Chapter 11

Ashley's POV:

Meredith and I were talking about any other ideas on how to get through this. We are sitting on her bed and still hugging since we arrived in her bedroom.

"Meredith it's not worth it. I am just going to marry Kerem right after I finish my language stay here. So, where's the bathroom?" I ask.

"Next to Hudson's bedroom." She answers with a sad look. When I see her being sad for me I get emotional. So before I start crying I walk out of her room. When I almost arrive at the door Hudson comes from the stairs. He's staring at me and before I can hide myself from crying, a tear falls down my cheek. When I want to turn away, he stops me from crying by holding his thumb on my cheek. Our faces are inches away and I've never seen in his eyes that deeply before. He has light green eyes with a tone of blue. He looks awfully sad. I get nervous by his touch but just as I can do something I rest one hand on his chest and feel his heart racing as fast as mine.

"Ashley!" Marie-Anne's voice from downstairs interrupts our intensive moment and we both jump. Before she comes I go to the bathroom and Hudson turns around to the stairs.

I am behind the bathroom door and hope that Meredith's Mother didn't see us. But talking about this... What was that? Did he just want to comfort me? Did he hear me when I talked with Samir? Is there anything I should be scared of? I don't know the answer to this question yet but all I know is that I felt close to him even though I met him yesterday in the middle of the night. But wow he has beautiful eyes I admit.

"Where's Ashley?" I hear Marie-Anne from the corridor.

"I haven't seen her, mom." Hudson lies. I can hear it in his voice that he's a bad liar.

"Ok, if you see her or Meredith tell them that dad and I are going to the Mall so if they need something we will take them." She offers. How sweet she is.

"Alright, I ask Meredith. If she comes then I'll come too." Hudson says. Actually, I really need some stuff to buy but I don't want him with us. That's getting weird after all this.

"But honey, our car is for four people remember? Then we're too much." Marie-Anne remembers.

"Ok, then you two go first and I'll take the girls in my car." Hudson offers. No, please it's getting even worst.

"Ok, good idea then bye, see you!" Marie-Anne greets and walks down. As soon as I can't hear her anymore I walk out of the bathroom.

"So, do you need anything from the Mall?" He asks nervously.

"Actually yes, I do need some things but I ask Meredith if she comes too." I say. Before he can reply to me I already head in Meredith's bedroom.

"Mer, do you want to go to the Mall?" I as immediately. Hoping she says No I get disappointed.

"Oh sure I need some stuff. But I'm first going to get ready and who is driving? I am too lazy to drive today." She says. Of course, she is lazy that's her job.

"Hudson says he'll drive us." I tell and go get my makeup and put them on my face. So I don't look like a cried out zombie.

"Oh no, he does never wait for me if I take too long." She immediately opens her closet and takes a white summer dress with pink little flowers out and a jeans jacket. I have the exact same dress so we plan to wear it together.

As we got ready in our partner outfits, Hudson already knocks on the door as a sign to get into his car. When we go outside I see an Audi R8 in Matt black. Wow, I am actually a Mercedes or BMW fan but this one looks very nice. I see Hudson starring at us.

"And how do you like our outfit, Hudson?" Meredith asks proudly.

"Identical." He's kidding. Meredith gives him a playful punch in his arm and he chuckles.

"You look pretty." He corrects and again he stares at me with those ocean eyes.

When we arrive at the Mall I get a call right before we enter. This time it's not Samir but my dad.
