Ashton scoffed. "Seriously? You woke me up for this?"
Ashley hovered near the doorway, the dim hallway light casting shadows across her guilty expression. She took a tentative step forward, setting a plate of still-warm chocolate chip cookies on his desk—his childhood favourite. "I know you're still mad at me."
Ashton didn't respond.
She slides the plate down on his desk. "I just… I don't want things to be like this between us, Ash."
He let out a dry chuckle. "And what do you expect me to do? Pretend everything's fine?"
She bit her lip, hesitating. "I don't expect that. I just want you to talk to me again."
Ashton ignorers her again. He just gets up from the chair and hops on the bed.
"Your mom left for the party, tonight we both are alone." She said with a playful face.
Ashton looks at her "So?"
"So you have to forgive me.." She said sitting at the floor near the bed close to his head, looking at him.
"Why didn't you go to the party with mom?"
"Ash…." She said in frustrated tone.
"Leave my room"
"No" she answered instantly. "I won't leave until you won't forgive me" she swiftly sat leaning at the bed on the floor.
"How long are you gonna sit there?"
"Until you won't forgive me" she said facing the opposite direction of the bed.
"Alright then good night." Ashton said before pulling up the blanket and covering his entire body under the blanket.
"I won't move an inch until you forgive me.."
'Just another game of Her's, of course she won't sit for the entire night' Ashton said to himself. Before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
A violent shiver ripped Ashton from sleep, he felt a cold strike his body as he trembled.
He suddenly woke up; it was the air conditioner.
He has forgotten to turn the AC's fan slow. It was chilling cold. The room was an icebox
Ashton felt like it was freezing even under the blanket.
'What time is it? ' He had woken up but was still sleepy enough to ignore the cold.He then had to wake up as the cold was too unbearable.
He opens his eyes. He was facing the wall. He turned his head, and he didn't see his aunt's head above the bed.
'So, she left, huh? I knew it ' he gets up and takes the blanket off him.
Just when he puts his legs down the bed, his toes brushed something unnervingly soft.
Something very soft and icy cold.
It was her aunt sleeping on the floor curled, shivering from the cold.
Her hair falling on her face her hands clenched close to her chest.
Ashton's eyes widen in horror. He gets up in a rush grabbing the remote of the AC and turns it off.
He turns around and kneels on the floor " Are you okay, aunt? Wake up!" his voice worried and concerned.
Her teeth were chattering.
Ashton was really worried about her. 'shit how could I forget to turn the turbo cool mode off'
"Aunt wake up you'd fall sick, go to your room." Ashton calls but she doesn't respond.
Ashton places his hand on her arm nudge her body to wake her up "wake up! You stubborn idiot." Ashton nudge her body, still no response. She was just shivering and chattering her teeth.
'shit! She's got a cold, I need to ventilate the room. ' he said to himself before rushing towards the door and opening it completely and then he rushed towards the window near his pc and opened his window.
Ashton then walks kneel down again near her. 'I should take aunt to her room.' but I can't carry her through the stairs.'
He panicked. 'What should I do? '
His face suddenly gets stiffened 'alright I have no options left. I don't want to do this but...' he swiftly slides his hand under her neck slowly and his other hand under her thighs places one knee in the floor and the other foot strongly on the ground and lifts her up in his arms.
Ashley was in his arms like a prince would carry his princess. Being in his arms was probably a wet dream of many girls in his school and Ashley was just lucky.
Ashton carries her to his bed and places her head on the pillow and gets the blanket on her body, covering her entire body.
When Ashton touched her neck, he could feel her skin totally freezing her skin was icy cold.
Ashton who is now really worried about what he should do right now, looks at her aunt. She was still shivering even under that thick blanket.
'What should I do? Should I cook something hot for her? NO! How can I warm her?';
He then suddenly pauses 'now at this hour there's only one option left to warm her up.... Ughh God! I am sorry Jenny.'
He takes his shirt off and slides under the same blanket. He slowly slides his hips getting close to her and gets close enough to cuddle her.
Ashton lifts her neck and slides his left arm under her neck making his biceps as pillow for her. Shifts his hips closer to her literally sticking his entire body close to her.
He then slides his other hand from her back to her nape and then to the scalp of her hair at the back of her head. And pulled her towards himself. Her body was totally burning for the cold.
Ashton's bare skin touched her, warming her up Ashley still at one place lying in Ashton's arms not moving an inch. And Ashton held her really close and rubbed her back warming from friction. He also tried to warm her neck by exhaling at her neck and hugging her, placing his face on top of her temple.
'I shouldn't be doing this, at least not exactly after I got a girlfriend.' he thinks to himself.
'I am pretty sure you're enjoying it aren't you? perv..'
