96-Anything For You!

Ashley Walters pov

I felt something in my mouth and tried to gag.

What the hell!

My lashes unclasped and I tried to spit that thing.

“What is this? Yuck!” I groaned in my sleep and wondered if Aniya or Eve had prepared coffee. I needed a strong cup.

Gosh! My head might explode anytime now.

“EVE!” I tried to call her loudly, “COFFEE! PLEASE!” My eyes fluttered close when I again felt that strange thing on my tongue.

“Kitten!” Said a sleepy male voice beside me, “Edith would bring you, coffee, love.”

The voice reminded me of Justin. Sigh!

What!

Justin?

My eyes flew open. His head was there on my chest and his long curls were getting inside my mouth.

“Umm. Justin? Is it you? Move away!” I pushed him with all my might and propped up on my elbows. Memories from the previous night started hitting me right in the head.

I was almost a mess in bed. The quilt was wrapped around my body and the almost naked man beside me was glued to me leaving more than half the side of his bed.

“Let’s go to sleep,” his arm pulled me towards him making me fall on his head.

“Ouch, Justin! Leave me!” I rolled my eyes and hit his shoulder with a fist, “I need to go to the bathroom.” At first, I thought he didn’t hear me and went back to sleep.

But then his grip loosened around me, giving me a chance to get

my God damn presentation.

“JUSTIN!” I roared and went out of the room, “JUSTIN! WHERE ARE YOU?”

“He went out a few minutes back.” Edith came out of the kitchen all smiling.

“How dare, he left, leaving me here.” I knew I was acting like a b*itch. But my professors always respected me. I built a reputation in these two years.

Missing a presentation without informing them was something irresponsible on my behalf. And the one to

be blamed for it was not even in sight.

I went back to the bedroom and instead of staying there, brought my phone out. I switched it on and started scrolling through it.

There were dozens of messages from Eve and Aniya but also from Gerald. He was back at Arguli university dorm and wanted to meet me.

“Edith. Can I get something to eat?” I asked the woman and started responding to the messages. My first one was to Gerald.

“I am sorry for not making it today. I overslept last night and missed my classes and presentation. I will meet you tomorrow and explain everything.”

I about to type a message to Aniya and Eve when my phone started ringing. It was Gerald.
