CHAPTER 125: DARE TO LOVE ME You’re Not Even My Type
Ashley
Ok, breathe and think. I had a good time with him, and he had a good time with me because he thought I was a guy. If he knew I was a girl, our dynamic would change, and I didn’t want that. I was sure this big guy was better as a friend than in relationships with girls, whom he probably just saw as food. I’d seen how closed off he was with them. However, with me being a guy, he’d opened up and shown me who he was. And although it was hard for me to admit, I liked him. I liked William.
So, with that in mind, I decided to tell him a half–truth.
“Well, I have to admit you’re very observant,” I nodded to myself. Now that I thought about it, if he noticed, it was because he’d spent more time than necessary watching what I was doing. I shook my head. What could this man see in another man?
William raised a hand and a shoulder in silence.
“I like men,” I stated, and I noticed how he quickly turned his head, looking completely taken aback.
“That’s right, I like guys, and somehow, since I was little, I’ve always been very feminine,” I bit my lip. I wasn’t lying because I was a girl.
“You never showed it before,” he turned in his seat.
“I stopped being very feminine in military school, but as you can see, I haven’t forgotten it,” I hoped he wouldn’t ask more questions, or I’d have to tell more lies.
“The story about dating Joy,” he frowned.
“You never stopped insisting about my virginity and never let me explain, so I said it to make you stop, and it worked,” I clarified, and he laughed, shaking his head.
He started the car and said nothing more, so we drove in silence. However, from time to time, I looked at his hands gripping the steering wheel. What beautiful hands, masculine and perfect for a caress.
I decided to look out the window. I didn’t know what I was doing, looking at him the way I did.
“So, guys,” he stopped in front of my house.
“Guys,” I nodded, “I imagine our relationship won’t change,” I bit the inside of my cheek.
“I don’t think so,” he shrugged and stroked his chin, “unless you fall in love with me. I tend to

attract male attention too,” he said, full of himself and on the verge of laughing.
How arrogant!
“Oh, please!” I said in a louder tone. “You’re not even my type,” I said with the same cockiness as him and opened the car door, hearing a masculine laugh that infected me.
“See you later,” I looked at him, and he nodded, still laughing. I entered the house with a smile. that hadn’t left my lips.
I opened my bedroom door and proceeded to change. I released the bands pressing my breasts against the sports top and relaxed.
“How could you leave me?!” Tino sat up like in The Exorcist, scaring me to death.
“But, weren’t you asleep?!”
“Anger alone kept me from sleeping,” he crossed his arms.
“Well, it was unexpected. You stayed with the cuddles; I didn’t want to take you away from them,” my goodness as if it wasn’t enough to have two lives with William, now I felt like I had three. I didn’t know how I’d keep so many lies straight in my head.
“Just for that, I’ll forgive you this time,” he touched his chest with one hand, “but you owe me a concert where all those guys are present, not one missing, got it?”
“I promise, I promise, I’ll take you to the ends of the earth if necessary,” I nodded emphatically.
“Alright then,” he looked more relaxed.
I settled next to him and hugged him. Suddenly, I felt him start to sniff me.
“But who have you been out with?” he sniffed me a bit more, “you smell like a man! A fine man, he sat back down, and I rolled my eyes.
“With William Garnett,” I told the truth. I didn’t see any point in lying about it; I’d forget so many lies. Tino looked at me suspiciously.
“Isn’t he the f**k boy?”
“He is the f**k boy. We got to know each other a bit after working together. It was just a coincidence that we went to the festival together,” Tino squinted his eyes, “remember, he
thinks I’m a guy,” I pulled him to lie down next to me and hugged him. It seemed I’d convinced him. In the end, there was nothing more to say.

*Days later*
“Come with me. We’ll drop the kids off at Alaia’s and then meet Bolton for dinner,” Nick came down from the second floor, adjusting his jacket, and I took the kids in my arms.
“Did you enjoy the afternoon with Uncle Will?” I looked at both of them. I’d played with them.
for a while since I arrived. It was incredible to see how intelligent they were and the gestures they’d inherited from Nick. It was nice to have kids in the house.
“Tiiii,” they shouted happily at the same time, making me laugh as we headed to the car.
“You should consider it. You were always the one who liked kids,” Nick commented, seeing me adjust Alana’s car seat.
“And you were the one who didn’t like kids, yet you ended up being a father,” Nick shook his head and looked at his kids with a loving smile.
“Now I don’t know what I would do without them,” the kids responded to him. It was a beautiful image.
“As for considering it, I don’t know, brother, I think I still have several co…” I stopped when I saw both little ones looking at me, “several girls to meet,” Nick tilted his head, guessing the word I was going to say, and shook his head.
“Maybe when the right one comes along, like you with Alaia,” I closed the passenger door.
“I doubt you’ll find the right one when you like them all,” Nick commented, amused.
“Only the pretty ones,” I laughed, resting my arm on the window and my hand on my forehead.
I heard the kids‘ small voices as we headed to Alaia’s house, and I could only smile. There was
nothing sweeter.
The bodyguards let us into the house, and Nick led us to the entrance.
We got out, and I helped with the kids. The little ones took my hands and led me inside the house. I entered the spacious living room and saw Alana and Noah running to the backyard while Nick talked to what I assumed was the housekeeper.
“Good afternoon,” Alaia came down from the second floor and looked at us seriously as we responded to the greeting, “Nick, come with me,” she asked my cousin, who looked at her like an i***t while Alaia remained cold, but I saw a warmth deep in her eyes that she didn’t let out or show in front of us. “You can wait for him in the living room, we won’t be long,” she addressed me.
I nodded and sat on one of the couches, watching them walk toward a double door on the first
floor.

I was looking at my phone when I heard the cheerful shouts of Alana and smiled in the
direction of the patio where the sounds were coming from.
I stood up and observed some artwork in the house. Alaia had good taste.
Without realizing it, I reached the back door of the house, where I found the kids running back and forth. I approached, a smile forming on my lips.
I crossed my arms as I saw the kids with Asher and another boy, all running and chasing each
other, hearing their laughter.
I watched as Asher fell onto the grass, and the kids piled on top of him while he laughed.
louder and tickled the kids. I watched, mesmerized, lowering my gaze and frowning as I
realized I hadn’t stopped looking at Asher.
“Uncle!” Noah, who had started running again, noticed my presence. He must have thought I
had already left. I bent down to him.
“Are you having fun?” I asked.
“Yes,” he nodded, barely catching his breath.
“Well, if it isn’t you,” Asher approached, having been running after Alana, who had come to me.
“Sweetie,” I touched her bunny nose. She kissed me on the cheek and then smiled with her
whole face.
“So they already like you,” Asher looked surprised.
“Who wouldn’t like me?” I shrugged and spoke confidently while he put his hands on his hips and huffed. It seemed that since he told me about his preferences, he showed those feminine
gestures more often.
“I’m still their favorite uncle,” he lifted his chin.
“You have an advantage,” I observed him breathing, trying to catch his breath, and there was something about the sound of his rapid breathing and his slightly parted lips that I found
attractive.
“Hello,” a dark–haired boy, a bit taller than Asher, approached us and distracted me. “I’m Valentino Ferran, Tino to friends,” he introduced himself and extended his hand to me.
“Nice to meet you, William Garnett,” I smiled, shaking his hand, and he blinked. It was evident he was gay. Were they a couple?
“So you’re the f**k boy,” he looked at me, then at Asher, who looked at some invisible birds in the sky right after elbowing the boy next to him and giving him a disapproving look. So they’d

talked about me. “I’m sure you are; you have everything to be one,” he mused, making me
laugh. “Are all the Garnetts like this?” he pointed at me from head to toe and looked at me without shame.
“You can be sure we are, I affirmed.
“I’m dying,” he muttered dramatically, and I couldn’t stop laughing. What a character, and I thought Asher was feminine. I didn’t know Valentino.
“We have to go, Nick leaned down to my nephews after greeting Asher and Tino, said goodbye
to the kids, and I did the same afterward.
“Gentlemen,” I said, bidding farewell to Asher and Tino.
“I hope to see you around here often,” Tino spoke to me, and Asher elbowed him again. I nodded and, still smiling, left the house.
We arrived at the restaurant where we’d meet Bolton, a mobile device entrepreneur. We were led to the table, and soon we were in the meeting talking business. However, my mind drifted to the boy breathing heavily after running after the kids.
What the hell, William? What are you thinking about that boy?
