71–Forever

Ashley Walters pov

“GUYS! OUR VERY OWN ASHLEY IS BACK! YAYYY!” the moment I entered Ice cream Heaven, Evelyn screamed at the top of her lungs shifting everyone’s attention to me.

“Where were you, girl? I was hell worried. Your phone was not responding.” Sam came to me and hugged me making me a little guilty. I just sent a simple text and then switched off my phone without realizing how much they must be getting worried about me.

Squeezing his waist in my arms, I kissed his cheek without lifting much on my toes. We were almost the same height.

“I missed you guys so much!” I embraced Elijah when Sam again threw his arm around me.

“Yeah. We know. The way you had been calling us, we knew you are missing us soooo much.” Though

Sam’s tone was not sarcastic still I felt ashamed.

“Behave yourselves, you, guys. At least let her sit.” Evelyne held my arm and took me to the back room,” Andrew! I hope you can manage it for some time!” My friend did not forget to assign the duty to poor

Andrew.

“Where were you, all this time?” Elijah asked me before pulling the stool to my other side while Sam preferred to stand before us on the other side of the counter.

“I am sorry guys. I was out for a getaway with someone.” I tried to be honest with them and looked up to see their response.

Suddenly, Elijah and Sam broke into a laugh and held their tummies. I did not know what they found so funny about it.

They were decent enough not to roll on the floor.

“Boys. What is it? Can’t she be in a relationship?” Eve asked them sternly. Sam got serious more quickly as compared to Elijah.

“Relationship? Ashley? I don’t think so!” Sam scoffed and took out a small pizza to munch.

“What will we sell if you will keep eating out pizzas?” Evelyne snapped at him and then turned to me, “It was meant to be a surprise for you. We have started selling some mini pizzas and mini salad packs. Talked to a supplier two days back.”

Oh, wow! That’s such a good news! Congratulations!” I was truly happy for them when Elijah placed a hand on my shoulder,
