Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste Chapter 44


    I’ve been jumping rope for more than twenty


    minutes. In between I took a couple of breaks. I


    slump down on the mat exhausted beyond belief.


    My muscles ache, screaming at me in hatred for


    putting them through this torture. Maybe ke


    was right, I am out of shape.


    My stomach is t on the mat, the thin sweat on


    my skin coating it without being able to prate.


    My cheek pressed into the navy blue mat as I pant


    for air. ke slumps down beside me and pokes


    my sides. I groan not being able to move.


    “You’re not dying are you?” He joked but I can


    hear the tinge of seriousness in his tone.


    I re at him, not liking that he was finding this


    amusing. “I’m d you find this amusing.” I said


    sarcastically and turned my head away from him.


    Heughs at my childishness. I’m staring at the


    huge boxing ring in the middle of the room.


    I remember seeing ke fight for the first time


    and instead of being frightened or disgusted I


    found it enjoyable to watch. I’m staring at it in


    longing, wondering when I’ll be able to actually


    train inside. When I’ll be able to box.


    My thoughts are cut off by the firm p on my


    a*s. ke’s hand leaves a sting and I gasp,


    turning to face him. “You’re not ready for that ring


    yet bambina, you have a lot of work to do. ” He


    smirks and stands up.


    I narrowed my eyes and turn over until my back


    was now pressed to the mat. “Did you seriously


    have to p my butt to tell me that?”


    He smirks. “Then what would be the fun in that if I


    hadn’t? I much rather p your little taut a*s than


    only speaking to get your attention.” He winks


    then gets serious. “Now time for sit-ups.”


    My eyes widen and I puffed out an exhausted


    breath. “But I haven’t rested for five minutes yet.”


    I moan inint.


    ke’s eyes darken as he stares me down. “Don’t


    make that sound again unless I’m deep inside you


    or pleasuring you with my mouth and fingers.” He


    warns then stoops down beside me. It takes


    everything in me to stop the way my body reacts


    to his words.


    He raises his brow. “Now start.”


    I rolled my eyes and began doing sit-ups. By the


    time I was done, I was spread out on the mat like


    a dying starfish. The muscles in my stomach


    burned like they were lit on fire. Hair that got


    loosened out of the ponytail from jumping is now


    stuck to my sweaty forehead like a second skin.


    ke is beside me, holding a towel and a bottle of


    water. My heart is racing from doing so many


    things that I wasn’t ustomed to. “My muscles


    are on fire.” I breathed out.


    “Good then that means it’s working.” ke states


    and throws the towel on my face.


    I sit up and peel the towel away from my sweaty


    skin. My muscles groan in protest as I do so. I turn


    to scowl at ke and start to wipe the sweat off


    my forehead. “You know you’re not going easy on


    me. ” And I loved that. I didn’t want him to treat


    me like a fragile doll.


    He grins and hands me the bottle of water. “Why


    would I? I need my girl to be able to protect


    herself when needed to be. I can’t exactly achieve


    that if I treat you like a piece of cake.”


    I raise a brow.”A piece of cake?” I push the bottle


    to my mouth and start gulping down the water like


    I was in the desert for ages.


    A tiny mischievous grin forms at the corner of his


    lips. “Yes, a piece of cake. I wouldn’t achieve


    anything if I’d eat you out like a piece of cake


    every minute.”


    I choked on the water, finally realizing what he


    meant. ke is quick to tap my back as I force the


    water out of my lungs. When I finally recovered I


    sent him an using re. “Do you always have


    to make a sexualment?”


    He shrugs. “I enjoy teasing you and letting you


    know exactly how I feel. Too bad you didn’t get it


    before.”


    “How was I supposed to know that you liked me


    to? You had many girlfriends parading around!” I


    defend.


    “First of all, they weren’t my girlfriends, they were


    just girls I slept around with. And second of all,


    how could you not know I was in love with you?! I


    treated you like you were my girlfriend Ashley,


    everyone saw this except for you. Even Ryan


    knew!” He grumbles.


    I scowled. “Yeah like sleeping around makes me


    feel so much better. You used those girls ke


    when you could’ve simply told me how you felt. For


    God sake I was in love with you too back then and


    still am now! Treating me like your girlfriend when


    you were with other girls didn’t really rea*sure me


    that you wanted me in that way.” I hissed.


    He sighs.” I admit that I was going at it the wrong


    way. I should’ve confessed my feelings a long time


    ago. But it’s betterte than never, I’m not making


    that mistake again. I want you Ashley and I’m not


    letting you go.”


    “You promise?” My tone had now gone soft.


    “I promise.” His voice is thick with honesty as his


    eyes flickers down to my lips.”I want to take you


    out on a date.”


    The words fly out of his mouth so fast that I wasn’t


    expecting it. I start to choke on my saliva, shocked


    that he’d just asked me out on a date.


    “Why do you seem so shocked?” He questions in


    confusion after tapping my back.


    ” I just wasn’t expecting you to ask me out on a


    date.” I admit after catching my breath.


    He raised his brow. “Why is this a shock, we’re


    together aren’t we? Unless you have someone


    else-“


    I shook my head. “God no, I don’t want anyone


    else. It’s just this whole rtionship thing is new


    to me. Sometimes I feel like it’s just a dream that


    we’re together and at any moment I could just


    wake up and we’d be back as, friends.” I admit and


    looked away from him.


    “Sometimes it feels like a dream for me too.” He


    starts. I turn to face him, his eyes are already on


    me, watching me in admiration and love.


    It makes my pulse race. “A F*cking beautiful


    dream that I never want to wake up from.”


    He moves so quick that I didn’t even realize he


    was just a breath away from me. Face millilitres


    away, lips parted and so close that I could already


    taste his minty breath.


    His fingerse to tangle in my hair, tugging out


    my ponytail until my hair falls over my shoulder in


    thick loose curls.


    He draws my head forward and captures my lips


    into a slow and pa*sionate kiss. I could feel all his


    emotions pouring out and I was sure he could feel


    mine. When we finally pulled away to catch our


    breaths, we were panting like we had run a


    marathon.


    His forehead is pressed on to my own, his eyes


    closed like he was enjoying this moment.” Feel


    that?” He asks and opens his eyes.


    Blue meets green and we stare. Love reflecting in


    our eyes. “This isn’t a dream, this is reality. We’re


    in each other’s arms and nothing can pull us away.


    This is meant to be Ash, I know you could feel it


    too. We are meant to be.”


    I nod in agreement and lift my hand to brush my


    thumb over his soft pillowy lips.They were red from


    my kisses.God I love him. “So when’s the date?” I


    smile.


    He grins. “This Saturday and before you say that


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    you don’t want anyone to find out about us yet,


    I’m rea*suring you that no one will see us. It’ll just


    be the two of us far away from prying eyes.”


    I like the sound of that.
