Dark roots

Chapter 33

ASHLEY POV:

The next morning I woke up with a throbbing head, I still felt a little nauseous from having too much to drink last night. I snuggled deeper into the matrass and enjoyed the warmth of my bed a little longer.

A hand wrapped around my waist and tightened it's grip, pulling me deeper into a hard chest. I started panicking a little since I couldn't remember hooking up with someone last night. But when I thought back about yesterday, it was all still a bit of a blur.

I peeked over my shoulder and saw a glimpse of Jhonny's face right before he buried his face deeper into my neck. While I slowly moved my head back, I felt my breathing turn heavy. This is wrong because it feels so good, feelings of guilt washed over me when I thought about Simon.

"I can hear your brain working overtime, relax Ashley we didn't do anything." Jhonny's voice whispered in my ear which gave me goosebumps.

He loosened his grip a little and I used that to turn around so I was facing him. His beautiful blue eyes stared right at me. I could feel his breath on my skin and when he brushed his finger over my cheek to move a strand of hair behind my ear, my heart stopped.

I swallowed down the lump that got caught in my throat. My body was reacting to his and demanded attention from him but I couldn't get my mind to work along. I cast my eyes down to stare at anything but his piercing eyes.

"Jhonny I can't do this. I may be catching feelings for you but I also still care about Simon. The last thing I want to do is hurt you and risk losing you." My voice was hoarse and displayed how strong my feelings were.

"I know," He placed his finger underneath my chin to lift up my head so I had no choice but to look at him. "I like you a lot but I also care about Simon and couldn't forgive myself if I stole the best thing that ever happened to him."

"Are you going after Chloe?" I said in a failed attempt to lighten up the mood.

"Please, you're way better then her. He'd be an idiot is he picked her over you." He said with a big grin on his face.

"I think he already did. I found one of her earrings next to his bed." I confessed. The need to talk about it with someone was strong and ever since I met him, I could always tell Jhonny anything without being afraid he'd judge me.

"That doesn't mean anything. She is manipulative and deceiving, Simon cares about you."

I shook my head as if it would make the negative thoughts in my head go away. If only things were that easy.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't talk about this with you, it's not fair." I gave him an apologetic smile.

"Don't apologize, we'll always be friends so you can tell me anything."

My heart filled with warmth and joy after hearing his words. I couldn't even imagine losing Jhonny, not having him to talk to or missing out on his dumb plans to cheer me up. They were usually stupid yet he never failed to put a smile on my face.

We stayed in bed talking for a little longer before he practically dragged me out of bed and told me to get freshened up. He'd make me some breakfast and help me get rid of this hangover.

Half an hour later, I went to the kitchen after a long hot shower and sat down on one of the chairs placed at the kitchen counter. I watched Jhonny make me some breakfast, why is it so hot when a man cooks?

The breakfast did miracles and I felt a lot better after having some food in my system, so we decided to go to the training area and work out together. We went to do some exercises when all of a sudden I felt sick to my stomach again.
