Hudson's POV:
"She didn't tell you?" Ashley asks. Of course not. Meredith is open to me but not about guys. She knows my reaction and wouldn't even think of telling me things like that.
"No." I say angry.
"Ok, Hudson I know you're mad at her now but she lost feelings for him years ago. I mean she knew about the arranged marriage and didn't say anything about it. She's over him." Ashley tries to explain to me but all I can listen to is their laugh.
"Oh, it's getting late. Ashley, do you want to go anywhere else?" Meredith asks.
"Umm, yes sure! Let's go to the main station." Ashley says nervous and I know exactly why.
As we arrive there Ashley and Meredith go to the H&M store and leave alone. With Kerem. I try to avoid eye contact and we sit on a bench. But if I really think about it it's not her fault. I mean I fell in love with Turkish women too.
Ashley's POV:
"Oh God, Meredith I have to tell you something but don't be mad at me, please." I say as we walk in in the H&M store.
"Why should I be mad?" She says easily.
"Because I accidentally told Hudson that you had a crush on Kerem." I say afraid of her reaction.
"You told him what?!" She almost yells and I hush so she won't make a scene.
"Yeah, I'm really sorry I thought he knows." I apologize. I feel really bad about it.
"Oh no and we left them alone!" She says and pulls me immediately out of the store.
When we look outside their sitting on a bench not even looking at each other. This could be good but maybe it's also bad. Either Hudson told Kerem about Meredith's crush and it's a cringe moment because he didn't know or he didn't tell him anything but just avoids eye contact.
"Are you done yet?" Hudson stands up the second he sees us coming outside.
"Yes, let's go home." Meredith says and we all go back to Kerem's car.
While driving Meredith and I are making eye contact. She points on her phone and I look at mine.
*Do you think Kerem found out?* She texted.
*I don't know but let's just hope he didn't.* I answer.
"Are you two texting? You didn't change a bit, what?" Kerem notices. We both smile nervously at him but Hudson is somewhere in his world and probably didn't even hear him.
Meredith and I always texted if we wanted to say anything without others hearing us. We even stole the phones of our mothers just to text for fun and bother Kerem.
*I think he doesn't know.* Meredith texted.
*I think either.* I text back.
As we arrive at home Hudson walks straight into his room and Meredith follows him. I thank Kerem and he drives home. I walk also in my room and 10 minutes later Meredith appears. She closes the door behind her.
"He didn't tell him but he's not mad." She says.
"What, really?" I am surprised.
"Yeah, but he asked if I still like him." She looks confused. So am I.
"What's wrong?" I ask and she walks towards me.
"I don't know... I told him, I don't know." She looks at me like she saw a ghost.
"So you caught feelings... again." I say.
"I think. When I saw him again after years I felt something." We sit down on my bed.
When Meredith moved to England she just graduated from high school. She already fell for Kerem back then but didn't tell him. Meredith moved and forgot about him. She didn't want to know anything about him. Until I told her about the arranged marriage but she didn't have any bad reaction to this.
"Hudson asked me to do something." She says and looks really upset.
"What?" I ask and hope it's nothing bad like forgetting about him or maybe she has to go back to England.
"He wants me to tell Kerem the truth." She says. What? He can't ask for that. It's not his business like he always says to others.
"But you aren't even sure about your feelings." I remind her.
"I told him the same. He says I have 2 days and if yes I tell him and if no I can keep the past by myself." She tells me.
"Why?" I am curious. I never thought he's like this.
"Because if I still like Kerem..." She stops and looks at me.
"Yes?"
"He finally has something against Kerem that gives him a chance to be with you." Meredith says.
What the hell?
