided to rummage the school bag first, but as soon as she found Ashe's iPhone in one of the bag's pockets, her search had came to a soundless halt. Katarina took a glance at her digital clock on the other bedside table to see what it is.

10:45 p.m.

Riiing!

Katarina jumped and whipped her head to the bedside table where the iPhone is, eyes widening when she saw the device light up. She crawled closer to the bedside table and instantly recognized the familiar set of numbers on the screen. It's her mobile number.

'That means... Ashe is calling, using her own cellphone.'

Katarina grabbed the phone and answered it. She only realized that it was a video call when Ashe's face appeared on the screen.

"Katarina," Ashe greeted with a nod.

"Ashe, hey," Katarina greeted back, awkwardly waving a hand that Ashe didn't see.

"I assume my bag is with you?"

"Uh, yes, it is."

Ashe opened her mouth to say something when she suddenly yelped and dropped the phone on the bed.

"Umm... Ashe?"

"Voli, stop it! I'm talking to someone!" Katarina heard Ashe's voice, but the speaker was nowhere to be seen.

'Who the hell is Voli?'

Jealousy coursed through her and she had to hold back a snarl from escaping her. Katarina didn't know what she did, but she was suddenly rewarded with a bell-like laugh, which sounded from the speakers from of the iPhone.

Her jealousy disappeared in a flash.

"Voli!" Ashe called from the phone. "Stop it! I'm talking to Kata...-!"

Before Ashe could continue her scolding, another laugh flooded out of her lips, the tinkling sound echoing throughout Katarina's soundless room.

"That's it, I'm kicking you out for tonight!"

Katarina heard the shuffling of footsteps and the sound of a door being opened then closed. A few seconds passed before the phone was moved and picked up.

"I'm sorry about that," Ashe apologized, a half-smile still formed on her lips. "Volibear won't leave me alone."

Ashe held the gadget slightly farther from her and Katarina's eyes instantly caught the sight of her cleavage. She felt like she was holding back a nosebleed when she realized that Ashe was wearing nothing but some sort of robe.

"So, umm, who's Volibear?" Katarina asked, trying to keep her eyes focused into Ashe's own and doing her best to keep it from trailing down and back to Ashe's chest.

"Volibear's my dog."

"Oh."

Ashe quirked an eyebrow at Katarina. "Did you think he was my boyfriend?"

A light blush spread across Katarina's cheeks. "No! Not at all!"

Ashe couldn't stop herself from releasing yet another beautiful laugh. The blush on Katarina's cheeks lightened and she can't help but let her lips transform into a small smile.
