Chapter 89 - Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste 
Ashley‘s pov 

He crossed his arms over his chest and the way his legs stayed firm on the floor reminded me of when he was about to have a light. His lips set into a thin line of disapproval. 
His eyes, the beautiful blue color was now a deep blue, like hot steel. He was furious. For what I didn‘t know. My brows furrowed in confusion. 
“Yeah we‘re close.” I nodded answering Blake‘s pending question. 
I didn‘t lie but the look on Blake‘s face told me that I probably should have or at least worded it out better. Because the frown that marred his face told me he wasn‘t pleased with my answer. 
Ryan threw his arm casually around my shoulders and pulled me towards him in a half hug. 
“Yeah that‘s my girl,” Ryan chuckles. 
Blake‘s blue eyes darken considerably and drops to stare at the arm around my shoulders.He glares jaw clenching. And then it finally clicks. Blake was jealous. I didn‘t know if to be happy or alarmed. 2 us to act this way. We had no feelings for he flinches away, glaring down at me. “Why did you do that?” He whines lowly, rubbing his stomach where I confused at first but turn to face Blake who was still glaring at the two of us. “Really? How long I blinked back 
is happening here Blake. Ryan and I have been best friends since forever. All three of us were inseparable. There but just the thought of liking you turn to face him and narrow my eyes. “Gee thanks.” I rolled my eyes shrugs. 
was okay with the way you two acted? You two are awfully close 

for me to 
Ryan as my brother and he sees me as his sister. There is nothing going on between us.” I wanted him face as if looking for my car, I‘ll go get 
Now it was just us two. It was awkward and the air felt tense around us. I chewed my lip and looked at him. 
He clears his throat.” So who‘s Kimberly?” He questions. He was trying to ease the tension and it was working. I gave him a soft smile and his eyes softened from how hard it had been a few minutes ago.” She‘s Ryan‘s girlfriend. She‘s also pregnant.” My eyes danced with amusement when Blake looked embarrassed. 
He scratches the back of his head.” Oh.” 
I nodded. “They‘re in love. You know like those sappy couples that send goo goo eyes at each other even when they‘re in the same room and just a few feet apart. We were kind of like them before.” Then my voice lowers as if I was about to give him a huge secret. “Don‘t tell anyone but we were way worse.” I whispered my eyes twinkling with mirth. “We were inseparable, like two peas in a pod. We kind of never wanted to part even when you were on 
deployment. Those days were the worst.” My voice cracks at the end and the air suddenly gets back tense. Blake‘s face saddens.” But you were happy right? Even when I left for months you never regretted marrying me?” Why did it feel like he needed to know the answer badly? 
“There is nothing I would trade that for. You were my life and even though you can‘t remember me and the times we shared, you still are. It was your dream to serve our country and even though you went with my heart every time you left I knew you‘d bring it back when you came home. I will never regret marrying you Blake, I‘ll do it over and over again.” I whispered truthfully. He breathes out a sigh of relief and then he smiles, pleased with my answer. “You know I never took myself for a sappy guy who would make goo goo eyes with his lover but somehow I believe your words. But let‘s keep this between us.” He chuckles. I giggled, wiping underneath my eyes. Somehow some tears had leaked out without me knowing Maybe that‘s why he changed the conversation, he didn‘t want to upset me more than needed. 

2/3 
My insides warm at the thought. “Noted.” I nodded and laughed when he sent me a wink “So Kimberly made me promise to give it to y‘all when it is still warm, she says the chocolate tastes better that way. But It‘s kind of cold so yeah lets keep this between us. A pregnant woman is seriously not to be messed with.” Ryan says coming back into the house with the box of cupcakes in his hand. 
He sees us standing there and just smiling at each other happily. 
He looks between us confused then smirks in amusement. “Okay who made the sexual joke? Was it you little Ash I didn‘t take you for the dominant kind.”
