82-Future Designer

Ashley Walters pov

Pain. Hurt. Sorrow.

Everything started attacking me, all at once. Edith was not allowed to erase it? For Justin, it should mean nothing. He was NOT supposed to cherish it.

I was not aware if I was strong enough to carry on with my assignment. Evelyne brought us out of that cottage and asked Edith to close the gates behind us.

“Where would we stay?” Aniya asked her worriedly.

“Anywhere but not here,” Evelyne replied to her, “We might drive back home.”

Instead of heading to the car, we went to the beach. I laid back on the sand not caring in the world if it would dirty my clothes.

“Girl! That was some hot stuff written on that table. Ashley, you need to go and talk to Justin. No guy would ever go to such lengths to save these chats unless it has got some meaning for him.” Aniya said sitting close to me.

“I was crazy after Doritos.” I told no one in particular, “he used to bring me those. B… But I stopped liking those. Now I can’t bear the sight of it.”

When the blast happened, Evelyne was out looking for mayonnaise for her special sandwich recipe.

“That’s why I never fell in love.” Aniya clicked her tongue, “I love food more than any man.” Despite so many tensions, Aniya’s analogy brought a smile to my face.

“You know what, Aniya?” Eve sat up straight, “You are a prick!” She threw some sand on Aniya’s legs.

“We are not carrying any other decent clothing, Eve. And let me remind you we are not booked in a hotel. So, you better don’t dirty my legs. They are se*xy and if a handsome hunk will pass by, he will think … Oui. Stop it, Eve!”

Aniya raised herself on her elbows.

Suddenly there was a shadow hovering over us, “Excuse me… Ashley?” Asked a male voice.
