I closed the door and leaned on it with my hands on my chest.

Was this real?

I couldn't stop smiling. He told me I was his.

All his.

Tash came to where I was and I started walking towards her.

"Look, Ash, just listen to me before you--" Before she could finish, I hugged her.

"Thanks, Tash. I don't know what I'll do without you" I said to her.

She was confused and lost.

"Wait, so you're not mad or anything?"

"Well, I was. Like how could you go behind my back and plan this even after I'd told you that I didn't wanna hear him out"

"Ash, I know and I'm--"

I cut in again, "But, I'm glad you did. I love you so much, Tash. If it weren't for you, I would have married someone I didn't love" I said to her.

"Aiden barged in here demanding to know where you were and I gave him the key to the penthouse so he'd see that you're not in love with him. I kinda knew you and Levi would be getting back together. You did, right?"

"Yes, we did and I'm just so happy. And as for Aiden, I gave him back the ring. His words scared me, Tash" I said to her.

"Girl, tell me everything that happened. Every single detail" We sat down on the couch.

I told her everything and what Aiden had said to me. It still gave me shivers thinking about it.

"Tash, he told me I am his world and he'll never let me go"

"No way... OMG!!!" She squealed.

"Hearing those words made me so happy. Like Tash, I'm his. His woman" I said.

"You two were made for each other"

"We're going on a date tomorrow. He said he had a surprise for me."

"Am gonna help you get dressed," She said. "Ash, I'm glad you're happy again. I just want to see you smile...always"

"And you're the best friend ever. I wish you were my sister, Tash"

"Hey, I am your sis and I've always got your back," She said with my hands in hers.

"I've got your back to"

"And together, we're gonna kick everyone's ass if they mess with us," We said in unison.

We both laughed.

When we were kids, we'd always say that. It was our...motto, yeah.

I just don't know what I'd do without Tash.

Damn! I love that crazy bitch.

"Raph has traveled for business so what do you say about a girl's night, huh?"
