I never thought that I'd think a person was refreshing, and I'm not talking about that, 'I just took a drink of cold water after playing outside all day long' type of refreshing.
I'm talking about the feeling of fresh bedroom sheets that hug you in...

Ashton's pov
"Pause, you said what?"
"I miiiight have told Joliè that I could fall in love with her. I'm not going to deny it, because I actually mean it, horrifyingly enough"
"Ti, you sure you ain't just being impulsive? You know how you get when you off the meds-"
"Aht, I assure you. This is not just out of the blue or because of the meds. The way I've been thinking these last few weeks, the things I've been feeling? Honest to the powers that be, I am deeply serious about this"
"Damn Ti... Shit heavy, especially after the summer we fucking had"
I hear the quiet groan before a deep sigh from the opposite side of the phone as I move from my chair on the balcony to my feet. I look out towards the sea just admiring the gorgeous view giving us both a moment to sit with our thoughts.
"I can't believe this is my life. You know? Like, a year ago, I was sure by now I'd be planning my wedding, yet somehow I'm falling deeply into something I've never experienced before, nor expected to have and with my fucking soulmate of all people.
Like what the fuck kinda shit is that? Rell, are you fucking hearing me? This is insane" I say with conviction, the longer I speak, the more my voice becomes animated with Rell laughing as my voice gets higher.
"Man, I thought for sure I'd the one freaking out over a new relationship. I'm fuckin' cryin' at you being piss ass scared bruh. How you even know she your soulmate. Like you not finna just keep slidin' by that. That shit is deep" He says with a few chuckles.
"Relationsh- Hold on, I ain't even sa- Rell stop fucking laughing, this is serious" I groan frustratingly as I rub my fingers across my forehead.
"You ever have deja vu? It's like every time I get deja vu, it's a scene of a different life, one I never lived. It's like watching a movie about yourself with actors who look exactly like you, but aren't" I retort quickly cutting him off before he does the same right back towards me.
"Ashton, if you don't grab yourself by the balls and make a move on that girl. I'm not finna baby you and watch you sit there pussying the fuck out. If you gonna be serious enough to tell her you could fall in love, you'd better be serious enough to date her"
I inhaled deeply as I gripped the railing while I processed what Rell was saying. Am I really gonna tell her I could fall in love, but not tell her we could date? Am I even ready to really date?
I would hate for something similar to my last relationship to happen to us. In fact, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't survive that again. I'm aware she's not my ex, however I can't help but to keep it in the back of my head, it still bothers me that I got betrayed.
