"Alan, if you don't want me to speak to you like that, stop treating me like a property" Ashely yelled back at him, although she was very scared of him at that moment, she needed to prove a point even if it means pushing him to the wall."

“I knocked but it seemed you were so engrossed in your food that you didn't notice” Ashely said chuckling.“ What do you want?” He stared rudely at her.“I forgot my nightwear, I came to get them,” She said going to the walk-in closet to fetch her stuff.“ I didn't want the food to be wasted that's why I ate them, try and reduce the chili next time” Alan explained feigning annoyance, after Ashely had picked up her nightwear and was about to leave.“ I get it, I will take the tray with me since you are done” Ashely mumbled, carrying the tray and leaving for the kitchen.“I didn't want the food to be wasted that's why I ate them, try and reduce the chili next time” Ashely mimicked laughing out loud.“Liar,” She thought remembering the look on his face when she caught him eating the food.“Shit, I have barely 30 minutes to get to work” Ashely yelled, staring at the clock in shock.“ How did I sleep so deep?” She mentally scolded herself as she hurried to the bathroom to bathe and get rea

“Arghh” Ashely screamed the moment she woke up, she was having a terrible hangover. After a while, the flashes of what happened yesterday started playing in her mind.“Ohh my goodness, what have I done?” Ashely yelled, holding her head tightly as the door clicked as if someone was about to enter.“I know you are awake, quit the play,” Alan said to Ashely who was hiding under the duvet.Peeking her head out “Good morning, I can explain” Ashely said in a tiny voice holding a finger up.“You look like a mess, freshen up and come downstairs I will make a hangover soup for you,” He said calmly, leaving the room.“Ugh, what have I done again?” She said, getting down slowly from the bed and heading to the bathroom.She had her bath and changed into shorts and baggy polo as it was the weekend and headed downstairs to meet the monster.“Come have a seat” Alan gestured to her when he saw her climbing down the stairs.“Thank you” Ashely mumbled, sitting down.“You made this?” Ashely asked, gulpi

“Argh” Ashely cried out in frustration. For a moment she couldn't wrap her head around what Alan just did and here she was looking so uncomfortable and incomplete without a release.“Can we go and see my mom” Ashely murmured the moment she dressed up and walked out of the dressing room wearing a pissed-off face.“Mmm,” Alan hummed nonchalantly, walking off.At the hospital.“Look who is here,” Ashely's mom said excitedly when the door opened revealing Ashely and Alan.“Mom” Ashely squealed, engulfing her mom in a hug.“How have you been?” Her mom asked, scrutinizing her face.“I am good Mom” “Good afternoon Mom” Alan greeted bowing politely.“Ooh, son come and give me a hug"Her mom called out spreading her hands to him as Alan hugged her.“It's been a long time since I saw your pretty face and why haven't you come to visit me since that time?” She smacked his head, feigning annoyance.“I am sorry Mom, I have been busy with work and I am not pretty. That's a compliment for women” Alan

Alan woke up in Ashely's embrace, he watched as she snored softly for a while before heading to the gym.Stirring from her sleep, Ashely opened her eyes slowly trying to boot herself for the day, she turned and met the side of the bed empty.“Where did he go?”She mumbled, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She got off the bed heading towards her room to freshen up and start her day. She was going to hang out with Shelly and Andrea later today and she was super excited about it.“There you are,” Alan's mom squealed when she saw Ashley climbing down the stairs.“Mom, I didn't know you were here, Good morning” Ashely greeted, hugging her.“Morning my dear, I cooked. We should dine together since we are family,” His mom said after the hug.“You look more beautiful than the last time I saw you and you have this glow, my son is doing a good job” She exclaimed excitedly causing Ashely to blush, hiding her face in her palms.“Have you seen him?” Ashely asked scanning around for a glimpse of Alan.“I ha

“Are you both being real?” She asked them after spitting out her drink.“Yes, we just wanted to know,” The both of them said laughing while Ashley shook her head.Their food was served and they all ate, talked, and laughed together.“I had fun let's do this again,” Shelly said hugging the both of them at the parking space as they bid goodbye.“Good evening” Ashley greeted Alan the moment she walked in and met him sitting on the couch in the living room.“How was the outing?” Alan probed, staring at her.“It was good and I had fun, now I understand what you meant earlier and you didn't have to do that,” Ashely said, frowning at him remembering how Shelly and Drea mocked her because of the hickey.“Have you seen yourself? You are extremely beautiful and I would stare at you if I didn't know you, so I had to mark my territory,” Alan said, one thing about Alan, he never fails to tell her how beautiful she is.“I am putting on my wedding ring that's more than enough to show that I am take

“If you can stop smiling at other men like a cheap whore, I won't speak to you like that. All of you are just the same.” He yelled back at her while Ashely stared at him in disdain.Ashely's chuckled at what he said “ Cheap whore that's what you have always thought of me” Ashely said tears threatening to fall from her eyes while Alan rubbed his hands on his face in frustration.“Ashely” “D…don't you dare call me” Ashely said, raising her fingers at him and walking off to her room.Alan stood up walking to the wine bar on the other side of the living room, he sat on one of the high seats, pouring himself a glass of whiskey and gulping it in a go. He didn't mean to call her a cheap whore but it just happened in the heat of things and it hurts him so much because he knows she is anything but not a whore.“Of all things, he could only think of me as a cheap whore” Ashley mumbled tears shimmering down her chin.
