Her - S01 E22

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22

. . .

Ashton Creed

I got off the jet, nodding at the pilot. It was early morning. I knew she was still at her dorm, sleeping.

She had scared the shit out of us yesterday but the bodyguards confirmed that she was alright.

I was more worried than I was angry. They said she didn't look well.

I had considered making one of them ask her if something was wrong, but I doubted Olivia would like that. She was still jumpy around new people. And her bodyguards didn't look like the most welcoming people in the world.

I got in the car, pulling my phone out. I looked at the location of her phone and it still showed the apartment. She had forgotten her phone. The one rule she had was to keep her phone with her all the time.

My jaw clenched but I forced myself to calm down as we reached her dorm building.

The sun had barely risen. Only some students walked around. I ignored the stares and walked to the elevator. My arms itched to have her pressed to my chest. It had been too long and I was an addict.

I walked out when I reached her floor and marched to where her dorm was.

I considered using the key I had, but then knocked. It wasn't like she lived alone here.

I heard shuffling, and then the door opened.

A woman looked up at me.

"Where is Olivia?" I knew who she was. Daisy Rose. Olivia's new friend. I forced a smile on my face but she took a step back at the sight of it.

"Who are you?"

"Ashton Creed."

She tilted her head. "Her boyfriends' brother?"

"Yes. Now step side."

She folded her arms against her chest. But I could still see the tremble of her hands. "How do I know you are who you say you are?"

I considered pushing her away.

"You don't," I smiled again and she took another step back, accidentally making enough space for me to slip through. I did and walked straight to where Olivia was sleeping, covered in these blankets.

"Hey! You can't just-"

Olivia squirmed in her sleep and groaned. "Daisy, what's wrong?" She mumbled.

"Little one."

Her eyes shot open. "Ashton."

Daisy returned to her bed. I ignored her and sat down on Olivia's bed, by her head.

"How are you?" I asked in a whisper. I didn't like people in my personal space. Maybe that was why I didn't want Olivia to live here.

She blinked up at me as if she couldn't believe it was me.

She extended her hand, cupping the side of my face, and then she smiled. "I'm alright. Lay with me?"

I did. Her bed was too tiny. I could barely fit.

"Um - I have class so - bye!" Daisy shot out of the room.

Thank fuck

Olivia threw some of her blanket on me but it was too small.

I pulled her onto my chest and covered us with the blanket.

She grinned at me. "You're here."

"I am." I tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Are you okay?"
