Chapter 41 Love struck
•Ashton's POV
“ From now on I'm just Kylie Tanner. No body to you. I will give you what you want, to avoid each other and that is what I will do.” Her voice ringed in my head multiple times as my feet lead me to wherever it is going.
My brain struggled to process what she said, giving me an immense headache in return. A thousand of arrows pierced into my heart hearing those words from her, it felt just like that. The pains her words cause to me are unexplainable and surprising at the same time. I can't seem to understand why I feel hurt by her words, I feel like I will die if she does not talk to me.
And I'm the same person who was ignoring her, during those times of me snubbing her, I was feeling so terrible with myself. I so badly wanted to talk to her but anytime my brain reminds me of seeing her and Eric kissing I stopped myself from going and all I could do is just to stare at her metres away. Now knowing that I could be wrong, that I just assumed that they kissed is making me feel awful at myself for snubbing her, Eric and also my friends just because I thought they kissed.
Now my foolish act has made Kylie angry at me. I sighed not knowing what to do. I felt the cool breeze on the left side of cheeks. I instantly became aware of where I am.
I was in the school garden, it was the coolest place to be. The scent of tulip flowers, magnolia champaca and other scent I can't identify hit my nose calming my nerves down but it was not enough to eradicate the awful feelings in my chest.
I smiled as I watch the white butterflies flap their wings around the bush of tulip flowers, they feel happy unlike me who feel terrible. The school's garden is not that large neither small but okay, has enough space for people to walk around. It has awide variety of plantsthat are made ofdifferentcolors,sizes,shapes andscentd. As students termed the garden, “ the perfect place to stay”. It is indeed perfect place to stay, to calm your mind.
My eyes averted from the butterflies to the long bench that leaned on the wall covered with flower vines. Kelly laying on the bench with his phone on his hands, his fingers moving and a wide smile on his face. His face spelled love.
Seeing my cold hearted brother looking love-struck, I can not believe he could actually feel love for another person aside from me, mother and big bro, my heart warmed with a smile.
I tucked my hands into my pockets, walking quietly towards him. Still surprise he has not notice me. For someone who is too cautious because of the nature of job he does, did not react to me moving to him.
I still don't understand why he chose to put himself in danger just to escape the affairs of father. I wish he could have chosen another way but he rather choose this kind of life that costs his life. When I asked him he replied, “it is for hkm not father, I want to feel that thrill when I'm in battle, to experience it and save the people from harm.”
He is brave, I give him for that. I, the other hand is a coward. Who refuse to stand up for what he wants, even if I am stubborn towards him there are things I wish to do that I can't do just because I want to have a place in my father's heart.
Being an illegitimate child is hard. Having less opportunities than your brothers and siblings, doing things to please him just to get what you wants. It is very difficult to do.
Anytime I see Kelly and big bro, I'm glad that Father can not hold his dick, unless I won't be able to meet them or be brothers to them. We don't see each other as half brothers but brothers, full brothers unlike our other siblings and I love them for that.
When I've gotten closer to him, I stretched my hand to snatch his phone but his reflexes were fast. He swiped his hands to the other side standing up. I thought he did not notice me ; always cautious.
“ Why are you sneaking up on me ?” Kelly asked with a pointy finger, standing on the bench.
“ I wasn't,” I lied, sitting on the bench with my legs folded. “ why will I do so ? I was just walking.” I told him with my chin resting on my palm and my elbow on my lap. I was sitting on the bench.
“ I don't have time to argue with you little brother,” He knew I hated him referring me to little brother, we are practically age mates. Just only two months, two months that he older than me with. But that does not mean, we are age mates.
I scowled at him, “ We are age mates.”
“ Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourself that,” He taunted me with a smirk, I roll my eyes. “ so what's up little bro .” I just shake my head not wanting to say anything, knowing for the fact that even if I say anything it won't stop him from calling me one.
My lips fromed into a smirk as I remember the love smitten face I saw him with, I shifted closer to him facing him, he was now seated. “ So who were you chatting with ?” I asked with my eyebrows waggling.
He raised a brow, then his face blushed crimson red. I wish I have a camera right now with me, seeing Kelly blush is worth more than a billion. The girl must be really beautiful to have him whipped, so this is how love is.
“ Just like how you love Kylie...” a voice said in my head, I shaked it off. Nowadays I've been hearing different voices in my head who says the weirdest things.
“ Nobody... Why do you want to know... I'm not chatting with anybody.” He lied, he turns into a stuttering mess when he lies.
“ Yeah, yeah keep lying.” I told him with a smirk on my face, seeing his reaction made me burst into laughter. His grip loosen on his phone and I took the opportunity to grab his phone.
I ran, I place my finger on the finger print sensor to unlock his phone. I secretly input my fingerprints on his phone in case he changed it and he did. Now it really did come in handy.
The phone unlocked and the first things I saw was Future wife with a heart emoji. I wonder who is that, I wished I paid attention to the footsteps behind me coming towards me even if I did he will still catch up with me, he is faster than me. I wonder why I'm in football, oh yeah because of dad.
I got tackled from behind, falling to the ground feeling a heavy weight on me. I stretch my hands forward not wanting him to take the phone without a fight. We rolled on the ground together, staining our dear blue shirts and trousers with dirt fighting over the phone. He succeeded in collecting the phone.
He stood up from me, I groaned still laying on the floor in disappointment. I did not get to read their chats. Damnit!
I stood up dusting the soil off my body, my uniform is already dirty. Thank God I have an extra uniform in my locker. Phew! I'm safe.
“ Just tell me who is that,” I walked speedily to catch up with me, he was already going out of the garden when I've gotten to him, I hand my hand around his shoulder. He did not budge as he usually does. “ Tell me who got you to look so smitten.” I teased him using my hip to push him a little. He bit his lips suppressing his smile, I laughed out loud at his reaction.
“ What's up with you and Eric ?” He asked changing the subject, making my demeanor change completely. He continue, “ He came to meet me today and ask me on the scale of one to ten, how bad do you want to kill him.”
If he truly met with Kelly to ask such question, that means they kissed. Did they truly kiss ? Oh God this is confusing.
“ Did he do anything wrong ? ”
“ He kissed Kylie,” I blurted out, “ I saw them kissing or I think I did... I don't know it is confusing, they were very close so I assume they did.” I dropped my hand down from his shoulder.
“ Did you talk to them about it ?” I took in a sharp breath then reply “ No,” in a tone of disappointment, “ I did not.” I wish I did.
“ So that is why you three skipped lunch for the past two days,” They did not go for lunch, “ you guys don't want to see other faces, how interesting. I thought Eric is in love with that blonde chic... What is her name again ?” He asked tapping his forehead trying to remember Elle's name.
“ Elle,” I answered helping him out.
“ Yeah that chic. I thought he loves Elle or did his feelings change ? Then he now has feelings for Kylie.” My fist clenched as he said that, he let out a bellowing laugh. “ You know even if they kissed or not, it is not your business. You are not supposed to get angry at them, you are not dating her or are you ?” Yeah I'm not supposed to be angry, but why am I angry ? I like her, yes but not to the extent of dating her or do I ?
“ Eric is just right there, go talk to him and confirm whether the kiss is true or not, ” Kelly told me pointing to Eric who is putting his books in his locker, a ear pod tucked inside his left ear. Nodding his head , shaking his body like he is dancing.
We were just a few meters away from him, “ Eric...” Kelly shouted his name, Eric closed his locker slowly turning to face us, he turned to look at Kelly then at me, then Kelly, then me again. He did that for a while before sprinting away. Kelly ran after him.
I'm very sure He will catch Eric.Download Novelah App
