I Reject You

Chapter 29

"What in the world do I even wear?!" I almost screamed throwing my hands in frustration as I rummaged through my closet.

I had thrown what seemed almost like a million dresses, jeans and even babydolls on my bed. This was the first time I had I had gone back to my old room in almost a month now.

I had never cared much about my appearance or what I wear unless now. I just didn't want to stick out like a sore thumb while he looked like a Greek God as always.

I almost gave up when I suddenly remembered Lily telling me something about Ashler's favorite color being black. I wouldn't say it's much of a surprise to me considering the fact that I've seen him only in black outfits since he's come here. At the most he'll wear his grey or white t- shirt once in a while to the bed.

I quickly scanned the clock on the wall and gave a little groan of frustration. I had little less than an hour to find my clothes, take a shower, dry my hair, style my hair and complete my makeup.

I'm guessing Ashler won't be too thrilled about waiting for me.

I tried to calm down and think more clearly as I looked through my closet again. It was almost empty but I had missed a dress stuffed in the back of the lower- most shelf. I almost did a happy dance as I realized that it was black. 

Then I grabbed the black lingerie set that Lily and I had bought the other day, my towel and quickly headed towards the bathroom. I bathed and shampooed my hair at a cheetah's pace, not forgetting to shave though.

With the towel still wrapped around my hair, I slipped on the lingerie set and walked into the room. 

Looking at the mirror, I couldn't help but admire myself a little in the mirror. Something about me was different...dare I say sexy even. There was a glow in my eyes and cheeks which I'm sure hadn't been present previously. Was it because of Ashler's influence on me?

My body had become fitter than ever because of the continuous hardcore training sessions in the morning and my evening runs. I could almost see hints of a toned body and I was definitely impressed.

A soft knock at my door pulled my out of my current state of self- admiration and I chided myself mentally before looking at the clock again. Great, I have 25 minutes now to get ready.

I considered pulling on some sweats before opening the door but I'm guessing it must be Lily at my door so I let it be. She'd been gushing all over the moment I had told her about my date with Ashler.

I opened the door to find myself at a lack of words as none other than Ashler stood at my door. He stared at me with wide eyes and an open mouth.

As if someone snapped their fingers at me, I got out of my trance before covering myself behind my door. I know he was my mate and I needn't hide from him, but at the max he'd seen me in my grandma bra and panties whenever I take off my clothes to wear his t- shirt. This was new. This was undeniably hot.

"Umm, sorry. I didn't know that you were still..." He started, looking red.

"It's okay. It's my fault anyway. I thought it was Lily at my door." I explained feeling equally embarrassed.

As if on cue, Lily shoved both of us aside and walked inside my room as if it were her own.

She let out a wolf whistle earning a glare from Ashler and a roll of eyes from me.

"I know what you want but she's getting late for her date. Now shoo." Lily announced trying to push Ashler away.

"A date for which she's going out with me." Ashler stood firm, not moving an inch even after continuous pushes from Lily.
