Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste Chapter 116

Ashley’s pov

“Remember when Blake fought with Ryan so he’d be the groom when the three of them were playing wedding?” Ryn laughed and mom joined her. Dad’s face turned into a fake frown. “That little shit already knew he’d marry my baby girl. If I had known I would’ve tapped him to his dad’s jeep.”

Ace sent him a glare. “Hey man, not the jeep.”

We all laughed, well I managed a small barely heard giggle. But it’s not full of emotion like everyone hoped. They were trying to get my mind off Blake. But it wasn’t working. Rosalie sat beside me typing on her phone for the past two minutes and dad and mom sat across from me with Ryn and Ace. They left Avery with aunty Rose. I swear we had taken the entire space for the waiting room.

There were a few other people around as well, some who looked at me like I had lost my mind. I know I looked like a mess with still wet hair and a tank top with shorts. I was the definition of a mess.

“Imagine he followed me around when we were younger but his puppy little eyes always strayed to Ashley. It was kind of funny and cute.” Christal chuckled. I had introduced her to my family and she fit right in.

Everyone laughed but I couldn’t seem to bring myself to. They were saying so much good memories that Blake doesn’t even remember and it fucking hurt. Especially since he wasn’t there to hear them.But they didn’t seem to notice my mood, well not as yet.

Rosalie leans towards me and whispers. “I told Arden where I am, he’s on his way.”

I nodded wanting to see my brother who I haven’t seen in weeks due to his busy schedule and mine as well. At least he’ll say something to annoy me that will probably make us end up in a spat of words. But that’s what I needed right now, not going down memory lane without Blake there with me.

An all too familiar red haired came rushing round the corner and upon spotting us came strutting over. He looked like he had run over here honestly and seemed to be on duty judging by his uniform. “Any word on how Blake is doing?” Ryan asked me. I stood up to hug him.

“The doctor came earlier to notify me that he’ll be fine but he still needs to run some extra tests to be sure.” I said

back down on the uncomfortable chair.

Ryan nods and turns to face Christal. He sends me a confused look. “Oh this is Christal. You should know Christal, she was the girl Blake followed around until she moved in sixth grade.” There is no hostility or jealousy as I spoke. “Ahh oh right that Christal. I remember now.” Ryan responds too exaggeratedly to seem as if he was telling the truth in remembering her. “Well nice to meet you again Christal.” He smiles genuinely and shakes her hand.

Christal grins cheekily. “The pleasure is all mine. Glad to see that you got rid of the braces.” She giggles. Ryan cringes. I chuckle because I knew that Ryan did not like to be reminded of his past, especially when he had braces on and played with frogs that he now hates. One slapped his cheek with its tongue that later brought on his resentment for the little amphibians. He had it coming anyway. “Right. Let’s not mention this when Kimberly gets here.” He says and goes to sit down further away from us. Poor boy was probably scared that Christal would spill more of his past.

Mom and dad were busy talking to Ace, Ryn and Ryan while Christal and Rosalie chatted. They tried to let me in on the conversation but my mind seemed to be a bit too far. They later gave up and conversed between the two of them.

I was nearly startled when I spotted Arden rounding the corner followed by Liam. He sees me and smiles walking over to us.I stood up. “Well you look like shit.” Those were the very first words he said to me before pulling me into a hug. “Arden Grey, that is no way to speak to your sister.” Mom gasp but Arden doesn’t respond or apologize. Not that I was expecting him to, this is Arden after all.

I rolled my eyes pulling away. “Gee thanks, that’s what every girl wants to hear.” I utter while he laughs. Pushing him to the side playfully I faced Liam who I hadn’t seen in weeks too. He was a real estate agent which required him to be on his feet a lot. I smiled, pulling him into a

hug.

” You dyed your hair.” I laugh. He had dyed it a lighter shade than his original color. It suited him well. He laughs pulling away. “Well I guess I had to do this to keep everyone from messing up Rosalie and I. I mean come on, I at least thought that by now everyone would realize that Rosalie has breasts and I do not. And obviously I am the nicer one out of us two.” “Why did you even come here?” Rosalie whines but it’s filled with humor. Of course she didn’t mean it in a harsh way.

Liam points at Arden. “I gave this idiot a ride since his car broke down.”
