Chapter Eighteen

Callum

An entire week passed without seeing Ashton, and absence fucked with my head in a major way. We’d just started our relationship, but I’d already gotten so accustomed to seeing him around, even before he wore me down about us. He’d pop into the coffee shop to grab his cup of Libertine while he ogled and propositioned me for Daddy duties.

I missed him.

I peeled off the disposable gloves I had on, dropped them into the bin, and dug my phone out of my pocket. I found his last messages and, with a frown, reread them. Sent this morning at 6:15 a.m. The message had taken me by surprise because Ashton didn’t strike me as the person who woke up at dawn.

Ashton: Hi, Daddy. Thinking of you.

Me: Hey, baby, why are you up so early? Studying?

Ashton: Yeah, have a lot of work catching up on. You know me, waiting until the last minute to get everything done. I know I’ve been MIA lately.

Me: I’ve noticed, but I’m okay with that as it means you’re writing your papers. Are you?

Ashton: Yeah, they’re done.

Me: If you need help, drop by the coffee shop. You know I don’t mind.

Ashton: I’ve got it.

Before I could reply, he’d double-texted me.

Ashton: You still crazy about me?

I smiled, even now remembering how off I’d felt when he texted me, but at that point, the worry had eased. He seemed like the same Ashton I knew. A cocky, spoiled brat.

Me: I’ll tell you to your face.

He hadn’t responded after that, and I worried once more about him. He’d said he was going to his classes and doing his assignments. I couldn’t argue with that, so I didn’t press for him to come over.

Blue balls weren’t likely to kill me. I would’ve liked to help him with his assignments too, but I felt proud of him for wanting to do them on his own. Suddenly my worry when we first started dating seemed all for nothing.

He was being a good boy.

“Everything okay?” Phil asked, entering the kitchen area.

“Yup.” I slipped my phone back into my pocket, washed my hands, and asked him, “So, what do you think? Was it a good idea to hire Brayden?”

“The best idea you’ve had since approaching me about opening this place,” he replied. “The kid is a godsend. He works hard, and we actually get to take an entire day off now.”

Too bad Ashton hadn’t been around for me to spend the last day off with him. Wednesdays were out, since I had personal duties to take care of, but I would’ve liked to take him out for that dinner we’d talked about. He’d canceled on me, and I hadn’t seen him since.

Hopefully, he’d have finished all his schoolwork and could come over soon.

“Do you think we should open all day on Wednesday now that we have some help?” Phil asked.

I’d been thinking the same thing. Initially we’d opted to open only until 2:00 p.m. on Wednesdays to give us both the afternoon off, but we’d hired Brayden so we could get time off.
