HOODIE GIRL

Chapter 29

A/N:I'm so sorry for not updating, Its been so long, sorry😚.

Ashley's POV

   "We need to watch out for the scorpions, they have a plan and I have a feeling it has to do with new recruitments "I said over the phone, still watching Wesley's movement.

   "Why do you say that boss? "Brainy asked as I heard clicking noises meaning he's already working on my claim.

   "Because Wesley just landed in their territory and their territory is even much harder to find than ours and ours is pretty hard to find "I said watching as Wesley walked throughout the scorpions territory.

   "Well boss he could just have stumbled there he might not know what's happening "Brainy said and I rolled my eyes.

   "You know your device works better than that, find out what's going on immediately "I said cutting off the call. I rubbed my forehead and took another sip of Esmeralda's chicken soup, my left hand still useless and numb.

     "I need you to find Wesley's phone number and buy me a new phone, text him and tell him to meet me for dinner I want to get this over with"I said chewing my lip.

    "What about your arm? "He asked. He's right and its still pretty numb and if I get there sporting the same injury as well me it'll seem suspicious.

     "I'll think of something and its better now so please do as I say"I said dropping the call. I took a deep breath and went up to my make shift closet at max's house ,this is gonna be a long night.

************************************

  I sighed as I got out the car, the restaurant standing opposite me. I took the phone Brainy got me and shoved it in my purse and trust me its not easy to do that with one hand but I'll survive.

    "Don't stress that hand too much okay"Brainy said and nodded imagining what max would have said. Thank goodness he doesn't know yet or he wouldn't have let me go at all.

     "Thanks and pick me up at nine"I said not waiting for a response as I walked to the restaurant ignoring the name. I am currently wearing a black tight dress that stopped mid-thigh with black boots and laced sleeves to hide my bandages and a black purse. I walked in the restaurant and looked around spotting Wesley almost immediately with a little gel in his black hair, I almost laughed but stopped myself walking to the table he was sitting and tapped his shoulder. He turned towards me and smiled, standing up.

    "You look beautiful "he complimented and pulled out the chair so I could sit. I smiled and sat down thanking him in my head, he just saved me from awkwardly dragging a heavy ass chair with one hand.

    "Thank you, you look dashing"I said smiling.

   "I'm so happy you wanted to go out with me, I wanted to ask but I didn't know how to so when you texted I was so happy but at first I....... I'm ranting again aren't I? I'm sorry "he said rubbing his head. If only you knew I only want you for information, I won't even take you up for a quick fuck, that's how bad it is Wesley Parker. I chuckled and took his hand in mine.

    "Its fine, its okay to feel nervous, I am too so its fine"I said smiling. He looked relieved and returned the smile. I think the world is ending, Wesley Parker just smiled. I released his hand and picked up the menu and looked for a dish that won't require both hands to eat.

   "Would you like to order now? "The waiter asked.

    "I'll have the steak, medium rare and um the salad and a bottle of your finest wine" Wesley said. He smiled at me so I can state my order.

     "I'll have the soup"I said as the waiter scribbled away in his notepad.

     "I'll be with you in a minute"he said walking away. He reminds me of my job but just sadder.

      "Um is something wrong with your left arm? I noticed you aren't moving it around that much"he said. He's really observant, maybe that's why the scorpions want him.

     "Yeah I didn't want to make it awkward but I went ice skating with my mum and I fell and hurt my arm, the doctor said it'll be better if I didn't move it around too much"I said and almost laughed at my own lie. My mum actually doing something with me, maybe in the next life but he seemed to believe me so that's good.

    "So you're diamond what? "He asked.

    "Silva, Diamond silva "I said smiling.

    "A pretty name for a pretty girl"he said as our food arrived.

   "Thanks"I said digging in.

************************************

     "Where are we going? "I asked. You know how I'm not supposed to be trusting this guy. Well here we are, we just finished our food and he said he wanted to show me somewhere incredible. I'm now following this idiot, more like he's carrying me bridal style because of my arm. I opted for a piggy back ride but he said I couldn't hold on to him because of my arm.

    "You know its my arm that's hurt and I can walk right"I said when he didn't answer my previous question.

    "No you can't I'll not let you stress that arm"he said firmly. I scoffed and if I could fold my arms right now I would.

    "Ice skating is just a lot more precarious than I expected it to be "I said pouting.

   "Its okay we're here"he said and dropped me gently. There was a blanket spread on the grass and a picnic basket on top. I looked around and it was beautiful. It's like a clearing in the middle of nowhere, there we're trees everywhere but the clearing had pretty flower and soft grass.

     "Wow"I said.

    "I found it when I was twelve, no one knows about it not even my mum"he said. I kicked off my boots and sat on the blanket. He sat in front of me and smiled.

    "Do you like it? "He asked. I laid  back careful of my arm and sighed softly as a firefly passed by me.

     "Is it bad that I want to stay here forever? "I asked a little truth in my  words. This place makes me feel free and makes me forget everything about gangs, killings, my mum and Chris and even my demons.

       "I wanted that too so no its not a bad thing"he said and I smiled until my face felt like ripping apart. I turned towards Wesley to see him watching me with a gentle smile on his face.

     "What? "I asked and he smiled.

     "I don't know why but seeing you smile makes me wanna smile and I can tell you're not being fake like the other girls I've met and I know we just met and all but I'll like you to be my girlfriend. Will you? "He finished with a soft smile . My eyes widened and my mind went blank. How do I answer this? If I say no I'll break his heart and my research will be over but if I say yes I'm putting myself in between a rock and a hard place. I kept staring at him as his smile smaller, making me sad for him.

     Curse you Wesley Parker.
