Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste Chapter 6


    Ashley’s pov


    The sun had dipped a long time ago, moonlight flooding through the opened window. It waste, really


    late. I prayed silently in my head that mom and dad were sleeping soundly, if I got caught I’d be in


    trouble.


    That I didn’t want. Dad was very overprotective. I was surprised he allowed me to be friends with Ryan


    and ke. He didn’t trust any other guy that wasn’t ke and Ryane near me. It was annoying


    and not needed since embarrassingly I’ve only wanted one guy’s attention.


    I sighed. I was curled up on the bed. My clothes were hidden by the thick nket that enveloped me in


    it’s warmth. I didn’t want mom or dad bursting through my door to find out what I’m wearing. They


    would’ve surely known something was up.


    A gentle cold breeze brushes against my cheek softly. I stared outside the opened window, counting


    the little white dots we called stars. I was a nervous wreck. I should never have agreed to go tonight. I


    should’ve stayed home and read. Raven would’ve surely kept mepany.


    A pebble falls on the wooden floor. My heart pummels knowing it was one of the boysing to take


    me away. I contemted for a few seconds, hearing the clicking of my old clock on the nightstand. My


    hands itch to grab it and hurl it outside the window. Maybe it’ll hit them on the head and I’ll have an


    excuse to not go.


    “Ley!” A hushed voice hissed outside. I silently groan hearing ke’s voice. Really Ryan, you sent


    him? I hated that I always felt ufortable with him after he had been with other girls. Girls that


    weren’t me. Seeing him and Stacy make out showed me that I’ll neverpare to her or the other girls.


    “Ley!” Another hiss, this time impatient.


    I nibble on my lip then with a groan throw the covers off my body, revealing the clothes I had chosen to


    wear. Standing up from the bed, I walked over to the opened window and looked down at ke. I could


    barely see what he wore but the moon casted a soft glow on his face that made me suck in my breath.


    “Shut up, do you want my parents to hear you?” I hiss lowly,pushing my head out of the window and


    bracing my hands on the windowsill.


    He shrugged and smirked. “It wouldn’t be a bad thing if you got into a little trouble Ley. Raven would be


    proud.”


    I gritted my teeth. Will he always tease me about this? I move my eyes away from him to stare at


    Ryan’s car. Furrowing my brows I turn to face him again. “Are you alone, where’s Ryan?”


    “Ryan’s already at the party, he told me toe pick you up.” He answers, seeming to not know that


    being alone with him for just a few seconds rattles my brain and I find myself acting like an idiot.


    “So you’re alone?” I question again, already feeling the nerves bubble up in my stomach, almost


    suffocating.


    I could sense his confusion, see how he doesn’t understand what he does to me. “Yeah.” He mumbles,


    uncertainty clinging to his voice. I sighed and nodded.


    “Wait a minute.” I say softly and draw myself back inside the room. I looked down at my outfit, the id


    skirt reached the middle of my thigh. I had chosen to match it with a white tank top and a jean jacket


    and finished it off with my white converse shoes. But even with the decent length of the skirt I suddenly


    felt, naked.


    I looked around and spotted my ck leggings that I had discarded near the opened closet. Nodding to


    myself I walked over and picked it up. I felt the thin material between my thumb and index finger,


    pinching it while I ponder if to wear it.


    “Ley hurry up!” ke hiss.


    I groan, finallying to a decision and put on the leggings. Atst I felt somewhat morefortable.


    Who was I even trying to impress in the first ce? I walked over to the window, feeling like a


    delinquent.


    I pulled myself out of the window and took cautious steps as I walked on the roof. I looked down at


    ke. It wasn’t that high but I felt nauseous just thinking about missing a fall. What if I broke my butt?


    Is that even possible?


    I neared the edge, looking for thedder dad left there but didn’t spot it. I looked at ke rmed.


    “There’s nodder!” I almost screech feeling anxiety start crawling in my body. Was dad aware of my


    ns?


    “Just jump down Ley I’ll catch you.” ke urged, getting in position to catch me. I scan over his body.


    Yes he had muscles and was sure to hold me without much effort but this waspletely different. I


    could die.


    I shake my head furiously, backing away. “Yeah no, maybe this isn’t meant to be. Enjoy the party.” I


    rushed out.


    “Ohe on, don’t back down on me right now bambina.”


    “I’m scared.” I admitted, looking at thewn. It looked so far down to me. I was too high up.


    I look into his blue eyes, the light of the moon showing how blue his eyes really were. From even up


    here, it was hard to miss. His eyes soften. I took a good look at what he was wearing in the moment,


    noticing that he loved dressing all in ck. ck jacket, ck jeans,ck shirt,ck converse. To


    some the color would seem intimidating but it wasn’t, that was just ke.


    “Don’t be Ley, I would never let you fall, I’ll always catch you. Trust me.” He said softly, his eyes saying


    something that I couldn’t quite decipher.


    “Oh would you guys shut up! Goddammit Ashley just fucking jump, you’ll not die. It’s just a fucking few


    feet!” A voice snapped.


    I turn around and spotted Arden through his opened window. His room was beside mine.His lights were


    off but the moon casted light enough to spot him. I squint. Was he eating a banana?


    “Aren’t you supposed to be asleep?” I question going into big sister mode.


    He raised a brow before biting into the banana. “The same could be said for you big sister. Don’t worry


    I won’t tell dad you’re sneaking out.”


    I breathed a sigh of relief only to stiffen when he continued.


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    ” Only if-” He drags out, his eyes that were identical to dad’s sh with mischief. “You give me fifty


    bucks.”


    I frown. “I was saving that to buy my books.”


    He shrugged, taking another bite of the banana.” It’s fifty bucks or no deal.”


    I dwell on it. Give him my fifty bucks and no books for me? Yeah no. It’s a good excuse to not go-


    “Fine, I’ll give you the fifty bucks tomorrow.” ke agreed, getting me out of my almost rejoicing


    moment.


    “Deal.” Arden smirked.” Now jump Ashley, don’t be a pussy.”


    “Watch your tongue Arden, I’m still older and I can tell dad!” I hissed and cross my arms. “And I’m not a


    cat.” I pouted.


    I sighed then looked at ke. I did trust him and that led me to walk over to the edge. Gulping in some


    air, I said a silent prayer. “Ready?” I asked him nervously, watching as he opened his arms to catch me.


    With a determined look he nodded.


    Closing my eyes tightly, I waited a few seconds, letting the wind blow through my long tresses then


    jumped. My breath caught in my throat as I felt myself falling. Was this how it felt to die?


    I feel arms wrap around my body, drawing me to a firm chest. “Oomph” I breathed out. “You can open


    your eyes now Ley.” ke’s amused voice breaks me from my thoughts.


    I cracked one eye open before opening the other. His piercing blue eyes instantly trapped me in a


    trance and I felt myself take in a sharp breath for the second time. “I told you I’d catch you.” He smiles.
