...Just The Way You Are... [COMPLETED]

IX

~Ashleys P. O. V. ~

"ugh!" I hear him say and slam the hallway doors close. "Very funny Ashley. This Apartment is only so big. Don't thing I'm not gonna find you." he says. This hide and seek game is not going to end well. I should have ran when he went to fetch Maxs' luggage. I always think of these things to late.

Why did I read that planner? Why did I clean his study? Why? Why? Why?
I know it is not about me reading the planner. I was in this from the beginning, from the very start. I sit here in the guest bedroom closet. Keeping my breathing constant trying not to think of what my future holds. More like what Gabe has in store for me. Thinking of all the good times, all the good times we spend together.

~Flashback ~

We where strolling in the park. The biggest park I have been in, in years. The big Apple located in New York. We walk hand in hand our fingers intertwined.

The dappled shade over his amazing face. His smile, his eyes. His hot features. The way his facial hair was shaven made him look a couple of years wiser. I had butterflies.

~End of flashback~

"Come out, come out where ever you are." he says in a childish voice. He is really making this a hide and seek situation. I'm sure he locked the apartment door after his sister left.

~Flashback~

He did not want me to meet his family but I insisted. He only had that one sister and a older brother. His parents passed away. They were all left with a fortune devided by three.

Max invested her money and now lives on the rent made by the money. Devin opened a little business and is a successful business owner.
Gabe on the other hand did not tell me much.

We got plane tickets to go to New York where both Max and Devin lived.

They are humble people, open armed and amazing hosts. They lived in the same neighborhood but different apartment buildings. Max has good taste and has an old soul. Her apartment consisted of all vintage and old objects from the couch to the kettle. Old and still usable. Pictures of cows and framed keys filled the walls.
The only modern thing in the apartment is the TV and wifi.

Devin is the complete opposite. His apartment is filled with computers and the latest tech.
"Augment Reality was used for most of the things inside" Devin told me as he gave Gabe and me a tour of his apartment called home. "Wait till you see the outside." he said handing me a Iphone. Giving him a confused look he turned on his heels and moved to exit the apartment. Gabe and I followed him outside. "hold up the phone, angle it to the second and third floor." he instruct us. We did as told unlocking the phone given to me. Just pointing to the building. "oh my gosh! That is so amazing." On the screen there is dinosaurs roaming in his apartment area.  Trees can be seen.

He explained how he made it work on this big scale. Not that I remember much.

~End of flashback~

Meeting his family was amazing. We only went for 3 days.

"Ashley I don't like playing this game. Just come out." Gabe interrupts my thoughts.

No not going to do that. I think to myself. Why am I having all these flashbacks. Is this where my life flashes before my eyes? Is this the part where I give up and go out? Is this where Gabe plans my future?

~Flashback~

"We will create a future together." A perfect stranger said to me. I did not know what our future would hold for us. But I know I wanted to create a future with this man.

"I think that is the most perfect thing that I would be happy to do with you." I said taking his hand in mine.  As the sun went down I kissed his plump lips for the first time.

~End of flahback~

A scream leaves my mouth. Jumping out of the storage space.

As I walk to where I heard the loud noise, I can hear a girls harsh breathing. A soft panting like trying to do something with effort.
Peeking through the door I see Max dragging Gabes unconscious body across the floor boards. Standing in silence I watch as this thin jet strong woman drag a 110kg body to the exit of the apartment.

She soon gives in and look around the room. She spots me peeking from the corner. "Can you please help me lift him?" Max asks me as if it is a daily question used.
I tilt my head to the side in confusion. "Take his one leg and pull him to the front door." she demands pulling out a small hand gun. I oblige and move my feet one by one. Grabbing one of Gabes' legs Max grabs the other and we start to move to the front door.

Her car is parked close by. We pick Gabe's  body up and carry him to the back of her car.
