Heat

Chapter 31

Today is the day that Katie and Roger were leaving for Hawaii. Ashley didn't really like the idea of her

mom leaving her especially when things were about to get messy but she wanted her mom to be happy

and if that's being with Roger then she has to accept it.

"I'm going to miss you, Ash, honey," Katie said hugging Ashley as tight as she can, "I'll miss you too,

mom, but I can't breathe," she said as Katie immediately let her go with a sheepish smile on her face,

"Sorry, honey," she apologized before turning to Jake, who rubbed behind his neck nervously, "I guess

this goodbye, Jake because when I return you'll be getting ready to leave," she said as Jake nodded

with a small smile on his face, "I guess," he said as Katie chuckled before pulling him into a hug.

Roger smiled as he watched his son and wife interact until he glances at Ashley, who stared back at

him before she walked towards him, "Uh, have a safe flight," she said awkwardly as Roger chuckled

before pulling her into his arms, "Be safe Ashley, I may not be your dad, but I want your father to rest

knowing that his little girl is being well taken care of," he said as Ashley held onto him tightly, "Thank

you, Roger, please take care of my mom," she whispered as Roger smiled before pulling away, "Of

course," he said before turning to Katie, who smiled at them with tears before mouthing 'thank you to

Roger.

Ashely walked back to her mom as Roger walked towards Jake. "I want you to be safe and take care of

Ashley," he said as Jake nodded, "Dad-

"Now Jake, I know that I abandoned you, but I just want you to know that I don't regret bringing you into

this world and calling you my son, the decision I made to be happy was selfish and I hope that one day

you can find it in your heart to forgive your old man," he said as Jake emotionally chuckled before

pulling his dad into a hug, "Safe trip, papas, I promise I'll take good care of her," he said as Roger

smiled, at least this was a start.

It was finally time for Roger and Katie to leave as they both waved from a taxi while Ashley and Jake

waved back at them. After the taxi was no longer in their sights, Ashley turned to Jake, who looked Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

down at her with a smirk, "Alone at last," he said as Ashley giggled, "Come on, let's go inside I'm

starving," she said as both she and Jake entered the house.

Not too far from Ashley's house was a car that secretly stalked their house. Two familiar individuals sat

in the car watching Ashley's and Jake's every move as they furrowed in and anger and frustration, "I'm

gonna kill him," Jay mumbled in an angry tone as Tatiana sighed, "Be patient, Jay, the parents are

gone this is the perfect time to began our plan," she said as Jay smirked, "Gladly, they wouldn't know

what hit them," he said before driving away.

Ashley and Jake entered the house as Ashley went straight to the kitchen. Jake followed her close

behind as he also entered the kitchen. Leaning up against the door frame, he admires her prepares

breakfast with a smile on his face as he crossed his arms.

"What a sight," he commented as she giggled, "What are you talking about?" She asked continuing to

prepare breakfast as he walked up behind, "I mean, you standing there making us breakfast, it gives off

a wifey vibe," he said swiftly hugging her from behind as she blushed, "Oh, really," she teased as Jake

buried his face in her neck giving her a few gentle pecks that caused her to close her eyes and smile.

"Jake stop, you'll make me burn the food," she said giggling before pressing her lower region against

his to shove him away, "Hey, girl, be careful," he said with a grin on his face before smacking her butt

as she jumped, "I'm really glad that we're all alone, Ashley," he said as Ashley turned off the shove and

turned around before wrapping her arms around his neck, "I'm happy to Jake when you leave don't

forget me," she said stroking his cheek while staring into his eyes lovingly as he stared back into hers

with the same love in his eyes.

"I can never forget you," he softly said before leaning down to capture her lips with his. Her hands

gently ran through his full, fluffy, black hair as he groaned against her lips. His hands gripped her waist

before traveling down to her butt giving it a firm squeeze until he scooped her up and place her on top

of the counter as they continued to make out.

Jake began to trail kissed down Ashley's jaw and neck causing her to moan softly. Things were getting

pretty heated very quickly until Ashley pushed Jake away, "Jake, w-wait, I think we're moving a bit too

fast," she said breathing heavily as Jake took a step back nodding in agreement, "You're right, I'm

sorry," he said as Ashley smiled before hopping off the counter, "You still hungry?" She asked as Jake

nodded, "Starving!" He exclaimed as she laughed before gathering some plates, "Alright then, let's not

starve you to death, how about a movie after this?" She asked as he nodded before digging into his

breakfast.

After breakfast, Jake and Ashley remained in the kitchen talking and laughing before heading to the

living room to watch a movie. Jake and Ashley cuddled up on the couch watching 'The Witches'.

The scene with the witch taking off her fake hair played as Jake began to cringe, "Damn, she's ugly as

f**k," he snickering as Ashley playfully shoved him, "Shut up and enjoy the movie," she said as he

grinned before tickling her as she laughed, "Who are you talking to?" He asked as he continued to

tickle her, "No one, I-I'm sorry," she said in tears as Jake finally stopped before pecking her cheek

pulling her back in his arms.

As the movie was about to end, Ashley's phone began to ring catching both her and Jake's attention,

"It's probably my mom checking in," she said reaching for her phone before standing up, "Give me a

minute," she said before leaving the room.

She entered the kitchen and immediately answered the phone, "Hey, mom," she answered but the

voice that replied freaked her out, "Hey, you little tramp, stay away from Jake before I make you regret

it," she said before hanging up.

Ashley was terrified as she placed her hand on her chest. "What have I gotten myself into?"
