I am a Good Girl

Ashley's POV

As I stirred in the bed the following morning, I couldn't help but dread the idea of getting up.
My body felt achy, my stomach felt heavy and my brain felt fried.
I quite possibly had a hangover because I can't remember what I did last night. After I left Hayden's, I went to a bar...?
My memory was a bit fuzzy.
I rolled over in bed, trying to shield my eyes from the daylight, I felt skin.
Sweet! Hayden must have come round last night.
"Hayds, make breakfast" I rasped, my voice barely audible.
I felt her stir in bed before she answered. "Who's Hayds?" The girls voice obviously not Hayden's.
My eyes seemed to fly open, to be staring at a women with luscious chestnut coloured hair and forest green eyes. Her eye make-up had smeared under her lower lash line and from what I could tell, she was naked.
"Oh, shit, sorry. I meant..." I had nothing.
She looked at me expectantly before she rolled her eyes. "Jessica."
"Right! I'm so sorry, it's been a long weekend" I said shutting my eyes again.
"Oh okay. Are you gonna make me breakfast or something? I've been awake for like, half an hour and I'm starving" she complained.
"You're welcome to make yourself something, but I doubt I have any food" I said, not opening my eyes.
"You're such a jerk" I heard her mutter as she slid out of my bed.
"Bye! Was nice to meet you!" I called after her when I heard the front door slam.
I relaxed comfortably back in bed, but my mind started to wonder.
So, if I didn't sleep with Hayden last night, what was Hayden doing?
I racked my brain, but I couldn’t seem to remember.
There’s no way she’d pass up a night with me.
I sighed and started to wake up. I rolled over and grabbed my phone off my nightstand, reaching for the charging chord lying on the ground.
I saw I had a missed call from CC. I glanced at the time and it was well past one o’clock. Probably should call him back.
I lied on my back as I waited for CC to pick up.
“Hey Ash, about time man. Did you just wake up or something?” He asked sarcastically.
“Yeah, I did. I’m actually having a hard time remembering what I did last night...” I breathed, shutting my eyes again.
“Classic you. Hey listen. Umm, what’s the deal with your friend Hayden?” He asked, a slight edge in her tone.
“There is no deal with Hayden. Why you asking?” I questioned.
“We went on a date last night and I really like her. So what’s her deal?” He pressed.
Then it clicked to me. That’s why I wasn’t with Hayden. I remember her telling me she had a date, but I didn’t believe her; I thought so was joking... Guess not.
“Oh really? How’d it go?” I asked, trying to seem interested. There was no way Hayden would continue this. I know her.
“It went really well. She is sexy as fuck and she enjoys my humour, so it’s a win, win” CC’s tone rising with giddiness.
“Well, you know, Hayden gets around” I said, rolling my eyes at him.
“Yeah, she went on about how she was a slut, but I took that more as a joke...” CC commented, unsure of himself.
“Yeah, well she goes on a lot of dates and stuff. She rarely goes for a second date though. It’s like she can’t wear a man twice” I joked.
“Well, she agreed to go on a second date with me. So I suppose that’s a good sign.”
“For sure. She might actually like you” I half smiled at Hayden actually giving this a shot. “Well anyways, I might go to the gym. Try and burn off some of the alcohol I’ve had this weekend.”
“Okay. Happy hangover!” CC chuckled and hung up.

I swiped my key card at the gym’s front door, eyeing Hayden on the treadmill, running full speed.
I stashed my stuff in one of the lockers, only taking my iPod and water bottle with me, before interrupting Hayden.
She was completely focused on her work out. Headphones in, steady breath and boobs bouncing. Her sports bra did next to nothing for her breasts.
I walked into her sight and she smiled.
“Hey!” She grinned, taking out her headphones and lowering the speed on the treadmill.
“Hey, looking good” I commented.
“Oh shut up” she rolled her eyes.
“So, how was last night? Did you have dirty dreams about me?” I winked.
“You think you’re so funny. Nahh, I, umm, had a really nice time with CC. Were going out again” she said under her breath.
“Since when? You go out with guys, like three times a week, sleep with them and then fuck them off. What’s happening to you?” I said, laying the sarcasm on thick.
“I don’t know, I mean, I was nervous as fuck... I couldn’t stop going on about how I’m a whore... Ughh, what’s wrong with me?” She worried, now come to a full stop on the treadmill.
“Well you know what this means right?” I smirked.
“No. What?” She looked at me confused.
“We can’t sleep together” I said, making a pouty face.
“Oh, I knew that. You don’t sleep with people that are friends! Seriously? What do you take me for?” She said shaking her head.
“As the slut you are” I chuckled.
“Okay, okay, shut up. I suppose I have to learn to be in a monogamist relationship... Yikes...” She breathed.
“It’ll be a whole new you. You won’t see me anymore cause you’ll be too busy with your boyfriend” I said, insinuating she’d be like every cliché girlfriend.
“You know that won’t be me. I’ll still see you... Here mostly... When you are paying for my time... As a PT not a hooker. Besides the point, I’m always your friend” Hayden joked, but even she could see the truth in it.
“Same here” there was an awkward pause before either of us said anything.
“Wanna do weights with me? I’m not charging” she giggled.
“Cool, get me ripped!”
