Ashleyâs pov I decided to drop Blake home before going to Rosalieâs apartment. Lord only knows how long Iâd be there. I didnât want him to have to wait for me for long.
I was happy he understood but I could tell by the look in his eyes, he was equally as disappointed as me that our kiss was interrupted. I smiled, lifting a finger to touch my bottom lip. It still tingled from his kisses and I could still feel his fingers on my body. Oddly I could still feel the heat of his touch and the way he tasted. It was like he branded me without knowing âAshley, get your ass up here now!â
Startled, I flinch bakwards until I bonked my head on the seat. Looking out of the window Iâm surprised to see Rosalie head peeking out of the window of her apartment.
Her now short hair messily falls over her face as she glares down at me across the street where my car was parked. âHurry up!â
She shouts and disappears back into her room. Shaking my head slightly at her dramatic actions I got out of the car, slamming the door shut. âShe better have been in need of help and not being dramatic.â I grumble under my breath as I cross the quiet and empty street.
I felt my shirt clinging to me like a second skin because of the sweat that currently drenched me from head to toe. I barely did anything in that gym other than knock down a kid.
Okay that sounds really bad by saying it like that. So let me rephrase it.
I knocked down a teen boy with a boastful mouth in less than a minute and I was sweating buckets like I had been at it for hours.
How was Blake not grossed out by my sweat?
âGood Morning.â I greeted a middle aged woman who had been walking down the stairs. Bag at her sides and hair in a neat plait.
âItâs afternoon now.â She smiles.
My eyebrows raised and I looked down at my phone, switching it on. It read twelve thirty. How long had Blake and I been in the gym? The woman walks past me as I stride up the stairs. Honestly I was happy Rosalieâs room wasnât far up. Room four, room six, room eight. I mumbled inwardly as I peered around. Room ten. Smirking, I knocked on the door with more force than needed. Take it as payback for disturbing Blake and I.
âChrist Ashley Iâm coming, Iâm coming!â I hear her yell on the other side of the door She opens the door and my fist haltsmid air i smiled at her sheepishly and put my hand down âThis had beller be an emergency for real Rosalie, you disturbed me from something, important âI grumble walking into her apartment.
Iâm surprised to ser Kimberly there she was seated on the sofa rubbing her tiny bump. I felt a pang I wanted that. I sighed. I guess Iâll have to wait. Even though Blake kissed me and showed that he was altracted to me too didnât mean heâd want more with me.
I forced out the sad thoughts and walked over to Kimberly who lifts her head from her belly and smiles at me warınly. âHey Kim, did Ryan drop you off here, I didnât notice your car parked outside?â I question as I sat down beside her on the sofa. She nods.
âYeah.â She utters then rolls her eyes. âHe refuses to let me drive on my own.â She murmurs with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
I laugh. âHeâs already so protective and you havenât even given birth yet.â
She groans. âTell me about it. Iâm honestly afraid of the day when Iâm going to be in labor. Or when the baby is actually here. God only knows what heâd do.â I snorted, agreeing with her. âJust promise to not kill my bestfriend if he gets a little overbearing?â
âYeah no promises.â She mumbles. We both laughed.
âGuys Iâm in serious dip shit and you both are having the time of yâall lives.â Rosalie whines walking over to us.
I finally looked at her attire. She looked like she had just woken up, soft cotton shorts and a thin shirt. That was her normal sleeping attire. Dropping my eyes to her feet I laugh inwardly. Of course leave it to Rosalie to earn a pair of bunny slippers. 1 Leaning towards Kimberly, I whispered softly. âAny idea why she called us here?â I question.
âNo idea. She just mentioned that she needed my help and I should come alone as soon as possible.â Kimberly replies softly while staring at Rosalie. âSheâs not planning a murder is she?â I whispered back.
Rosalie huffs and places her hands on her waist. âGuys you do know I can hear you right?â
I leaned away from Kimberly and smiled sheepishly at Rosalie. âSo why have you summoned us here Rosa? Whatâs wrong?â I asked.
She groans aloud, tugging at her hair as she paces back and forth. I turn to Kimberly and we both looked at each other confused.
âWhat the fuck is her problem?â I mouthed at Kimberly who shrugs.
âI had sex with Arden.â Rosalie blurts out.
Okay that was something I didnât really need to hear. I cringed inwardly. Hearing about your sibling getting laid is scary and quite frankly disgusting. Clearing my throat I turned to face her. Her face was red and she looked utterly nervous. âSO whatâs the problem?â I asked.
Honestly it wasnât a surprise that the two hooked up. Everyone witnessed the tension brewing between the two the day of Blake and Iâs wedding. It was only a matter of time. âThe problem is that I hate him and we slept together the night of your wedding. Oh wait and the day after that and the day after that âOkay we get it, you guys had sex a lot.â I cut her off, not able to keep the cringe off my face this time. âFrom what Iâm hearing you donât hate him.â Kimberly worded out. Rosalie narrows her eyes in anger. âYes I do, he cheated on me. I fucking love him and he went ahead and kissed a cheap slut while all I did was think about him. Stupid boys always think with their dicks.â She rages on.
âYou said you love him.â Kimberly murmurs.
âYeah so?â Rosalie huffs. This girl was still in denial.
âYou didnât say you loved him, you said you love him, present tense. Which means you still do. So whatâs the problem? Why fight it? Itâs clear that he wants you back Rosa-â Kimberly points out only to get cut off by a vexed Rosa.
âYou guys donât get it. We sleep together occasionally but I never put a label on our relationship. And now Iâm fucked because well.â She drawls out and looks around her apartment like sheâs nervous.
She clenches her eyes shut and fist her shirt. âI think I might be pregnant.â 13
