― UNKNOWN NUMBER! (IRWIN)

8

(This is Nikki's POV btw)

Jason had interrupted my call with Ashton. According to him, it had been a half day at work. That just translated to I got mad and left. Then he asked me who I was talking to. Knowing I'd be a bloody mess lying on the floor if I said Ashton, I told him my mother. After that he told me to hurry the fuck up and make dinner.

To say I was pissed was an understatement.

I made dinner quickly and we ate in silence. When he was done, he got up and left, claiming he had to meet up with a friend.

That translated to I'm going to get drunk off my ass with one of my buddies.

As soon as he left I went to call Ashton. I mean I had promised him I'd call him later.

"Hi Ashton, I hope I didn't wake you I'm still iffy on the time zone thing,"

Even though his voice sounded groggy, he pretended it didn't.

"No, no I was awake. I was just waiting for your call,"

"Ok sure Ash,"

"I like that,"

"Like what?"

"You calling me Ash,"

"Ugh I'm blushing so hard, fuck you,"

"You love me don't deny it,"

"Ok you're right I lo-"

Ashton

The line went dead, but not before I heard a door slam and a scream.
