Chapter Fourteen

Ash shows up at a quarter to ten. I’m not really surprised he left the party early. He’s always doing stuff like this for me, and it makes my stomach churn with guilt. I lean out my window, watching him get out of his car. More than anything I want to be happy with him and him alone. If I could make my feelings for Noah disappear, I would.

“Hey, gorgeous.” Ash smiles up at me. “Going to let me in or do I have to yell to you all night?”

“Door’s open. Come on up.” He smiles, realizing I’m inviting him to my bedroom, not the living room or den where we usually hang out. I think he sets a record with how quickly he’s in my room with his arms wrapped around me.

“I missed you.” His voice is breathy in my ear.

“I missed you, too.” I kiss his cheek first before finding his lips. His kiss is hungry, and I wonder if it’s because of our earlier conversation or if something happened at the party. My curiosity gets the better of me and I pull away, leaning my head back so I can look him in the eyes. “Everything okay?”

“Yeah. I just missed you.”

“That didn’t seem like the typical ‘I missed you’ kiss. What’s really going on?” I take his hand and pull him over to the bed, sitting cross-legged and waiting for him to tell me the real reason he’s acting like this.

“Promise you won’t get mad?”

Uh oh. “Go ahead.” I prepare myself for the worst. Liz threw herself at him. That has to be it.

“Well, everything was fine at first. I was hanging with Jackson like usual. But then Liz came over.”

My breath catches in my throat, and I squeeze my hands into fists. “What did she do?”

He sighs. “I wasn’t expecting it, and I pushed her away. You need to know that.”

“Did she kiss you?” My voice is high-pitched and screechy.

“No.” Ash puts his hands up, waving them frantically in front of me. “She came up behind me and wrapped her arms around me.”

My hands clench the bedspread. I’m going to kill her.

“I immediately took her arms off me and told her I’m with you. She apologized, and I left. I told Jackson I needed to meet you. He seemed upset by the whole thing. I think maybe he has a thing for Liz. I don’t know. It was all a little confusing.”

I knew something like this was going to happen. I knew Liz liked Ash. I warned him. But I can’t say all that. What Noah and I are doing is so much worse than Liz touching Ash like that. God, why can’t I be strong like Ash and just push Noah away? I can’t allow myself to think about Noah while I’m with Ash, but the alternative is thinking about Liz and that makes me want to scream. If I blow up at Ash, it will ruin everything. I have to try to be calm, no matter how much my insides are threatening to explode.
