39-She Has Got A Boyfriend

Ashley Walters pov

Missing you, kitten?

Justin!

My heart missed a beat. Looking around I made sure that none of my friends would notice me and went to the back room of the parlor that was only reserved for the employees.

After two rings the call was received, “Seems like you miss me too.” His deep, rumbling chuckle came out of my phone accompanied by throaty laughter.

I clutched my t–shirt with one hand and shut my eyes.

“Ah! Seems like someone is daydreaming too much now a days.” I tried to hold back my giggle, “And why you touched my phone without my permission? That’s a breach of privacy.”

“And why you did not bother to put in a password? Anyone can go through it.” He mused. We were talking in hushed tones. I was doing it due to the presence of my friends. While he might not be having company but still, he was whispering on the phone. Making it look like an intimate convo.

My smile grew and I turned excited, “So, what? I don’t have anything to hide.” I could imagine him sitting in his study with that smile that can cause flutters in the pit of my stomach.

“You do have a husband to hide.” He pointed out and that caused my heart to race. I tried to look around for some water as I suddenly felt thirsty.

There was a dispenser with disposable glasses placed on it.

This was the first time he mentioned himself by the relation we had.

“By the way. I am sorry. I shouldn’t have touched your phone. I just wanted to see by what name you have saved my number.” He went quiet after that.

“And?” I was all butterfly and giggles and and and … crazy!

“And then I found…” He sighed, “I am not even saved in your phone.” Was it sadness I detect?

“Umm. I… actually… Justin…”

“It’s ok, Ashley. Now tell me what you are doing right now. How you got time to call me?”

“I just had a sandwich break.”
