48-You, Like Him Too?

Ashley Walters pov

“I don’t want to leave the party,” I yawned and stretched, “Let me enjoy some more booze! Please, Sarah!”

Blubbering to myself, I pouted and opened my eyes, looking around.

Fu*ck! I was no more standing on the counter but was snuggled in a quilt….

And in someone’s arms too!

“Go back to sleep,” said a sleepy Justin beside me, “Throughout the night you kept waking up because you did not want to leave the party.”

He yawned and tightened his grip around my waist, “Every time you used to leave the bed and I had to bring you back.”

Nuzzling his nose in my neck, he said in a drowsy voice, “You are a handful when you are drunk.

I squeezed my eyes and turned towards him. The plan was to place my face in his naked chest and go back to sleep. However, I felt upset when I found him wearing a t–shirt.

“Take off your t–shirt!” Before I could stop myself, the words were out of my mouth.

“Ashley!” The poor thing tried to argue and groaned, “Let me sleep!”

“OK.” I patted his shoulder, “Go to sleep, mister fancy pants.” He closed his eyes, and I remembered the day when I woke up one morning and found him sleeping under me.

One thing led to another. His support, the way he took me to his dining room, the staircase he got arranged when I decided to start the night job…

Oh my God! My night job!

I sat up straight, “Justin. I missed my job. It’s morning and last night they all must be wondering why I could not make it!” Justin placed another pillow on his head, maybe to avoid my shrill voice.

I jumped out of the bed to look for my phone when an unexpected headache hit me.

“Oh!” I plopped back on the mattress holding my head, “What is happening?”

“Hangover!” Justin was beside me in a jiffy, “Relax. I will bring your phone.” Handing over my phone he left the room maybe for getting some sleep in the guest room.

Bizarrely, there were no missed calls from Eve or Elijah except for a message from Eve.

‘We hope you are doing well.‘

“Hello!” I heard her voice when I got through the call, “Ashley. How are you? We all got worried when we got the call that you won’t be able to make it last night.”

“You… you got a call?” I rubbed my forehead while frowning.

“Yeah. I must say, it was a se*xy voice.” Eva sighed in my ear.
