Pashley: A Strictly Journey

Part 5: Struggles for ash and Kvetching Kevin

I didn't stop crying until I got home, I'd just let a man kiss me twice, and I actually enjoyed it! Sure it wasn't a full on snog but it still made me feel uncomfortable. I ran inside and leapt on the sofa, cluching a pillow, oceans of tears flooding on to the fabric. I grabbed the phone and pondered weather to report him for rape. In the end I decided to give over, after all I didn't stop him or anything, i just really needed to know if I could trust him.

I arrived at the studio and noticed pash thankfully wasn't there, I looked around and located the nearest pro, aljaz was standing in the doorway so I began to approach him. "Hey aljaz" I chirped, "hey ash" he replied, "do you need anything"?. "Not really, just some advice, well, pasha kissed me yesterday, twice, without my consent, it wasn't a snog or anything, but I still feel kinda uncomfortable, I just need to know if i can trust him". "What, Pash" he began, "honestly Ash, he is the kindest, sweetest, most gentle and lovely man you will ever come across, idk if he was on the wine by any chance, but he has no intention to harm you whatsorver". I just realized I'd been raving over nothing, I can be such an obnoxious idiot at times. I thanked aljaz and turned around, pasha was stood directly behind...

He stared at me, right in the eyes, I could tell he was whelling up. "Pash wait, it's not what it looks like", I rushed. "It's ok, he replied, you'll just have to go on without me I suppose". He left the room as a sharp tang of guilt overcame me.

Pasha POV:

I looked back at Ash one final time and locked myself in the toilet, dainty tears dripping from my face like rain trickling down a window pain. I held my cheeks in my hands and sat there, just thinking, "why did I kiss her in the first place", I knew it was wrong and she deserved a sincere apology. I unlocked the door and walked towards the studio entrance. However, before I could reach the door, I felt a hand touch me, it grabbed my ear and yanked me round the corner out of sight, and reach of anyone else. I looked down, it was Kevin. "Kevin, mate, what are you" his hand cuffed my lips and muffed my words. "I've seen what you've been doing with Ash, kissing her, hugging her all that jazz you know, oh pash, you really do think the world revolves around you". I quickly escaped for a fresh breath of air. "The last three series, you've had frankly dreadful partners, Carol, need I say more, the tomboy  newsreader, And that fat cow who couldn't dance for shit"! "It's very apparent that you're playing Ashley, you want the producers to see the chemistry and be paired together aren't you"?. "Want my advice, don't let lust get the better of you, and stay away from Ashley, she's mine!". "You never know, you could end up with that  cockney old twat with bunny teeth!".

He walked away and left me alone in the corner, I just stood stock still, thinking, am I really doing this for my own benefit? Is this all me? I decided to avoid Ash and stay low for a while, maybe Kevin was right, maybe I do think the world revolves around me...
