1693 Words
The scent grew stronger the more steps she took. Samantha didn't understand why the smell of sweets was making her feel so overwhelmed. Was it always like this? She shook her head subconsciously as she tried her best to match up with the girls paste. It was clear by their half jogging strides that they were excited to the point of death. They kept giggling and whispering to themselves and they were even far ahead of this Damien guy who was suppose to be the one leading the way Speaking of the handsome boy, he was walking lazily just a few feet ahead of her. Sam didn't know whether he was lagging behind on purpose or he was just a naturally lazy manager. She didn't care much though since for some reason focusing her attention on him helped her clear up the fogginess in her head a bit " do people fry sugar here?" " what?" Samantha didn't even know why she had asked such bizarre question, he must probably think she was weird. She shifted uncomfortably as his clear brown eyes peered at her curiously " I..umm...I just think that it smells weird in here" " how weird" " sugar" "Is it bad" She shook her head. It didn't smell bad at all intact it was somewhat familiar and nostalgic. " it's just overwhelming... " The brown haired male nodded his gaze turning back to the two girls ahead. There was really nothing he could say to that. He knew Ashton tended to go overboard with everything but seriously, was i t really necessary to suffocate the poor girl so much? Backstage was basically almost empty except for the few stage light crews and choreographers that littered here and there. They came towards a door and Sam could see Emma and Marisa talking to some huge guys dressed in black suits and shades standing attentively blocking the entry. That must be were the idol must be The men seemed to have understood something when they looked towards their direction at Damien and they simply stepped off the way even before they approached the door. Emma and Marisa rushed in immediately as if the they were afraid the men would change their mind at any moment There was a loud squealing sound and Sam couldn't help chuckling ignoring the overwhelming scent of sweets. She followed behind Damien quietly past the group of four bodyguards into a lavishly decorated living lunge The sight of Emma and Marisa crowding in front of a sitting figure was the first thing she saw. She couldn't see the person facials but with no doubt she knew it was Ashton grey, who else would capture her sisters attention like this... " Ashton I love your music.. " Ashton you looked great today ah" " can I have your autograph? " " no no me first!?" Both girls harassed the poor superstar. Sam felt kinda felt bad for the poor guy. I guess that's what you get for being so hot...what, what? Signing, Sam leaned against a wall keeping a safe distance from the fan girls and their object of obsession. She was happy being a spectator watching from a distance " u-hum" It was Damien who interrupted the weird atmosphere first. It seemed the girls only now realized their presence but the silence was only short lived though as Emma squealed happily " Sam! Come and meet Ashton" Only then did Sam get a glance at her little sister's idol The saying that no human being can resist appreciating the sight of a beautiful thing was true. Up on a closer view Aston Grey was even more breathtaking, she got a better look at his piercing brown eyes that seem to carry within them a fierce flame that could likely burn into a person's heart turning it's aftermath into ashes. His flame tinted hair was sticking to his pale forehead probably from sweat even though there was clearly an air conditioner fixed in the room He was in a black crop top that had the slogan ' die burning!' On it in huge block letters. Now that she saw it clearly there was a black inked tattoo of a word scribbled on the wrist of his left hand which tapped occasionally on his well chiseled jaw as if in a mantra He seemed absent minded but Sam felt his eyes heat up when their gazes met. Her felt was suddenly shaking and she was so thankful for the support of the wall behind her Suddenly that sweet caramel scent was all that clouded her senses, it was so tangible she swore she could taste it " seriously! Who is burning sugar here!" Damien " " Emma and Marisa " " Only Ashton seem to understand her retort. His lips curved up in amusement ' really interesting' " what...what are you saying?" Emma asked frowning in confusion " don't you guys smell it? That caramel scent,It's overwhelming! " " Sam, stop it" " I've been trying to ignore it since earlier but it's really so.." " Sam! Stop being embarrassing " That shut her up, Sam gazed at her sister's annoyed appearance and she couldn't help but wonder if she was really embarrassing her. Does she really like that guy so much? Am I now an annoyance? She couldn't help but feel bad, her baby sister thought she was embarrassing, so what exactly was the point in being here. She'll give Emma the space she needs Sam was going to open her mouth and excuse herself but a soft silk like voice suddenly spoke for the first time " do you hate the smell that much?" Everyone in the room excluding Damien peered at the music emperor in shock. It was the first time they were hearing that mesmerizing voice apart from the live performance they just got Emma was taken aback, she had tried so hard to get this god to speak to her since earlier but the handsome man seem to ignore their presence completely, it was like to him there didn't exist, but suddenly he took the initiative to speak. Even though it wasn't to her but she was still excited. She wouldn't miss this opportunity to get closer to her idol Emma tried to apologize " Ashton..my sister is just being paranoid that's all. I...." " do you hate the smell" He ignored her completely even going as far getting up from the sofa and walking with his slender legs towards her sister. It was just how a person would treat air. Her face flamed in embarrassment as a frown fell on her face replacing her soft expression from earlier. She stared at the scene displaying before her with confusion and dissatisfaction, why was Ashton so interested in what her sister was saying? Could it be that he liked caramel secretly? She knew everything about Ashton Grey but she had never heard of him liking caramel before or even sugar Sam frowned as the figure of the idol drew nearer to her, it made her uncomfortable with how close he was standing to her, she could see every single feature on his peerless handsome feature. She tried to back away but she completely forgot she was leaning against a damn wall " I..am not saying I hate it but it's a bit too much" she didn't even know why she was trying to justify a smell she found suffocating " how much" he lifted a perfectly arced eyebrow while his lips curled up in an amused smirk making the girl daze So handsome ah " it's suffocating" " I see" he leaned closer making his breath sweep past her face making her heart beat rapidly " then I'll give you an autograph to apologize " Sam stirred from her daze " wait. That smell is coming from you?!" Ashton didn't respond only dashing her with a grin flashing his pearl white teeth, it was only for a second but Sam could swear she noticed something shiny right on his....does that mean he had tongue piercings? " I'll give you my wiebo number" " what?" She was confused but mostly still dazed Emma and Marisa " what?!!" Both girls felt shocked.Did they just hear that right? Was Ashton Grey really giving out his personal wiebo number " but am not even a fan I.." She didn't know why the beautiful idol wasn't listening to her but she was very self aware when he held her had gently as if holding some kind of precious China ware and scribbled a pair of numbers on her wrist with a pen " I hope to hear from you soon" Samantha's face reddened when he winked at her, she felt really flustered and weirded out that it didn't her long to disappear out of the room The idol watched the girl run away with amused eyes really interesting " alright, that should be all for today. Thank you for your time ladies" Damien gestured towards the two dazed girls with a polite smile. It was a nice way of telling them to get lost since their use had expired. The girl's became flustered at the charming man's charming smile. But they were secretly disappointed ' how come only sister Samantha benefitted out of this trip' But they was nothing they could do but give their thanks and quietly leave the room Damien watched the door shut close before turning to stare at his best friend " so how was she? Everything you ever dreamt of?" " she's peculiar, she doesn't seem to be a fan" " don't get so full of yourself, did you really think every girl you meet would be charmed by you?" " she seems to not like my scent" " why would she?! Your basically suffocating her with it!" Ashton cast him a cold look to which Damien immediately shut up, he seems to always forget that this alpha was likely willingly to rip his head off anytime " I'll just wait for her text" " if she text" " what did you say" " nothing sir!"
