Static Sounds

(chpt 2 ) ashton?

That day, I remember that day, it meant nothing to me.Just another New Yorker trying to walk on this crowded sidewalk to work in the morning.He bumped into me,and then he looked down.Weird. I stared confused at this curly head of hair, that I could barely see, it was covered in a fedora type hat. Well are you going to say sorry i think to myself. He looked up and his eyes widened when they met mine. I was still so confused, and waiting to go.

"S..sorry" he stammered.His cheeks blushing deeply.

"Its fine" I smiled warmly.

"No its not, it's my fault, are you sure you're ok?"

"No really it was mine I shouldn't be attached to this damn phone" I laughed dryly and put my phone away.

"I'm fine, really,thank you, have a good day." I smiled.

I started to walk away when I forgot something, I turned around.

"I'm sorry I never caught your name" I smiled a small smile.

"A...ashton" there he goes again, blushing. Somethings up with this boy. I swear.

I smiled and walked away, thinking that i would never see this boy again.

I never told him mine.Great job bells, he was cute too.

I'm late now, fabulous. First day back from a vacation and i'm already late. Not really a vacation, If you count sitting on your couch with food and netflixall day, then go ahead.

I rush to the office. Just two more blocks, oh look a starbucks. DAMN IT BELL get your head out from your ass, lets go.

Finally I reach the glass doors of Irwin Publishing. I take the stairs instead of the elevator, it takes too long, i'm already running late. Taking 15 flights of stairs won't kill you bells. But i'm in heels damn it bella. I slip off my heels and run for the stairs, I make it finally, out of breathe, but i'm here. I slip my heels back on, I stop by the break room for a mug of coffee. I make my way back to my office. Man have i missed my office. Most people hate going to work, but I love it. Its where I get to write my heart out about things that I want to do, not things that I'm forced to do and have no intresting in.I have been working for Irwin Publishing for little over a year, and I have loved every bit of it.

I drop my things off in my office, my office,MY office. I have just recently been giving my own office. I had to work in a cubicle, it wasn't bad, but I like having privacy, ya know? My office is all white.Everything is white, my desk, my chair, the book shelves, everything. Its very pure, bright, happy, and clean. I like it all like this,happy, dark things make me think of my unhappy place, the dark place in my life, was after I was 10 years old.

"Mr. Irwin" I squeak.

"Ah Bella, you're back!" he encloses me in a tight, short hug.

"Hi,I wanted to apologize for being late this morning,the sidewalk was very busy" I chuckled.

"Bella, dear you were only like 5 minutes late, you haven't missed anything, you're fine. But check your mail box I have some assignments for you, i'm sure you will enjoy these." he smiles.

"Thank you Mr.Irwin." I smile and walk away to go get my assignments.

I'm pretty excited to start work again. I'm not a workaholic, I don't work extra hours at all, I like my free time and to be myself after work. But I do love my job. A lot.

I grab my assignments, there are only 3. Thats awesome, they will be done by tomorrow.

I just started to work when there is a knock at my door.

"Come in!" I yell.

The door opens, and Mr.Irwin is at the door.

"Hi!"

"Hi Bella, I have someone I'd like you to meet."

I'm confused but I go along.

"Ok" I dust myself off and make myself presentable before I give Mr.Irwin a nod. He steps aside.

They person's eyes widen. I've seen this guy before. ON THE SIDEWALK!

"Ashton?" I ask.

"Oh you have you two met?" asks Mr.Irwin.

"Oh, very briefly on the sidewalk on my way here." I carefully say.

"Oh, well this is my son Ashton,Ashton, this is Bella." He introduces with a warm smile.

Son?

"Hi, Bella, you have a beautiful name." He squeaks, and his cheeks blush.Again with this damn blushing.

I'm blushing too now. "Thanks Ashton."

"Your welcome" Ashton giggles.

A giggle? A boy giggling?

My god was he attractive, the dimples, his hair, those eyes, his giggles.

"Well I have a lot of work to do, so talk later?"

"Uh, actually Bella, he's going to be working with you for a bit, if that's fine." Mr.Irwin informs.

"Oh ok, thats fine. I guess, um i'll try to find you a desk and a chair somewhere" I walk over to my phone to call the front desk lady, to make arrangements.

"Very well, have fun, don't be too harsh Bella, its his first day." He laughs, I laugh along.We all know i'm not a harsh person.Well expect Ashton he looks terrified. Poor boy.

"Hope you're don't mind having your new desk furniture being white." I chuckle. It's pretty obvious that it would, but just to make sure.

"It'll be fine,thank you Ms..?"

"Willison, but just call me Bella, or Bell" I give him my warmest smile. He blushes again. He's got to get that checked out or something.

"And don't worry, i'm not going to bite,or be harsh. Come. Come sit."I lead him to the chairs in front of my desk.

"So tell me about yourself Ashton Irwin , The bosses son aye?"
