When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

I completely forgot about that. “Yeah, sure. Do we go now? Or do we go later?” I nodded while answering.

“Let’s go in the evening. Then we can stay there for the night. I am not really up yet. I will need some time to get prepared. I’ll come to get you when I’m done.”

I nodded and said, “Okay, just call me by that time.”

Last night’s events suddenly replayed in my mind. I asked, “Were you okay last night? Why are you up so early today?” She did drink quite a lot last night.

She sighed, “Don’t talk about it. I was almost beaten up. If it weren’t because I wanted to pry Linda for information, I wouldn’t drink that much alcohol. Seriously, my head is still hurting!”

“Armond is not around?”

“Yeah, he seems to have something on. He went out early in the morning. My grandpa’s call woke me up, and I called you right away since I’m awake. I plan to sleep for a while more. Let’s go over later.” Her words were slurring. She must be getting sleepy.

“Alright, you get some sleep. I’ll read at home in the meantime. Do you want to come over for lunch since Armond is not around?”

“No thank you,” she rejected. “I don’t think I will be awake by that time. Besides, isn’t that expressionless guy at home right now? I am kind of intimidated by him, so I’ll pass.”

I smiled and didn’t insist.
