<completed>Promise (Juliantina)

31

Ashleigh slowly bends down to meet Jul's lips, Jul literally has chills going down her spine. What is she even thinking, she will be cheating on Val if she lets Ashleigh kisses her...

Suddenly, Jul's phone rang. Val's name appeared on Jul's phone screen...

Ashleigh looked up to Jul's phone on the counter top, gesturing to it. "Are you going to pick that up or you can stay here and we can continue with the fun?"

The phone continues to ring until it gets cut off. Jul grabs Ashleigh's tank top and pulls her down. She can feel Ashleigh's breath on her face, so darn close that her lips is just finger away from Ashleigh's.

Jul closes her eyes and whispers to Ashleigh, "I'm so sorry I can't, I have to go." She kisses Ashleigh's cheek, calls out to Diego and sees herself out.

Jul was mumbling to herself on her way out, "OMG, what have I done???... What is wrong with me, this is not me... Ashleigh, she is a witch..."

Still in shock, Jul's face looks like a sheet of paper. Val was talking about her day and asking Jul's whereabout but she seems to be hearing nothing. Jul just sat down on the floor and pretends to play with Diego, clearly her mind is at somewhere else.

The doorbell rang, "I will go and get the door."

Ashleigh is standing outside with Diego's chewable toys, Jul must have forgotten about them when she left in a hurry.

"Hi Valentina, I came to return these."

"Oh I didn't know Jul has gone over to your place, thanks for bringing them over to me. Hey, do you want to come in and have a drink?"

"Sure!"

Ashleigh gives a faintly smile and follows Val in. Val closes the door and walks towards Jul, Val drops the toys, Diego grabs it with his mouth and runs towards the kitchen. Ashleigh follows suit.

"Babe, are you alright?" Val places her hand on Jul's arm, Jul might have jerk a tiny bit. "Ashleigh came to return Diego's toys and I invited her in for a drink."

"What?! Yeah sorry, I'm good. My head is at somewhere else."

"Are you sure you are alright? You look pale..."

Jul immediately stood up looking for Ashleigh, she saw her playing with Diego like nothing has happened just now.

"Must be my period, it's tiring me out. Oh I must have been too tired that I forgotten to take those with me when I left her place..."

"I assumed you guys chatted. Babe, you look really tired, why not you go and have a early rest... You can tell me about it tomorrow, I can do the entertaining on our behalf?"

Val kisses Jul's forehead and then Jul made her way up to the bedroom. "I'm sorry Ashleigh, I'm not feeling too well so I'm gonna to head upstairs to rest."

"Ashleigh, do you want red or white wine?"

"White will be good. Thanks Valentina."

Ashleigh made an excuse to use the bathroom and followed Jul up. Ashleigh caught Jul before she steps into the bedroom, she corners Jul and whispers into her ear, "I'm always here for you, if you ever need me." She boops Jul's nose, gently gives a soft peck on Jul's lips and goes back down to find Val. Jul swears she could feel butterflies in her stomach when Ashleigh did that to her.

Jul shuts the door and immediately goes into the bathroom to take a cold shower. But her finger unknowingly wanders all over those places that Ashleigh has touched and finally her own lips.

Jul can't stop thinking about the kiss... She shakes her head to stop the nonsensical thought and she quickly tucks herself to bed, hoping that the feelings will be gone by tomorrow morning.

She tosses back and forth, she just couldn't fall asleep. Her mind is filled with Ashleigh and the kiss. She is doomed.

Jul couldn't figure it out what game is Ashleigh playing, claiming that Val is her type but It was her that she made a move on.

She got up from bed and went down to seek Val for some comfort, hoping by then Ashleigh has left. But she saw Diego lying on Ashleigh's lap on the couch while Val is sipping on her red wine. The two were happily chatting and laughing away. She feels guilty just looking at Val so she decided to go back up again.

Looks like she needs to have that talk with Ashleigh to sort her thought out.
