Chapter 25 Ashton's New Lie [Follow Your Heart Extra: This was the original name for the last chapter.]
Ashton's POV
The Next Day
I walked to the front of the house and saw Ash waiting there.
"Andy", he said happily. "Did my mom call you?"
"Yes", I replied. "We're going to talk."
"Okay", Ash started. "Why did you lie?"
"That's a long story Ash", I replied. "Which I am about to explain to your mother."
"I've got an idea", Ash stated. "I can stand outside the door of my mom's office so you won't have to tell the story twice."
I thought for a moment.
"Deal."
With that I walked to Delia's door and knocked.
She opened it.
"Hello Andy", she greeted. "Come in."
With that I walked in and both Delia and I sat down.
"I'm going to get straight to the point", Delia stated. "Why did you lie? And tell me the truth."
"The truth", I asked before looking at Ash, who was standing at the door. "The truth is...I lied out of necessity. I went to the agency and heard that you were looking for a tutor for your son." [Follow Your Heart Extra: (Slaps forehead) he didn't tell the truth.]
"So you decided to take things into your own hands", Delia asked.
"I was going to tell you", I lied. "But you didn't give me the chance because you said I was hired. And your son is just amazing." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Awe.]
"Do you have kids", Delia asked. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Yes. Your son!]
"I have a son who lives abroad with his mother", I lied. "They're not doing so well so I try to send them money when I can. That's another reason why I lied."
"Is that all", Delia asked.
"Yeah", I lied. "That's all."
"Well then", Delia started. "Since you have told me the truth, and since Ash seems to like you very much, I am giving you a second chance." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Yay!]
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you Delia", I thanked.
"Just give Cilain your real details this time", Delia commanded.
"Of course", I replied before getting up.
Suddenly, Finn walked into the room!
He looked at me in shock.
"You", he said in shock. "What are you doing here?"
"I have decided to give Andy a second chance", Delia replied.
"What", Finn said shock. "But..."
"No buts", Delia commanded. "Andy has explained himself and Ash likes him very much."
Finn looked at Delia in shock before looking at me.
"Nobody ever agrees with me", he yelled as he left. [Follow Your Heart Extra: This mirrors a scene from the last chapter.]
I chuckled before looking at Delia.
"Thank you", I thanked. "I won't let you down."
HotXbun: So. Ashton did not tell the truth.
Challenge: Tell me if you think Ashton will ever tell the truth.
My Answer: He will just not in a long, long time.
