Their Secret

Mystic

My alarm rings waking me up from my reposeful sleep. I let out a series of agitated groans as I really don't want to wake up I spent half of the night awake. I hear Ashton chuckling.

"That house was perfect but you just had to..." he says pulling me close to him and kissing me.

"You are something else you know" I say facing him.

"Skip work" he says smirking.

"I have a meeting in two hours Ashton" I say running my hand through his messy hair. He starts smirking.

"Ashton don't tell me...no you have no idea...I needed that client...why did you cancel the meeting?"

"I sorted it out I postponed it to tomorrow" he says looking at me intently.

"What are you thinking of" I ask noticing Ashton's distant gaze.

"My child and Rita" he says shortly.

"What about them?" I ask running my index finger along his neck.

"They came here last night" he says immediately freezing me in my position.

"I thought you said they were de-"

"Dead. No they are in the other room" he says sitting up.

"So, do you guys want me to give you some space? I can le-"

"You are not going anywhere" he says curtly. I get up and take a shower after that I pick up the clothes that were strewn across the floor and place them in the laundry basket. I go downstairs to find Greyson stuffing his face with some pancakes.

"Morning" I say going into the kitchen and taking out some orange juice from the fridge.

"What a sad morning it is" he says sighing. I was going to ignore him but curiosity got the best of me.

"Why is it a sad morning?" I ask taking a sip of my juice.

"Well I honestly thought since you and Ashton slept at three in the morning I would have the pleasure of seeing you in that amazing outfit you had on when I first met you. I thought you would do that for me as an appreciation for keeping up with all those noises during the night, but I guess I was wrong" he says faking a pained expression. I feel my cheeks burning up.

"Joanne made you breakfast and besides it's our house you know, we can do whatever we want in it. So do you always hit on your brother's girlfriends?" I ask sitting next to him and taking a pancake from his plate which gets me a glare from him.

"Only the finest ones. Are you always hungry when you wake up or is it staying up late and doing things you shouldn't be doing in the in the middle of the night?" he asks looking at a plate that once had a pancake left.

"He is going to kill you and it's normal to wake up hungry if you didn't have dinner the night before" I say putting some bacon, eggs and pancakes on my plate. I really don't know what I would do without Joanne the magician that makes these wonder filled magic food.

"I wouldn't blame him. You are cool though, so can we at least be friends?" He asks extending his hand.

"Friends" I say shaking his hand and giving him a smile. He takes my bacon and I shoot daggers at him.

"What? You took my pancakes" he says smiling.

"You shouldn't play games with a hungry woman Greyson" I say glaring at him. As we are talking we see a woman in her late twenties sitting down across us wearing my pyjamas. She starts taking a plate and dishing up and ignoring us completely.

"You must be Rita," I say smiling, "I'm Alexendra and this is Greyson but I doubt you guys don't know each other."

"What are you doing in my fiancé's house? You know what I don't want to know you can leave now" she says looking at me. Greyson and I exchange quick looks and I get back to my eating.

"Didn't you hear me?" She asks rudely.

"You need to check yourself, I actually recommend that you get off that high pedestal you placed yourself on because you are going fall" I say indifferently and take a bite from my pancake. I mean who does she think she is? The woman is wearing my pyjamas and sitting in my house and she has the nerve to tell me to leave.

"Rita, umh she is Ashton's girlfriend you know" Greyson says seriously.

"So? He doesn't need her now that I am back" she says glaring at me.

"We see that you are back but what we want to know is did you decide to come back when you got evicted from your place or when you had no money left to feed your son" I retort.

"You don't know me" she says into my face.

"You don't know me either, see Rita I am not in the mood to fight with you so I recommend we treat each other with respect ok? I don't like being involved in petty fights so if you don't mind I would like to continue with my breakfast" I say eating the last piece of my pancake. Greyson looks at me surprised.

"Want to go to the movies?" I ask Greyson.

"You want to go to the movies with me?" He asks surprised.

"Yeah, you are my friend now right?" I ask amused by his reaction.

"Oh so you guys are going to the movies alone?" Ashton says his voice clearly laced with jealousy. He kisses me and sits down next to me.

"Yeah, don't worry though I won't make a move on her she is loyal to you bro" Greyson says standing up.

"And with that we are gone" I say dragging Greyson out. I really didn't want to go but I guess I owe it to Ashton's son to give them time to know each other even though he doesn't want me to leave.
