Ashton's POV
"Are you alright, Pritzgold?" Coach Davis yelled at after I stumbled on the ground hard after passing the ball to the wide receiver of our team, and I wonder why there is a big stone on the playground that we overlooked. I sprain my ankle, and it swelled imdiately, and I find it hard to move. Coach has no choice but to allow to be out from practice and asked Zachary to take ho. He advised to put so ice on it and elevate my ankle.
"Are you okay?" Zach asked the mont he gets inside the driver's seat of my car after he helped settled on my seat.
"No, I am not okay because I can't pick up gan. I hate that this is happening to right now when I have my chance to be with g because this is the only ti she allowed to take her on a date because of her busy schedule." I replied, and I saw Zach shaking his head.
"What?" I asked why he shook his head.
"I was asking about your ankle and not how you feel in your heart." He said as he drove away from the school ground.
"It hurts like hell, but I know once I put so ice into it, it will feel better. But my heart will never feel at ease knowing she was waiting for ." I replied and felt my phone vibrated on the pocket of my varsity jacket. I beca more frustrated when I saw gan's text that she was waiting for since she had finished her job for the day, and if I didn't injure my ankle, we could have a lot of ti enjoying our date, and maybe she will say yes after our date.
"Don't worry, I will pick her up after I send you ho," Zach replied, and my face lit up, but a scowl replaced it.
"I know you like her, Zach, and I hope you will not take gan away from ," I replied, and he laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked, and I couldn't contain my confusion.
"I couldn't believe you will beg not to take gan away from you. Do you think I have the edge? I know I am not ugly, but I am also aware I will never surpass your charm. For how many tis girls made heartbroken because they will co at , and I will find out at the end they want to hang out with because they only wanted to know you." Zach replied.
"I don't know what you are talking about, Zachary, but you have to promise you will never flirt with gan; you can take any girl except gan Corteza because she is mine," I said, and he shook His head again, and he looked at sideways because he returned his focus on the road.
"Okay, and I know gan is crazy about you, too." He said, and my eyes widened, and I suddenly forgot I sprained my ankle and groaned in pain when I moved my injured leg.
"Careful, buddy," Zach said.
"Are you sure gan likes too?" I asked, and he nodded his head.
"How did you know she likes , too?" I asked.
"I don't know." He replied, and I got frustrated with Zach's answer.
"Just a hunch, but I have an idea. I will ask gan to co into your house, and if she will co, it ans she likes you." Zach said, and it was my turn to shake my head.
"gan will never co with you, Zach. I know her. She won't unless I will beg her, because she is very allergic to our kind, and do you know that is the reason she doesn't want to date ? And I don't want her to co into our mansion because I can't hide our enormous house from her, and I can't move all our cars." I said, and this is the first ti I wish I weren't the son of Gregory Pritzgold.
"And why do you need to do that?" He asked.
"Because once she sees how big our mansion is, she will realize our status in life is so different from her. And I don't want her to stay away from since she is now starting to trust , and I can tell she is also beginning to like ." I replied.
"So, you don't want to see her?" Zach asked, and I suddenly got confused since I am dying to see her.
"Of course, I want to see her, but I am positive she will not visit in our house," I replied.
"Well, do you want to bet? I know gan will co with if I ask her to visit you." My best friend said, and I want to believe Zach that he can convince gan, but I don't want to get frustrated in the end, and I am already in physical injury right now, and I don't want to add an emotional pain.
"Thank you, bro, for driving ho and for picking up gan," I said after he helped settle in my bed and he put ice compressed on my ankle, and I felt glad Lennon helped him. Zachary left my room hastily, and I was punching my bed because of the frustrations that I felt.
"Hey, are you alright, Ashton? Are you really in deep pain? We can call an ambulance." My brother said after he wrapped an elastic bandage on my ankle.
"No need, Lennon. I am just frustrated that I couldn't pick up gan from her work." I replied, and my brother smiled.
"So, finally, the girl has a na." He said, and I chuckled.
"Of course, she has a beautiful na," I said.
"Are you dating the quiz baller, gan Corteza?" He asked as he looked at in the eyes, and I nodded with a wide grin on my face.
"No way, " He said.
"Why?" I asked my brother.
"Well, I used to see you with hot cheerleaders and rich girls, and I know gan is just a scholar in our school. I don't look down on her because I know she is not well off. I find it unusual for you to date soone like her." My brother replied, and I get his point.
"Yeah, but I want you to know she is way hotter than the cheerleaders, and yes, she may be different, but this is the first ti I felt this way to soone," I said, and my brother smiled.
"Good for you, Ashton, good luck with your love life, just call if you need anything, okay?" Lennon said, and I nodded. We have maids around the house, but mom always attends to all our needs, but mom and dad have a date on our yacht at the mont, so I need to rely upon my brothers. I was lying on my bed wishing Zachary will bring my girl with him, but I know it would be so impossible. But my heart was racing the mont Zach returned to my room and announced soone wanted to see . I can't control my happiness the mont I saw her beautiful face, and I can see the worried look on her lovely face as she walked closer to my bed, and I can no longer see my best friend, and I know he is giving us so privacy.
"Are you alright? Are you hurting?" She asked, and her soft voice is like a lody in my ear, and I smiled at her as she sat beside on the bed.
"Don't worry, my ankle is fine. I need so rest, and I think I will be good after a week, but I will try to report to class on Monday, and I need to look strong in front of my dad." I said, and I told her about how my dad opposes my dreams of making football a career, and she looked at with sympathy.
"Well, I can't bla your father. Look at you now, and you make so worried. I am just glad nothing worse happened to you." She said, and I touched her face, and she blushed right away.
"I am sorry if I made you worry, gan, but you don't need to bother yourself about . I will be careful next ti, just for you, and thank you for coming." I said, and she tried to lower her head, but I lifted her chin so I can stare at her beautiful face.
"gan, I am sorry if I wasn't able to pick you up from your work." I declared.
"Don't be silly, Ashton. You are injured, and thank you for sending Zachary." She said as I took her hand and I bring it to my mouth, and I kissed her hand.
"gan, I like you a lot, and I can't wait to be your boyfriend." I said, and I love the way her face turned red as she blushed again.
"I know I told you I could wait, but right now, I want you to say yes, please, be my girlfriend, g." I added, and I know I caught her off-guard.
"You stole my first kiss; that is why I won't go easy in you." She said, and my face fell, and I suddenly felt the pain in my ankle, and then I heard her beautiful laughter. gan is laughing because of the expression on my face.
"You look so cute, Ashton, don't worry; take on a proper date, and I will give you my answer." She said.
"Is it not possible you can give your answer now?" I asked.
"If you will take on a date, then I will give you my answer." gan replied.
"Okay, let us go." I said, and her eyes widened.
"Are you kidding ? You have an injury, Ashton, and you can't walk." She said in disbelief.
"I don't care if I will crawl on the ground as long as you will give your sweet yes." I said, and she smiled.
"You are hard-headed.." gan declared as she caressed my face and looked at in the eyes, and I can feel the rapid beating of my heart as I wait for gan's next words because I have the feeling the way she touches right now is telling she wants to be her boyfriend.
