Zack walked into the living room with two mugs filled with coffee, he handed one mug to Ashton and sat directly opposite him " Are you ready to finally tell me what's going on with you? " Zack asked Worriedly. Ashton sighed and sat up right" Remember my trip to Paris four years ago? "
" Yeah? What about it? "
" Remember Alex? "
" Yes the girl you search for like crazy for months, just get to the point already! "
" I met her again today, she's Evelyn's boss"
" That's great news! You've been searching for her like crazy aren't you supposed to be happy you've finally found her? "
" I'm more than happy but.... "
" But what? You idiot! "
"She has a child Zack, a three year old girl that has eyes just like mine" He said starting into space " Ohhh" Zack exclaimed " But it might just be a coincidence the child might not be yours so just calm down and stop getting all worked up"
"I asked Evelyn and she says no one knows the girl's father"
"That still doesn't mean the child is yours so just relax okay? " Ashton nodded and smiled at Zack.
****At Alex's Apartment****
" Okay I've finally put Amy to sleep" Lisa said sitting beside Alex " Now can you finally tell me what's wrong with you? " She asked Worriedly " I saw Amy's Father today " Alex replied, her eyes widened in surprise" Gregstone? " She asked earning an eye role from Alex" Ashton! And shh you might wake Amy up"
" Okay okay just tell me what happened? Where did you see him? Did he see you? What did you do? Did you tell him about Amy? "
"I met him at the company, he came for the job of accounts manager, and I didn't do anything he acted so casual as if nothing happened between us in Paris three years ago so I acted like we never even met"
" And? Amy? Did you tell him about Amy? "
" Hell no! But... He saw Amy "
"And? What did he say? He must have realized that Amy is his child you know how much she looks like him"
" I'm not sure he noticed but if he asks I'll just deny it , he's supposed to come back tomorrow so I'll just tell him that we couldn't give him the job simple he'd be out of our lives again "
" That's an awesome idea" Lisa said pulling her in for a hug.
********The Next Day*********
Ashton sat on a waiting bench facing Evelyn's work station, he'd been sitting there for almost half an hour doing nothing but watching her work, he'd tried starting multiple conversations with her but they were all short lived. She got a call from the land line and nodded, she turned to Ashton " Miss Alex says you can come in now, good luck bro! "
" Thanks "
He entered the office and saw alex typing furiously on her computer, she raised her head and met his gaze" Mr West please have your sit" Ashton nodded and sat down " Well Mr West um sorry to inform you but we couldn't offer you the job" She said planely" Really? You couldn't or you wouldn't? " Ashton asked " What are you insinuating Mr West? "
" ENOUGH Alex!! Enough of all this Mr West nonsense! You're refusing to give me the job because you're still mad at me over such a silly matter instead of talking it out? " Ashton yelled Alex could not believe her ears " Now you wanna talk!?, four years ago you left with out saying a word and now you wanna talk? You call what you did to me silly? " She r retorted " I didn't mean it, it was just a mis.... "
" A MIS what? A mistake?, a misunderstanding? , how can you say you didn't mean it? You played with my feelings through out our time in Paris! You made me believe you had feelings for me and when you finally slept with me..... You left without a word, you didn't leave a note nothing! Now you come back four years later telling me you didn't mean it and it's just a silly matter? What do you want me to do now forgive you and give you we'll paying job in my company? You're a bigger idiot than I thought, now get out of my office " She ranted angrily as tears rolled down her cheeks "look I'm sorry Alex" Ashton said but was cut off by Alex " I said get out! " She said
" Please let's talk"
" Out or I'll call security to escort you to the exit"
He looked at her with sadness in his eyes and walked out the office.
