My breath got caught in my throat. Why did we need to talk about Luke? Does Ashton know what Blair and I were talking about?
I reluctantly asked him, "What about Luke?"
"I just want you to know, whatever you do, do not let him get into your head."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't fall for him Riley. He's no good for you."
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.
"I just want you to be safe," he replied.
We continued into my room and I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I changed into my pajamas and got into bed.
Ashton wrapped an arm around me and I said, "don't you think it's kind of weird that we cuddle all the time?"
"No, why?"
I replied, "we're friends. You're also a guy and I'm a girl."
"What's wrong with that?" he asked quizzically.
"Nothing I guess."
We wound up falling asleep like that. Wrapped in each other's arms.
I woke up the next morning without Ashton next to me. I was still curious about what he said the night before about Luke.
I could smell bacon cooking. I guess Ashton wanted to make breakfast for all of us. I decided to walk downstairs into the kitchen. Ashton was standing there making pancakes with a huge pile of bacon in front of him.
"Good morning," he said groggily.
"Morning," I replied.
I was about to ask him about the night before but as soon as I opened my mouth, Luke walked in.
"Hi lad," Luke said.
"Hey!" Ashton said cheerily.
Luke then looked at me and smirked. What is up with these boys? Seriously.
I should listen to Ashton and be careful with Luke. I just really want to know why Ashton doesn't want me to like Luke.
"Riley," Ashton calls.
"Hmm," I say, still in a daze.
"Breakfast is done."
"Thanks for making me breakfast in my house," I laugh.
"It was my pleasure."
The boys both eat a heap of pancakes. I only eat three, but I consumed almost half of the bacon.
"Riley, today we have to go apartment shopping, remember?" Blair says.
"Oh yeah. Do you guys want to come?" I ask.
"Sure," Ashton says.
Blair and I are moving out of our parents' houses and into a mid-sized apartment since we are both almost done with college. Today we are going shopping for furniture and decorations.
"This couch is nice," I say. It is a fancy blue couch that is higher on the one end.
"We could get yellow pillows for it!" Blair yells.
"Oh my god Luke!" Ashton exclaims. "We could get matching bed sheets too!"
"Shut up," I say.
Luke looks over at me and smirks yet again. I smile. Ashton sees and throws me a dirty look. I mouth a 'sorry' and continue shopping.
Why do boys have to be so complicated?
