Sashay | I'll Protect You

Chapter 2

Sasha's POV

"Babe?" I hear a voice say as they open the bedroom door. I groan and snuggle into my pillows in response. They chuckle a little and enter the room.

"Wakey,wakey princess" The voice says. Imdiently I know who it is. It's Hudson. A huge smile creeps on my face. He starts showering me in kisses causing me to giggle.

"Okay,okay I'm awake" I say laughing as he covers me in more kisses.

"Good. Are you hungry?" He asks me as he puts his arms around me and snuggles into me.

"Starving" I say with a smile as I turn around to face him.

"Well I'll go get breakfast started then" He says with a smile. I lean in to kiss him but I'm interupted by my phone ringing. I give him an apologetic smile and kiss his cheek. He crawls off of me and heads to the kitchen. I grab my phone and I'm surprised to see who is calling. It's Shay.

-Hey Shay! What's up?

-Hey Sash, nothing much. How are you?

-Oh I'm great. What about you?

-Urm yeah I'm good. I just phoned to congratulate you on your engagment with Hudson.

-Aw thank you that's so sweet. Me and Hudson are thrilled.

-That's great I'm really happy for you two.

-Who's on the phone Sash?
Just Shay telling us congrats babe.

-Look I better go I have some e-mails that I have to deal with.

-Sure! We should arrange lunch one day.

-Yeah of course

-How's next Friday?

-Yeah that's great. I'll see you then bye Sash I love you.

-I love you too Shay.

It feels so great to hear Shay's voice again. We haven't talked in a long time. And by a long time I mean a few weeks. But it feels really long. But something didn't seem right she seemed, well, dull and upset. I wonder what's up. I can't help but feel bad. You see, I've always thought of Shay as of more than a friend from when we met. It was just a crush really, but then it grew into a deeper love. But then I got with Hudson and had to push those out my mind. And now that we're engaged, I can't be thinking about that atall. But I can't deny that the feelings are there. I love Hudson I really do. I'm in love with Hudson. But I feel the same love for Shay and it only grew after the Emison kiss in 5x05 and I sometimes think that Hudson can tell when me and Shay are together. I mean I act like an idiot from nerves and always try and look my best. To make it worse, whenever I'm dressed up to go see Shay Hudson asks:

"Who are you dressed to impress?"

I can't tell him it's Shay. He'll get all jealous and shit. But I can't be thinking like that. I know Shay doesn't feel the same way and I have a finacé now. I just hope these feelings don't overlap. Sometimes I wonder who I'm really in love with. It makes me doubt my desicion and it really stresses me out.

"Breakfast is ready babe!" I hear Hudson shout, snapping me out of my thoughts. I crawl out of bed and walk into the kitchen and head to the counter where Hudson is waiting for me with breakfast.

"Mmm smells good" I say.

"Well it tastes even better" Hudson jokes. We both laugh and I feel at peace. All those thoughts of doubt and thoughts of who I'm really inlove with are gone. I look into Hudsons eyes.

"What's up babe?" He says sipping his coffee.

"Nothing" I say with a smile. I lean in and kiss his lips. I pull away and smile at him.

"I love you Hudson" I say while holding his hand.

"I love you too Sash" He replies with a huge smile plastered across his face.

Shay's POV

I was right. A swim was what I needed. With all my thoughts clear I swim laps around the pool feeling free and at peace.

"Shay! Someones here to see you!" Sammy shouts from the kitchen.

"I'm in the pool! Send them through!" I shout back. I float on my back and look up at the clear blue sky before turning my attention to who is standing at the edge of the pool.

"Benzo!!" I shout and swim towards the edge of the pool.

"Jesus Buttah, not so loud" She exclaims back while rubbing her temples.

"Wickid hangover?" I ask chuckling.

"You bet" She replies with a light laugh. She sits down at the edge of the pool and takes off her shoes, dipping her feet in the water.

"Why are you out in the pool anyways?" She asks me splashing her feet around in the pool.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused.

"What do I mean? Everyone who knows you knows that the Shay Mitchell only goes for a swim either in the morning or the evening. It's 1pm. And you only do it when you have alot on your mind or your trying to 'Carpe Diem' as you say" Ashley says mimicing me. I pretend to look offended and splash her. Which in return she gasps and pretends to look offended too. She takes of her dress and slips into the pool.

"I don't know what your talking about" I say as I swim away from her. That was a lie. I knew exactly what she was talking about and she was right.

"Shannon Ashley Mitchell don't lie to me" Ashley said giving me her classic 'I know your lying now give it up' look.

"I'm not lying!" I say defensivly.

"Is this because Sasha is engaged?" Ashley asks me. I stop in my tracks. Does she know about my feelings?, I thought. I turn around red faced.

"Alright how'd you know" I ask as I swim towards her.

"Really? How did I know? Shay I know you better than most people, I've been able to tell from the begining. I see the way you look at her, I see the way your face lights up when she enters a room. I know your in love with her" She replies. I sigh.

"Yeah your right, it is" I say and rake my hands through my soaking wet hair in frustration.

"Do you think anyone else has noticed?" I ask Ashley worriedly.

"Probably not. I just have those psycic powers" Ashley tells me with a wink which I burst out laughing in return too.

"What? I'm serious" She says with her classic Benson smirk platered across her face.

"I'm not gonna pester you about it or ask questions right now. It must be hard knowing that the girl your in love with is getting married. Sooo instead I'm just going to 'Carpe Diem' with you" Ashley said with a wink and swam towards me.

"Wait what do you need to 'Carpe Diem' for?" I ask Ashley mimicingly and wiggle my eyebrows at her.

"I have a wikid hangover, I must have been smashed last night,probably the drunkest I've ever been and I don't remember a thing about it. Of course I need to 'Carpe Diem'" Ashley answers simply. I burst out laughing and for the next hour or so we swam back and forth laps in the pool. The Benzo to my Buttah can always make me happy again even in the worst situations.
