Secrets

Riley Milton

I had woken up early the next morning.

I woke up so early, I watched sun rise. The orange glare peeled through the curtains and it was absolutely stunning.

Last night ended with me and Ash smoking joints outside on the little balcony that was there. We had gone to bed satisfied, after my encounter with Harry I needed a release knowing I would go crazy if I didn't have one.

And Harry was the reason I was awake at this ungodly hour. Even when I was with Ash, someone who I had been attracted to and messed around with for years, Harry lurked at the back of my mind.

When Ash kissed my neck I'd compare it to the few moments Harry kissed mine. And during the whole time I was having sex with Ashton, I pictured Harry above and it drove me insane.

I blamed it on getting high and drinking alcohol last night, sometimes mixing the two together doesn't always end well for me.

I turned my head to look back at Ashton. He laid on his stomach with his blonde curls all over the place, he was snoring peacefully and I knew he wouldn't wake up for another couple of hours.

Sighing, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and headed for my bathroom. I turned on the water and instead of waiting for it to cool up I stepped under the cold shower. I grit my teeth as the water pelted down on my naked body, feeling like icicles piercing my skin.

The water slowly warms up making me relax, I tip my head back and allow the water to wash away everything from last night. I run body wash over my body and lather my hair in shampoo and conditioner. I scrub my skin and I wash it again, I condition my hair once more before I turn off the water and step out of the shower.

I take my time to moisturise my skin and give myself a small massage in my legs and shoulders. My hands glide the moisturiser over my tattoos, I loved my tattoos. I loved every detail and I loved how different I looked to every other girl, I looked like a typical barbie with my blonde hair and blue eyes, but with black ink covering my body and I liked that.

Once I had sprayed on some perfume and deodorant I walked back into my bedroom, Ashton was still fast asleep in my bed. His face was smooshed into the pillow with small snores emitting from his lips.

I walked to my cupboard and found my black floppy pants, they sat high on my waist and cuffed around my ankles. I pulled out a pink cropped singlet and slipped or over my head, deciding to leave my bra off.

Pulling my flats on, I exited my bedroom quietly, really not wanting to wake Ashton up right before I leave. As I move out and door and shut it quietly behind me, I turn to see a disturbing yet happy scene in front of me.

A tall, blonde and tanned boy stands with his back to me. I already know it's my brother, the massive back tattoo of a tiger is the giveaway. The pair in the doorway don't even have to stop kissing and look at me, and I already know who it is.

"Georgia, Lucas cut it out." I whisper yell, feeling slightly disgusted. Lucas turns around with a shocked look on his face, while Georgia has a shit-eating grin going from ear to ear, her eyes are sparkling and she looks like she's on cloud nine.

"Hey, why are you awake so early?" Lucas asks and scratches the back of his neck. I fold my arms and walk over to the both of them, "You go and get dressed, we are getting breakfast and you go home and shower cause you stink."

Lucas salutes me and scurries, I watch as he winks at Georgia before disappearing down the stairs. I snap my head to Georgia, trying to hide my smile.
