The unlocked door didn’t surprise Due as she entered her house. There were only a handful of people who knew where the spare key to her house was and by the person’s smell, she could tell who it was.
“Have some decency and let me know the next time you barge.”
She rolled her eyes and placed the bowls of food she stocked up from her parent’s place on the counter.
“And have you tell me to come over another time?” Ashina huffed.
It wouldn’t be the first time Due told her to come over another time whilst she was having s*x with someone. Ashina had indeed lost count of how many times it happened to the point that she just started barging in and caught her in the act a few times.
“What did you bring back?”
She asked as she rushed to the kitchen, peeping into the sealed bowls of food.
There were containers of stew and meats and others. But basically meat all the way.
“Oh, yh. What happened to that guy?” Ashina asked with clear interest.
“Which guy? I know quite a lot of them.”
“Lyall of course. I have to admit… He’s one heck of an eye candy.” Ashina bellowed, her eyes glinting with an appreciation for him. He was handsome, that went without saying and Due was well aware of it, but she also found him a bit irritating.
“Dad wants to see him.”
“That goes without saying.”
Due nodded, taking the food out of the microwave. She sat on the floor in front of the center table in the living room with Ash right opposite her and the food on the table.
"By the way, What’re you going to do about Eric?”
A grin spread on her lips at the dejected look o Ash’s face at the mention of the doctor.
“He still thinks of me as a kid.”
“Well, it’s not as if that’s a lie.” Due spoke with a mouthful. It was truly a pity. Although Ash didn’t care that Eric was way older, it wasn’t the same for him.
“He’s not that old.” Ash rolled her eyes.
“Honestly, he looks a lot younger than his age.”
“Exactly!” Ash exclaimed jabbing the spoon she was holding in Due’s face.
Ashina had been in love with Eric since her teens and she was already in her mid-twenties. It wasn’t that Eric wasn’t aware of her feelings. He would notice it even if he was blind since she never tried to hide it. In fact, she was persistent at every chance that she got.
Sadly, he still saw her as a kid. Which was truly heartbreaking.
“And he’s not that older than me.” Ash retorted causing Due to shake her head.
“When you were 10, he was what?.... 26?” She mocked.
“That’s inaccurate. Besides, I’m a full-grown adult now! There is no need to bring up the past me. We've all been kids before. And It's not as if I'm a virgin. He doesn't have t act as if he'd defile me or something.”
“Tried seducing him again?” Due asked with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
“I don’t know if he’s gay or he’s blind, seriously!”
Due burst out laughing, causing Ash to frown harder the louder she laughed. Without a doubt, she had tried everything she could to seduce the man, but he either scolded her or stared at her blankly, making her embarrassed each time. She even got herself drunk to tempt him and it all ended up being futile.
“Ha ha, keep laughing.” Ash rolled her eyes chugging down a bottle of water.
“I’m sorry but, are you sure you didn’t make a clown of yourself instead. I mean, we both know he’s neither gay nor blind. And he can clearly get it up too. At least, I know a few people that prove how straight he is.”
Ashina was well aware that Eric was neither gay nor impotent. She knew a few of his exes and even who he was currently with.
Was it despicable of her to want a man who already had someone? Probably!
But she could care less about that. It wasn't as if he was mated to either of them too.
Still, how could she take it like that when he never paid attention to her.
She was beautiful and she knew it. She didn’t have a nasty personality. At least she didn't think that she did.
“The only excuse he keeps giving is that I’m a kid.” She dejectedly sighed.
“At least he didn’t out rightly reject you.” Due tried to console her friend. “Or you can go for someone else. That works too.”
Ashina looked at her as if she had gone mad and said, “Have you seen the man? Who else should I go for?” She snorted.
Eric was handsome, kind, sweet, and strict in an oddly attractive way. Even without trying, just being near him made Ashina’s heart tremble and made her unable to look at anyone else. She had waited for god knows how many years to make him her mate but always ended up getting rejected by him.
She couldn’t seduce him, and couldn’t make him love her too. Although he didn’t hate her, she could feel a wall between them whenever she tried to get closer and it made her feel as though she couldn’t do anything to get closer to him.
"Why don't we try kidnapping him? We can drug him too. At least you'd get to f**k him." Due suggested, looking as though she wouldn't blink and would help her the moment she tried.
"He'd hate me if I did that."
"So you've thought of that?!" Due exclaimed, her eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
"Of course I have! But he'd want nothing to do with me if I did that. He'd probably cut all ties with me." Ashina sighed, She could wait a bit if that's what it took. Hell, she didn't mind having to go around in circles a few times or never ending up with him. But what she couldn't endure was him cutting all ties with her as if the many years she had known him were never real. "I need a drink."
“Then Let’s go out tonight. It’s been a while.”
Even though her mood was not that great, she smiled at the suggestion with a long sigh wondering if she looked that pitiful, still she nodded her head agreeing to the suggestion.
“What about Tyler?” Ashina asked. After coming back, they hadn’t seen him.
“Just send him a text… never mind, I’ll do it.” Due mumbled, sending a text to Tyler.
*Up for drinks tonight*
It took a few minutes for her to get a reply.
*That’s sudden*
*What’s so sudden about that? Don’t tell me you don’t want to*
* Of course, I’m going. But aren’t you the one with stitches on her waist? Do you want your dad to tear me to pieces?*
Due lightly scoffed then replied.
