Chapter 26.

Indeed I was shocked, perhaps surprised would be the right word for when Kylie didn't give two damn when I sat next to her. Sure, I did hesitate but I didn't want a cause scene.

The lank lump stuck on my throat when her bare shoulder touched mine. The golden metal, scratched my suit as it brushes past it.

Hope was a fire, and now it was burning hard through flames of golden. The last time we met, she said the words I missed to hear from her mouth, those lips moved in sync to form the exact words.

As the talks resumes, Kylie was silent. She continuously stir her drink, looking at it intently. Thinking.

"I thought that was never going to happen" Lara say, dramatically, "like hell, Anita was never going to win"

"I thought that too you know" Evens mutter, "it was worth Billion's. I throught Adam would win"

"Leaders of industry and commerce were by her side" Kylie say, for once talking and removing her eyes from where it was, looking at Evans "And they were the commercial heart of the voting"

"How is that even possible?!" Aki asks, "isn't one of the owners her ex-husband?! Did she threaten him, or did they get back?!"

"His half owning belongs to her," I state.

Kylie seems shocked, as I continue "and I heared the leader of them all is her boyfriend"

"Bitch" Aki snarl, frowning "isn't he like 80 years old and all"

"Excuses" Kylie mutter looking at her ringing phone, standing to take her leave. The warm instantly leaving me, replaced by the cold hugging me.

I see as she start talking "Kylie Rob, speaking" walking towards the gate, pushing herself to the cold air.

"Hoi polloi, you could have talked to her when she was here" Aki smirk at me, teasing.

"One word, and I promise you Aki, you won't see a light" I threaten with raised finger and frown.

"Oh am afraid" she mock, before showing me her bored face😒 "you are a coward brother, coward"

"Ash, for real, she was right next to you. She didn't even get up when you sat there, you arm touching hers, isn't that progress. Don't let her go" Evans spoke.

Evans had this girlfriend, who broke off with him after year of being together. He say it was nothing, but I remember that he was zonked the day they broke it off. And every time he talks about not fighting for her and all, when she wasn't the one who didn't throw a punch for him.

"Would you just shut it already" I snap "you guys know nothing, really."

I then see myself standing, walking towards where she just went now. I then spot myself in front of the girls restroom, hearing her voice as she speak.

"How can that happen" she say waiting for the other person, on the other line to answer, "I knew it, I'll be there right now. Send me the address and call me the chief,...yeas Hayden you could go,...leave them there, I'll plug that lunkhead myself.. Thank you, and hey, where is Ami...yeah yeah, will speak to you later...gross, no way....oh my God, you are disgusting Hayden, I am firing you"

When I was sure she was done speaking to whoever Hayden was, I got in after looking around me and making sure no one was there. Shutting and locking the door behind me I meet her gaze.

"W-what are you doing?" Kylie stutter, "this is ladies bathroom"

I rib my thumb over my lower lip, walking to her. My smirk was like my heartbeat, wide, when she backed as I take a step closer to her, until she had no where to go.

Wasting no time, I cage her right away. Looking at her eyes, her shocked looking face, and those lips I wanna touch, taste and know. She suddenly lick her lower lips. My jaw twitch, wondering if I won't regret what am about to do, wondering what her answer would be.

Then I lean, she doesn't budge.

Closer, closer and closer.

Sweet, soft and rough, our lips mingled together. She seems to hesitate though. My arms pulled her to me, on her waist. Squeezing her petite and delegate waist, making her gasp.

Pulling away from her was hard, but I did anyway, still holding her close.

"You are a coward Ky, a coward" I whisper, my hand brushing up and down on her bare arm.

She was quite for a couple of seconds, embarrassment it seems. The she look at me, a glint of something shining in her eyes. She looked like she was going to throttle me.

"I like you drunk"

Go on, continue on embarrassing yourself Ashton,

"Step Away Ashton" she push on my chest, attempting to go away.

"Stop it Kylie, just stop it" I snap, my voice was harsher than I thought, her look full of shock and surprised. "Always lying always running, when will you quit?"

"You don't know what you are talking about Ashton" she push again making me hold her wrist, "let me go, I sh-"

My lips met hers again, successfully silencing her. This time it was fast, I couldn't control myself. Maybe she would get that she still is mine after knowing she couldn't resist my kisses, maybe I would tell her everything I couldn't bring myself to say with a kiss.

Her hands rest above her head with mine above it. She visibly relaxed when I intertwine them, my hand filling hers.  Bombinates filled my head, delight and glee roams my entire body when she return my kiss.

Wanting to bring her closer me, I tried letting go of her hand. Tried being the key word, since she just held on on it tighter. A smile crept it way on my lips before pulling away, the need for breath winning over me.

Foreheads attached, noses touching, we breath. Peeking her swallowed lips one more time, pulling her lower lips and licking it I let go of her hands, stepping back, a hint of smile on my lip.

Resisting the argue to kiss her one more time, just one last time, I stuck a raven hair behind her ear, looking through her eyes, I spoke.

"I know you felt the sparks too Ky," I breath, my thumb on her lower lip, slowly brushing upon it, "stop fighting it"

It was a request, a demand, a statement. It was a plea. I was pleading for her heart, for her, for whoever she really was.

I take a look at her lips one more time, before looking at her green eyes, pleading myself not to let her go, just to hold onto her, to hug her, or even to tie er next to me. Smiling to my thoughts and shutting them, I unlock the door of the restroom, walking past an old women with a horror look on her face, and back to where I belong.
