BED OF ROSES
Ali backed Ash up against the door and grabbed her waist. She needed her touch and she was ready to take it either way.
“Ali, stop.” Ash gently pushed Ali off of her.”I can’t. You are drunk..” She said.
Ali stood there with her mouth slightly opened, she embarrassed herself again.
“You..You don’t like me, do you?” She tried to hold herself together.
“No, I like you. I really do, I just can’t do it when you are in this state. It wouldn't be fair to you.” She cupped Ali’s right cheek and pulled her closer, their foreheads touching. “I want it to be special.”
Ali nodded and pulled back.
“Don’t run away again, please..” Ash begged.
“I..”Ali sighed.”I won’t.”
She made her way to the bed and sat down. Seeing Ali like that broke Ash’s heart. She never meant to hurt her. Ash approached the bed and kneeled down in front of Ali even though every bit of her body was in pain.
“Do you still want me to stay?” Ash took Ali’s hands in hers and looked into her eyes.
Even though Ali wanted to feel every bit of Ash’s body on hers; she had to wait. She had to do it right.
“Yeah.. Yeah I want you to stay.” She pulled Ash up and signaled her to lie down next to her as she made her way into the bed. Ash listened and Ali covered them up.
“Are you in pain?” Ali tried to make a conversation.
“No, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” She pulled Ali closer which made her shiver. No matter how many times Ash touched her she would always shiver.
“This feels so good.” Ali scooted closer to her and placed her hand over Ash’s abs. She winced in pain and Ali removed her hand.”I’m sorry, did I hurt you?” Her eyes were full of worry.
“It’s okay, I don’t mind.” Ash smiled and placed Ali’s hand right where it was seconds ago.”I really don’t mind..” She closed her eyes and they both drifted to sleep.
It was 8:32 and Ali woke up first. Seeing the sun that was shining through the curtains and birds singing in the distance she thought that this was going to be a good day. That was until she tried to get up and a strong headache hit her.
“Jesus fuck!” She cursed not realizing that Ash was sleeping beside her.
“Mhm?” Ash mumbled turning her head to Ali, her eyes still closed.
“Sorry, I just have a terrible headache.” Ali threw her head back on the pillow burying her face in Ash’s neck.
“Do you want me to bring you something?” Ash asked finally opening her eyes.
“I don’t need anything. Just you.” The last part made Ash turn her head to Ali in the speed of light. She licked her lips and glanced at Ali’s.
Here we go. All or nothing Ash, all or nothing.
She cupped Ali’s left cheek and closed the space between them. Immediately the jolt of electricity ran through her whole body. Ali’s lips were so warm and soft, like heaven. It wasn’t until now that she realized that Ali was the drug that she needed the whole time.
She pulled Ali on top of her and placed her hands on Ali’s waist.
“God, you’re so beautiful..” Ash said pulling Ali down and crashing their lips together.
“I’ve waited so long for this.” Ali placed her hands on the edge of Ash’s boxers which earned her a moan. She quickly pulled away.
“Oh God, did I hurt you again?” Ali instantly felt guilty.
“Stop asking me that.” Ash narrowed her brows pretending to be angry.
“I’m sorry; I just don’t want you to feel uncomfortable.” Ali tucked a small part of Ash’s blonde hair behind her ear.
“The only way you can hurt me is by leaving me.” Ash entangled their fingers together.”I will always forgive you. No matter the situation.”
Ali gently kissed Ash’s lips and Ash gave into the kiss. Soon enough the kiss became more passionate and with every touch Ali wanted more and more. She licked Ash’s bottom lip asking for permission and Ash granted it. Their tongues moved in a perfect rhythm.
“I need more.” Ali begged as she bit down on Ash’s neck. She left a trail of hickeys from Ash’s neck to her collar bone.
Even though it hurt so fucking much, Ash gathered the strength to change their position. She was now hovering over Ali as she lied on her back. She ripped off Ali’s shirt and pulled her leg over herself so that they could be as close as possible. Ali placed her other leg the same way and pulled Ash down.
“Ash, please..” She closed her eyes and threw her head back.
“Please what?” Ash made her work for every bit of this.
“I need you to-“ Ali tried to say it but as soon as Ash ran her hand through Ali’s hair and sucked her earlobe, she lost it. She moaned, trying to finish the sentence.”I need you to fuck me, please.”
If Ash wasn’t horny enough, this definitely made her hornier. Ali didn’t have to ask her twice. She slid her hand in Ali’s underwear instantly feeling her wetness. Ali dug her nails in Ash’s back.
“I see you didn’t need too much..” Ash teased Ali, not giving her what she wanted right away.
“Ash, I’m begging you.. please..just..” Ali grabbed Ash’s hand so that she can’t get it out.”I need to feel you inside me.” She breathed in Ash’s ear which finally convinced her to give Ali what she wants. She slid two fingers inside of her and pumped slowly at first but as soon as she felt Ali contract around her fingers she started pumping faster.
“Oh God, I’m so clos-“ Ali finished her sentence with a loud moan.”Oh Ash, yes!” She held Ash’s hand a little bit longer and then let go.
Ash pulled away and supported her weight on one hand while the other was across her stomach. This was a bit too much for her after all. Ali quickly sat up and placed her hand on Ash’s. Even though she was still out of breath and shaking. “Ash baby, look at me.” Her head was down and Ali was panicking way too much.”Look at me!”Ash’s head was still down and tears were falling down on the sheets. “Ash, I am taking you to the hospital!”
Ali got up and put some shirt on that she found in Ash’s closet as well as her boxers and shorts. She grabbed her car keys and helped Ash up.
“Ali I can’t, it hurts too much!” Ash cried.
“I know baby, but you have to-“Before she could finish the sentence, Ash fell down on her knees. Ali was terrified; she didn’t know what to do. She felt warm tears on her cheeks, she was crying.
“I’ll call the ambulance, hang on Ash.” She took the phone that was on the night stand and realized it was hers; Ash had it the whole time.
Ash was trying to stay strong, she didn’t want to cry in front of Ali but as soon as Ali sat down behind her and pulled her into a hug, she lost it. She was sobbing and gripping Ali’s shirt while the tears were falling down on Ali’s hands.
The ambulance came quickly and they took Ash to the nearest hospital, but not before Ali could jump in the back of the ambulance.
“Sorry Ms. Krieger, but you can’t be here.” One paramedic said as he was tying Ash with the safety belt.
She stared at him angrily, tears streaming down her face.”She is everything I have and I’m going!”
He stopped to think about it and finally gave into it.”Fine, but don’t get in the way, please.”
She nodded and they arrived at the hospital 15 minutes later. Ali was holding Ash’s hand the whole time even though Ash wasn’t really conscious.
“Hold on baby, we are almost there!” Ali squeezed Ash’s hand and Ash did the same.
They rolled her in the ER and one of the nurses stopped Ali just before the entrance.
“Sorry Miss, but this is as far as you go.”
This sentence shattered Ali’s heart into million pieces. She was supposed to be in there with Ash, holding her hand the whole time, she promised.
The first thing that came to her mind was Whitney. She didn’t know what happened.
Ali took her phone out and dialed Whit’s number. It was ringing, good.
“Yo Ali, what’s up?” Whit was driving home after the breakfast she had with Kelley and Johnston.
“Ash is in the hospital, can you come, please?” Ali was breathing heavily and Whit knew that it was serious.
“I’m on my way!” She turned around in the middle of the road and threw her phone on the passenger seat. “You just can’t rest, can you? Shit!” Whit cursed knowing how stubborn Ash was. She arrived in 10 minutes and ran to the ER. Ali was sitting on the floor hugging her knees and looking at the door.
“Ali!” Whit ran to her and embraced her in a tight hug.
“Whit, I’m so scared! I can’t lose her!” Ali sobbed in Whit’s arms as Whit ran her hands though Ali’s hair, trying to calm her down.
They were interrupted by the doctor who was working on Ash.
“Excuse me, Ms. Krieger?” He guessed. Ali got up and approached him.
“Yes, that’s me! Tell me, is she going to be okay? What happened?!” Ali nervously grabbed the hem of her shirt.
“She has three cracked ribs.” Doctor looked at the papers and then at Ali, he was confused.”How did that happen? I mean aside the bruises all over her body she will be fine when the ribs heal.”
Ali’s mind immediately goes to the hickeys and the trail she left on her neck and collarbone.
“Thank you doctor. Can I see her now?”
“Not yet, we will get her to the room and you will be able to see her there. “ He looked at Whit and her and walked away still looking at the papers.
After a few minutes they got Ash into her room.
“You can see her now. Right this way.” The doctor guided them to the room and Whit hugged Ali’s shoulders right before they made their way into the room.
“Hey Whit, hands off my girl!” Ash smiled and looked at Ali.
Whit narrowed her brows and looked at both of them alternately as Ali made her way to the bed.
“How do you feel?” Ali asked.
Ash pulled her down and kissed her passionately. “Better.” She smiled still not opening her eyes.
Whit stood there in shock as they eventually made out.”Well finally!” She raised her hands up in excitement.
They both smiled at her and in that moment the doctor came in.
“Ms. Harris, you will be free to go as soon as we take care of the papers.” He called Ali out and she barely let go of Ash’s hand.
After half an hour they were finally on their way home. Whit was driving and Ali was on the back seat with Ash who was sleeping in her arms.
Whit turned her head slightly to the right, her eyes still on the road. “Thanks for being there for her. You are all that she has. You are her world.”
