My Atypical Wolf (BL)-Chapter 315 - 315 Like Tomorrow [Bonus chapter]
315 Like Tomorrow [Bonus chapter]
After coming back to the office, Ashton parted his ways with most of them. As he went back to his shared office (for the moment, due to renovation) he tried his level best to ignore what happened this morning and focus on his work so that he could leave early. He had a lot of documents that needed to be processed, and he really needed it done by the evening.
However, when your head is distracted by something else, it is not really that easy to focus? Is it? No matter how much, he could still hear the muddy wolf screaming at him from earlier. Most of the conversation they had was inherently telepathic, so there was no way anyone else would have noticed the chaos of it earlier. Not to mention, Ashton hid it pretty well. He simply worried that Caleb might have also seen what he saw, and later on Caleb might bring it up, even though nothing has come up yet from Caleb’s side. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
He was unknowingly staring at the computer screen for ten minutes straight when a can was placed on the table in front of him. Ashton’s eyes refocused in the present and he looked up to see that it was none other than Melanie who brought him a can of cold coffee. Taken aback, Ashton still mumbled. “Thanks.”
“No problem.” Melanie shrugged. “I don’t know exactly what happened after we all stepped out, but from what it seems it wasn’t that easy.”
Ashton simply nodded, unwilling to continue the conversation with her any further.
Sensing his discomfort Melanie approached his table, “Here, let me show you a trick of doing this the faster way.” she smirked and turned his laptop to face her. She showed him an app that would tabulate the data along with the calculations he had been doing manually for a while. All Ashton needed to do was copy paste from it. “There you go.” she shrugged and left, to take a seat at her own table, in that same office.
After a few minutes, Ashton cheered. “Okay, this is definitely much faster. Thanks for this.”
“No problem.” Melanie shrugged. “Oh, and George asked me when you’d be available to take him to the precinct?”
“Not today.” Ashton informed her. “I’ll see if I can find a proper window tomorrow.” he added. She nodded and got back to her own work.
.....
Thanks to the simple help, Ashton was done much faster than he was hoping for. In fact he even managed to get over the backlog he had due to his distraction. Once he was done, he mailed the entire thing to Christian and linked him to inform him as he was about to leave. Christian verified the entire thing, and allowed him to leave seeing that Ashton had indeed finished his task for the day.
Ashton headed for his home, after checking the time on his clock, which was barely four. Seeing that it was still quite early, Ashton rejoiced. He headed back home only to find it much more chaotic than he had predicted. The TV was playing at loud volume and the girls were running around, while his mother was nowhere to be seen. So under whose supervision the kids were? His sisters, who were back for some reason. “What’s going on?” he couldn’t help but ask the crowd.
“Hey Ashton,” Ava chuckled, while tickling Ivy and laughing in the process.
“Let me go”! Amidst her chuckles, Ivy shouted. Since when did the girls bond with his sister? He wondered. Then again, Ava was a very social person, in contrast to him or even her own twin Ariel. Seeing how Ava was too distracted to chat, he approached Ariel who was actually playing video games with Connor.
Seeing Ashton approach them, Ariel took a pause and excused herself. “What’s going on? You guys are here?”
“This is our home, are you kicking us out?” Ariel smirked.
“No! That is not what I mean.” Ashton defended immediately.
“I know what’s going on here.” Ariel shrugged. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
“Huh?” Ashton was a bit confused.
“Yeah, it’s all over the news. The rampant murders of crescent point.” She shrugged. “Knowing how good luck we had, we couldn’t help but wonder what’s going on, so we came home.” Ariel shrugged. “Besides, mom told me that you two lovebirds are way too busy to even plan your wedding.” she scoffed.
“What about that?” Ashton frowned.
“Ashton, I have already bought my dress. If you keep postponing your plans of planning your wedding, I might not even fit in them,” Ariel snarled. “Do you have any idea how long it’s been since you got together? Just tie the knot already”! She huffed.
“As much as I would love to, I really don’t have time to plan.” Ashton argued.
“Well, we will help you.” Ava, who appeared out of nowhere, smiled with glee.
“What?” Ashton was taken aback.
“We get it, your plates are full.” Ava rolled her eyes dramatically, “Which is why we thought we would help you out.”
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Ashton wondered, unsure of how he felt about these girls planning his wedding.
“Caleb thought so.” Ava shrugged. “In fact he hired us to be your wedding planner.” she smirked.
“Yepp.” Ariel seconded.
“Wow…” Ashton gulped not knowing what to say. Clearly Caleb forgot to mention this.
“Don’t worry my dear brother, we know what you like.” Ava huffed.
“Yeah! I mean we knew you liked Caleb even before you knew you liked him.” Ariel teased along.
“Don’t worry, we’ll make it pretty boring and not at all fancy. Just the way you like it.” Ava carried along. “All you have to do is show up.”
Ashton simply let out a groan in response to that. “You guys are crazy.” he shook his head. “Do you even have time to do this? Don’t you have your respective….stuff to do?”
“I just submitted my thesis, I have the time off for like two weeks.” Ariel shrugged.
“And I really don’t need to be present for my education. I have got enough credit scores to take a much needed leave.” Ava smirked.
“Two weeks?” Ashton chuckled. “When are you planning for this wedding?”
“We were thinking…. Like tomorrow?” Ava shrugged.
