The Slap

Thomas whom had just returned back from his White Copper entertainment house was supposed to went in straight and change his business black suit, but because he has seen Ashley, he held his briefcase and kept it to a side table, while he took a seat across to Ashley and his mother, and he continued staring at Ashley, while his mother spoked to her.

"Dear, are you sure, you wouldn't mind having anything? I prepared our favorite eastern native soup and you will like it, if you taste it" Mrs Jeff said sweetly to Ashley whom kept a polite face.

"Thank you ma, but I have already eaten before I came out of the house," Ashley calmly told her, even though she was hungry, but she would never ate in someone's house, not when the person is gawking at her too.

"Oh, that's fine then, we were about having our lunch that's why I asked you to join us." Mrs Jeff offered, but Ashley shook her head and replied, "Thank you ma, I really appreciate, but am already filled"

Thomas immediately took sides with her even though no one asked him too, and he said, "Mother, you seem to care too much. Ashley's already filled, so why not ask me if I am hungry instead?."

Thomas smiled at his mother, and she smiled back at him and replied to Ashley instead as she said, "Don't mind him, Thomas has his own house, but he wouldn't stopped coming here and bothering me,"

Ashley only smiled as she didn't replied and Thomas questioned his mother,. "Are you chasing me away now mother?."

Thomas stood up and he said, "Fine am going in and leaving you two alone."

Thomas walked towards the stairs and he climbed on it and went upstairs while Ashley breathed out in relief and Mrs Jeff smiled to her and said, "Don't mind Thomas, he just seems to like you to."

Ashley only smiled and Mrs Jeff said, "Am coming my dear, let me hurry up and eat my lunch since you said you have already eaten."

Mrs Jeff stood up from the couch in the living room and she walked over to the dinning table to took her seat while Ashley sat and continued to looked around their interior decorations, as she sat comfortable on the couch and waited for Mrs Jeff to be thru.

Few minutes later, Mrs Jeff hasn't returned from the dinning room, and Ashley relaxed her back on the couch waiting as she didn't wanted to exit their mansion rudely.

Later Thomas came downstairs wearing a short nikka and a singlet top, and he smiled to Ashley, as she met his gazed too but, Ashley quickly looked away from him.

"You are really looking beautiful today, Luckily for me, my brother isn't around to admire you" Thomas said as he finally came downstairs and approached Ashley where she sat. Then he sat near her on the same couch that she was sitting upon.

Ashley shifted a little away, to kept a few distancing between them and to avoided his body from touching hers, and Thomas stood up and went up to the double -door standing fridge, opening it, he brought out a bottle of wine and two glass cup.

Coming back to sat beside Ashley again, Thomas kept the glass cup on a side stool and pulled it to his front while he opened the wine and poured it into the glass cup, filling them.

"Am not tasty," Ashley told him but he kept quiet filling the two cups, he picked one and drank, and started talking, "Am happy my father is alive and healthy, he has to retrace his step before he finally dies" Thomas said drinking from the wine cup he was holding and staring at Ashley.

Ashley didn't said anything, as she was quiet and didn't picked up the second glass cup, even though she knew Thomas was also rich and wealthy, she didn't seem to care or feared him, besides her father too was also rich, if not that he was forcing her into marriage with Dave, she wouldn't be there.

"You don't want to try the wine?, It sweet" Thomas said, as he refilled his cup again.

"Am fine, thank you" Ashley replied him and stood up, not wanting to sat closer to him again.

"Or is it Dave that told you not to collect anything from us?" Thomas asked her, staring at her, from the corner of the glass cup he held to his mouth.

"No, why would he?" Ashley replied him and looked away from him as she walked a bit away.

Thomas eyes travelled to her bossom, looking at her huge bossom that was partly exposed in the open cleavage top that she was wearing, as her boobs was big and round and for a moment he seemed lost, imagining what he would do to the two round balls on top of her chest.

Ashley turned, wanting to leave their mansion as she was already bored and irritated sitting down there with Thomas, and he noticed she wanted to leave, so he stopped her, "Are you leaving now when we haven't even gotten to know ourselves better?."

"It not necessary, besides we are not just meeting for the first time," Ashley replied.

"Really? But then you were still younger, I never imagined you will be this endowed" Thomas said pointing at her physic.

"Yeah, you right. I didn't think you will be like this too either" Ashley replied as she turned and wanted to leave, but Thomas immediately stood up and rushed to her.

"Wait!" Thomas stopped her as he tried to hold her hand, but Ashley pulled her hand away and turned to face him, as she didn't seemed to have any crush on him again like how she used to admired him before in the past, when they were still younger. As she used to admired him then and had a crush on him, while smiling to him sweetly whenever her father brought her to Mr Jeff former mansion but that was before her mother died.

Ashley looked at him sternly as wanted him to knew that she was no longer that small and naive little girl whom used to smile sweetly whenever him or any of his brother Luke and Brown, used to talk to her and her sister then.

Ashley shook her head remembering how she told her junior sister then that she likes Thomas, but right now, she seemed to hated him and disliked him too. Even though he was a bit handsome and masculine as a man, he wasn't still in her interest again.

"What do you want to say?" Ashley asked him as she looked at Thomas sternly.

"Are you angry with me now?" Thomas asked her in response., while Ashley blankly replied to him, "No, I just want to return back to Dave's apartment."

"What's so special about Dave?. I thought is just an arrange marriage between you both, and after one month of living with him, if you don't seem to like him, you can call a quit or cancel the marriage plan." Thomas said

"You are right, so what?" Ashley asked him, still looking at him sternly, and Thomas smiled brighten as he drew more closer to her, as she stood staring at him, and he spoked to her, standing an inch closer to her, Thomas said, "I really like you though.. As am thinking if you do not like Dave, you can at least give me a chance to prove my love to you."

"..." Ashley was quiet.

"Am serious, I really like you" Thomas said, crossing the line between them as he wanted to kissed Ashley and proved his feelings to her, but Ashley slapped him hard across on his face and pushed him backward, startling both Thomas, his mother and younger brother Luke whom had just gotten into their living room too.

"Don't you dare to try to kiss me next time!" Ashley warned and was about stepping out when Thomas got angry and drew her back, by her hand, dragging her hands forcibly backwards and making her body to collided with his chest at the forceful impact.

"How dare you raise you filthy hand to slap me, is it because I said to you that I like you?" Thomas asked her angrily, as he shook her abruptly, and his mother screamed at him, "Thomas stop it! you will hurt her."

"No mother, what's she feeling like?. I haven't even kissed her yet and she slapped me, at least, let me kiss her now and know that I got it in exchange for the slap" Thomas said out, sternly looking at Ashley whom he roughly held by her arms and pulling her closer to hugged his chest.

Luke stood staring at them speechlessly, and watching the scene in front of him, as he was lost at how seductively hot Ashley dressed, and also more surprised to saw her in their mansion. And he wondered, "Whom brought her in here?."
