Chapter 8 - Cleaning

Ash's POV

I was already sitting in my car driving to Serena's place. Since she lives with Miette and I've been at hers plenty of times when we were dating, I knew the address. I'm definitely looking forward to flirt with Serena again. Her reaction at the main gate today was hilarious, but, I need to admit, pretty cute as well. I don't even know why I did it, closing the distance between us and, to be honest, secretly wanting to do more. I'm not a touchy-feely dude, but I just wanted to. I just did. Not like I'm in love with her, that isn't possible, is it? I knew her for like, what, 4-5 days? But thinking about it, kissing her doesn't even sound ba-

Dear god, what am I thinking?

Why am I even thinking like this. I've made out with plenty of girls, even though I'm not proud of it.

I smiled at the little voice in my head answering: 'cuz she's different

She is. She is special. I've never met someone like her. Who cares if a girl can kiss. She's able to understand. I was so deep in thoughts, I didn't realize I already arrived at her house. I pulled up, got out of the car and threw the door closed. After that, I was just going to ring the bell when a pair of hands grabbed my arm and pulled me to the right. It was Serena.

"Sorry, Miette's at home. If she finds out you came to help me, she'd tell Palermo and god knows how that would end" she explained making me raise my brows. "What a nice welcoming!" I said sarcastically making her giggle a little. "Seriously though, I'm dead when she finds out" she said and I raised my hands in defense. "Okay, okay, but how are we gonna get in?" I asked, and in response, she grabbed me at my wrist and pulled me after her, so, I guess, she knows what she's doing.

"Through the back door" she said while walking and it didn't take long till we arrived. The back door led directly into Serena's room. "Well, I would not make myself home yet" Serena said while sitting on her bed and handing me her list again, reminding me we'll have a lot to do. I grabbed it and saw she has already done the 'bake something' part 'cause she drew a little tick next to it.

"O-kaaay, what do we start with?" I asked and she buried her head in her hands and groaned, probably because she also just realized how much we have to do know. "I'd say we start with the bathroom" she said and I nodded in response. "Okay then, worst comes first!" I said, making her giggle again.

———time skip———

"Okay, living room done, two more to go" Serena said, panting slightly. I couldn't help it but chuckle at the situation, resting my hands on my knees. "What?" she asked innocently, probably thinking I'm laughing about her. "No-Nohing" I answered, needing to pause in mid-word 'cause of the giggling. Finally, I calmed down a little. "I'm just so done with the world" I explained, making her roll her eyes in response, but I could Tell she tried really hard not to smile. "Come on princess" she said, grabbing my hand and pulling her with me.

Next stop: Miette's room

We stood in front of her room, hearing a bit music out of it. I think it was 'Let Me Love You' by Mario. Why is she even listening to that stuff? Not like she isn't allowed to, but she never was a fan of those cheesy love-songs. "Okay, look" Serena started, whispering very quiet so Miette had no chance hearing her, "Miette's room is usually never really messy, and since I would be dead if she saw you, I'd say you start with the pool house and I'll clean Miette's room as fast as I can, okay?"

"Sure" I said and went down the stairs,

through the living room,

through a big glass door leading to the pool,

passing the pool and going inside the pool house.

Luckily, it isn't that much of a mess. Just a few shot-glasses on the couch-table, empty vodka bottles on the wooden-floor and towels laying on the red couch. I guess I'm gonna have this finished before Serena comes, so we can have some alone time.

Yay

——35 minutes later——

Aaaaand... done!

I looked at the pool house, pride flowing through my veins. I was finally done.
The first 'dirty—alcohol-smelly—ew-ish' pool house, now was a 'tidied up—clean as fuck—ish' pool house. I threw a sponge on the counter of the bar, as suddenly the door opened and Serena came in.

"Well, one more room to g-" she didn't finish her sentence, as she scanned the room, totally surprised. I made her speechless again. Whoop! Ash already 2, Serena 0. "Ehm... Wow" was all she was capable to say. "No problem" I said while throwing myself on the couch. She sat next to me, but as far away as possible. She almost pressed herself against the edge of the couch, but maybe I just imagined that. Serena's face didn't look like she was by senses at the moment, so she probably didn't even realized the moves she made.

"But... how did you... what did you...how? Just how?" she asked completely lost. "It wasn't that messy" I assured her. "Soooo..." I started, sliding over the couch closer to her "We can have some alone time"

Omgggggggggggggggg
I didn't have time AT ALL to write over the last days. I'm so sorry. But I'll be back from vacation in 3 days so HOPEFULLY there will be more chapters. Again: I'm sorry. We are at the beach from morning till evening, then wo go eat something, then we go for walks and then I'm tired asf, but try to write as much as possible but fall asleep ASAP. Also, sorry again, this chapter is quite short and nothing really happened but I really felt the NEED to upload a chapter to not disappoint you and also to inform you about my situation so I just thought I should upload this now even though I was actually going to write more.

I'm sorry...
