Chapter 21

Ashley's POV:

Wait, what? No. He can't catch feelings for me. We don't know each other enough to catch feelings. While I'm still thinking about what I should reply he is coming even nearer with his face to me. Our lips are two inches away. I am nervous and a little attracted to kiss him. Actually, I want to kiss him badly. As I come back to reality, I stop myself and push him softly with my hands against his breast.

"Hudson, I can't do that. First of all; you're the brother of my best friend. Second; I don't think that you're actually catching feelings for me. We don't know each other that good." I say trying to not hurt him. To be honest, I don't know if I mean every word I said but that's the best for all of us.

"You're maybe right, you are the best friend of my sister but she doesn't even matter if we get together. And since you're here I feel something I never felt before that way and I know you feel the same I can see it." He explains and holds with both hands my arms.

"I don't think so, Hudson. And even if this ever happens we can't be together. I won't say that again." I frown. He can't tell me what I feel that's for sure.

"Ashley..."

"Open the door, Hudson. Please." I harshly say and look down at the floor so I don't have to see his disappointed face. Even if he's making me mad I'm a person who forgives too quickly just to see somebody being disappointed because of me. But this time I have to be stubborn.

"Ok." He says and opens the door. I walk immediately out and to Meredith's room. She's still removing her makeup and I don't know what to do for a moment. I just stare at her. When I get back to myself I grab a tissue and start removing my makeup too. Meredith doesn't question anything but I guess she's just too mad at her brother because he yelled at her senseless. Actually, I don't blame her. I'm mad at him too.

Two weeks are gone and Hudson and I didn't speak a word with each other. Sometimes he wanted to start a conversation but I ignored him. After one week Meredith and I watched a movie in the living room and Hudson appeared. He wanted to watch with us and the movie was actually really dramatic. The girl and the guy who are in love couldn't be together because their parents were enemies but after they fought for each other they accepted and let them marry. I cried so much at this and I don't know why but I felt this so much. Hudson couldn't stop staring at me while the movie and even more when I started to cry.

One day Meredith asked me if something happened but I pretended like I'm fine even if I wasn't. I feel bad not telling her the truth but I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable or even worse; she blames herself for that. As we were hanging out in her bedroom Camille calls her. Meredith puts her on the speaker and says hi.

"Meredith, do you have some plans today?" Camille asks immediately.

"Actually, no. Ashley and I are hanging out at home. Why?" Meredith says.

"Do you mind if Trevor and I are coming over to hang out? He's also asking if Hudson is around." Camille asks. Meredith looks at me and makes a sign if it's ok for me. Of course! I would love to see Camille again. She was so nice that day when we were out with her and Damon. As I nod with a smile at Meredith, she handles this.

"Of course you can come and Hudson is also around!" Meredith answers excitedly. She doesn't actually like her cousins except for Camille and Trevor did she tell me. I never met Trevor and she told me he's funny so I'm also excited to meet him later. As Meredith hangs up she goes downstairs to tell her parents and Hudson they're coming over.

After 1 hour they are already at the door and when I meet them there is Camille with a plain black T-shirt, mom jeans and Vance shoes with a black and white chess pattern. That's a completely another style as the first time I met her but I like it. And the tall guy behind her must be her brother Trevor because they look similar. He has very short brown hair but gold-brown eyes. And to be honest, he's good-looking.

After Meredith and Camille hug each other excitedly she does the same with me. But I don't matter I love hugs anyway. Trevor and Hudson hug each other also and when he turns to me he first stops and looks confused but still friendly.

"Have we had the pleasure?" He asks charming.

"I don't think so. I'm Ashley, Meredith's friend from Switzerland." I smile and hold my hand out. He smiles and grabs my hand and kisses it.

"I'm Trevor. Nice to meet you, Ashley." He smiles and let's go my hand. I try to not look shocked and smile back. Oh, wow I didn't expect this. As I look around all are staring at us. Especially Hudson.
