Alfie
Midnight fell and Alfie was still wake on his coach staring at his phone,going through pictures that they had captured together with Ashley,he had missed her and no words could describe how. A week away being in Paris and communication was not stable because of network problems and sometimes work issue.
Still on his,coach he went to his contact list tried calling Ashley he knew that at this time she would be busy getting ready to go to work but he tried reaching her but her phone went directly to voicemail,so he called his friend,"hello Chris let's go and have some drinks the bills on me"
"okay them am all in, you know i can never say no to free drinks,"followed by some laughs,
"meet me then at ALPHA club"hanging up and grabbed his leather jacket then locked his door,the club was few blocks away from his house,it was filled with people, pretty ladies who caught men's eyes but Alfie was not interested in any of them he had Ashley ,he loved her dearly girlfriend, his intentions were only to drink the night away and forget that he could not hug her.
He knew Chris always is always on time so he entered the club,"hey Alfie come sit with us"Chris had already made new friends and was calling Alfie to join them,all Alfie wanted was just a quiet night for both of them,he doesn't prefer a large group so he went and said hae to them he sat there for some minutes then excused himself and then went to the bar he ordered his drinks,he was soo lost alone lost in his thoughts while holding his drink, blind as a bat he couldn't notice the young lady with demonic looks she was sitting next to him and she wanted his attention she wanted more than his attention she wanted to seduce him and spend the night with him,she was also drawn close by his looks,his height ,lean muscles just everything about him had captured her eyes, slowly she pushed her drink to the edge of the table until it tipped into Alfie's lap,"ooh sorry,am so sorry ,sorry!!"Hecate the young lady had captured his attention,she was now busy wiping his trouser.
"Am so sorry,"she was still acting innocent,
"don't worry am okay it was just a bad luck,"Alfie said with a disappointed smile on his face.He sat down again with no stress and ordered another drink for the lady,"am sorry i wasn't well introduced am Hecate"as she stretched out her hand to greet him,"and am Alfie nice to meet you,"the lady was coming closer till there was no space left between them,"am sorry but i better get going i have important errands to run that i had already forgotten about"he was lying so to get out of the tight situation,he had to lie to get away from the lady,he reached out to his pocket and took out cash paid the bills he was now ready to go,he looked where Chris was he was having so much fun,he enjoyed spending his time with ladies,he was a womaniser, he called him out and gave him some cash to pay his bills since he promised that he would do it.
He left Chris to have fun he didn't want to ruin the night for him so he went back to his empty apartment to be lonely where he could be at peace with no one to bother him.
He took off his shirt and went and washed his face then stood in front of the mirror,his blond body was reflected back as water drops on his chest then the rest of his body down to his trousers,as he watched himself in the mirror he rubbed back his lose hair and then picked a towel wipes himself and then goes to his computer.

Ashley
The week was now coming to an end and the office was really busy they had to make sure that they would close the deal with Jared, most designs were done and few were remaining,the remaining design had alot of work and needed more focus.
By noon everything was done, Ashley cleared his throat ready to speak,"good work team,we have done it,now you can all go home and take a rest i know you are all tired so let's finish packing the designs and we can all go home and take a rest"she was right everyone was tired including her she had to inspect every single dress before it could be packed, after everything she went to her mother's house to spend the weekend there she didn't want to be alone.
"Mom am home"Ashley entered the house as she called out for her mum, they were really close and would talk tones of stuff together,she was her best friend,she would tell her everything that would happen to her.
"Baby you are back home, come and hug me"her mother was so quick she gave her a tight hug"are you going to hug me forever or you can help me with this bags, Ashley had done a some shopping for her parents. Evening fell early,"Hey Ash come help me prepare dinner "Marley Ashley mum had a loud voice she called out Ashely from the living room,"okay mum ,a sec and i will be right there with you "Ashely was busy on her phone negotiating with Jared her clients,she had told her that the work was done all they were waiting for was cash and he promised to send the money the following day.
"okay, what are we going to cook tonight?"Ashely was now ready to cook ,she fold her sleeves ready to cut salad,
"i see you still have the passion for cooking,i remember that's where you met Alfie,in your cooking classes"Marley commented she was trying to bring up the news about him.
"i still remember "they laughed together then the room was filled with silence,her mum had made her to remember Alfie,the day was busy that she had forgotten all about him.
"so, how are you doing?"Marley asked
"am trying to live, that is the best option i got,"Ashley was hurting deep down and had not shared her feelings with anyone.
"hey, come hear baby, relax i got you"Ashley had begun shedding tears her mum held her in her arms,"don't worry everything is going to be fine,i know it and i know the love you have for each other and. i know you will be together soon, don't cry,"she was encouraging her daughter.
"do you think everything is going to be fine, d you think that he will still love me no matter the distance,do you think am worth his love,do you....."
"shhhhhh,i know that he loves you,i see it in his eyes when he looks at you,stop stressing yourself no amount of distance can pull you two apart,"words followed as she gently rubs Her daughters hair.
"thank you Momma"Ashley said as she wiped her tears away,
"now let continue cooking before your dad comes and starts complaining, you know how he gets when his food gets delayed,she made Ashley smile,
They cooked dinner and ate together,it had been long since they had dinner as a family Ashley was used to have her dinner with Alfie they would cook together or order something,at the table brought back so many memories,how life was easy with nothing to worry about and she would spend her entire day watching tv but those days were gone,she had to face reality that life is not a fairytale.After eating they all went to bed Ashley was really tired she had a busy day and she was exhausted she felt like a loaded track she also wanted to talk to Alfie and tell her about her day she also knew that the conversation would be long it would be unending so she decided to get a rest
"let me sleep,i will call him the first thing in the morning,"she was talking to herself while getting ready for bed childishly she jumped on the bed ,she was not heavy so her petite body fell gently on the bed with her white gown,the gown was reveling her curved body,her steady breast would show off as her hard nipples would boastfully showoff off thighs would peep out of the short gown,her slender wait laid there like an hourglass wait to be turned to move,she never noticed all that she had she was not that kind of lady to boast about herself,she was now ready to see the next day so she covered herself and slowly she fell asleep.
