Chapter 9: 1.7 - Her Feelings-1

*Alison's POV* I groaned and rolled over my back. Why is my head paining like its been hit continuously with a brick? I slowly opened my eyes and was thankful that the curtains were still closed. I sat up slowly holding my head in my hands. "You can have this" a voice said which made me scream my lungs out. Me and Marie started at each other with wide eyes. "You scared the shit out of me" I said breathlessly. "Sorry?" Marie said more like asked. I rolled my eyes in reply which was a bad thing to do as my head started paining again. "How did I come here?" I asked still catching my head in my hands. The last thing I remember was going to a club with Em and Jake. "You were drunk last night missy" Marie's stern voice reached my ears. "How bad was it?" I asked lowly. "If you count giving a chair a lap dance and poured green paint all over Edward and started calling him a Hulk. It was pretty bad" she said with amusement in her voice. "Edward? Ian's bodyguard?" I questioned. Marie nodded. I groaned and covered my face with my hands in embarrassment. "Lap dance to a chair?" I mumbled. "That was quite hilarious if you ask me" Ian said from really close to me which made me, yet again scream my lungs out. "Will you stop sneaking up on me" I shouted making both Ian and Marie look at me with wide eyes. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" Ian mumbled quitely to himself but it was loud enough for me to hear which earned him a glare from me. "So who bought me here?" I asked after few minutes. Marie was about to answer but Ian cut her off "Emily and Jacob". I frowned at his answer. I looked around the room and realised I was in my room. A room adjacent to the master bedroom. Since that night of confession we decided to sleep in different rooms and yesterday I also moved my whole wordrobe here, and as far as I remember Emily doesn't know anything about it. I shook it off thinking maybe Marie showed her the room. "Anyways I was just here to say that don't wait up for me tonight. I'm leaving for Japan and I won't return until day after tomorrow" he said a bit flustered. Why? "Okay" Marie and I replied together. "Okay" Ian repeated. He seemed a bit nervous to me. What's the matter with him? "Have something for your headache" he said before leaving the room. I looked at Marie asking her silently 'What the hell just happened?' "Come on girl. Get up. Sleeping your headache off will not help" Marie scolded. I nodded and got off of my bed to start my not so good day. I brushed my teeth, took a long hot relaxing shower which helped a little to calm my aching head. I wore a white off shoulder sweater and off white PJ's and went downstairs to eat something. "Here you go" Marie said and she handed a breaming cup of coffee with cream and one cube of sugar. Though Ian likes a black coffee with just a hint of sugar. "Thank you" I said with gratitude. Before I could touch the brim to my lips a loud shrieking voice boomed all around the house. That voice being Em's as she screamed my name. "Oh boy" I mumbled to myself. Trust me I love her to bits but sometimes she can be annoying. "Will you stop shouting" I blew up as now I couldn't handle the noise anymore. Hangover's a bitch. "Oops sorry" she apologized. I sighed and went back to enjoy my coffee but again she had to interrupt and mind you with a loud voice. "I am never going to let you get drunk" "Thankyou" I said with a face of overly gratitude as I really don't look forward to experience a hangover again. "Shut up" she glared at me. "As I was saying... I will never let you get drunk again because after getting drunk you don't be the real you anymore. Do you know what you did yesterday?" I opened my mouth to reply but again she cut me off "Obviously no. If you did you wouldn't be sitting here beside me" she glared at me again. "What did I do?" I asked "You.... you tried to kiss me" She exclaimed. "What?" I excalimed in horror. For few seconds she looked at my face with pure seriousness making me almost beleive that that's really what happened, but then Em being Em burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that tears started to spill from her eyes. I looked at her with confusion but as my hungover brain finally began to work and I realized she was fooling me I glared at her, hard. "Your face" she said between her annoying laughs. I replied by throwing a pillow on her face. "Sorry but your face was hilarious" she said after recovering from her laughs. I simply glared at her and sipped on my hot coffee. "Now are you going to tell me what exactly I did yesterday?" I asked. "Allow me" Jake interrupted and threw himself on the couch beside Em. "Yesterday we got to see a very different Alison and trust me she was S-E-X-Y" he said. I just sat there gaping at him with open mouth. Is he talking about me? "Yes babe, I'm talking about you. You danced like there's no tomorrow. You were pretty much the star of the club. Oh not to forget that stunt of yours. You climbed on the bar and removed you jacket making the crowd go wild, but Ian came and took you away" he said with a pout. "Ian what?" I asked again. "Ian literally dragged you out of there. He was giving death glares to anyone who was looking at you with lust" Emily answered. As much as I was flattered I frowned in confusion. "If he was the one to bring me home last night, then why did he tell me otherwise?" I voiced out my question. Either they didn't hear or didn't care to answer. I'll ask him when I see him next time. "Al....." Jake asked with a bit of hesitation in his voice. "Yes?" "Are you really going to set your sister and husband?" He asked. I sighed. I've been avoiding this question from the day I learnt Ian is in love with my sister, but I have to face it anyway. So let's just get it done with. "Yes" I answered. "But why?" Emily said in frustration. "Em. I love him. I really do and I can't keep holding him in a relation that's just a business deal for him. I only want him to see happy and if his happiness is with Ashley so be it. I'll do everything I can to just see him smile." I replied. I meant Every single word. For me love is seeing the one holds my heart happy. Its not his fault. He doesn't even know I love him. He is crushing my heart without him knowing. "I don't understand. Either you are too nice or you are a fool" Em commented. "I'm with you Al" Jake said and held my hand making me smile. "Even though I don't agree with you. I am too" Em said. I smiled at her too. "So what's your plan?" Jake asked as we settled down on my bed in my room. "First step is knowing if Ashley has even a little bit of feelings for Ian" I said. "Yes. If she doesn't. It's going to be hell lot of work to do" Emily said. "How are you going to find it?" She continued. I shrugged in reply. "I've got an idea" Jake beamed. We ushered him to go on. "Let's play games" he said. I and Emily looked at him in confusion. He just kept giving looks to Emily. Few seconds later like a blub lit in her brain she beamed. "That's a great idea." "Wh-" Emily shushed me before I even said anything. Stupid twin connection. "Call her over" Emily shoved my phone in my face earning a unpleasant scowl from me. I dialled Ashley and waited while it rang. "Put it on speaker" Jake said. I rolled my eyes and did as he said. "Hello sis" Ashley's voice greeted me from the other side. "Hey Ash. How are you?" I asked.
