Heat (Step-brother romance)

Ashley arrived at home after her little date with Jay. Today seemed a bit off and Ashley couldn’t seem to brush it off. Before she had exited Jay’s car, she asked him if he was free to have one of those late-night calls they used to have but he quickly said that he was busy tonight, but the way he said it made Ashley a bit suspicious but she left it alone and exited the car.

As she entered the house, she was greeted with silence. “Hello, is anyone home?” She called out, but there was no reply. Ashley made her way upstairs as she stood in front of Jake’s bedroom door. “Jake, are you in there?” She asked while knocking on his door until he finally opened it with an annoyed look on his face. “What?” He asked, sounding as though he just woke up.

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you up, I thought the house was empty,” she said as Jake stood there with a blank look. “Okay, is that all?” He asked as Ashley stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. “Uh, yeah,” she replied, earning a door in her face, leaving her dumbfounded.

Ashley silently walked towards her room, where she entered, and immediately plop down on her bed. She stared at the ceiling wondering if Jake was still mad at what happened earlier, she didn’t understand why Jake hated Jay so much, but what she didn’t understand was Anna’s sudden change of attitude.

The last time she remembered Anna saying that she couldn’t stand her cousin and know she literally following her around like a lost puppy and not to mention, what had happened when she showed up this morning, she was drooling over Jake, which confused the hell out of Ashley because the last time Anna was over to her house, she looked like she could’ve killed Jake.

Ashley found herself overthinking to the point where she had fallen asleep.

Jake lay back down in his bed as his peaceful slumber was interrupted by Ashley. Just seeing her face made him remembered what happened when she left with Jay and that just pissed him off all over again. After Jay drove off, Jake went back into the house to release some stress by smoking. After almost covering his entire room with smoke, he fell asleep until Ashley came and ruined it.

Jake sighed loudly before a familiar ping caught his attention. He reached for his phone that was underneath the covers. It seems that Tatiana had sent him a text.

“Hey, Jake, are you coming to my party tonight, I hope to see you,” she texted as Jake rolled his eyes, “Hey, Tati, yeah I’m ma swing by your party,” he replied as the bubbles on the screen appeared almost immediately, “Yay, see you then, Jakey,” she replied as Jake’s nose scrunch at the sudden nickname before tossing his phone. He plopped down on his bed as a sigh left his lips.
