Revenge Plot

Chapter 12

"Let's get you home" Tristan says breaking the wonderful silence

"Yeah" I answer

"Come on" he says gesturing for me to follow him to the car

We leave the church and head towards the car. He quickly runs across to the passenger side and opens the door for me and I get in. He then closes it and runs across to his side.

"Thank you" I say to him

"I love you so much" he says to me

"I love you too" I say with a smile.

He starts the engine and we drove down the street to my house.

I leaned my head against his window and thought about everything that has happened, like how much effort he put in for my forgiveness.

"What are you thinking about?" He asks me, his eyes fixed on the road

"Just about how perfect tonight has been" I say

He laugh as he turns into my driveway. The car comes to a stop and he quickly walks around to open my door. I climb out the car and we walk towards my door.

"Thanks for tonight, I had so much fun" I tell him once we reach my doorstep

"Thank you for your forgiveness" he says staring at me

"Goodnight" I say as I reach for the handle of my front door

"Wait" he says

"Yeah" I reply

"Before you go, I want one last kiss" he says

Before I could say anything, he crashes his lips against mine in a soft, meaningful kiss. He pulls away and doesn't break eye contact.

"Sweet dreams Ash" he says before turning towards his car

I watch in complete silence as he drives through the empty streets.

I trace my finger across my lips. They were still lingering from the kiss. I smile at the thought of Tristan and I being back to normal.

I remove my hands from my lingering lips and open the door and head straight upstairs to my bedroom.

I change from my dress to a pair of sweatpants and a crop top.

I hop into bed and I allow my eyes to close allowing me to fall into a deep sleep. After a couple of hours of sleep, I was woken up by the sound of someone knocking on my door.

"Come in" I shout in my morning voice

The door slowly opens and I see my brother standing there, he pops his head inside and not once does he make eye contact with me.

"Ashley, mom wants you downstairs for breakfast" he says

He turns around and walks away. I quickly get up and follow him downstairs.

"Alex, could we talk?" I ask

He turns around and for a second our eyes connect before he turns his back towards me and walks away.

"Alex, please?" I plead

"Ashley" my mom yells from the kitchen

"We are not finished" I tell Alex before entering the kitchen and taking a seat at the dinner table.

We sat and ate breakfast in complete silence. Once in awhile I could see Alex glancing up
from his food to give me a quick look.
