I…I am not uncomfortable, why would you think I am?" Ashely said hurriedly, turning towards him only to come face to face with his rigid body as Alan held her tightly in her waist."W…what are you doing, when did you get here?" Ashely yelled, shock written over her face at the closeness with Alan."You know, when you kissed me at the restaurant earlier today ever since then I have been craving for your lips, they are so soft," Alan said in an alluring tone as Ashely

Malcolm!!!" Alan yelled, clutching his phone tightly. He didn't even know how he was feeling at the moment having another man call his wife a beautiful woman."This is why I didn't want her working," Alan said, scolding himself mentally.Ashely was busy working and wrapping up work because it was almost time to get off from work when her phone rang."What does he want this time?" Ashely asked with a frown on her face, her heart skipping a bit."Hell.." " Where are you?" Alan asked loudly over the phone causing her ear to cringe and interrupting what she wanted to say. " Why are you asking?" Ashely asked, raising her brows." Don't answer my question with another question, where the fuck are you?" Alan shrieked over the phone."I am at work, where else would I be?" Ashely half whispered because she didn't want her colleagues to hear her banter with Alan over the phone. "Pack up your things, I am coming to get you" Alan commanded."

"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." Ashely you are pushing this too far and you will regret it" Alan pointed his fingers at her furiously."I am not pushing it too far, the woman that hurt you is long gone, man up and move on stop treating me like I am the one who hurt you" Ashley spat."Shut up!!"

“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.
