Chapter 28
Ash
Ash wants to cry. CJ is a coward, and Ash deserves more than a coward.
All CJ had to do just then was kiss her!
Ash could not have given the invitation more obviously!
What a fucking idiot! She leans against the back of her door.
Half turns as if she might open it again.
Doesn’t. Turns back and then shakes her head, shakes herself out of this, into her new-found bravery, unlocks the bloody door and looks down the hall to …
Nothing. Nobody. CJ has gone. Anyway, what was she going to do?
Beg CJ to make a move? Ash can’t even decide if that is what she wants.
They’re friends. Pals! Homies! And maybe being attracted to CJ, being able to appreciate her beauty, her fucking hotness, is just a clue that Ash is not entirely straight, like she’s started to think.
The universe has put Aurora in her path, hasn’t she?
Feeling some type of way about CJ could simply be the first step in exploring her sexuality in a wider way.
This could be what all of this has been for – the love of her life could be a woman.
A realisation she might never have had in Bristol, and now she’s here, in Portugal, hanging on to the door handle, undecided if she should head down the corridor in search of CJ, or give up.
