Surprised visit

Ashley woke up feeling excited knowing that her one month trial was over. She stood up from her bed and went to her bathroom to take her bath. Relaxing in the bathtub she scrub and scented her body, singing happily as she knew she was no longer going to marry Dave.

She finally stepped out wrapped in her towel and she walked out back to her room to dress up.

She stared at the gown she already brought out to wear as she dried her body. She thought about it and thought if she should rather wear back her cloth that she had initially come with.

She sighed and decided to wear the gown that she had already brought out. She woked up late though as she had overslept from the previous night sob and overfeeding.

She wore her pant, bra and slide into the beautiful red gown that had part of her cleavage exposed a little. She brushed her long wet hair and packed it into a bun. After she was thru she walked towards the shelf to see if she hadn't forgotten anything.

She saw the photo Dave had given her to keep. The photo had his mom, and a man and her baby drawn on it and she assumed the baby was Dave, making her to wonder if Mr Jeff was really Dave's father as the man on the photo wore same marriage attire as Dave's mother.

She sighed and picked up the photo. She stared at it and decided to take it along with her as she knew Dave might be angry if he saw the photo there on the drawer as he had given her to photo to keep.

She walked back to her box and put the photo as the center zip before locking back her box. She stared around the beautiful room and sighed and she dragged down her box as she had already arranged all her thing inside of it.

She walked out to the parlour and meet Helen arranging back the seat as she was already thru mopping the floor.

"Good morning ma'am," Helen greeted her

"Good morning Helen," Ashley responded faintly. "I will be going back home today I hope you're aware about it?," she asked Helen.

"Yes, but wouldn't you have your breakfast before leaving?," Helen asked her as she stared with sad eyes, not happy that Ashley was finally leaving. She had thought the beautiful lady would marry her boss after all their intense making out.

"Okay, let me have a little meal and contact Lexi, he will be here to pick me," Ashley replied Helen as she kept her box near a couch in the parlour and walk over to the dinning table to have her breakfast.

She sat down and brought out her phone to dial Lexi's contact and just then she heard the sound of the car parking in front of the apartment.

She knew Dave didn't return back and she swallowed and hope the car parking outside of the apartment wasn't Dave's.

Lexi came down from the car and walked towards the entrance of the apartment. The guards at the front of Dave's apartment immediately stopped him.

"Good morning sir, but you're not allowed to go into the apartment." One of the guard told Lexi.

"Why?. Isn't this Dave's home or don't you know me?," Lexi told the guard whom stopped him.

"That's the instruction given to us by boss ." The guard replied.

"Okay let me call Dave then and where's Ashley am sure you're aware she's leaving today," Lexi said to the guard whom kept mute not responding. He walked back to the entrance and stood watching as Lexi brought out his phone and contact Dave.

Thomas and Luke came out from the mansion to take a stroll. Obviously the previous night, Thomas had gone to his father to inform him that he really wanted to marry Ashley and Mr Jeff had told him that unless Ashley agrees to marry him, he cannot talk to his friend about it. Thomas sighed as he came out with Luke.

They were both surprised to see a car parked in front of Dave's apartment and the car wasn't Dave's car.

"Who's that?," Thomas questioned and Luke respond, "I think i have seen him somewhere before, let's find out what he want," They both walked up to the house to meet Lexi at the front.

Ashley was inside having her breakfast which was just tea and bread. She sat on the dining expecting Dave to step into the parlour but even as the clock ticked, no one came in.

She had tried calling Lexi's number but the phone wasn't reachable and age was told, "This user is on another call. Do hold or call back later."

Ashley sighed and continued eating her breakfast peaceful.

Lexi called Dave's number for the fourth time and he picked, just as Thomas and Luke approached him.

"Hello Dave, what's up?. You don't want my sister to leave your house. Come-on talk to your boys they don't wanna allow me go into the house," Lexi told Dave over on the phone.

"Hmm.. Give the guard the phone," Dave cold respond and Luke and Thomas both stared at themselves. When did Mr Dot have a son they didn't know about.

As Lexi turned to hand over his phone to the guard, he meet Thomas and Luke that were standing behind him before.

"Hold on," Lexi said and he walked passed Thomas and went to hand over the phone to the guard.

"Let him in, he's there to take Ashley home." Dave instructed the guard and ended the call and the guard finally handed over the phone back to Lexi.

"You can go in," The guard told Lexi whom replied "Okay."

"Are you Mr Dot son?," Thomas questioned with surprise and Lexi only smiled.

"Good morning Thomas, nice meeting you and Luke right?," Lexi shook hands with them.

"Why haven't we seen you or heard of you?," Thomas questioned.

"Is a long story, I stay mostly at the red eagles or visit the blacks," Lexi replied.

"Oh!, I see," Thomas hummed. "So you're here to take Ashley home?," he asked Lexi.

"Yes, I have to go now, still have a lot of work to do at the warehouse, see you later Mr Thomas and Luke," Lexi quickly walked passed them and went to open the entrance door.

Thomas knew if he followed Lexi in, the guard would stop him, so he decided to wait by Lexi's car, for Ashley to come out, as he stood discussing with Luke.

Lexi knocked on the entrance door and Helen wondered who was knocking. She stood up from the couch and went to check who was that and opening the door and seeing an unfamiliar male standing by the door, she swallowed as she stared at him.

Lexi also stared at her and was lost at word for a moment. He nodded and shook his head, "Humm is Ashley in?" he asked the lady staring at him.

"Ehm yes, who're you?" Helen shyly questioned him as she blinked.

Lexi eyes narrowed as he stared at her, he walked into the parlour and before Helen could stop him Ashley already spotted him and screamed, "Lexi!." And she stood up from her dinning seat as she was about to dial his number again and was already thru eating her breakfast. She rushed out to him and big him.

Lexi was surprised seeing Ashley wearing gown at first, he wondered whom was the beauty that sat on the dinning seat and called him, but hearing the familiar voice he was so stunned to believe Ashley was actually the one hugging him.

"Miss you big bro," Ashley said to him as she finally pulled away from the hug.

"Can't believe this is you Ashley, you have changed," Lexi said and Ashley only blushed.

"Helen bring my box," she told Helen as she turned to walk out still holding her phone.

"Wow, Ashley!" Lexi hummed still surprise to see how the red gown hugged her body tight and brought out all her feminine curve.

Ashley ignored his surprised look and catwalk out from the apartment as she was still wearing her black boot, she walked out from the apartment and stood by the balcony waiting for Lexi to come out and take her home.
