The Scandal (Under Edit)

CHAPTER 18

Next morning I woke up in my bed, huddled in blankets, and checked the time. It was around 6:30. Groggily getting up, I made the bed and came out to find Brianna was in the bathroom getting ready. Mumbling her a good morning from outside, I went to the kitchen to fix myself something to eat.

Passing the living room, I had to take a back track when I remembered last night. The living room that was a mess of food wrappers and cutlery was all missing from the coffee table, the cushions and throw blanket was back in their places. Also I who was sleeping on the sofa ended up in the bedroom...?

ASHTON!

I checked the living room and the kitchen for any remains from last night and nothing was found. Not a single bottle or a wrapper. The pots, plates, spoons, forks were all washed and kept aside on the counter.

The funniest thing was that the leftover mac and cheese from last night was missing along with a food container and also the trash bag.

Omg, this is too funny. 

I was literally sitting on the floor holding my stomach and laughing at his antics. Before I seriously could never imagine having Ashton over for a movie let alone thoughts about Ashton doing my dishes and taking the trash out. God, this guy! I hope I don't find my washed laundry folded and arranged in my wardrobe.

Brianna who was now ready was standing in the kitchen looking at me wondering what's wrong with me. I stood up shook my head still laughing and went to get ready.

"Rey, I had my breakfast and now I'm leaving. See you in the evening", she yelled.

"Bye Brie", I answered from inside the bathroom.

After getting ready and having my breakfast, Mike came to pick me up for work but Ashton was not inside the car. I was a little disappointed  because I was looking forward to see him today. Pushing all other thoughts aside, I thanked Mike and entered the building as soon as we arrived.

We were two weeks away from the next single release and after Saturday's meeting everyone was up on their toes. I went to my cabin and powering up my PC I started checking my emails.

My phone buzzed from a msg from Ashton

"I'm at the studio. Will come later. Meeting in the evening at 4 with Adam"

"Okay, do I need to prepare something?"

"No, its about the promotions"

"Fine"

From the notes that I made yesterday, I found out that the album is scheduled to be out in November. Most of the song production is done. Photoshoot, and music video recording is left. Album artwork and arranging a few bonus tracks is currently being done. The album name options is also under discussion.

There was a knock on the door and it was Noah who entered. Taking the seat in front of me, he told me that he has the concepts and venue plans for the photoshoot and music video shooting that Adam and Ashton discussed roughly. We were discussing about the various options and he was explaining to me about the concept and themes. 

We finalized a few options that suited best with the theme of the album and decided to get it approved from Ashton. 

Stretching in his seat Noah said, "I'm hungry now. Let's go for lunch"

I agreed and both of us went to have lunch together at the cafeteria a few floors below.

"Aubrey give me your number. You left abruptly on Saturday and I didn't even have your number to call and ask if you were fine", he told me while having his pasta.
