Always, It's You

Chapter 71

Ashley woke up late with the sun coming through the window. Her hand automatically slipped through her side under the duvet and felt the empty space and her eyes shot opened immediately.

Her eyes searched for Taehyung around a bit only to realize that he is gone and it's late. Disappointment and sadness engulfed her as she let out a sigh.

"Mssing me already?"

Taehyung's whisper came right behind her ear.

She turned around to see a beaming Taehyung smiling down at her.

"I thought..."

"That I left you?" Taehyung chuckled, "I am not just gonna leave you like that just after..."

"I love you," Ashley interrupted him with a smile.

"God, you are so beautiful!" Taehyung leaned in and kissed the tip of her nose.

"Anyway..." Taehyung handed her a mug, "One black with one sugar for the lady."

"Thank you," Ashley took the coffee from his hand.

"Is it good?" Taehyung was eagerly looking at her sipping from the fuming mug, "Yoongi hyung told me how to make it."

"Mhmm," Ashley hummed in appreciation. "It's perfect. Where's yours?"

"I don't like coffee you know," Taehyung scrunched his nose.

"I can make some tea. How much sugar you'll have?" Ashley proceeded to get up.

" I can have my sweet in other way," Taehyung smiled mischievously.

"Is there anything in the fridge? I don't remember," Ashley tried to remember. She put the mug on the nightstand and proceeded to get up from the bed.

But she was yanked back down again and Taehyung claimed her lips for a passionate kiss and smiled against her lips, "That's why love, I don't like coffee, I expected sweet but it turned it into bitter."

Ashley punched his chest, "Kim Taehyung! You better stop flirting with me!"

"Why? I am comfortable with that!"
Taehyung slipped beside her and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Don't you have works to do?"

"I have. But I can manage a little time."Taehyung shrugged with a smirk, "and for your information, if you want me to go back in time, I am gonna be needing my shirt back,"
His eyes were traveling along the shirt Ashley slipped in.

Ashley buried her red face under a pillow. Taehyung pulled her closer and showered small kisses on the top of her head and long tresses.

"And..."

Taehyung was interrupted by the ringing of a phone on the nightstand. Ashley grabbed the phone and peeked onto it and a sudden frown appeared on her face.

"What?" Taehyung asked concerned.

"Give me a minute," Ashley freed herself from Taehyung's embrace and received the call.

Taehyung got worried through the bits and pieces of the conversation of Ashley over the call. He pulled her closer after she had hung up the call.

He kissed the crease formed between her eyebrows slowly, "What is it?"

"Ummm... it's nothing. Nothing you should be concerned about."

"If it's concerning you, it's not nothing . What is it? "

"Tae..."

"We promised, Ash. No more secrets."

Ashley sighed and closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, there were so many emotions in her eyes.
"It's... it's my prosecutor, I mean the prosecutor handled my case back then."
