The watch

Chapter 6: Let me blow ya mind

I awoke wrapped in Lyle's arms. It was barely morning and yet Lyle was up, stroking circles onto my waist. Why is he up so early? He kissed my neck, slowly, softly. "Good morning," he said. I mumbled a greeting back to him. He pulled me onto his lap and I laid on him. His hands tangled themselves in my hair, pulling slightly.

I sighed softly. This was how I wanted to wake up ever morning. Lyle let his hand drift down my back, causing shovers to run through me. I had to take deep breaths, to calm myself and keep me from doing certain things. I blushed as Lyle bit my neck softly. "What are you doing?" I asked with a giggle. "You taste delicious," he said and kissed that spot. I pulled away. "Maybe later."

I made to get off of him, but he held me there. "Lyle." I rolled my eyes. But he didn't release me at all. In fact, he pulled me closer to him. I felt his hand slide around my hip to my jeans. He watched me as he slowly undid the button. I closed my eyes shut as my body betrayed me. I stopped pulling against him, and let him hold me on him. I pressed my lips to his slowly. Lyle had me pressed to his hard body, and soon my lips were swollen and red.

"I wonder if other parts of you are as sweet." I blushed and rolled my eyes. "Seriously?" He chuckled, and wrapped his arms around me once more. I quickly buttoned my jeans and laid down on Lyle once more. He brushed his fingers through my hair and I sighed. If only I would stay like this forever. . . And I would've, if someone didn't knock on the door angrily.

Lyle and I both groaned. I rolled off of him and onto the floor (I'm incredibly lazy) and he chuckled. "You can't ever get off the bed like a normal person," he drawled, raising his eyebrow. "No," I said, sitting up. He extended a hand to help me up. I took it and he pulled me up. The person banged on the door again. "Hold on!" I snapped, even though they couldn't hear me.

I opened the door to a very red faced Anastasia.

Uh oh.

She opened her mouth and raised her hand, and I flinched. Lyle walked behind me. "Hello, Anastasia." He said and Anastasia lowered her hand. "Hello." Her tone was clipped. "If you don't mind I would like to speak with Ashley for a second." I blanched. My usually caramel skin was bloodless. But I nodded (what the hell was wrong with me?), despite the fact that she was glaring daggers at me.

I said,"um, sure we can talk." She smiled sweetly and gripped my arm a bit too tight. "We'll be back in a jiffy!" She said brightly to Lyle. I turned to wave good bye at him. He was frowning at Anastasia, as if he knew something that I didn't. But when he caught my eye, he smiled. I didn't return it. I only let Anastasia lead me to her car. I took in deep breaths, as Anastasia turned to me. "How are you not dead?" Even though we were far away enough that Lyle wouldn't hear us if we talked in normal voices, she still whispered the words.

I kept my face blank as I said,"Lyle saved me." She balled her hands together in fists. "That wasn't supposed to happen. You were supposed to die, not Stacy!" She stomped her foot in anger and her heel snapped. I flinched again. She leaned in close to me. "You'll be dead before the shop opens back up. I'll make sure of it." I backed up against her car as she raised her hand again. She dragged a nail down my arm as tears flooded my eyes. "Aw, don't cry." She said in a saccharine voice. "I'm only going to kill you." My tears fell down my cheeks and she turned cold again.

"Stay away from Jason. Quit your job, do whatever you can,  but stay away from him." I nodded. Anastasia smiled again. "Thank you," was all she said. She left in her car and sped off. I wiped away my tears and turned only to crash into Lyle. "What happened?" He said. "Nothing," I said and tried to go around him. But his finger flicked a stray tear that fell from my eye. "Are you crying?" "No, its allergies." I lied quickly. "Once again, I've known you your entire life, Ashley." "Nothing happened, Lyle." I said, looking down. I hugged myself. "Anastasia was just mad at me for something I did wrong." I bit my lip and walked around him.

I did feel bad for lying to Lyle (ha, ha, no? okay.), but I didn't want him to know that Anastasia was the one who tried to burn me. And Kirsten. That would just cause a whole lot of stress and I did not need that right now, believe me- Lying won't do you any better, a voice said and I squeaked. "Oh its just you." I said, looking at my watch. Yes, its me. And I'm telling you to tell Lyle the truth, or that mess you're imagining will become even worse. Take it from me, I won't told a lie and let it grow and fester-

"You're a watch. Who would you even tell?" I asked. I'm a talking watch. So there are lots of people I could lie to. Including Stacy. "Don't you dare bring her up-" "I stopped when I heard footsteps and quickly his my hand behind my back. Lyle came into view. " Who're you talking to?" He asked, walking to the fridge. "Uh, myself. I'm practicing for a speech I have to give to Jason." I really should stop lying. Lyle raised an eyebrow at me.

Then he smiled and ruffled my hair. "You really are weird, you know that?" He chuckled. "Hey, you agreed to all this weirdness when you said 'I do'." He laughed out loud and I blushed. Another lie. The watch said. I froze, waiting for Lyle to notice the creepy voice. I stared at him. He stared back at me. "What?" He said. "Nothing," I said. "You wouldn't have happened to hear another voice right?" I gav him an obviously fake smile. "No." He said. He can't hear you, the watch said in a bored voice. I'm in your head. I sighed and looked away from Lyle's gaze

"Well, this is awkward. Um, I will go. . . be on my phone." My cheeks burned as Lyle walked to me. He pressed me to him and brushed his lips against my ear. "You're too adorable." His lips brushed my neck and he gently bit me. I looked down at the floor. My face was on fire. Hmm, his intentions for you seem a bit weird. The watch said. 'Oh really,' I thought back. Yes. He wants to mate with you and have offsprin-

I cut out the voice of the watch entirely. What? I'm just stating what he wants to do to you. Are you sure you want to do that? I gulped. Was I?

Heeeeyyy everybody. How's life? Good, good?

Well mine still sucks.

Yeah, so um the reason I chose this song is because, Anastasia coming here to Ashley's house and startling. I also love this song too.

I wonder if Anastasia would ever try to kill Ashley herself, since burning her didn't work. Or if Kirsten will do it.

Oh but that watch. What exactly is it made out of? And want is it?? So many questions!!!😣😵!

I'll let you guys ponder over that.

That's all my peeps. Have a nice day! Bye😘!
