Chapter 8

Two weeks later…

“Ashley!” Trevor called out. “Telephone.”

“Ugh.” He sighed. “Coming.”

Makayla groaned.

“You have to get up Kayla.” Ashley said.

“But I’m comfortable.” She whined.

“The sooner I get up the sooner I’ll be back.” He told her.

“Fine.” She said untangling her limbs from Ashley’s.

“Be right back.” He said kissing her forehead.

Makayla smiled. Her life was perfect. Ever since the night of the party she and Ashley had become inseparable. Dan and Chloe also hit it off and had gone on a few dates.

Ashley walked back into the room grinning from ear to ear.

“You look happy.” She commented.

“Guess who that was.” Ashley said sitting down next to her.

“Justin Timberlake?” she asked.

Ashley shook his head. “Clive Davis.”

“He knows how to use a phone? I didn’t think they were around when he was alive.” Makayla said.

“Seriously Kayla. He called about you.” Ashley told her.

Makayla looked surprised. “About me?”

Ashley nodded. “I gave our producers some of your songs and they gave them to Mr. Davis and….”

“You what?!” Makayla said jumping up from the couch.

Ashley looked at her confused. “I had him look at your songs.”

“Ashley! Those were private!” she shouted.

“Calm down sweetie.” He said standing up.

“Don’t sweetie me! I can’t believe you did that.” Makayla said angrily.

“Look, he liked the songs.” Ashley told her.

“That’s not the point. I asked you not to show the lyrics to anyone and you did!” she continued. “How am I supposed to trust you anymore?”

“Makayla come on now.” He said. “You can trust me. I care about you.”

“That’s what I thought.” She said heading to the door.

Ashley followed her. “Where are you going?”

“I can’t be here right now.” Makayla said opening the door.

“Makayla.” He said grabbing her arm.

She broke away. “Ashley, don’t. I’ll talk to you later.”

And with that she walked out the door.
