Katherine's Pov
"Enough both of you, Matthew what is it that you want?" I attempted to get off of Ashtons lap but he gripped onto my hips and held me down.
His grip was hard and firm, he clearly didn't want me going anywhere. This seemed like a private conversation and I didn't want to seem nosy but this male doesn't want to let go of me.
I'm a bit happy and slightly disappointed that Matthew interrupted my moment with Ashton, I'm not exactly sure what- We both know what was about to happen if Matthew hadn't entered
Okay, so I have a small idea of what would've happened but the real question is was I ready for that? Would I really let Ashton see me naked and vulnerable like that? What if he sleep together the one night and he disappears the next morning, what will I do?
Ashton doesn't come off as the type of guy to use a girl and just leave when they're done but what the fuck do I know? He could just be messing with my emotions right now, all this touchy and lovey shit could be part of his plan. He's making me weak and I can't have this, I vowed to kill Joey with my own two hands and I will do exactly that but I need to find Max first.
He could be in serious danger because of me, I can't believe I let someone kidnap him.
"What do you mean Max wasn't kidnapped?" Ashtons voice sounded dark, his teeth were gritted together and his fingertips digging into my skin.
I snapped my head to Matthew's direction, the conversation suddenly becoming very interesting.
What could Matthew possibly mean that Max wasn't kidnapped?
"Ashton, don't you find it odd yet intriguing that they could take him from right under our noses? Nobody can get through our strict security and if they did, we have other ways to find out how he was taken yet here we are sitting with little to no evidence."
"What are you implying Mathew?" I squinted my eyes at him.
He couldn't possibly be saying what I think he's saying because there's no fucking-
"Max is working for Joey." Everything happened in slow motion, realization finally setting in.
How and where I found Max, the fact that he willingly stayed with me and tried to get closer to me. He made me slowly lower my walls, he used me.
How could I have been so stupid! I should've known he was an actor, I can't believe I fell for his impression!
I didn't realize my body was shaking nor the fact that I stopped breathing until Ashton harshly pressed his lips against mine. It brought me back into reality and I started breathing again, my breath was coming out in harsh pants and Ashton was gently stroking my hair.
"What the fuck happened there Katherine?"
I didn't respond, I just kept my head down and my mouth shut. My hand was gripping onto his wrist, my nails slightly digging into his skin but it didn't seem like he cared.
He placed his thumb underneath my chin and used his index finger to lift up my face. My eyes were closed as I tried to get my breathing under control, I could feel him staring at my face.
"Open your eyes babe, focus on me and only me. Match your breathing with mine, listen to my heart beat," He pulled me against him, my legs on either side of his body and my head against his chest.
My ear was directly against his heart, I could hear the soothing sounds of his heart beat, the sound of his breathing. The slow rhythm of his heart started to calm me down, it made me realize that he's here.
He's here with me and he isn't going anywhere, the fact that he is trying to help me get revenge and keeping me safe at the same time makes my heart skip a beat. I've been pushing him away because I was afraid he'd hurt me.
But I was the one hurting him.
Ashton has been showing me that he's willing to do anything to keep me safe, it's always been my safety first. Yet I kept being stubborn and pushed him away because I thought he just wanted to hurt me like Joey.
Ashton has never given me a reason to doubt him, he has never purposely hurt me. Why couldn't I see that this male was trying so hard to please me?
You're not use to someone taking care or even loving you.
I've been getting hurt all my life, when someone starts to care for me it frightens me. What if he leaves?
Has he ever tried to leave?
No, he hasn't but what if-
Stop with the 'what if' and just focus on the fact that he's here now
"моя роза, are you alright?" I lifted my head and looked into those stormy grey eyes that always made my heart melt.
"Yeah, I'm okay, thank you." He let out a short chuckle and wrapped his arms around my waist while resting his chin on my shoulder.
"No need to thank me little female, I'll always be here if you need me. Always." Instead of replying, I nodded and played with the hair at the nape of his neck while humming a song.
Right here and now with Ashton was where I wanted to be.
I didn't know what we were or even if we are a thing, I just knew that I didn't want this moment to end. I wanted to be here in his arms forever, him holding me while I hum and play with his hair was amazing.
My eyes slowly started to get heavy, I was dozing off in his arms as he massaged my sculp. When he stopped and attempted to stand up, I whined and he laughed.
"моя роза, I just want to put you in a more comfortable position. I promise I'll continue once you're more comfortable,"
"I'm comfor-" I was cut off by a yawn, he chuckled and stood up with me in his arms.
He laid with me on the bed, his left arm draped around my waist, right arm underneath my head and chin resting on the crown of my head. My hands were on his chest as I tangled our legs together.
"Get some sleep little female, the real adventure begins tomorrow." I nodded slowly as I closed my eyes, ready for sleep to take over.
Maybe, just maybe things might not be so bad after all, I mean yeah things are fucked up but they could be worse worse right?
You're in for a big surprise
With that last thought, I let sleep take over. The demons in my head were quiet tonight, I wasn't sure if I should be happy or terrified.
Whenever they're quiet, it means something bad is about to happen and this time I'm not sure if I'll be able to save everyone or myself.
