Having gotten out of our shower, Ashley grabbed her clothes and walked to her room, changing and heading back down. I put on some basketball shorts and a t shirt and decided this was going to be quite the interesting evening. Now not that I am an advocate of utilizing chemicals to deal with certain situations, but in this moment I felt it was fair to have a few edibles my buddy had sent me. Knowing the military would frown on it, but I was willing to risk it, I did and then I headed down stairs.
I got down to my mom and Ashley standing at the island in the kitchen. Ashley’s face smiling, Rachel hiding in somewhat embarrassment. I decided I wasn’t going to say anything just yet, so I sat at the bar. Rachel faced away from me and would not turn around to look at me, she would go out of her way to avoid me, when I looked at Ashley, she had a smug grim on her face and I could tell she had said something. A few more awkward minutes went by, I could now feel the edibles kicking in and my body begin to relax.
