"The
last time I sat on Ashton's bed talking about the Vincent boys, I had
told her that she needed to let both of them go. Even then, I knew she
wouldn’t be able to actually do it. They were so much a part of her
life. Beau especially.
“Is Sawyer dating?” I asked trying to sound as casual as possible.
Ashton let out a short laugh,”I wish.”
That
was odd. He was gorgeous, talented, athletic, polite, funny - how did
someone like him go six months without some girl managing to snag a
date?
"Not even one date?”
Ashton
shrugged and pulled her knees up to her chin wrapping her arms around
the front of her legs. “I think maybe one or two dates. Not sure. I
don’t ask. Sawyer still acts weird around me and Beau gets very
territorial if I bring up Sawyer. He doesn’t like me talking about him
much.”
How
sad for Sawyer. Ashton had been a big part of his life since they were
twelve. Now, he couldn’t really talk to her anymore without Beau
standing over them. As much as I wanted Sawyer over Ashton, I didn’t
like the picture in my head. Sawyer alone bothered me. He didn’t deserve
that. He’d been so good to both of them.
“Welcome
to the Jungle” started blaring from Ashton's cell phone. She reached
over and picked it up from the table beside the bed. I didn't miss the
silly grin on her face.
“You can not already be in bed,” Ashton purred into the phone. That had to be Beau."
