“Yeah. After not eating or drinking much over the past week, I guess my body just isn’t ready for food and alcohol.”
“Hi, Ash. Great performance tonight.” Lisa, the one with the big boobs, sashayed up close to Asher’s chest. Too close, if you asked me. She gave me a curt glance then resumed her attentions toward Ash. “What are you doing later?”
Ash smiled. I looked away. I couldn’t watch. She was all over him. I wanted to shove her away. No. I wanted to shove my fist down her dainty throat. Ash whispered something back to her. I couldn’t hear since the music had started up again.
Lisa smiled and walked away, winking at Asher as she did.
I felt sick. Again. I placed my hand over my stomach and cringed at the discomfort I was experiencing.
“Maybe we should go,” Ash said.
“I think that would be a great idea. Did you talk to Stan about leaving yet?” I asked as we walked backstage to grab our equipment.
“Yeah. I told him I’d be gone for about a month.”
“You’re planning to go for that long?” I was shocked.
He nodded.
“And Stan is okay with that? I thought we’d just take a vacation, go see your brothers and then come home,” I admitted as we headed for the door, our guitar cases slung over our shoulders.
“Yeah, he’s good with it. I thought about taking a short vacation, but what’s the point of just meeting them and leaving? I decided it would be good to just play it by ear. In case the meeting goes well and I want to stick around for a while, get to know them better. Are you under pressure to be home sooner? I have the money my mom left to live on for at least the next ten years. I think I can spend a little of it for this. I think she’d want me to.”
I smiled as Ash held the passenger side door of his truck open for me. “No. I agree. I think that’s a great idea.” I didn’t really have any reason not to stay with him for that long. I didn’t have a steady job. I did temp work in different offices around the city, but none of them were any place that I’d ever wanted to pursue a permanent position. I was glad to hear Asher sound so positive about the situation. It was nice that he’d come to terms with things and wasn’t so bitter about having half-brothers. Teddy’s death must have affected Ash in ways that I hadn’t realized, but I understood completely. Ted and Asher had been as close as brothers could be. I guess that made me somewhat like a sister, though my mind would never go there. Especially now that we’d had sex. Even if it was just that one time.
My stomach twisted in a knot. This sensation was different than pain. Suddenly, I hated the thought that I’d never be with Asher again that way. My mind visualized Lisa, and how just a few short minutes ago she’d pressed her chest up against his and breathed something into his ear, probably telling him where she’d be in about an hour. I didn’t relish the idea that she’d probably be sleeping with him tonight. One last fling before he left town. No, that wasn’t true. I hated it. Had to admit, ever since Ash and I’d had sex, I’d been jealous of the other women in his life. My feelings for Asher had only grown stronger since the sexual encounter, and I worried that they might not ever stop.
