Torn Between Twin Brothers - Chapter 37

Akira and Ava were both standing with their hands on their mouths while in shock, looking at all of the dirty clothes that had flown all over the place. Ashton, who just came out of the mini kitchen with drinks in both of his hands, accidentally dropped it on the floor as he tried to run and help pick up the articles of clothing on the floor as it landed.

The sounds of the glass breaking could be heard all the way to the bodyguards’ room, and they quickly ran out to check what’s happening.

The most embarrassing moment of Ava’s life was when Ashton held one of her training bras, that landed on his head, trying to hand it to her. She didn’t know if she should accept it or run back to her room and forget about everything.

Ashton turned to the other members then glared, telling them to turn around as if they didn’t see anything. The other members understood, in unison, all turned around acted as if they didn’t care whatever happened one way or the other.

Pearl quickly got up and helped to pick up the dirty laundry. Then, one by one, she and Ashton put it back in the basket. Meanwhile, Ava and Akira just stood there, unable to utter a word nor move… Due to the shock that they were in.

Mary and Pisces helped to pick up the remaining of the laundry before Mary took the basket with her to the laundry room.

“Are both of you alright?” Pisces asked Akira and Ava. Both out of their mind. Ava covered her face before turning around so fast to return to her room.

Akira, still in shock, looked at Pisces almost in tears. “I’m fine, but I’m not sure about Ava. What should I do? It was all my fault. I was rushing and bumped into her. Ohhh, how embarrassing.” She mumbled, still shaken from the aftermath.

Pisces embraced the young girl while caressing her back, “Shhh, she will be fine. Go ahead and entertain the guests while I will go and check on her. Go!” She then pushed Akira towards the living room.

Brian and Cain got up and went to the mini kitchen to look for a broom and dustpan to clean up the broken glasses. Meanwhile, Dion and Shain just stayed put. Ashton and Pearl continued standing, both lost in thought.

A moment later, after a long conversation with Ava, Pisces was able to coax her to come out of her room and join her friends in the living room. Slowly, she made her way out while looking at her feet as she walked towards where everyone was chatting away as if nothing happened.

Finally, she stopped at the threshold and took a quick breath, put on a simple smile, and continued on.

“Hello everyone! I bet it was a shocker to you guys when you all saw all my undergarments flying all over the place.” Ava joked, trying not to show how ashamed she was of what had happened.

“What undergarments are you talking about?” Replied Ashton while looking around.

“I have no idea what she’s talking about. Dang! And I missed the good part?” Brian bantered, playing innocent.

Everyone started laughing out loud while talking at the same time. This made the living room seem more like a market.

Once that was settled, Ava took a seat next to Pearl, who was seated next to Ashton while Akira was on his other side. He wanted to move next to Ava, but there was no more room. So he bent over towards Pearl to whisper something, “Miss Pearl, would you mind switching seats with me? I just have to speak to Miss Ava about something.”

Hearing Ashton’s sweet voice, Pearl didn’t think anything of it and swiftly got up to change seats. She decided to sit at the end of the sofa where Cain and Shain were seated. They happily welcomed her and began chatting as soon as she sat down.

However, Brian, Dion, and Akira’s brows raised when they saw what Ashton had done before chuckling silently.

Ashton could care less, while Ava shyly looked down at her feet instead of at him as he sat down next to her. Unknown to him that her mind was far away, she was thinking about big brother, that’s why she didn’t even realize that Pearl and he had changed seats.

“Hello! I hope you don’t mind that I switched seats with Miss Pearl.” Ashton tried to make Ava feel at ease. But, when Ava only continued looking at her feet, Ashton didn’t know what else to say afterward. So the two only sat there, not saying a word while everyone else was busy chatting along.

When Ava was still not saying anything when a moment passed by, Ashton decided to ask her for a walk in the garden behind their villa. He slowly bent closer to her and quietly whispered so no one could hear. “It’s kind of cramped here with all of us in one room; how about we get fresh air in your garden. What do you say?”

Ava then jerked, finally looked up, and looked at him straight in the eye. She remembered what big brother said about the lead singer being his friend; because of that, she agreed to go out and get some fresh air with Ashton.

She only nodded and slowly got up without saying a word. So instead, she spoke to everyone, letting them know what they were going to do.

“Guys! Girls, we’re going to the garden to get some fresh air and will be right back.” She then left without waiting for anyone’s response. Ashton quickly stood up to follow Ava, who was already stepping out of the sliding door.

Everyone only looked at them for a moment before going back to chatting away with each other.

Ava was already seated on one of the chairs outside, deep in thought, when Ashton caught up with her. He sat on the chair next to her, instead of on the opposite side. He pulled it a little closer before sitting down.

As soon as Ashton sat down, “Ashton, do you play video games?” She asked seriously; her eyes were as bright as the sunshine looking at him innocently.

“Video games?” Repeated Ashton while drowning in Ava’s innocent and beautiful face…
