Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste Chapter 4
Ashley’s pov
She doesn’t stare long and quickly sets her attention on ke. He didn’t look surprised to see her here.
I wasn’t either, I don’t think any of us were.
She plops down on his thigh, one of her handsing around his head to draw him forward. Her shiny
bright red painted nails mock me as she tenderly touches his jaw.
A secondter their lips are molding together and suddenly a wave of jealousy swims through my body.
My gut twisted at the sight and I quickly look away. I could feel my skin prickle,like tiny stabs of needles
piercing my flesh.
Either it was from hatred or it was from shame. Shame that I was jealous. I shouldn’t be, I had no right,
afterall she was his girlfriend. I hated it, hated that I couldn’t control it.
I find myself excusing myself to go to the bathroom. Excuses excuses. My conscience mocks me. They
didn’t seem to acknowledge me, not that I cared. Or maybe I did because I felt a stab of hurt when
ke continued to suck her face.
It should be normal, I’ve seen them done it multiple times. I should’ve gotten used to it by now. But I
could never find myself to. Maybe that’s why I’ve gotten addicted to reading erotica novels, my life
certainlycked the romance.
I pushed the chair away as I got up. It was only when the chair made a scraping sound did ke pull
away. His lips are raw, red and swollen. My heart constricts at the sight. I move my eyes away from
them, finding it unbearable to see him enjoy kissing her.
His brows are furrowed as he scans my body. “Where are you going?”
For one I wanted to bolt away from there, finding it difficult to stay here any longer. But it would only
raise suspicion. I did not want him to think that I had a problem with his girlfriend. You do. Yet again the
little voice in my head makes an unweing jab.
“I’m going to the bathroom.” I told him for the second time. If you weren’t busy sucking her face you
would’ve heard me the first time. I wanted to mumble sarcastically, god I wanted to so bad.
But I refrained, there wasn’t any reason to give him attitude. It wasn’t his fault, it was mine for liking him
in a way that I shouldn’t have.
He nods and Stacy rolls her eyes before bringing his lips back to hers. I look over at Ryan and he
makes a fake gagging noise that has me chuckling. “Order for me would you? You already know what I
like.” I directed it to Ryan. But it wasn’t his voice that answered.
“Yeah hotdog and fries with ketchup on the side because you hate it on the fries.” ke says detaching
his lips away from Stacy’s. I could tell she was annoyed but I couldn’t help feeling the bit of rush from
knowing that I got under her skin.
I smiled, cocking a perfectly arched eyebrow. “You’re missing something.”
He rolls his eyes. “Oh how could I forget arge banana chocte milkshake.”
Iughed and head to the bathroom. As soon as I was alone in the stall, the tears I had desperately
tried to keep at bay rolls down. I sniffle sitting down on the closed toilet seat.
I reach for the toilet paper beside me and used it to dab the moisture away from my eyes. Why was this
so hard? ke was my best friend, I shouldn’t be jealous that he has a girlfriend.
But I was and it was getting hard to keep it hidden. I had always had a crush on him, the boy who was
my first friend. The boy who wasn’t afraid to fight off my bullies in the ninth grade when Ryan wasn’t
there that day to help him. The boy who unknowingly stole my heart and never gave it back. But now
as I’m thinking more about it, it doesn’t feel like a simple crush, it feels more.
“Did you see her?” A girl giggles as the bathroom door bangs open. A secondter heels ck against
the tiled floor nearing my stall. I stiffen my feet pulling up on the bathroom seat.
“Yeah what an embarrassment.” Another female voice cackles.
My eyes drop to the tiled floor watching as their shadows disappear. I would’ve sighed of relief if only
they had actually left the bathroom and let me wallow in my self pity.
“She’s such an attention seeker, did you see how ke was holding her? The girl literally acts like a
damsel in distress just so she can have them wrapped around her finger.” One snorts. The voices are
near.
“Yes it’s so embarrassing that she tries totch on to a guy who’s already taken. Such a shame that
ke only sees her as a best friend.”
My body grows cold.They’re talking about me.
The other girl cackles, the tone irritating to my ears.
“She’s such a loser. I’m sure ke and Ryan are tired of having her follow them around.” One snorts
followed byughter. My eyes began to blur and I blinked away the iing tears.
“And she’s ugly too with those dumb sses. I would be ashamed to be seen with her.” One giggles.
Their words feel like a p in the face,brutal and unforgiving.
I swallowed my bitter anger at their words. A few traitorous tears had managed to escape so I wiped
the skin underneath my eyes angrily. I hated showing weakness.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
I move off the toilet softly to not alert them of someone being there. But a little part of me knew that
they probably are aware that I was in here. My slender fingers touch the walls of the stall as I peek
through the slit in the bathroom.
I spotted a blonde and could barely see the other one. The blonde was busy applying lip gloss on her
already looking sticky and shiny lips. I sighed bracing myself for the unavoidable oue of this
interaction when I get out of the stall.
I opened the door taking in their feigned stunned faces. They definitely knew I was in there. The
brte that I couldn’t see properly a while ago stares at me with her brown eyes. A sly smirk crawling
on her red stained lips.
“Oh Ashley is it? Sorry that you had to hear that.” Her lips pouted and her blonde friend cackles. I
narrow my eyes. I knew them, they were in my calculus ss.
We’ve never talked before, in fact I thought I was invisible to them. No one cared to know me.
Everyone just thought of me as ke and Ryan’s bestfriend that followed them around.
I breathed out in annoyance. “Stop with the fake apology, we both know you were aware I was in here.”
I said, calling out her bullshit.
