His words were like a burst of thunder, which suddenly exploded in Ashley's ear.
As a result, she lost her strength, and the jelly in her hand flew out and fell to the ground.
Ashley picked it up slowly, pulled out a tissue, and wiped the package.
She moved her eyes to his finger on the button and paused for several seconds before subtly asking, "Don't you have your own hands?"
Jacob chuckled and said, "Kiddo, do you know what is interesting?"
Ashley pretended not to hear him. She picked up the remote control and turned down the air conditioner by a few degrees." I set it to 23. "
"You'll catch a cold."
Ashley was silent for a few seconds and noticed that his hair was not dry, so she had to set the temperature back.
She continued to tear the wrapping paper with her head down, but she could not tear it open.
Jacob reached out and took it, tore it open for her from the other side, and handed it back to her.
Ashley took it back silently and dug it up with a plastic spoon.
She always felt that the trend had become a little strange, wondering if it would be abrupt for her to suddenly mention that she wanted to go back to her room.
A lone man and a girl living in the same room.
The TV was not on, neither of them spoke, and there was no other sound in the room.
She could feel that Jacob seemed to look at her brazenly and blatantly.
The light in the living room was slightly dim, the headlights were not on, only the vertical table lamp next to the sofa was turned on.
The color lights dyed a warm and beautiful atmosphere, with a few traces of ambiguity.
The lamp seemed to have a temperature, and Ashley inexplicably felt a little hot.
But Jacob didn’t speak, which made Ashley relaxed.
She finished eating the jelly, standing up, "I'll go back."
Before she finished her words, Jacob suddenly made a move.
He straightened up, reached out and took her arm, and pulled her into his arms.
The strength was not great, but Ashley didn't expect it, so she didn't stand firm.
Her breath paused, and she fell on him.
Summer clothes are thin, and both were wearing only short-sleeved shorts.
Ashley can clearly feel that his skin was a little hotter than her body, and his breath was suddenly close at hand, familiar and cold.
Her body was a little stiff. She dare not move, whispering, "What are you doing?"
Jacob's fingers rubbed against her wrist and moved her hand to his own clothes.
His eyes were slightly closed, stained with moisture, and his voice was low and hoarse. "You done?"
"Then it's time for you to help me."
His eyes seemed to be bewitched, and Ashley's mind was blank as if she had been hypnotized.
After only a few seconds, she moved her fingers and listened to him inexplicably, slowly unfastening his top button.
The clothes were opened.
Revealing his distinct collarbone.
She looked up and noticed that his Adam's apple rolled a little, and the line was extremely beautiful.
At this moment, Ashley suddenly regained consciousness.
Because of her actions, her cheeks burned, and stumbled, "All right, I'm going back to my room."
Jacob pressed her hand, "Be patient."
Ashley was too nervous to speak, not knowing how to refuse.
Aware of her uneasiness, Jacob looked up and kissed her on the chin. "Don't be afraid."
"I won’t touch you."
Jacob spoke very slowly, unbuttoning the button with one hand, "But do you want to have a check on me first?"
Ashley felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
After a while, Jacob stopped and only unbuttoned half of the buttons.
His fingertips slipped upward again and stopped at the collarbone, acting with a touch of sexy color. His eyes were slightly bent, like a tempting devil who came to capture her soul.
The world was quiet.
"Do you want a kiss?"
Ashley went back to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
She squeezed toothpaste, and the sound of Jacob could still be heard vaguely here.
She dawdled for a long time and didn't open the door after brushing her teeth.
Before long, the voice of Jacob sounded outside, "Good night."
Ashley answered an okay vaguely.
Jacob, "If you need something, just let me know."
Ashley responded again.
Then came the sound of the door opening and closing.
Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the bathroom.
She leaned to the door of the room, struggled for a long time, hesitated, and pressed the lock carefully.
The spring gave a particularly loud jingle.
Her movement froze.
The next second, there was a lazy voice of Jacob from outside, "Why are you so scared of me?"
Ashley simply pretended not to hear it, turned off the light in the room, and went to bed.
There was a small lamp on the nightstand, which had been turned on and glowed dim yellow.
A single bed of 1.5 meters with light pink sheets and a half-meter-high bear puppet beside it.
There was a small desk on which there were all the small objects that Ashley left here.
Ashley glanced and noticed a picture frame on the nightstand.
It was a recent photo of her and Jacob.
Ashley lay down on the bed, rolled up the quilt and rolled over, then buried her whole face.
She could clearly smell the smell of the new quilt, with the smell of sunshine.
Thinking of what happened just now, Ashley felt a little out of breath and popped her head out again, not at all sleepy.
She stared at the white ceiling and ravaged the puppet next to her, venting her emotions.
She wanted to howl, but she was afraid she would be heard by the old man next door.
The house was not soundproof, and Ashley can still hear the sound of Jacob walking outside.
She reluctantly calmed down, picked up her cell phone, and flipped through a cartoon to read it.
But her mind was not on it at all.
Ashley has never had this kind of experience, nor has she heard people around her say that such a thing has happened.
She was seduced by a man.
The point was.
She didn't control it.
‘It's so humiliating.’
‘It's humiliating.’
Ashley closed her eyes, threw her cell phone aside, and got into the quilt again.
She touched her lips, and in this small space, the sound of breathing and heartbeat was amplified.
What came to her mind was the kiss she had just fallen on Adam's apple of Jacob.
The hand he rubbed and loosened at her back.
And, gasping for breath, he said flirtatiously, "I can't control this hand, or you tie it up."
The next day, Ashley got up late.
When she turned on my cell phone in a daze, she found that it was already ten o'clock.
She stayed in bed for a while, got up to wash, and then went out of the living room.
But I didn't see the figure of Jacob.
Ashley opened Wechat questioningly and took a look.
At about seven o'clock in the morning, Jacob sent her several messages, saying that he had to deal with something and head out.
[There was porridge in the microwave oven, which can be eaten when heated.]
[If you get up, tell me.]
Ashley replied: [What are you heading for?]
Then Ashley went into the kitchen, heated the porridge, and brought it out.
She took a small bowl and sat down at the table.
When she looked at the phone again, Jacob had already replied.
Jacob:[Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it for you.]
Ashley:[chicken steak.]
[Cool.]
Before Ashley finished her porridge, Jacob came back.
He changed his shoes, put the plastic bag in his hand in front of her, and casually asked, "Why are you up so late today?"
"It’s Saturday."
Ashley casually made up a reason, swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and asked, "Why did you go out so early?"
Jacob sat opposite her and answered honestly, "It’s my mother’s deathday."
Ashley looked up at him and gave an ah sound.
Seeing this, Jacob raised eyebrows, "Why did you react like that?"
Ashley let go of the spoon and whispered, "Why didn't you tell me? I'll go with you."
Jacob didn't seem to take this matter to heart and said with a smile, "It will affect your mood. I'm afraid you won't be happy when you come back. And it's a rare weekend to let you sleep a little longer. "
Ashley was silent for a few seconds," Mm-hmm. "
Jacob opened the bag put out the chicken steak he had bought.
With the corners of his lips bent up, he warned, "Don't eat too much. It's time for lunch."
Ashley continued to eat porridge and made a sound again.
Jacob glanced at her face and asked, "Did you stay up late last night? There are dark circles that appeared under your eyes."
Ashley nodded and told a lie, "I watched a movie."
Jacob, "Take a nap?"
"No."
Ashley finished the rest of the porridge and suddenly looked up at him. "Jacob."
"Mm-hmm."
Ashley pursed her lips and paused for a long time.
She was a little frustrated for some reason, and it took a long time for her to whisper, "I can be unhappy with you."
The two looked at each other for a few seconds.
Ashley withdrew her eyes, stood up, and said, "I'm going to wash the bowl."
At the same time, Jacob also said, "Come here."
Hearing the words, Ashley raised her eyes.
Without asking why, she walked around the table and walked up to him.
She looked into his eyes again.
The next moment, she saw his smile disappear.
Then he leaned his head against her belly, raised his hands, and hugged her without saying anything.
Ashley paused, raised her hand, and touched his head.
After thinking about it, she slowed down her voice, hurriedly and seriously coaxed, "It's okay if you want to cry."
"I can treat you like a child, too," Ashley stressed, "and I won't say you're a little crybaby."
Jacob laughed loudly.
Ashley was not used to comforting people and scratched her head gloomily. "I'm serious."
"Mm-hmm."
Jacob seemed to be in a better mood and whispered, "Then can you hug your kid more tightly?"
Because of this, Ashley spent the afternoon with Jacob.
She didn't take the initiative to mention the affairs of his family, and she was afraid to make more mistakes. She only knew to stay beside him.
She followed him wherever he went, like a small tail that suddenly grew out of him.
Because of her appearance, Jacob’s bad mood disappeared.
After a while, he teased her without appearance, as usual.
Ashley remembered the date silently.
She thought that she would not sleep late on this day.
The two stayed in the house all day and forgot to do the air conditioning in the Ashley dormitory.
She went back to the dormitory to get a suit of clothes and stayed at Jacob's house for one night.
Even staying for two nights, Ashley actually felt that she had a good time.
It was also convenient to go to work from here, unlike in school, it was a long walk from the dormitory to the school gate.
And staying alone in the dormitory, sometimes she did felt quite lonely.
At noon the next day, Jacob contacted an air conditioner maintenance electrician for Ashley.
After registration, the three people went into the dormitory together, and the electrician took the escalator and climbed up to repair it.
Jacob stood beside Ashley and glanced at the other three empty beds.
"Why don’t you stay at my place?"
Ashley was clearing the desk.
Hearing his words, she looked up at him.
Jacob said, "Come back and live here after school begins."
She was silent and went on packing.
Jacob did not force, leaned against the table, and played with a gadget on her desk.
After a long time, the electrician repaired the air conditioner and asked Ashley to turn it on and try it.
After the electrician left, Jacob looked at the time and suggested, "Let’s go out for dinner first, and then I’ll send you back."
Ashley was silent for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Can you go to the balcony and stay there for a while?"
"Mm-hmm."
"I want to get some clothes," Ashley murmured. "Only two sets of clothes are not enough to wear."
Ashley then began to live together with Jacob.
She stayed in her room most of the time and came out only when she wanted to eat.
But she dared not tell her family about it.
When Grace made a video call to her, Ashley had to run outside, pretend to have just got off work, and call back again.
Occasionally, when she was too lazy to run out, she made up an excuse for staying at her classmate's house.
The time of the holiday has come to an imperceptible end.
Ashley's internship lasted a month and a half.
On the day she left, Ashley bought some small presents for several colleagues who had taken care of her.
Thinking of Avery who had improved her attitude recently, Ashley didn't care about the past and also gave her one.
When she got a small gift, Avery glanced at her and said unnaturally, "Thank you."
Ashley nodded.
Before she returned to her seat, Avery spoke again, hesitating, "Ashley, can I ask you about your relationship with Kathy?"
Ashley was confused. "I have nothing to do with her."
Avery exhaled in an apologetic voice. "I did listen to her before. I was a little biased against you. I'm sorry. But when I met her recently, I also felt that there was something wrong with her, and she didn't tell me the truth, so I wanted to ask you. "
Ashley weighed her words and said slowly, "For some reason, she has been pestering my boyfriend, and she thinks my boyfriend has to make up for her all the time. You should have seen it before."
"Yes."
"If something like this happens again, I will call the police. So, if you are doing it for her own good, "Ashley said truthfully," you can ask her to see a psychiatrist. "
Ashley packed her things and moved back to the dormitory from Jacob’s one day ahead of schedule.
The next day, the other two roommates also came from home, and Sophie came back on the last day of check-in.
Ashley began to live the life of running in the classroom, canteen, and dormitory every day.
Because of the previous competition, Ashley had a good relationship with the instructor at that time.
At the suggestion of the teacher, she signed up for the game competition organized by the city.
It was a bigger one and also different from the last competition, this time it was individual work.
At the beginning of her sophomore year, Ashley left the student union department where she had previously joined.
She participated in the game art design. She always cooped up in the dormitory, drawing.
Occasionally there were few classes, or on weekends, Ashley will take the computer and stay at Jacob for one night.
It was a holiday soon.
Jacob booked her flight in advance.
The holiday added up to a week, and he had nothing to do, so he simply went back to South Star with her.
By the time the two arrived at the airport, it was late.
As soon as she got off the plane, Ashley took out her cell phone and helped Jacob find the hotel. "I wanted you to stay with my brother directly, but I suddenly remembered that he was sharing with someone else, a sister. Although I don't know why he wants to share and brother Mike gets married, then you can only stay in a hotel."
Jacob made a hum.
Neither of them had any luggage, so they followed the sign out.
To Ashley's surprise, it was not Liam who came to pick them up, but Mike.
Ashley blinked and was too embarrassed to hold hands with Jacob in front of him.
She jerked her hand back and obediently said hello to him, "Brother Mike."
Mike was was silent for a few seconds, also said hello to her, and then looked at Jacob, silently gave him a thumbs up.
Jacob held Ashley's hand again and raised his eyebrow, "What?"
Mike didn't put up with it any longer and said, "Perv."
Jacob turned to look at Ashley in a tone like a complaint, "He called me perv."
Ashley said hesitantly," It's not that serious. "
Mike was obviously annoyed by the fact that he was overshadowed by Jacob. He pointed to Ashley and spit out the word, "Beauty."
Then he pointed to Jacob, "and old Monster."
