CHAPTER TEN
Melody
I woke up in Asher’s arms. We’d made love three times. After the last time, we’d both fallen asleep. I decided to call it “making love” in my mind and not just fucking. The word fucking sounded sexy when Asher said it, but for me, this time with him was more than just fucking. It was more than just sex. It would be forever ingrained in my mind as the most wonderful experience of my life. Asher would always be my first love. Always had been, always would be. No matter how many other guys I might be with in the future. I glanced at the clock on my phone. It was six thirty-two in the morning. If we didn’t want anyone to find out about us, I needed to go home.
I quietly shoved the covers aside, got out of the bed, and tiptoed to the bathroom. I picked up my clothes that lay piled on the floor and quickly got dressed. I would need to sneak into my apartment. I didn’t want to wake Erica. I didn’t want her to know I’d been with Asher. We were roommates, but that’s about as far as our friendship went. We weren’t that compatible. I liked sushi; she didn’t, and would always make a face whenever I brought it home. I enjoyed action movies; she wanted sappy love stories. I was fairly neat and liked a clean apartment, but she was a neat freak and always complained about stupid little things like the dishtowel not being properly hung on the hook. Hell, if it made it to the hook, I was a happy camper. Who cared if one side was longer than the other?
This wasn’t the first time I’d ever fallen asleep at Ash’s place while watching a movie or something, but I’d always stayed on the couch. This time, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to hide the fact that I’d sleptwithAsher. Though sleeping only took up a small fraction of what we’d actually done. I came out of the bathroom and he was still asleep so I headed out to the living room and out the front door, closing it softly behind me until it latched.
I pulled my key out of my pocket and quickly unlocked my apartment door. I went straight to my bed and climbed in. Clothes and all.
God, I’d had sex with Ash.
Yanking the covers up to my chin and burying my face into my pillow, I smiled and reflected on the night we’d spent together.
As much as we’d talked about nothing changing between us, that we’d always be best friends, something had changed tonight, and I feared that Ash and I would never be the same. I would always look at him differently. I’d always know how it felt when he kissed me. I’d always know how it felt to have him move inside of me. And I’d always know how wonderful it felt when we climaxed together. And I’d always wonder if he thought of us and what we’d done when he looked at me; if he thought of me the same way I was thinking of him. He’d never be just my friend. He would forever be my first love.
Then I cried.
