"Hey baby." I kissed Twan as he walked through the front door.

"Hey." He kissed me back. "I got something to tell you." I didn't worry, because he always talks to me like this.

"Yeah." We sat down on the couch.

"Okay, don't freak. But can a stay here for basically the next week or two?"

"Why would I freak over that?" I giggled.

"Well you see. I may or may not have let this girl live in my apartment until she contacts her friends and gets some money to leave. But I told her that I would be at my girlfriend's place anyway." He explained. For some reason. I wasn't mad. A little upset for his stupidity. But not mad

"Twan. I'm not mad." He looked up with confusion.

"Did I hear you right?" I chuckled.

"Yes, I mean. I'm a little upset for your stupidity, but otherwise. I don't think I'm mad. As long as you stay here." He just stared at me, the smiled.

"I'm so glad I get to call you mine." We shared a kiss again.

"You wanna know what I'm just noticing?" I smirked.

"What?"

"Your French accent is wearing off a bit. I can so hear that American accent creepy through. You will be French American."

"What? Nooooo. I love my French accent. But it doesn't really feel I have an accent. You have an accent to me."

"Because I'm from here. And I have no idea what you're talking about. I sound like a regular American. I don't have an accent. You have an accent."

"Whatever. We both have an accent. Fair?"

"Fair." We shook on it.

"Mommy." I turned around and saw a sleepy Aidan.

"Why hello mr sleepy." I ruffled his hair.

"I'm hungry."

"Wanna go out to eat?" Twan suggested.

"Sure, Aidan, do you want to go out to eat?" He nodded rapidly. "Okay, let's go get dressed."

~~~

Thoughts, emotions, confusion, everything! It all rang through my head. It doesn't make any since.

Lilly. Doesn't show up for Christmas. Then randomly shows up here with her hair dyed and every thing else different about her. EVEN HER EYES WERE DIFFERENT!

For fuck sake.

What the hell actually happened?

"AHHHHHHHHH." I kicked the coffee table over.

I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. I'm getting to the bottom of this shit.

Hi, you've reached Lilly Dale. Try texting me or call again, leave a voice message too. Bye.

I decided I was gonna leave a voice mail.

"Lilly, it's Ashton. Come home. We need to really talk. I'll be at the apartment until seven tonight." The beeping thing went off saying I was out of time.

Now we wait. Right?

I mean I could do something. I could clean? No. The place is clean enough. Besides this coffee table.

I picked it back up and put it in the right spot. Good things it's not glass.

I guess I'll watch some tv until she comes. If she comes.

Lilly, it's Ashton. Come home. We need to really talk. I'll be at the apartment until seven tonight

I listened to the voice message Ashton sent me.

"Was that him?"

"Yeah. It was nothing though. He said he was confused and hurt. Nothing else." I lied.

"Lilly baby. Come here." I wrapped my arms in his. "Soon this will be over, and we can be together." I nodded.

"I'm going to the hideout. You gonna come."

"Not right now."

"Suit yourself. I'll see you later tonight, unless you stay at Twan's apartment."

"I might stay there tonight. Investigate a little." I said.

"Good thinking. See you tomorrow." We kissed and he left.

I just realized something.

Why the hell am I doing this to Ashton? Beside I love my boss? The hell is wrong with me exactly? I should tell Ashton everything.

But I tell him about my boss, he's gonna be so mad.

Ashton hasn't seen him in years.
