Her Perfect Distraction

Chapter 14

CHAPTER 14

Yuri slowly woke up and it took her a while to notice that she was embracing Tasha who also fell asleep

“Oh boy, she’s not gonna like it when she wakes up and sees us like this” with that in mind, Yuri slowly moved her arm but Tasha reacted and pulled Yuri even closer. Now Tasha is slightly laying on Yuri’s chest with her arm on top of Yuri’s tummy which made it even more difficult for Yuri to move

“Okay, now what?...maybe I should try to lift her arm slowly..” Yuri thoughts were interrupted by a familiar fragrant smell

The fragrant scent slowly engulfed Yuri, stirring up the memories that coincided with the familiar aroma

Yuri closed her eyes as she slowly recognized who the scent belonged to, “the fragrance that’s almost identical to a full blown rose. It was Kaley’s scent, she smells just like her…”

Yuri then reached in and gently cupped Tasha’s face, slowly lifting it so that she could look at her up close. Seeing Tasha’s sleeping face, a sad and disheartened emotion overcame Yuri, along with the realization that the girl laying beside her with and the girl she wanted to be with are different and will forever be different

“She’s not her…it will never be her” Yuri closed her eyes, as the painful reality hit her once more. She quickly stood and went to the bathroom

As soon as Yuri closed the bathroom door, Tasha, started to stir from her sleep and was trying to find the warmth she felt earlier. She slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to know that she had indeed fallen asleep and that Yuri was not beside her

“Yuri!” Tasha called out “You in here?”

“Yeah!” Yuri’s voice echoed in the bathroom, “just taking a quick shower, I’ll be out in a sec”

But Yuri didn’t take a shower, instead she stood, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror. with puffy and watery eyes, Smelling her scent made her miss Kaley more and once again made Yuri feel the pain of losing her. 

Once she got herself together, she opened her shower and got in with her clothes on. Now drenched, she took a towel and dried herself off, changed her clothes and put on some concealing cream around her eyes to try and hide her cried out eyes

Meanwhile, Tasha sat up and tidied the bed then sat in front of Yuri’s dresser and started combing her messy hair

“Glad to see you’re making yourself at home. It’s not the same for me though”

Tasha turned and saw Yuri in a new pair of shirt and shorts, with a towel around her neck and with slightly wet hair

“Yeah, I’ve been here for a while, so it is home for me, I guess” Tasha answered, then put down the comb, “sorry for falling asleep on your bed, with you, earlier”

Yuri smirked, “You know this is the second time you said sorry to me“

“Yeah I’m not too fond of saying it to you but I did something I should be sorry for so yeah”

Yuri chuckled

“What’s so funny?” Tasha asked

“Nothing, it’s just that it’s always the little things that you’re sorry about. I find it funny that you’re like that”

“And I find you weird for finding that funny” Tasha retorted, “Anyway, can we talk about our dance routine now”

Yuri nodded then sat at her tidied up bed, “although I think it too early for us to be thinking about that”
