The Holiday That Changed My Life

Part Thirty Two

For the rest of the day I just kept on running the conversation that me and Aston had through my mind. I don't understand what happened.

I tried to put it to the back of my head as I carried on with my work but it just kept on coming back. I'd text him a few times but got nothing back. And men say women are hard work.

At the end of the day I saved all of my work onto the computer and put my files into my drawers and locked them away before leaving my office and locking the door behind me. I said goodbye to Geoff and Mark as I passed their offices down the corridor before getting into the lift down to the reception.

I got in my car and drove back to our flat, still no texts or calls from Aston at all. Once I was back at the flat I was greeted by Aimee; Scarlett and Nicole didn't get off work until 6 and Aimee was working a night shift tonight.

"Hey Luce, how was work?" Aimee asked as she strolled from the kitchen to the living room with a glass of water.

"It was great, just sorted out a few main things for the photo shoot but it's a start." I said as I sat on the opposite couch, placing my bag at the side of me before checking my phone again. Nothing.

"Yeah Scar rang me before and she was well excited to be helping out."

"I've got hair and make up right on my doorstep, it'd be wrong to look elsewhere." I laughed slightly, checking my phone again as I felt it buzz in my lap, only to see a text from my sister.

"Expecting someone?" Aimee asked as I sat back.

"Just, wanting to hear from Ast that's all." I sighed, throwing my phone into my bag.

"Aw did lover boy promise to call," She teased as I laughed at her before shaking my head. "Then what?"

"He went all weird at my office this afternoon and just walked out, telling me that he'll 'see me whenever' and, I dunno, I'm just confused."

"Why did he go all weird?" She frowned, picking up her phone off the arm of the sofa.

"He was going on about seeing me tonight and I kinda made a joke about him seeing me all weekend and then he just changed." I sighed as I took my shoes off so I could sit more comfortably with my feet up.

"It's so cute how hooked he is on you, I've never seen a guy like this with you before, not even Andy," Aimee said as I dropped my head, we never said his name in this house.

"Babe, he just wants to spend time with you. You were together every day for over a month so being away from each other for about three weeks was probably difficult for him, I know it was for you." She said as she came to sit next to me before resting her hand on my arm.

"I know this whole boyfriend stuff is hard for you, especially since last time, but Ast's not like him Luce you know that. Ast's treating you how you should be treated, and I know that's new for you, but if you let him, you'll love it."

"I need to apologise don't I?" I asked, biting my lip as Aimee shook her head.

"Not apologise, just explain it to him, I'm sure he'll understand..And trust me, that guy didn't break up with you."

I laughed before giving her a hug and saying thanks. I picked up my phone and dialled Astons number, letting it ring before it went to voicemail. I tried three more times and he never picked up.

"Now he's ignoring me, maybe he did break up with me." I said to Aimee as I turned to face her, all the while she was shaking her head.

"No he wouldn't have, let me call Jay," She said definitely as she called JJ, not long after he picked up. "Jay?..Yeah yeah listen, I need you to text Luce Astons address..She's not been there yet..Okay great, see you tomorrow..Bye babe!"

"And in about two minutes you should have Astons address." Aimee smiled proudly as she threw her phone onto the other couch.

"What am I supposed to do? I can't just go over there when he clearly doesn't want to talk to me."

"Just trust me Luce yeah? Go get changed and then head over there and explain to him."

I took my bag into my bedroom and got changed into my comfiest pair of denim jeggings with my favourite blue cami paired with my white converse. I left my hair in it's sleek ponytail for the time being, I couldn't be bothered to try and do anything better with it. In the corner of my eye I saw my phone light up with a text from JJ, must be Ast's address.

I called goodbye to Aimee before leaving the flat and getting in my car to drive to Astons, hoping he'll give me a chance to explain.
