My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 47

I wasn't really irritated, of course. He was happy and so I was. The car kept on moving until it stopped in front of a hotel. We got out of the car and entered the hotel.

"I have to use the washroom, go to the counter, and take the room card"

"Alright"

He smiled and then I went to the reception and asked for the room card. He had told me the number that is 265 earlier only.

The woman gave me the card and I was about to go, just before I saw someone.

No.

THIS IS... impossible.

Chris?

Chris

I was at the hotel reception in Paris, as I came here with Heather. Heather wanted to go to Paris suddenly, and she also booked the tickets herself for both of us! Well, it is okay, she has major mood swings anyway.

I was taking the room card from the reception in the hotel when suddenly I felt someone's eyes on me. I turned around and saw... Ashley.

I was really shocked and numb for a moment. She looked at me with the same blank emotions; I never expected her to be here. I mean, out of all countries, and out of all cities, and then out of all hotels... is it a coincidence? Can it be?

I was gonna go to her when I heard Heather.

I turned around and she smiled at me.

"Anything wrong, Chris?"

"Nah"

"Then let's go. Have you taken the card?"

"Yup"

"Okay"

She smiled and took my hand. Then she took my hand to her face and kissed it. "Let's go"

I nodded and started moving. Somewhere everything happening in front of her didn't seem right. But I had to do it... or I made a choice to do it. Cause I can't just stop or leave someone. I should not be confused by my own feelings. Fuck, how can I forget what she did to me? She fucking cheated on me! Oh God, I literally was forgetting it looking at her face!

"Why are you asking me?" she laughed.

"Oh, I thought otherwise, what if you think, see we came all the way here, to sleep!"

She laughed. "Ah, you are so cute. Why would I think that? Now come on, let's sleep"

I smiled and she switched off the light. Then she laid beside me and slept in my arms.

Vincent

I came back and saw her staring at something. I looked in the direction of her eyes and saw it was not something, but someone. Chris. That Chris.

I went to her and found out that her eyes were moistened. Why Ashley? Am I not loving you enough?

I knew maybe it was because people take time getting over their past relationships so I totally understand it. I took her hand and then we went to our room.

She was suddenly sad and all the happiness from her face has faded. I know she thinks I don't know and even if I will ask her, she is not gonna tell me. I don't want to force her to open up to me.

I sat beside her and she looked at me and smiled. I knew it was a fake one, but I kept a hand on her face and smiled back.
