Chương 19: Chapter 19
Ashley's POV:
After those words left my mouth I regret it. How can I even think of it and say it out loud in front of Hudson? He's staring with wide eyes at me. Probably he's shocked about my thoughts but I can't take it back.
"Oh..." He says. Is he serious right now? He looks confused and I guess he is. But what is that for an answer? Actually, I can't blame him. He better don't say anything wrong or I'm going to catch feelings or maybe get hurt. Either way, it's worse.
We don't say anything and just continue with the washing up. I leave right after I finish. As I walk quickly the stairs up someone catches my wrist and stops me. I turn to face him and it's obviously Hudson.
"Are you mad at me?" He asks. Yes and No. I don't really know if I should be mad at him. Actually, I don't have a reason to be mad at him. But even if I had a reason I couldn't be mad at those ocean eyes.
"No." I snap. He let's go my wrist and wants to smile.
"Still friends then?" He asks shyly smiling.
"Friends." I nod and smile back. Why not be friends with him? There is nothing to worry about. He's still the brother of my best friend.
His smile brightens and he walks past me the stairs up and directly into his room. I just stare until he closes his door and realize I was smiling. I ignore it and walk into Meredith's room. She is getting ready and I ask where she is going.
"I have to introduce you to some friends." She says and that is a code word also for me to get ready. I don't like to meet new people but maybe they're cool. I mean if Meredith hangs out with them then they have to be cool. Because she's a special person and if someone is not in her league she doesn't call this person a friend.
I remember the first time we met in middle school. We were in the same class and I was upset because Kerem wasn't in my class. Meredith recognized me and Kerem and she thought he's my brother because we look a lot like siblings. Actually, everybody things that. People often thought we are twins. And she set right next to me on the first day at school and asked me what my name is. That's how we introduced each other and then she asked me if Kerem is my brother. I told her he's my friend and in the pause, I introduced them but she didn't really want to get to meet him. When we got to know each other better weeks ago we recognized how much things we like the same. One day she just chose to be best friends with me and that lasted years now. We had our fights and problems but we never had it longer than one day because someone had to tell the other person something insane.
When we finally get ready we want to leave but Meredith has to ask Hudson for his car because her parents went out and used her car because her parents don't have good music in theirs. I know very dumb of her but that's Meredith. Hudson gives the keys and we drive out.
We arrive at a park I don't know and there is a handsome guy with curled brown hair and a short pretty girl with a cute dress and short brown hair. I don't know how to say hi while Meredith hugs them so I just thought I wave at the guy and hug the girl.
"Hi, I'm Damon." He waves back and I think he's waiting for me to introduce myself but I'm hugging the girl first.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ashley." I say looking at both.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Camille." She smiles and I smile back. They're very cute. But actually, I'm not really sure if they're a couple.
"Guys, Ashley is my best friend from Switzerland remember?" Meredith asks. Wait. She talked about me?
"Oh, so you are the Turkish girl who came to learn better English? Then I have to introduce me again, I'm Meredith's cousin." Camille says and smiles at me. Oh, now I remember Meredith told me a lot about her cousin Camille who's like a sister to her.
"Oh, yeah I know she told me also about you Camille." I say smiling back.
"I hope just good things though." She chuckles and looks at Meredith.
"Of course!" Meredith looks at me and mumbles playfully "not" to mess with her cousin. And all start to laugh when Camille playfully punches at her arm.
"Your English is very good for a Turkish woman." Damon says and smiles. I get a feeling he's trying to flirt with me but I ignore it.
"Well, thanks, Damon." I say.
"Of course, Dumbass! She learned from the best." Meredith puts playfully her hair on both sides back and smiles. We all start to laugh very loud.
We hang out in the park with them till it's getting dark as my phone starts to ring and I see an unknown number. I answer it but walk a little away from Meredith and her friends to hear who it is.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Ashley, where are you?" A man's voice says.
"Hudson? From where did you get my number?" I ask. Why do I ask this? Of course, he got it from Marie-Anne.
"It doesn't matter from whom I got your number... Where are you guys? You left home since noon!" He almost yells.
"We are at a Park. What's your problem?" I say harshly.
"Is that a man's voice in the background?" He frowns at the phone. Oh, maybe he shouldn't know about Damon. Meredith is going to kill me if I tell Hudson something he shouldn't know.
"Ashley, now tell me who's that guy?" He almost yells at me.
