The Billionaire's Chef

Chapter 39A

Zia Knight POV

"I miss you Angel. I will see you tonight."

My heart swarmed in warmth and excitement. It's pounding hart and fast in anticipation for the night I will spend with him tonight. 

Ashton has been sweet and loving. Whenever we're together he shower me with his hugs, kisses and undivided attention. Yet when we're apart, I miss him but I don't at the same time. He always send me sweet messages like this one yet I wish he's within my reach so I too can shower him with my affection.

It has only been a short time since I know him and three days since 'the' date yet I feel like I have known him much longer than that. I wish I can say that he's mine but we have not yet talk about this. Yes he's possessive and he always says I am his, but, is he mine and only mine? 

I wish I knew, I wish he's mine, I want him to be MINE. 

I sighed deeply unknowing to the pair of eyes who has been eyeing me the whole time I am in deep in my thought.

"care to share?" smirk Avery. I titled my head towards her direction and her smirk falter as she sees the frown plastered in my face.

"Zia? is everything alright with you?" I sighed in reply not knowing how to answer her.

"Well... you have been busy with your love life and Lucas so I kind of need to update you with mine" I said hesitantly as I avoid making eye contact with her.

I knowingly what to come cover my ears with my hands as Avery squeal in her high pitch. "SONOFA..." I quickly cover her mouth with a spiced currant gingerbread before I dragged her into our 'manager' office.

"Jeez Avery you need to calm down, it's still working hours" I teased her while hoping for her to really calm her titties down. 

"Well, hurry up and tell me!" she huffed as she made her way to the couch and lay down as if she's on a therapy session. I rolled my eyes at this as I made my way to the single sofa.

I told her everything including the date minus details on the intimacy part; that's between Ashton and I. Instantly, my cheek tinted in pink blush as I briefly remembered the night of our date. 

"So... you and him an item now?" she now sit up and look at me deeply in the eyes.

I sighed before I answer honestly. "We haven't talk about this. He hasn't ask me nor have I asked him. I... I don't know. I have never been in a relationship nor I know how it supposed to go down these days... well, any days. Heck, getting myself into a relationship never really crossed my mind until recently you know." 

"Then, ask him" if only it was that easy? 

As if she can read my mind Avery added in her motherly tone. "It's easy, we're the one who tends to overthink things and make everything seemingly difficult"

"I'm scared" Avery reached out and grasp both of my hands before covering it with hers.

"If it's difficult and worth fighting for then it's worth it" she said with a smile and determination in her eyes. 

With that she left me speechless and the room fell silent. Once again knowing me well enough, Avery left the room to give me space and time to think about this. As soon she closed the door I took her previous spot and lay myself down seeking for comfort as my brain is slowly going through haywire.

I like him, I want him, I want him to be mine but will he think the same? Does he want to be mine and only mine? 

As soon I get close to Ashton I began to dig into his life through tabloid, online blogs and news. His achievements in business impressed me and I feel proud to know I have him in my arms for the past three days. Yet, his history with female be it heiress, models, singers, club goers or even business women worries me.
