Manual of The Forbidden ➡ Irwin

Chapter 17.

"See you later." I told him.

I watched him getting into his apartment, when he did I turned to see Ashton still staring at me with his arms crossed.

"So you decided to take Sharon's advice?"

"What?" I inquired confused.

"Yes, about going on a date with someone!"

I burst into laughter.

"No!, I went out with my neighbour just to know him better," I pointed out opening the door for us, "it has nothing to do with Sharon's evil plans."

He laughed.

"So they're evil?, I'll tell her!, I will accuse you!" he teased me.

"It's useless, she already knows it," he sat on the couch, "You know she isn't coming until eight, right?"

"I know, I have nothing else to do and I thought it would be fun to wait for her here," he said while I was walking to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water.

"It is lovely to have you here," I thought, WAIT, WAIT, I didn't think that, I said it!!!.

"Oh, thank you, that's so nice of you," I thanked God that we weren't face to face because I swear every inch of me was blushed with a nice tomato red colour, "By the way, tomorrow we all are going out, remember?, you're going to meet my brother Luke," he commented unaware of the mess inside of me.

"Oh.. Yeah... I'm really excited!" I muttered.

And the time went on, we planned how tomorrow morning was going to be, and spending time with Ashton felt even better, he's got this power to amuse me, he can leave me speechless, or even guess what I'm thinking, and the little Shrew was dancing happily, unless until Sharon came home, so they would start to call each-other "love" and the little Shrew would start to get annoyed and wanting to leave them the hell alone.

(-_-*)

"Beast!!! Get up right now or I swear I'll beat the living lights out of you!!!" she always woke me with that kind of commentaries and noisy knocks on the door, but what I knew the most is that she wouldn't stop until seeing me up.

"I'm going!!!, just stop it right, you're causing me a headache!" I heard her laughter coming from the other side of the door.

I got up lazily from my very comfortable bed and opened the door and saw Sharon looking up for something in the fridge.

"Oh!, thank God you're finally up," she greeted me, "you have to wear something nice, something blue it'll match with his eyes"

"But, why?"

"If you want him to like you, you have to follow my instructions," she pointed at me with her index finger.

"But I don't want him to like me, I don't even know him!!"

She sighed.

"You're crazy woman," I told her bitterly.

"I know, but I love you because you love me like that," she laughed and I stuck my tongue out, "go get ready, they will be here in any minute."

"Okay, okay, just chill!" I ran to the bathroom to take a shower really amazed how hard Sharon was trying to set me up with Luke.

I picked a white shirt, just to defer with Sharon, my favourite ripped skinny jeans and some black Converse, I heard the doorbell ring and I knew who was outside the apartment, the Shew was singing everywhere Ashton's name.

I left my room, and next to Ashton was another guy I assumed he was Luke, he didn't look like Ashton at all, he was taller, his eyes were blue, his nose was the cutest thing ever, his blonde hair was stylished in a quiff, and I got to admit he looked fantastic in those ripped jeans, Nirvana singlet and his Vans.

They seemed to feel my presence so they turned to face me.

"Oh, Hello Dawn!" Ashton greeted me, "he's my brother, Luke."

He stretched out his hand for me to take it, and I took it but I wasn't the same.

"So know that you guys met, where do we go eating?" asked Sharon excited.

"Well I was thinking of this place..." Ashton's voice finally made presence and I got lost in it.

I wasn't really sure but I felt like I was divided in two one part focused on Luke and the other on Ashton, suddenly their conversation stopped and they looked at me "react! Say something!!" my brain yelled but it was too late.

"Dawn!" Sharon woke me from my daydream.

"What?" I said completely ashamed.

"We were asking you if you wanted to have pizza for breakfast."

"It sounds awesome!" I cheered, I mean who doesn't love pizza, I seriously think pizza and Nutella are the cure for every bad thing in life, I swear those things can end the war in Israel.

"Let's get going then," Luke said softly.

We left the apartment to find Ashton's Hybrid parked outside the building.

Ashton drove to a little pizza place where the smell of tomato sauce and cheese was the greatest I ever smelled and believe me I've eaten tons of pizza in my life.

"Let's order the typic, she's never eaten an Italian pizza."

"I think it is pretty obvious Sharon," I laughed quietly.

Shortly after we ordered the pizza came to us, the delicious smell even stronger now, it made my stomach go wild immediately.

I served myself two slices and it tasted like heaven and while I ate I talked to Luke who was sitting next to me, we talked a little bit about each-other, typical information you share when you just meet someone.

But when nobody looked I stared at Ashton, every move he made, every step he took, every word he said, just admiring every part of him.

He was perfect and he seemed to not even be aware of it.
