Chapter 28

Ashley's POV:

He kissed me. Hudson really just kissed me! I can't believe this is my first kiss. Actually, I thought my first kiss would be perfect. Like somewhere in a beautiful park when we say to each other that we love us. But this is nothing I expected or even wanted.

To be honest, I like the way he kisses me gentle but with lust and I automatically kiss him like this too. As I realize what we're doing and that I'm mad at him I push him away and walk immediately out of his room. I enter Meredith's room but I don't know if I should mention this to her.

"Ashley? Why were you so mad at Hudson? What happened?" When she asks I have a blackout and don't know how to answer that. It's like I forgot that I was mad at him and even why I actually was mad.

"Ashley, are you ok?" Meredith cares and walks towards me. I'm still stuck at the door with her dress and high heels on.

"I-I'm just really tired. Can I just tell you later about it? I'm sorry." I say and finally can move to the bed.

"Of course." She says worriedly.

"It's nothing you have to worry about." I try to ease her mind. She just nods and tries to smile.

"He's really charming." I say after we wore our pajamas and lied on the bed.

"Right, isn't he! Now, do you want to tell me what happened?" Meredith asks curiously.

"Well, first we had fun and got really to know us but then... Hudson spied on us." I tell her.

"He did what? That's why he was so mad when he arrived at home though." She starts to laugh and I can't but laugh with her.

"Yeah, he told Trevor about my arranged marriage." I say and she immediately looks shocked.

"He did what?!" She says again but angry. I tell her everything about the date until I entered the house. Meredith switches from angry to shocked to romantic and angry again.

"I can't believe this really happened. My brother is a jerk." She says mad.

"Totally." I say and remember our kiss hours ago. When I realize that I'm smiling I shake my head to get rid of this thought.

"What's happening?" She smiles playfully.

"Nothing, I just was daydreaming. I want to rest my mind. Let's watch a movie." I nervously change the subject.

"Oh, we can't because Hudson has the DVD player but I can try with my laptop." She stands up and gets her laptop from her closet. As she tries to connect her laptop with the internet it doesn't work. Meredith tries to put on a DVD in it but it doesn't play. Well, no movie night for me then.

"I'm sorry. It doesn't work." She apologizes. I remember putting my After books in my bags before I left home so I think I'm going to ease my mind with this.

"No problem, I can also read my book anyway. I bought the whole After series in English." I say proudly.

"Oh wow, I already read it in German that's enough for me." Meredith laughs and I laugh with her. She actually doesn't read books but I gave her the After series in German I own and she liked it.

"I know it's late but I want to take a shower." She stands up and grabs her towel behind the door.

"It's ok. I read my book anyway." I say and she leaves the room and shuts the door.

I love to read this book. The movie of the first book is already out but I don't saw it. I don't even know the look of the cast. And I don't want to know it actually. I like the bad boy Hardin but if there is an ugly actor playing his role I can't read the books anymore. I know that's very dumb of me but I just can't.

Meredith doesn't know there is a movie because she wouldn't have read the books if I told her there was a movie. I'm reading the 3rd book now. I already read the first two books in English. And now there is Tessa being mad at Hardin like always and waiting for him to enter her room and apologize to her. As I read that Hardin finally enters Tessa's room the door opens. I immediately jump and move my head to see who it is. Hudson.
