Chapter 15

His heartbeat was going higher and before such a situation which he had never been faced with, all he could do was to caress his face with both hands, while taking them back to his head and touching his hair as well as though he wanted to get something that he was not picking out.

"What happened to me?" Ashlyn inquired in a low tone, getting her eyes to scroll through the room like she had not been there and as she was trying her best to recall what had taken place last night, her whole body was aching due to the hurt of Blaze shaft going in and out of her bud.

Ashlyn's eyes were parading the room, after some moments of scrutiny, her memory came flashing back to her and the scene of yesterday was before her. Was she going to get mad or take things calmly? That was something that we are still going to find out and just as she was checking herself, Blaze walked into the room with his eyes, meeting hers the moment he entered.

On catching a glimpse of her boss, everything about the previous night, came flashing before her eyes like a stroke of lightning and before she could say a word, Blaze apologized to her for the misunderstanding that had taken place the previous dusk and he went ahead to ask her how she was feeling that morning.

The awkwardness of that moment was one that she was going to think of all her life and though she had not planned for things to be like that, the deed had already been done and all she needed to do was to live with it and bear with the situation.

"I have to go now." Ashlyn, let out the first word which came to her mind, all because she could not stand his presence but Blaze pleaded with her not to leave, he asked why she had not told him that she was still untouched but Ashlyn did not find his question very intelligent, she laughed out slightly and with an angered but respectful tone she asked him what difference it would have made.

"A lot Ashlyn. Oh, it would have made a lot of sense and I swear I wouldn't have done what I did yesterday." Blaze had changed with those words that were making their way out of his mouth and that attitude of his, made Ashlyn, to look at him in wonder and ask what was actually going on with him and why the man that was standing before him, had suddenly changed so much from what he used to be.

"Sir, I think you are making a mistake here. I have done my part of the bargain, so have you so whatever happens is none of your business. Besides, me being a virgin or not, has nothing to do here right?" She asked while struggling with the bed cover over her chest, and though the scenario was paining her, she had a clue of what she had signed for so there was no need for all the talk that he was pushing to the limit to have with her.

"Calm down Ashlyn and let's talk this out. Yes, I messed up but hey, I am not a completely bad person okay? You have no idea of what had taken place here after we were done making love. You passed out you know." He made an effort to explain that to her and feeling like he had messed up, he was trying to get her to accept his apology for taking away her purity and to also get to the hospital for a normal checkup but Ashlyn's belly was rotation just by having him before her and the more she tried to act like an adult and to let things pass by, the more angered he was getting her with his cock and bull stories that he was shooting at her.

"You are telling me to calm down now just because you noticed that I was a virgin? Or is there something else to this huh?" Ashlyn questioned with her eyes getting watery.

"Yes, no, in fact, that is not the reason. I just feel bad because, you want to leave without agreeing to go get a medical checkup so that we could know if you are fine down there or if you need to undergo some test given the fact that you passed out last night but Ashlyn, holding herself from losing her cool, she ground her teeth inside her mouth, and in a low voice, she pinned her toes on the surface with her lips moving together at the same time, as she told her boss,

" Sir, I am fine, and trust me when I say you owe me nothing. We have both fulfilled our bargain towards each other and any other thing that concerns me is none of your worries any longer. And thank you so much for helping me out when I needed it the most in my life."

Her words were gentle, but they had some hardcore conscience giving lessons from it, and just at the moment that Blaze was about to ask her to be reasonable, Ashlyn's cell phone began to ring inside her pocket and her attention was turned to it, knowing that she could be the only person to call her due to her mom's condition.

Rushing to the angle where the sound was coming in from, each step that she took, reminded her of last night, while her eyes paraded the entire room till she finally met the spot on which her jean trousers were finally thrown and she picked it up to get her phone from the back pocket.

"Friend," Ashlyn said, with her legs taking her into the bathroom and closing the door behind her leaving Blaze alone over there with his head boiling like a heater.

"What have you down Blaze?" His mind was going to explode and all he could do was to watch it and how she could change his mind.

Opening the door, Ashlyn did not want to have eye contact with Blaze, so with her hands picking up her little bag, she was already running out of the room when Blaze, caught hold of her and asked her to at least have some breakfast while waiting for her driving to take her back to see her mother but Ashlyn, hitting off his hand, she lifted her head to give him that one last stare although she was avoiding it and with a deep breath, she let out.

"We are not friends and you are my boss while I am a nobody. So you do not need to give me all that privilege because I know who you are, a flirt and a pervert. And this will never ever happen again, Sir."

Those were the last things that she said with tears rolling down her eyes and Blaze giving attention to that, he finally concluded that what he had been searching for has finally left him due to his inhumane manner of living his life.

Ashlyn ran out of the mansion, leaving Blaze to stand on his balcony, with her image going out of his gate. Her whole mind was already at the hospital and praying in her heart so that the doctor will not start the operation before she had arrived to see her mom one time before she gets in there, her heart was beating so hard inside her trunk, that she had bypassed Brandon's car at the entrance but her view could not catch it due to the tension that she was facing.

"Was that not Ashlyn that I just saw?" Brandon inquires not still thinking that he was going to meet her over there at that time. It was passed 7:30 am and the Blaze he knew, never allowed any lady to stay that long at his guest house but he had just caught sight of Ashlyn running out so there ought to be some sort of explanation for that for sure. So, he drove in with the expectation to get some gist from last night from his friend.

Blaze was still in shock while standing by his bedside and having a view of the bloodstain that was still on the bedsheet even after she had left. Without hesitation, he placed his fingers on it as though he wished to carry out some kind of experiment and while he was at it, Brandons' voice calling his name downstairs, snapped him out of his world and brought him back to the normal one.

Standing up from the bed and moving out to meet Brandon, it was as though Blaze world was coming to an end and this facial expression, was a bitter one.

"Ashlyn, where Is she now then? The doctor says that I will be sent into the theater hall very soon." Ashlyn mumbled without wanting to think of any other thing except for the fact that she was going on a journey that she may not return.

"She will be here any moment from now aunt do not worry as I have already placed a call across to her," she responded to her query without wanting to tell her that she was still a little bit far. The room had gone silent again for some few seconds, before Ashlyn, moved her lips to ask her whether she had managed to sleep well and she nodded in deceit.

Giving her answer, she was avoiding eye contact with Ashlyn which she had already noticed but what she had no clue about, was the reasons as to why her eyes were swollen and that was her next question to her.

"Are you going through something? Do you want to talk about it with me?" Ashlyn called out but she just kept silent as she had no words to express what she was going on. Yes, her eyes were best swollen and red and if she had to be honest with herself, she really needed someone to talk to since last night but being a bother to Ashlyn, under the condition that she was going through, he found it difficult to digest it and her mouth too was heavy.

"Aunt Ashlyn, it is true that you are a beautiful soul and have always been like a mother to me as well as treating me like your own daughter. But right now, you are not feeling walk and if I have to start explaining my worries to you, that will only make me a very selfish person because you are going through worst than I am going through right now." she tried her best to be comprehensive.

"Hey, as a mother, there is never a time where children are a bother to us and yes, I might not be as strong as I was some moment back due to this small illness that is weighing me down, but I can always give you a listening ear, especially with the way I am having you before me. So tell me, is this mood all because of a man?" She raised a question and it was so straight to the point that she was forced to open her mouth in surprise.
