"You are not going there and that's the end of our conversation." He yelled while tightening his grip on my wrist. I tried to free my wrist but no avail.
"And why should I not?!" I argued.
"Please Aria for the love of God, listen to me! It's not sa...

Ashton's POV
I moved towards the entrance pretending to have not seen them. I tried my best not to look on to the side they were standing.
"Hey bro." I heard it. I heard what I was trying so hard to ignore. I turned towards them and feigned a look of surprise.
"Hi Aiden." I greeted him and looked towards Aria. She wasn't smiling anymore. "Good morning sir." She said politely and looked down.
I nodded at her and asked, "You two arrived together?" trying to keep my voice as less curious as possible.
"Oh I found her waiting at the bus stop on my way so I offered her a ride." He explained and I nodded.
"Get to work." I said and turned back to go in.
Aria's POV
I and Aiden followed Mr. Ashton inside. I was about to turn to go to the escalators when I felt a tug on my wrist.
I looked up to see Aiden holding my wrist, a question mark on his face.
I couldn't just keep telling the whole world about my problems so I simply said. "Uh I wanted to greet the receptionist." It felt like a very lame excuse but it was the only thing I could think of.
He smiled and nodded. He left my wrist and from the corner of the eye, I saw Mr. Ashton looking at me, with a knowing look on his face. I gulped and walked away.
I smiled at the receptionist. "Good morning" I said.
"Morning dear." She replied and resumed her work so I went towards the escalators.
I reached the cabin, greeting Bridget on my way. I knocked and heard a faint ' come in ' . So I opened the door and got in. I smiled a little at him and went and settled down.
I opened the laptop and took out some files. Those had to be checked and if any typos, had to be retyped and printed, and then stacked in the alphabetical order and some others according to the dates of issue.
Huh! I know, lot of work.
I looked up in Ashton's direction. I started to reconsider my idea of asking him about my part time. He looked really pissed, like I-am-in-a-bad-mood-stay-1 metre-away-from-me face.
I wonder what pissed him off so much, but how much ever curious I was, I was definitely not going to ask. I mean, hello? Do I look that eager to become unemployed?
Soon, it was lunch time and I was about to get up when someone entered the cabin. It was Aiden.
"Hey bro. You mind if I steal Aria for a while?" He asked and my eyes widened. Why would he want to? I mean, why?, can't he see, his brother is so mad right now, for reasons unknown but still.
"Aiden." I tried to signal him about it but that guy, as clueless as ever.
"Get to fucking work, Aiden!" He suddenly exclaimed, making me flinch a little. I bit my lip and looked towards him.
Doesn't he know it's lunch time?
He's so engrossed in work, that he doesn't even realize that it's lunch time now. Poor him! I mean, people shouldn't work this much. It affects the health of the individual.
"Ash it's lunch time. Stop being so rude." He said and I just ignored them and looked into my files.
"Do whatever you want!" Ashton suddenly said and walked out of the cabin.
"How could you just argue with him like that?" I asked him, while getting up and closing the file.
"Hehe, he is boss for you Aria not for me, he is my brother." I blushed when I realized he was right.
"Well, chuck that. Let's go have lunch." He said and I nodded, not wanting to argue with him on that.
Ashton's POV
I took another bite of my sandwich, everyone in the cafeteria were silent, probably because I'm here. I don't usually come down here to eat. But today, well, it's an exception.
I felt anger surge through me as soon as I remembered about it. Why were they getting so close, travelling together, having lunch together, why would they do that!?
I mean, just when I was trying to forget her and to stop liking her the way I am now. And they just had to show up together at the exact same time.
Isn't that a good enough reason for you to forget about her? I mean it's possible your brother likes her...
There's no way. I don't like it. I don't like them together. I despise the thought of them being together, him being able to make her smile and laugh and him being able to touch her.
I felt a wet sensation on my hand so I looked down to see the sauce from the sandwich on my hand. I didn't realize I was squeezing the sandwich. I cursed and quickly took a tissue paper and wiped it off.
Poor sandwich!
Ugh what is wrong with me?! I wanted to forget her but still her thoughts occupy me. I took a deep breath and looked ahead to see Aria and Aiden walking down the escalators and then exit the building.
Did she tell him about her phobia? But in the morning she didn't right, why would she? Right?
That's it! I can't do it! I can't stay away from her. I can't imagine her with someone else. I can't function without her. I want her by my side and I'll do anything for it.
----------- Missed me?
Of course you did! Hehe.
Well, tomorrow is my first exam and here I am writing and reading on wattpad. No one can help me! Hee.
