Forbidden

Chapter 57

Hudson's POV:

"She likes me?" Kerem almost yells shook.

"I should've not told you that actually. But I was not that shook that you were her high school crush, I mean it's not like she would've ever hanged out with other guys than you." I chuckle and his eyes are even more widespread than before.

"She likes me since high school? Oh my God, I'm so stupid!" He curses himself.

"Oh shit, I should've not told you that either. I'm so clumsy!" I should better just shut my mouth. But who cares, I've already embarrassed Meredith enough. She's going to kill me.

"Why are you even mad at yourself? You just found out the girl you like already likes you since you know each other. That would be good news for me." I motivate him. I really don't get him.

"No, I'm mad at me because in high school I told Meredith when I fell for Ashley. She must be hurt then." He says and I shake my head if I heard right.

"You had really a crush on Ashley AND hurt my sister by telling her?!" I yell and he hushes to remember me that it's the middle of the night and all are sleeping already. Ashley told me his crush for her was just a rumour.

"Yes I know I'm an ass for telling Meredith and don't worry since Ashley left her family to come to you I lost my feelings." Kerem explains and calms me.

"If I was in your situation I would tell her that I like her. Like Ashley says: truth is the best way out!" I say to calm him but I actually don't believe her quote. Truth makes sometimes things worst than it is. It depends on the time when you use it. But Kerem and Ashley are probably the same people so it's no big deal.

"I know you're right I should tell her. But when?" He says desperately.

"Tomorrow. Just as soon as possible. And do it alone, not when I'm there, please." I say.

"Because it's awkward in front of her brother?" He guesses.

"No, because she kills me when she finds out that I told you, of course!" I say annoyed. He chuckles and I join him.

"Ok, I think I know how I'll do it." He says sure but I don't question it.

Ashley's POV:

"He really did it. Hudson didn't say a word for you!" Meredith says excitedly.

"I know. I can't believe it either." I say blushing.

"He's probably vomiting right now!" She laughs and I join. I felt guilty for putting salt in instead of sugar but it's our tradition. I actually didn't want to but Meredith begged me to. She saw it in many Turkish series and wanted to try out by herself.

"Kerem recognized it." I say provoking her.

"K.," She says pissed.

"What's wrong?" I ask worriedly.

"It's just... He hangs out with me and shows the signs but he does nothing." She says sadly.

"Oh... Honey, I think he just is unsure about you. I mean, he doesn't want to make any mistakes and if he maybe has feelings for you he just doesn't tell because he wants to be sure you do. If you don't he would tell and make your situation worse." I comfort her.

"Yes, I know but I show him obvious signs. He should know now that I like him." She says desperately and hugs me tightly so I fall back on my bed with her cuddling.

We stay like this till we fall asleep. The next day we're full of sweat from cuddling and still have our clothes from yesterday on. We wake up and crack up. Then we both take a shower and dress up. It's 1 p.m by the time we finish. Hudson called me earlier that he and Kerem want to meet with us. Meredith first hesitates but then she probably feels sorry about me and says yes. And I jump in happiness. The time flies and we already met them.

"Askim!" Hudson says with a bad Turkish accent. That means like 'darling' in English. I didn't know he knows this word. But the time I see Kerem chuckling I realize what's going on.

"Askim?" I ask trying to hide my giggle but I fail.

"Did you fool me, you dick!" He turns to Kerem but he immediately holds his hands up like in innocence.

"No, I'm just laughing about your bad accent that's all." I chuckle and everyone joins me.

"I'm trying my best." He says acting like a baby and then I hug him to apologize.

"Guys, can we have a moment alone? I mean, we've officially engaged now so no worries." Hudson says to Kerem and Meredith and we all chuckle. He grabs my hand after they both nodded and kidnaps me.

We just walked through the Bellevue when he told me that Kerem had a surprise. He didn't tell me exactly what but he was sure that Meredith is going to tell me soon.

After 15 minutes Meredith calls me to meet again as Hudson knew she would tell me I'm pretty excited. When I see them from far I get even more excited to know but when I finally notice her look I see tears. Her eyes are bloodshot and she wipes her tears with her right wrist. Then she walks faster than Kerem and hugs me tightly.

What did the hell happen?
