98-Signs? Crap!

“You are unusually quiet, kitten.” I heard Justin’s low whisper beside me. We came late after wandering around outside and now we were having a scrumptious dinner that Edith made for us.

“Nothing,” I tried to smile and placed a bread piece on his plate, “I have got a busy week ahead, but I need to talk to Sarah too.”

I shared my concern at hand and placed my fork down.

“Then what’s the problem?” he asked me and offered me a cucumber piece that I immediately accepted and opened my mouth.

I chewed it and gobbled it down with my diet coke.

“Time is the real issue. I can’t expect her to come over just to give me explanations. Secondly, Helga said the suitcase might either be with Sarah or it might still be lying in that storeroom. If it’s there I need to

check it.”

“Kitten, listen to me. One problem at a time. Please. Just focus on your presentation. I can take you to the mansion in the evenings and bring you back before midnight.”

I looked at him with a frown, “You will do that for me, Justin Deluca?” Intense emotions were dancing across those Greek facial features.

“Anything for you, Mrs. Deluca.” He said softly. His lips curled up in the cutest smile showing the same dimple that got my attention when I first met him.

I bent ahead and placed a kiss on his cheek. He touched the cheek with his fingers and looked at me in disbelief. The smile vanished from his face and raw emotions took its place.

“Ashley!” he called my name and I swear my name never sounded so delicious, “I love you. And this is the bare minimum I am offering.”

I bowed my head to acknowledge his effort and we finished our dinner in silence.

“I think I should go and take my bag. We need to leave tonight if I need to attend my university tomorrow morning.” He nodded in understanding.

Leaving him there, I fetched my purse and sent a message to my friends to leave the apartment key in the flowerpot, sitting outside our door.

“Ready?” he asked me while putting on his jacket.

“Yeah.” I beamed, “Let’s go.”

“I wish I could tell you, I am so proud of you,” Justin said while driving the car. His eyes were focused on the road ahead.

“Do you mean to say that you were keeping tabs on me all this time?”

“Why not? Remember? I was the one who wanted you to attend university and broaden your horizon.

Always knew that you would make me proud.” He smirked tilting his head sideways and stroked my ear lobe playfully.

“What are your future plans by the way?” he asked me, shifting his attention back to the road.

“Huh. Future plans?”

“Yeah. The ones we make in our minds. What we intend to do with our life etcetera etcetera…” he tried

teasing me.

“In all honesty, till now I had been planning to destroy you.” I clicked my tongue inside my cheek.

“What?” he grinned looking at me in awe, “Tsk. All this time you were planning to destroy me. Can you shed some more light on it?”
