Heat

Chapter 30

After Anna left Ashley began to panic. She was scared for her life and although she didn't like Tatiana,

that girl was crazy and could do almost anything. Ashley didn't know what to do, she kept pacing

around in her room before she thought about Jake, but then she remembered what she heard Jake

said in the kitchen. She sighed before plopping down on the bed, she furrows, "I can't believe he's

leaving," she mumbled to herself as she felt her heartache.

She was afraid that Jake would leave and not know about her feelings but she was even more scared

about telling him how she feels. She wonders, "What if he doesn't feel the same way?" or "What if he

finally accepts the fact that he's kind of like a step-brother." Those types of saying pushed over the

confidence she was building up.

But her feelings didn't matter at the moment because Jay and Tatiana were currently writing their death

wish and Ashley had to warn Jake. Ashley made up her mind before exiting her bedroom. She stood in

front of Jake's bedroom deciding whether or not she should approach him, "Ugh! Get your act together,

Ashley!" She practically yelled before quickly covering her mouth.

She sighed before knocking on the door but there was no answer. She furrowed before walking

towards the stairs, "Mom, is Jake down there?!" She asked as her mother immediately replied, "No,

honey!"

"Jake's leg was broken, where could that boy be," she thought as she went back to his door-knocking

again, "Jake, I know you're in here, stop playing games," she said but there was still no reply which

frustrated her, "Jake, I'm coming in," she before barging in to only find a dark, empty bedroom.

A sudden yelp left Ashley's mouth as a handgrip onto her arm harshly pushing her against the door that

slammed shut. Another hand quickly went over her mouth to silence any sound that came out. Ashley's

eyes were shut tight as her heart pounded in her chest. A hot, heavy breath fanned her face as it sent

shivers down her spine, "Open your eyes, baby girl," a deep voice commanded as Ashley's eyes slowly

opened to lock with a pair of dark ones.

Ashley immediately recognized those eyes as she instantly shoved him off of her, "What the hell, Jake!"

she exclaimed in an angry tone while Jake stood there staring back at her with a dangerous and lustful

gaze, "I've been knocking on your door and you're in here playing games, I have important shit to

discuss-," Ashley ranted on before pausing as she watched Jake take slow steps towards her without

saying anything.

Ashley began to get nervous as she stepped back but collided with the door. Jake continued to walk

towards her until his naked chest was pressed against her clothed one, her breath hitched as she

stared into his eyes. Jake leaned down until his forehead touched hers, "Jake, what-

Jake immediately silence her with an aggressive and hungry kiss that she immediately responded to.

So naturally, Ashley's arms wrapped as Jake wrapped his around her waist. They were so into the kiss

that they didn't even notice that someone was knocking on the door until Katie's voice was heard,

"Jake, Ashley, are you guys in there?" She called out as Ashley pulled away causing Jake to groaned,

"Why did you stop?" He asked as Ashley rolled her eyes, "Because my mom is on the other side of the

door," she replied as Jake leaned in slowly pecking her lips, "Just ignore her and she'll go away," he

whispered against her lips as she pushed him away.

"No, Jake, put a shirt on," she said as Jake glared at her before limping away as she turned around to

answer the door. There stood Katie with a curious look on her face, "I've been knocking and calling,

why have anyone of you answered?" She asked as Ashley sighed before pointing behind her, "Mr.Lazy

back there didn't want to put on a shirt," she said as Jake came out, "I heard that Mrs.Moodkiller," he

said sneaking an ass grip caused Ashley to jump. Katie looked back and forth between the two

individuals with a weird look before shaking her head.

"Can you both come downstairs, Roger and I would like to speak to you both," she said before walking

away. Jake and Ashley exchanged looks shrugging before following Katie down the stairs.

Ashley and Jake entered the living room after Katie, as met Roger waiting patiently, "Thank you both

for coming," he said as Ashley and Jake took a seat beside each other, "What's going on?" Jake asked

as Ashley nodded, "Well, our second wedding anniversary is coming up and we wanted to take a trip,"

Katie said as Ashley raised her eyebrows, "Where?" She asked as Katie looked at Roger, "Hawaii,"

Rogger replied as Jake tilted his head, "Hawaii, cool," he said as Ashley just sat there, "How long are

you guys going to be gone for?" She asked as Jake leaned forward, "Just until Jake is ready to return

to his mother," Roger replied as Ashley bit her lip at the thought of Jake leaving.

"Okay, well, have a good trip," Ashley said before getting up and leaving the room. Jake sighed before

going after Ashley.

Ashley entered her bedroom plopping face down on her bed, "Hey, what was that back there?" Jake

asked entering her room closing the door behind him, "I don't know what you're talking about," she

replied sitting up on her bed as Jake joined her, "Look, Ashley, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you that I'm

heading back home early, I received the news last night," he said as Ashley sighed, "I'm not mad, Jake,

I'm just disappointed," she said as Jake took her hand in his, "Me too, Ash, me too," he said before

lifting her chin, "Ashley, I like you," he confessed as she smiled, "I like you too, Jake," she said but then

her smile suddenly faded, "I have to tell you something," she said as Jake furrowed, "What is it?" He

asked as Ashley took a deep breath.

"Jay and Tatiana are plotting against us," she said as Jake's eyes widened, "What!" He exclaimed in

shock, "They're planning something, something to spread us for good."
