When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 760

She nodded and blocked my way with a smirk. After a brief deliberation, she said, “I recommend that you make yourself decent before heading in.”

I blushed automatically. “Why? What is it?” I stammered.

Linda coughed and spoke in as normal a voice as she could muster. “Ashton has… a way with women, based on how he looks. You don’t have to make it so obvious, we’re all adults after all.”

Confused, I pulled out my compact mirror to take a look. Oh, God! My lips were swollen, hair in a tangled mess, and even the hickey, which was originally quite subtle, now pulsated an angry red.

Linda followed me close behind, her smile wide with glee. “Don’t be embarrassed. It’s normal!”

 

“Then why did you look at me in that manner earlier on?” I was speechless.

“I’m here to remind you that there is a large group of older men inside the base,” Linda giggled. “If you went in there looking like this, it would be even more awkward!”

 

I blended the hickeys in with my skin tone as best as I could, but they still showed up like angry boils. I began to panic. “Linda, help me out here. It’s not going away.”

She rummaged through her purse and handed me a bottle of liquid foundation. “Try this. I get eyebags from staying up late at night, and this helps to hide them.”
