Chapter 12
Ashley's Morning...
"We're home," Nick said as he woke
me up.
"Huh? I thought we were on the side of the road."
"I
went to get gas and I took us home."
"Oh." I got out of the
car with Nick as we went into
the apartment, Brian there without his shirt on
talking to Wendy. "Hey Wendy."
"ASHLEY PAIGE YOU HAVE SOME
SERIOUS EXPLAINING TO DO!" She yelled at me.
"You too Nick,"
Brian said a little calmer.
"We ran out of gas and we had to stay in
the car because of the storm." Nick explained.
"Where's Leslie?"
I asked.
"In her room. She almost got hypothermia
you know Ash,"
Wendy said.
"Okay. Um I'm going to go talk to her
now…" I said
as I knocked on her door.
"Les? It's Ash. Can I talk to you?" I
asked
opening the door.
"I guess," she said in a strange voice.
"Did
you take to many of those pills
again?" I asked sitting next to her on her
bed.
"Maybe," she said laughing.
"God Leslie, you're
going to get real sick again."
"So, I won't be tired though."
"That's
not good for you Les," I said sighing.
"Thanks mom. What did you
want to talk
about?" She asked rubbing her red puffy eyes.
"I
wanted to tell you I'm sorry about yesterday…"
"No biggie, Brian
took me home. I slept for
13 hours in his arms. Can you believe it? I actually
slept."
"That's great!"
"Maybe to you."
"Don't
you realize that sleep is good?"
"Sleep might be good for your physical
things,
but not emotional." Just then Brian walked in,
grinning a little.
"Can
I talk to you for a second?" He asked Leslie.
I got up and sighed, looking
at Leslie.
"Think about what I said okay? I mean
it." She nodded
as I shut the door.
Brian Talks To Leslie...
"Can I sit
down?" He asked me.
My back was toward him as I sat on the edge
of
my bed.
"Yeah I guess," I said as he sat down next to me.
He
smelled so good even without cologne or a shower.
"You feeling any better
today?" He asked.
"A little, I think I'm catching a cold though."
"Yeah
me too."
"I'm sorry, that's my fault."
"It's okay.
Technically it was Ashley's fault but we
won't hold that against her." I
smiled and turned to
see his beautiful face smiling at me. "I'm going to
go
though in a second. I really need to.
We're doing a promo thing tonight."
"Yeah
I understand. Hope your cold gets better." I
looked at him grinning as I
turned my head
back. He kissed my cheek gently, his lips like
velvet on my
skin.
"I'll call you. Maybe we can do something after."
He said
as he got up. I nodded not looking at him.
I waited for him to shut the door
until I laid on my bed
thinking of him and how much I loved him.
