Chapter 40

Hudson's POV:

I love her. I love Ashley so much.

When she told me she loves me I was stuck. I never thought she would feel it. I didn't say it because I thought it's maybe too early and I would scare her away. Now I feel so stupid that I didn't even tell her at the airport.

After one night thinking all about how I messed it up I decided to follow her. What is more Romantic than follow the women I want to her home country and tell her I love her. As I arrived at Zurich airport I remember that I don't even know where Ashley lives. So I decided to call Meredith and ask her. It sounded really random when I asked her and she was also curious. I told her that I'm hurrying and I tell her later. I guess in the end I won't tell her, but Ashley will.

When I call a Uber and tell him her place he says something in Swiss german. The Uber driver recognized that I didn't understand him so he didn't say anything and just drove me there.

Ashley's place is beautiful. She lives near Zurich Lake and it's amazing here. Hampstead is the opposite of this. Now I understand how hard it was for Ashley but when we went to the Piccadilly she was alive. As I arrive at her house I get out of the Uber and see her. I felt so glad to see her instead of one of her brothers. But the second I saw that guy with her I was lost.

"Hudson?" Ashley says and smiles. My eyes are stuck at the guy that stares at me too. Ashley runs towards me and hugs me tightly.

"What are you doing here? Have you lost your mind?" She says but I just hug her even tighter. I missed her so much. I could say it right now. Just tell her I love her. But who the fuck is this guy with her? She looks at me and then to that guy again.

"Kerem, that's Hudson!" She says to him. Wait. That guy who has to marry her. What the hell is Ashley doing with him outside at this time? Kerem walks towards us and Ashley moves away from me.

"Nice to meet you, Hudson. I'm Kerem, Ashley's Friend but don't worry, she's all yours." He chuckles and Ashley joints him. Good for him. But I have to admit he seems nice to me. I smile and nod as a hello.

"Why are you here?" Ashley asks me. I can't tell if she's happy or worried about me.

"I missed you." I say but I also want to tell her I love her but Kerem is here and I want to be alone with her. She flushes and hugs me again. I guess she won't kiss me in front of anybody. That's how she's always acting anyway. I won't kiss her either because she would get mad at me and I'm a little nervous about her family's reaction.

"So I'll go if you won't need me anymore." Kerem interrupts our moment.

"No, wait. How am I supposed to tell my family about you? They're going to be insanely mad. And I don't know if Amar would hold his anger back." Ashley says and looks at Kerem and back to me.

"Should I come with you in?" Kerem asks. Oh, of course, he won't leave that easily.

"That would be good. Maybe they would ease their minds because you're present." Ashley tells like she's talking about angry bulls or something. I know her family is very strict but I didn't think that she's planning to introduce me like this. Or I guess she never planned to introduce me because she was not sure if we ever work out well.

We decide it this way and walk finally in. Ashley walks first then me and then Kerem. I get really nervous right now. As Samir comes in the floor he hugs Ashley and Kerem but then he stares at me weirdly. Ashley told me she's close with Samir but I don't think that close to tell him about us.

"And you are..?" He asks and means me. Kerem and Ashley are looking worried. And I can't say a word because of my nervousness.

Fuck.
