Ashley tried calling him the next day but Noah was too busy in his family matters to deal with other things. Ashley was pissed off, then she slowly calmed down and then forgave him but wanted him to coy her. She stopped calling him.
Ashley reports about her situation to Hazel. She agrees to Ashley's idea of a revenge for not telling to Ashley about his own life.
Hazel: (Giggling and showing a 👍) Awesome girl!! You've changed...I didn't know you could be so cunning!
Ashley: You had underestimated me then. This is the real me! He's seen my good side...now, deal with the darker me😼
Her phone rings after a while and ...it's Noah! She was going to pick up,..when Hazel holds her hand and nods her head saying--
Hazel: WAIT!! No, you're not doing that!
Ashley: But, I do miss him kinda...Fine! I won't.
After a while of chatting with her, they go to sleep at their home. Then, she saw Noah's message but didn't reply. It said..
Noah's message: 'Ash, so sorry I didn't pick up your call. I have something personal to deal with. I will come back by tomorrow 9p.m. I am so sorry.'
Ashley goes to her chat group with Lucas and Hazel,..typing.
Ashley's message: 'Guyzz, come to sleep over at my place tomorrow 8:30 p.m.?'
They read her message and gladly agree!
Ashley smirks and says: Let's see how good you are at coaxing me, Mr. Boyfie! (laughs)
Time skip to the day when he returns and hears the chattering and noise at Ashley's house. He recognizes the voice of Lucas and Hazel. They were playing games and talking about past times and office things. He tries calling Ashley, but she didn't pick up nor did she reply to his messages. His parents were with him so he couldn't visit her place. He decided to ask about this tomorrow.
Lucas: It's been so long since we have been together for so long. Let's stay up all night? What say?
Hazel: I'm up! (smiling and energetic)
Ashley: Me too!!
They play all night and sleep at 7 in the morn. Noah tried to call her, but her phone was on silent. He knew that she would definitely go out for a run and so, he waited for her to appear for a long time near the park. She didn't come, as she was sleeping. By night, he finally saw her with Hazel and Lucas, her hugging them and waving them a bye. Lucas held her bare skin with his arm around her waist and then saw Noah looking towards them,..
Lucas: (whispers in her ear,...) Ash, he's staring. I'll try making him a bit jealous. (kisses her on cheek)
Ash: (pinches him slightly in stomach..) that was a bit too much!! Byee! You'd better go before he comes her (smiling but gritting her teeth)
Noah: (screams to grab her attention) Hey!! (smiling lightly)
Ashley, waves back at him instinctively, but quickly withdraws..She turns back and leaves. Noah runs towards her.
Noah: Ash, wait...(he holds her hand, but sees his father coming towards them)
To avoid him from catching them, he leaves her hand and tries to go only to notice that she was angry at him.
Ashley: Do I know you, Mr. ..?
Noah: Hey, don't do that, give me a hance to apologize. I really didn't mean to..
(tries covering his face so that his father doesn't see them talking)
Ashley: I think, you are not really putting efforts in our relationship. Are you?
Noah: No, that's not true. I love you, babe!
Ashley: (ends up blushing hard and smiling but tries to hide) Now you are calling me babe?!! That won't work on me now..I'm not like any other girl.
Noah: That's why I like you!!
Noah suddenly tries running and Ashley holds his T-Shirt's collar. He coughs and comes back. Then, he grabs her arm and pulls her at a side all of sudden shocking her, wanting to talk to her.
Ashley: What are you doing? Stop!! I said, stop...I'll fall, slow down dude!
Noah puts his finger on her lips to shh her, but she kept on asking for an explanation. He suddenly kissed her in dark corner, his aggressive hands under her crop top, on her bare thin waist. Ashley tried to break free from his grip that kept on tightening. She got goosebumps and he knew she like it. He told her that they were acting like thieves, talking in dark so that his father won't be able to expose their secret dating.
After explaining everything to her, she says that she had forgiven him long back but wanted to know if her could coax her. He passed the test.
Ashley: I was messing around with you for fun. Don't be angry, my dear boyfie 💕
Noah: (turns back in anger for falling int her trap) By the way, why was your friend hugging you and then he even leaned for a kiss on your cheeks. (wiping her cheek, he said) That's wrong!!
He walks to leave, but she hugs him from back, goes on her toes, kisses his neck and pulls him back on the wall, trapping her around her arms. She kisses him. He bends down a little and lets her take the lead this time, enjoying what he's earned! Then, he wipes his mouth which kind of angers her. But she knew she was wrong to mess with his feelings. She was ready and knew that she would definitely be able to win his heart, infinite times. She held his hands and he shaked hers away, leaving to go with his father.
Ashley: (low scream) Noahh!! Wait,.. (stops abruptly after noticing his father) Fine. I'll take what belongs to me! You better brace yourself, I'll surely make you "come" (author's pov: it's a naughty pun) for me.
Satisfied, she goes for a jog and then back at her house to drop a few messages to coax him. she asked him to spend a day of picnic after his parents leave. He doesn't reply, but she knew he'd come anyways.
Soon, her mother came from behind giving her a scare.
Ashley: Mom! You scared the living sh*t outta me!! How are you here, so late at night? Alone??
Mary: Dear kid, who were you talking to? (not suspicious as she didn't see Noah around) Was it Lucas? Huhh? Are you dating him??
Ashley: Mum, what are you saying?! Not at all! He's just a friend...
Mary: Then, is there some other guy whom you like?
Ashley: (instantly denying..) No, not at all! (a bit nervous, scratching her neck) It was just a friend, a society friend....
Mrs. Christ: Anyways, I'm here to give you a few things of yours that you had left behind a while ago. Take this. I have to go and make dinner for you father so I won't stay any longer. Good night sweet heart, eat your food and sleep on time.
Ashley: Bye-bye, Mom. Take care!
