The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

“Dada take photo,” Ashton giggles smacking his palm on the photo frame.

He smacked it again, giggling louder.

I gnaw on my lips as I continue to scrutinize the photo.

My hair had been left in a bit of messy curls that day and I had tuck a few behind my ears, revealing th side of my face he captured.

“I suppose he did Ash,” I whispered, not sure how to feel about this.

I remember this day specifically. It was my birthday and Aiden had taunted me about how much of a baby I was when he threw my cupcake Mila brought for me and I cried.

I had later gone to the field and sat down to study to take my mind off his taunts and the fact that I hadn’t gotten a chance to taste Mila’s cupcake.

I knew I felt a peircing stare on me the entire time, but didn’t bother to turn to look. I was after all on the field and it could’ve been any one of the boys.

Turns out….it was Aiden after all.

I wonder why he took that photo?

And even more confused on why he kept it with him. He even framed it.

I place the picture frame back in the draw and closed it. Lifting my hand, I bit the ends of my nails as I contemplated if to call him and ask him about this or not.

I shook my head.

No…

I probably shouldn’t. He did mention there was a crisis at work, I shouldn’t disturb him for such trivial things.

But then…

He hasn’t called yet to notify me that he got there safe and it has been more than thirty minutes since he left….

I groan.

Did he really need to notify me about such things though?

We are a couple, and couples do these things right?

I smacked my head, startling Ashton.
