Hard to Love You

Chater 26

Tyler's POV

I moved her hair from her face, placing them behind her ear. I saw goosebumps rise on her but ignored them. She still enjoys my touch. Or maybe she's just cold..

I leaned closer to her and saw that she shivered again. Maybe she is enjoying my touch...

" Ashley."

She took a breath.

" Yes?" she asked quietly.

I was going to tell her everything. That she's amazing. That I love her. That she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. That she is strong. That I'm a dick for hurting. That I miss her. Miss her lips. The way we kissed passionately. The way I got a tingly sensation from touching her.

But I chickened out. I wasn't sure how she would react. And I guess being friends is as good as it will get. I should have broken up with Julie the moment I saw Ashley. But I didn't. And I will never know if we were meant to have a future with her.

I lied my head on her neck.

" I'm tired."

Ashley sighed. Was that disappointment? She rolled over so I was lying next to her. She faced the wall. I wanted to hold her.

" Me too. Go to sleep."

I frowned. She fell asleep quickly though to my surprise. I listened to her breath for about an hour. I leaned over and kissed her cheek gently.

" I love you Ashley," I whispered in her ear.

I lied back down and faced the opposite direction of her. I closed my eyes and fell into a restless sleep.

A bright light was shone into my eyes and I groaned, outing the pillow over my face.

" Get up bum."

I rolled onto my side and pressed the pillow tighter to my face.

" Im tired," I mumbled.

Ashley grabbed the pillow from my face and hit me with it. I groaned and looked at her annoyed. Even though she had on baggy sweats and a sweater on with her hair in a messy bun she still looked beautiful.

" I don't care. I made eggs and bacon. I left some downstairs for you. Daniel should be getting home in about an hour or so."

I got up and stretched.

" Where did he go?"

" Get some groceries. Now get washed up and eat ."

I brushed past her, bumping her shoulder with mine playfully. There was a hint of a smile on her face but I closed the door behind me in the bathroom. Damn she is perfect.

I got into the shower and took a quick run down then got on the same things. I brushed my teeth, gargled and flossed before washing my face.

I looked at my reflection. My green eyes looked at my reflection. My handsome face structure and my perfect build. My hair was plastered to my forehead and I wished I had my gel with me. I shook the thought and gave myself a dazzling smile then rolled my eyes to myself.

" I'm going to tell her today. I will get her back. I haven't missed her in about three weeks. I'm going crazy," I said to my reflection.

I nodded to myself before opening the bathroom door and jogging downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and saw Ashley eating at the table, flipping through a magazine.

" Eggs and bacon on oven," Ashley said with a mouthful.

I smiled and made myself a plate. I sat next to her and began eating. She didn't say anything. She seems mad.
