My Best Friends Mistress

Chapter Eight - Time apart and making up

Callie’s P.O.V

See those few days that Asher asked for? A few days has turned into two weeks. It has been two weeks since I spoke to him, not even as much as a text. I did text him, just seeing how he was doing and he never even replied. I thought he said we would be alright? I missed him. I was used to seeing him nearly every day if not talking to him every day and now nothing at all. I do not like it at all. I was mad at him and maybe I had no right because of what happened between us but he is my best friend at the end of the day. That means more than one stupid drunken mistake, well to me it does…him? I am not sure.

All our friends were going out tonight. I wanted me to go with them but I told them no. I was not really in the mood. Decided to have a night in on my own with rom-coms and ice cream, just how I was feeling. I was snuggled up on the sofa, very comfortable and warm but was soon disturbed when there was a knock at my front door. Who the heck is that? I groaned, pulling myself off the sofa, going over and looking through the peephole and right enough there he was. Asher standing looking nervous. I rolled my eyes for a moment before opening the door. 

“Hi.” He said rubbing the back of his neck

“Whatever.” I huffed turning and walking back to the sofa, snuggling back under the cover. 

He was soon hot on my heels, standing in front of me. 

“Come on don’t be like that Bambi.” He said

“Like what? You have f*****g ignored me for two weeks, Asher…two weeks. Yes, I get stuff happened that shouldn’t have and you needed time but two weeks really? I was beginning to think you had forgotten all about me.” I snapped.

“Callie please don’t be like that? I needed some time. I felt terrible for letting that happen. It wasn’t fair on you or Kate. She doesn’t deserve that and you don’t deserve to get used the way I used you.” He said running his hands through my hair. 

“I do not care what happened between us Asher. That isn’t why I am mad. It happened, that can’t be changed. I am mad cause you have completely ignored me for two weeks. I text you, too see how you were and you never replied.” I said shaking my head. 

He looked at me, seeming confused at the last part.

“Text? I never got a text from you Callie?” he said. 

What is he talking about? I sent him a text. I grabbed my phone, looking through my sent messages which I have a bad habit of not deleting and there it was. I handed it to him and showed him. 

“I never got that.” He said, suddenly an annoyed look on his face “Kate.” He added. 

“What about her?” I asked confused

“She was doing something on my phone, she must have deleted it,” he said pissed. 

“Seriously? She is deleting your messages now?” I asked shaking my head. 

“It is the only thing I can think of. Bambi, I am sorry, please forgive me? I miss you.” He said, “I can’t believe she would do this,” he added sighing. 

Why does he seem surprised about this? No offence but the girl is crazy. It seems like her kind of thing to do, and he should know that by now.

“Why does that surprise?” I asked

“Cause when you sent that...that week things were really good between us. We were spending time together, laughing and joking. Christ, we even had s*x so I don’t get why she would. Then this week she is back to her old ways.” He said. 

That is surprising things had been going good for a week, it is only usually a day or two. It made me think something was not right.

“Is there any chance she knows what happened between you and me?” I asked. 

It would explain why she was playing nice if she knew something was really off. She couldn’t lose the man that gives her everything. 

“No. Only you and I know about that. I deleted the texts from my phone and I made sure to cover the scratches on my back until they cleared.” He said. 

Oops, bad habit of mine...leaving nail marks, not like anyone complains about it.

“Um...Yeah sorry about that.” I said nervously

“Don’t be it's fine.” He chuckled. 

A silence fell between us both for a moment but it was a comfortable one which made me believe him and I are gonna be OK. He seemed lost in his own thoughts. I left him to it until he was ready to come out of it. He turned to look at me, smiling. 

“We gonna be OK?” he asked

“Yes, well in one condition.” I said giggled, Asher looking at me, wondering what my next words were gonna be “We snuggle cause I have missed our snuggles.” I added pouting. 

He chuckled, nodding his head, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pulling me into him. I smiled widely at him, curling up and snuggling into his side. He reached down, kissing the top of my head. I really have missed my best friend. What happened between us was soon pushed to the back of my mind. Asher was fidgeting, clearly not comfortable. I giggled, pulling away from him and getting to my feet. I looked at him, Asher smiling widely at me cause I moved which means he can do what he wants. He lay down on the sofa, rolling onto his side, his back against the back of the sofa, patting the space next to him. I lay down next to him, my back now to his front and he places his arm over my hip.

“That is better. Can I stay? Kate is out of town with friends for a couple of days plus I have missed you, we have a lot of snuggling to catch up with.” He chuckled in my ear. 

She was always out of town, must be great. I work my ass off and can barely afford one night away. She has never worked a day in her life and manages to go out of town at least three times a month. Asher the one that pays for it. I am beginning to wonder if she has a bit on the side, maybe that is too harsh, surely she wouldn’t do that to him?

“Yes, of course, you can. And as punishment for ignoring me for two, weeks you are gonna lay here with me for the next few hours and watch rom-coms. I know how much you love them.” I said smugly. 

I see him screw his face up and roll his eyes. The boy hated rom-coms…when I say hate…I mean hate.

“Fine, only cause I love you.” He chuckled. 

“You know the score, Ash.” I said winking at him. 

I always win when it comes to him. I know how to wrap him around my finger, have done since I was six years old.

“I swear you are the only person in this world than can get anything they want from me.” he chuckled. 

“I know.” I said smiling proudly. 

He chuckled loudly, pushing my hair away from my eyes. I prodded his nose before turning my attention back to the T.V. Asher laughed, pulling me in close to him and I let out a small moan…opps. That was not meant to happen. It is OK though. I don’t think he heard it and if he did he never said anything about it.

I was happy laying here with my best friend. I always love our movie nights. We always make sure to do it once a week, so missed it these last two weeks. I feel him place a gentle kiss on my shoulder. 

“I really I am sorry Bambi.” He whispered. 

“It is OK. It is done and dusted.” I said giving his hand a squeeze. 

I was glad we were OK, back to normal and not letting one night ruin everything for us.
