(Gabriel POV)

It’s the week of Thanksgiving and our short little break is after tomorrow so we have  2 days of school this week with a five day weekend. Last week was awkward between me and Ash just like last time, every time I looked at her or heard her name I would think about what happened and blush like crazy she found it cute or so she says I found it embarrassing. Yes it was amazing I admit that, I never had someone make me want something so badly before and now I couldn’t stop thinking about it every time she touched me I would get this feeling in my chest or my stomach would feel like it was floating. I can feel my face heating up as I thought about that day it was so good I was delirious after I came down from it, it was like I was in a heavenly bliss that I didn’t want to come down from. Her hands were like magic hitting all the right spots I have never felt something so intense before .

“Gabs what are you thinking about” Ash asked me smirking I looked at her blushing at the name.

“I told you not to call me that” I said quietly to her she smiled.

“But its you’re”

“Ash I swear if you finish that sentence I will kill you,” I told her, my face was probably redder than a tomato right now she laughed at me.

“Fine I’ll only call you that in private” she said winking at me my grew face hotter at that.

“You know Gabby you’re face is going to stay that color if you don’t stop thinking about it” She said grinning at me I looked down at my shoes embarrassed about being caught.

“We can do it again,” She whispered in my ear a shiver racked through my body when I felt her warm breath in my ear I felt my body heat up. I’m such a pervert now I shifted away from her in my seat giving us some distance she was leaning on her hand with her head to the side smirking at me.

“Ash please stop it,” she laughed at me again

“Why Gabby you’re so fun to tease” she said poking my cheek as I swatted her hand away from my face.

“Ash please stop teasing the girl, you’ve been doing it since last week” Aly said turning towards us I gave her a grateful look before she started talking again.

“But Aly look at her” Ash said chuckling at me Aly looked at me letting out a laugh too I frowned at them blushing.

“Ok its fun to tease you about you’re MP leaving you covered in bites” She said I put my head down on the table hiding my face in my arms this is Ash’s fault she left my body covered in hickey’s last week and I forgot to cover them and every one saw them on my neck and where my shirt wasn’t buttoned up at. Then the girls practically attacked me and dragged me out the cafeteria, to the bathroom and held me down until they unbuttoned my shirt half way to see all the marks Ash left on me. Ever since then they have been hounding me trying to figure out who the Mystery person is of course they didn’t realize it was the person sitting in front of them.

“Alright Gabby I’ll stop” Ash said from beside me I lifted my bright red face up and looked at her she was staring at me giving me a small smile making my heart speed up.

(ASH POV)

After last week Gabriel has been blushing like crazy it worse now than it was last time every time I touched her or looked at her she would automatically turn red leaving me laughing I know I shouldn’t tease her but its to funny watching her squirm and blush under my gaze. I loved when she blushed because of me I smiled at her as she looked at me with a bright red face the bell rung signaling for our next class making Gabriel look away from me as she picked up her books. I grabbed my binder and waited for her to finish once she was I took her book out of her hand and walked out the class room with her walking beside me slowly in daze blushing I shook my head, the girl acts like she never did anything like that before well I don’t think she has I looked down at her. I’m sure she had boyfriends before came here right I mean she’s beautiful who wouldn’t want to date her I guess I’ll ask her later I should have asked her before I did anything to tell you the truth but I couldn’t wait any longer.

“Gabby lets ditch for the day” I suggested she looked at me trying to make a decision come on say yes.

“I don’t know,” She said unsurely

“C’mon Gabby I’ll make it worth your while” I pleaded she looked at me and at the now empty hallway biting her lip.

“Please Gabs,” I said kissing her cheek

“But Ash what if something important happens” She said I kissed her nose followed by her chin and jaw making my way to her lips I stopped.

“Please” I asked against her lips losing myself in her eyes as I stared at her she hesitated for a second

“Fine” She sighed I grinned at her a gave her a quick kiss on her lips, I grabbed her hand I took her to my locker since it was the closet I put her books in there along with my binder before we walked out the school to my truck.

“Ash where are we going to go” She asked as I closed the door to her side and walked quickly over to my side getting in.

“Since it is still early we can get some breakfast then I’ll take you somewhere,” I said as I pulled onto the road.

“Somewhere Fun” She asked I laughed at her.

“Sure Gab’s somewhere fun” I said glancing at her as her cheeks heated up at the name I called her.

“You have to stop blushing Gabs” I said she was looking at her blushing she looked like she was trying to.

“I can’t Ash I tried it just that I keep you know” she said looking embarrassed

“That’s natural Gab’s”

“Not its not, not for me” She said I smiled well I’m glad I left a impression on her.

“Gab’s haven’t you done it before” I asked her I looked at her when we stopped at a red light she was looking at me blushing.

“N-no” she stuttered I looked at her shocked.

“Do I look like I have,” She asked frowning

“No its just that you had to had boyfriends or something” I said pulling off and pulling in front of I HOP.

“Yes but that doesn’t mean I’ve had sex with them” She said quietly I groaned if I would have known that I wouldn’t have done anything last week I would have waited.

“So you haven’t done anything with a guy before” I asked turning the car off looking at her as she played with her hands.

“Yea but I haven’t gone to far” She said I nodded

“How far have you’ve gone” I asked I needed to know this.

“ T-that’s personal” She stuttered as her face turned a color

“Gabriel just answer it” I said she looked at me with wide eyes before looking down I rarely use her full name unless I have a reason to.

“Not as far as what we did last week but close to it,” she mumbled I sighed running my hand through my hair sighing god I’m so stupid.

“Is that a problem Ash” She asked quietly I looked at her she was talking to her lap I turned her head to me.

“No I just wished you would have told me I didn’t know you never done anything like that before I wouldn’t have done it or pressured you into doing it” I told her truthfully she stared into my eyes shaking her head.

“Ash I didn’t feel pressured I guess I wanted to do it, I didn’t mind it, I’m glad you did it and I liked it” She said as she finished her face heated up I grinned at her.

“Are you sure” I asked she nodded

“Yes I told you, you could ” She mumbled leaning towards she kissed me lightly before she looked at me as a grin played out on my face as connected my mouth with hers again giving her a slow kiss.

“Ready” I asked she nodded and we both got out the car and went in the restaurant the waiter came over and sat us down in a booth by the window.

“Hi I’m Paul I’ll be you’re waiter can I start you off with any drinks” he asked looking at Gabriel.

“Um Orange Juice” She said well that’s a first he nodded before turning to me

“And you”

“I’ll get the same” I said he walked away to fetch our drinks I picked up the menu looking at it I peeked over my menu looking at Gabriel who’s cheeks were pink as she looked at her menu I rolled my eyes she thinks way too much.

“Gab’s clear you’re mind” I said not looking at her keeping my eyes on the menu she coughed lightly not saying anything I looked up she was red now I sighed I shouldn’t have said anything.

“Gab’s look at me” I said she looked at me.

“Picture you’re father and mother making babies” I said smiling as her face paled as she looked at me with disgust.

“Ash ew now I have a nasty mental picture of it” She said frowning at me I shrugged it worked though I rather have her pale that red.

“Whatever it worked now what are you ordering” I asked I already had what I wanted

“Well I never had Belgium waffles before so  I guess I’ll get that what about you” she asked folding her menu back.

“French toast and a omelet”

“You know I always wonder how you don’t get fat, ”She said tilting her head to the side staring at me.

“Because I have basketball”

“But not during the summers or doing the end of the year” She said I laughed

“I work out and go to the gym” I said she nodded

“Can I go to the gym with you my stomach getting a little pudgy” She said looking down at her stomach I laughed.

“Gabs you’re stomach is perfectly flat you don’t need to work out” I said she frowned at me I shook my head.

“I’m not taking you to the gym Gabriel you look fine” I said sternly she was still frowning at me she looked back down at her stomach.

(Gabriel POV)

“What about if I come with you to run” I asked we had finished our food and had left I-Hop, we were now walking somewhere, where you ask, I don’t know, I’m just following her around, I think we were downtown, I was looking into the shop windows as we walked passed them with our hands linked together.

“Fine you can come on runs with me but that’s all Gabriel” she said looking both ways as we crossed the street. I grinned at her.

“Thank you, now where are we going” I asked she pointed to a tall blue building that was in front of us I couldn’t read the sign from wait I don’t think they had a sign actually it looked like a wave I looked at the sign confused as Ash opened the door to the place, we were immediately greeted by a girl wearing a blue shirt with the same wave on it.

“Welcome to the aquarium” She said politely I turned to Ash and grinned at her excitedly I always wanted to go the aquarium but I don’t remember telling her this.

“We’ll take two tickets please,” Ash said politely giving the lady her card she swiped it and handed us a band before telling that we can wait for a tour guide or roam by ourselves.

“Gabs what do you want to do” Ash asked looking at me

“Roam by ourselves” I said she nodded and the lady guided us to the entrance and gave us a map.

“Come on Ash” I said pulling her to one of the exhibits on stingrays she laughed following along side of me. I let go of her hand and went over to the tanks filled with them excitedly before I ran over to the ledge where you could see them from the top floating at the bottom.

“Ash look” I said pointing to a big black stingray at the bottom of the tank it was huge there was also a trainer down there swimming in the water with it.

“Gabs not too close to the edge” Ash said I looked over at her she was leaning on a pillar with her hands on her pocket looking relaxed and cool, she actually looked like one of those clothing models she was smiling at me I grinned at her with the feeling in my stomach coming back again.

I looked at the map in my hand deciding where I wanted to go next I found one it was close to here but downstairs.

“Ash I want to go down now” I said she nodded at me pushing off the pillar.

“So what exhibit” She asked as we walked down the ramp I was so excited to be here I wanted to go to every exhibit here.

“Jelly Fish look its looks so cool” I said with excitement seeping through my voice as I walked faster to the sign that said Jelly Fish. I walked into the room it was a black room with blue lights leading a path way on the walls and floors so you could see where you were going I looked at one of the tanks where there were small pink jelly fish floating around I smiled at it a tapped the glass as one came close to the glass.

“Gabs check this out” Ash said I looked over at her she was bending down looking at one of the jellies. I walked over and she moved out the way as I kneeled down to look in the tanks there were blue jelly fish swimming up and down they looked like they were glowing in the dark I grinned and looked closer at them.

(Ash POV)

We were now close to the end of the aquarium, right now were at the fish exhibit were we were under the fish as they swam around us. I was sitting on the bench watching Gabriel press her face up to the glass watching the fish swim by, it was actually funny seeing her here she looked just like a little kid who’s never seen fish in her life before, throughout the aquiruim she was running around looking at all the sea creatures pointing at them and cheesing the whole time while I lagged behind her grinning at her happiness and excitement.

“Ash look a shark” She said looking above her, where you could see the shark swim past to the other side I laughed as she followed it to the other side watching it swim away.

“Ash this is so cool” She said excitedly I laughed again walking over to her as she walked over to the glass looking at the little fish.

“Look its Nemo” She said pointing and giggling at the clown fish I shook my head laughing at her she needs to get out more.

“Gabs we have one more place to go” I said I had a little surprise for her that I’m sure she would love.

“Really I thought this was the end” She said I took hold of her hand as we walked out the underground fish tank.

“No there is one more place,” I said pressing a button to the elevator it opened and we stepped in.

“But I thought that was the last exhibit” She said I chuckled at her.

“No it isn’t now be quiet” I said the elevator dinged and opened up we were in an pool arena like place it was empty except for the trainer who was in the water swimming around he saw me and waved us down. We walked down the stairs to him where he got out the water.

“You must me Ash and Gabriel” He said I nodded as Gabriel looked around the area.

“Well follow me,” he said walking away towards an opening we followed him. He handed us something that looked like a surf suit I took the black one and she took the blue he directed us to a room so we could change.

“Ash what are we doing” She asked u shrugged and pushed into the room while I went in another room the suit was tight and hard to get into but it was light weight and comfortable I walked out the room once I changed and waited for Gabriel.

“Gabs you ok in there” I asked through her door I heard her grunt.

“Gabs hello” I said again she didn’t say anything but I heard something fall I opened the door she was on the floor trying to pull up the suit her clothes and under clothes were hanging on the chair. I chuckled at her and went over to her and lifted up off the floor.

“Ash get out I’m not dressed” She exclaimed blushing and turning around I rolled my eyes.

“Gabs I’ve seen everything already” I said she didn’t turn back around I sighed and started to pull the suit up on her letting my hands brush against her skin occasionally making her body go rigid and shiver I smirked as I zipped her up and turned her around. She was facing me with a red face I chuckled at her as I looked her over the suit fit her perfectly it was tight around her curves and chest defining everything on her body.

“Ash stop looking at me like that” She mumbled I looked back to her face giving her a small chuckled.

“Sorry but if you were me you be doing the same thing” I said running my hands down her side she blushed and moved away from me.

“Are you guys ready” the trainer said

“Yeah” I said Gabriel walked out first and I followed behind her until we reached the pool we all climbed in floating in the water as he talked.

“So im assuming that both of you know how to swim right” He asked we both nodded

“Okay them here are the rules there are two of them in here let them get used to you first them you can do whatever you want except hurt them” he said I nodded while Gabriel looked at the water with wide eyes coming toward were two dolphins but I looked at Gabriel grinning but stop when her face was filled with horror.

“Gabs what’s wrong” I asked I hope she isn’t afraid of dolphins

“Ash why are we swimming with sharks are you crazy” She exclaimed I started laughing along with the trainer the fins did look like shark fins but they weren’t I wrapped my arm around her waist and swam her to the middle as she started to climb up me trying to get out the water.

“Gabs calm down there dolphins” I said putting my hand in the water touching one as it came up it looked like it was smiling at me. Gabriel squealed in my arms excitedly before climbing off of me and into the clear blue water. Once she was down she grabbed on to the dolphin petting him or her.

“Ash how did you get this” She asked laughing as the both of the dolphins nudged her and splashed her.

“I ask” I said ok so it did cost extra but it wasn’t that much not that I’m going to tell her that she would probably kill me if she found out how much I spent for this but I like to see her happy and smiling.

“How much was it” She asked frowning at me I laughed

“Not much just a little extra” I said just as one of the dolphins flipped over her splashing both of us we both laughed at it, while the other one spun in circles.

“Ash can I ride it” She asked looking at with her eyes twinkling I nodded before I told her how to do it once I showed her I grabbed onto one giving it a light nudge it flew off surprisingly fast I heard Gabriel laughing beside I smiled at her laughing along with her before we both went under with the dolphins pulling us I looked beside to see Gabriel still there smiling through the bubbles as they formed around us god I loved seeing her smile and laugh she looked so beautiful right now like a mermaid surrounded by water with her hair splaying everywhere around her, I reached out and touched her lightly she turned to me and I let go of the dolphin she followed as I pulled her to me smiling as the bubbles trickled up above us the dolphins were now circling us under the water our legs were intertwined as I pulled her into a kiss she kissed me back wrapping her arms around my neck pulling me closer I didn’t add anything extra because we were under the water and who wants dolphin water in their mouth I was running out of air and I think she was two we pulled back and she was still smiling at me before she swam up to the surface I grinned and broke the surface.

“Are you having fun,” I asked swimming next to her as the dolphins flipped around us.

“Yes I love it” She said with shinning eyes as one of the dolphins ran underneath us I kissed her lightly on the lips.

“Good you scared me for a second when you first saw them” I said kissing her forehead as she blushed the dolphins bobbed up in front of us.

“They looked like sharks to me” She mumbled I chuckled at her

“Go play we have to leave soon” I said she nodded and swam with the dolphins swimming next to her.

(Gabriel POV)

Ash is truly amazing I loved swimming with the dolphins today even though my hair was wet I still had a ball with her. I was disappointed when she said we had to go because our two hours were up, but we did get pictures of us and the dolphins while we were there I didn’t even know someone was taking pictures until we changed and the guys handed Ash all of the photos with a CD of them too. I didn’t get to see them yet but I am excited to them. After the aquarium we went to a diner and had lunch before we just hung out at the park and other random places. By the time we left to go back to school it was 5 o-clock and the sun was going down.

“Hey Ash how did you know I wanted to go to the aquarium” I asked that questions has been in my mind all day I always wonder how she knows certain things about me like the green gummies and small stuff that people tend not to notice.

“Because I actually listen to you when you talk” She said I raised my eyebrow confused I don’t remember talking about the aquarium with her.

“It was like a month or two ago you were rambling on about your childhood and you mentioned the aquarium” She explained I nodded I remember now it was one of the days we hung out together and she took me to one of her many café’s we talked forever that day I didn’t think she was paying attention as I was rambling on about my past and everything I missed growing up.

“You were paying attention that day” I asked looking at her she smiled a soft smile at me.

“Yes I always pay attention to you Gabriel I already told you I liked you so that means I will learn everything about you even the smallest things” She said kissing me on my temple making me blush as my heart flutter while my stomach turned slowly I think I might have feeling for her after all I think I just need more time to make sure because I definitely don’t want to lead her on by telling her I do I opened my mouth but she shook her head.

“I know you going to tell me you don’t know yet but I told you already I will wait for you” She said walking me to my car she opened the door for me and I got in.

“Thanks Ash” I mumbled to her

“As always no problem” she handed me the envelope of pictures that were taken.

“Here you go” she said I took them and place them on the passenger seat.

“Don’t you want some,” I asked

“I brought two packets of them oh and if you want more copies there is also a CD so you can upload them on you’re computer and print them out” She said I nodded my head I probably upload some on my facebook page speaking of facebook I don’t have Ash as a friend.

“See you tomorrow” she said leaning down kissing me on my cheeks I grabbed her before she could move and kissed her on her lips.

“Bye Ash” I said blushing as she smirked at me and closed my door I pulled out the lot with looking in the mirror as she stood there and watched me.

I got home pretty fast I was going to go straight to my room when my dad and mom intercepted me I raised my eyebrow at them.

“Hey honey” My dad said kissing my on my forehead my mom smiled at me I frowned at them the only time that they were home together trying to talk to me at the same time was when they had bad news, last time they told me we were moving from our cozy home in Florida to California.

“What is it this time” I asked I hope we weren’t moving again I didn’t want to leave this place yet.

“Well something came up sweety and we won’t be here for a week” My mom said sadly I looked at them shocked a week Thanksgiving is in the day after tomorrow.

“What about Thanksgiving” I asked I was excited for Thanksgiving this year at our new house we always had holidays together they always told me that they wouldn’t take a job on holidays.

“But its thanksgiving the time were you spend it with you’re family” I mumbled to them they looked at me sadly they were barely home now and the holidays were the only time we spent together.

“We know but we have to take this we’ll make it up to you” My mom said I nodded sadly

“What about Kenzie” I asked she can’t stay here with me what are we going to do well at least I won’t be completely only.

“She’s at your Aunts” My dad said well I guess I will be alone I don’t like going over my aunts.

“When are you two leaving” I asked they looked at me sheepishly I frowned and looked behind them there suitcases were already packed and ready to go.

“Tonight” My dad said I nodded then a horn honked I guess that’s their taxi.

“Gabriel we have to go now are you going to be alright” My mom asked I nodded my head

“Yes, have a nice trip” I said giving them a big fake smile they smiled at me and kissed me on the cheeks before grabbing there bags and leaving out. I sighed and went upstairs I really wanted a thanksgiving dinner to I had brought all of the stuff we needed to, now it’ll go to waste, well at least I didn’t buy the turkey like I planned to do today. I went and sat the envelope on the bed before I took a shower. Once I was finished with the shower I put on my PJ’s and opened the envelope taking all pictures out flipping through them smiling I came across 3 that I loved, one of them was when we were under the water riding the dolphins I was smiling and Ash was looking at me with a huge grin on her face the other one was when Ash was kissing me on my forehead my cheeks were pink and the dolphins were bobbing their heads out the water in front of us the last one was of me with my arms wrapped around the dolphin it was looking in the camera smiling and Ash was behind me with her chin resting on my smiling at me as I smiled down at the dolphins. I loved these pictures I was putting them pack in the envelope when another one fell out this one was bigger than the rest of them. I turned it over and gasped at it, it was a beautiful picture of Ash and I, when we were underneath the water kissing.

Our legs were tangled, my arms were around her neck and hers around my waist what made it amazing were the dolphins swimming circles around our waist leaving bubbles around us it was a breathtaking picture I loved it my hair was floating up around wildly but looked tamed, I was so close to Ash in the picture it was like we were connected I loved how the water was a Caribbean blue color adding great affect to the picture I absolutely loved this pictured. I smiled at as my phone vibrated I pick it up it was text from Ash.

*Text msg*

Ash- Hey Gabs did u c the big pic

Me- Yes I love it =)

Ash- lol I love it too but I also love the wallet one ;).

I looked at the text message confused what wallet one I opened the envelope up again and shook it a wallet sized photo came out of it, I looked at it and turned red it was a picture of me from last week laying on her bed with only my bra and her underwear on with her on top of me kissing me without her shirt on my body was arched into hers and her hands were down my underwear. When the hell did someone take this .

*Text msg*

I shook my head at her last text she such an idiot sometime I put the photos up and took the one of me and her and put it in my mini safe just as my phone vibrated again I looked at it and smiled before I put my phone under my pillow and went to sleep forgetting about the Thanksgiving problem I had.

Ash- Sweet Dreams Gabs xoxo =)

(Ash Pov)

Yesterday was the best I loved the photos that the photographer took of us I had 4 of them in my wallet one was of us kissing under the water with the dolphins swimming circles around us and the other one was of Gabriel kissing one of the dolphins on its snout smiling the next was of me and her looking at each other smiling as the dolphins flips over us sprinkling us with water and the fourth one was when she was hugging the dolphin with my arms wrapped behind her smiling.  I loved every single last one of the pictures and she had the smile that made my heart stop in every one of the pictures. I walked into the classroom smiling as I walked to the back where Gabriel was lost in her thoughts.

“Hey Gabby” I said sitting down next to her she smiled at me but it didn’t reach her eyes like it normally did

“Hey Ash” She said something was wrong with her I frowned at her.

“Something wrong Gabby?” I asked quietly she shook her head.

“No I’m just thinking” She mumbled I nodded keeping my eyes on her I guess she’ll tell me when she wants to.

“Oh here I brought you some wallets” I said pulling out my wallet and giving her the ones I made this morning.

“I made one of each photo since I didn’t know which ones you wanted” she took them and flip through with a real smile appearing on her face.

“Ash I still can’t get over the fact that we got to swim the dolphins yesterday,” she said with all traces of her sadness gone I grinned at her.

“I know I’m just so amazing” I said jokingly she laughed and rolled her eyes at me as Aly and Alex turned around to us.

“Are those photos I want to see them” Aly exclaimed I reached out and took them off the table before she could get to them, I don’t want her seeing them and I’m sure Gabriel doesn’t want her seeing them either.

“Awe c’mon Ash let me see them” She whined I shook my head I put them in Gabriel’s bag as Gabriel sat there with light pink cheeks

Why can’t we see them” Alex asked I looked at him with an annoyed expression on my face.

“Because those are her photos and she doesn’t want you to see them” I said slowly to him so he could understand.

“ She didn’t say that we couldn’t see them” Aly said smirking at before looking to Gabriel.

“Gabriel can we see them” Aly asked sweetly I rolled my eyes there was no way that Gabriel was going to let her see those photos.

“Sorry Aly but I don’t want anybody to see them yet” She said to her apologetically I grinned at her words does that mean that we would be together soon the word yet kept playing through my mind.

“That’s isn’t fair Ash got to see them,” Alex said I laughed at him

“Grow up Alex life isn’t fair” I said leaning my chair back and putting my hands behind my head.

“Thanks Ash now you have ruined life for me” He muttered putting his head down I shook my head I really do need another friend.

“So were did you two disappear off to yesterday we were looking for you” Sean asked I looked at Gabriel and she looked at me we both turned to him and shrugged.

“Nowhere” We said at the same time they looked at us with their eyebrows raised.

“OK then” Sean said turning around mumbling

“You guys should bring me along with you two sometimes” Aly said I laughed at her.

“No thanks Aly I had enough of you” I said she frowned and turned around with me laughing and Gabriel holding back one.

*Lunch*

“Gabby what’s wrong you been down all day” I asked sitting down next to her she been down all day and she wont tell me what’s wrong.

“Nothing just thinking about something” She said shaking her head

“Anything I can help you with” I asked concerned she gave me a small smile.

“Nope I’ll do it myself” she said I frowned not liking her answer but I nodded and dropped the conversation. I don’t see why she can’t tell me I want to help if I can.

“What’s everyone doing for Thanksgiving” Aly asked everyone started to talk at once I laughed at them, Aly was going over her Uncles where her family would meet up with, Sean was going over there too after he was finished with his family, Alex’s family was going out of town to visit his grandparents, Samantha was staying home with her family, Jenna and Tristan were going to hang out with both of their families together, while Tyler was going out of town with his family to go to Oregon or some place up there.

“Ash what are you doing for Thanksgiving” they asked I shrugged

“Nothing really hanging with the family since they are down here this year I think my grandparents and Aunts with their children are coming over I think Its going to be pretty big gathering this year my father trying to have a excuse to use the new dining room” I said Aly laughed she knows that my father always gets a new bigger dinning room set every year and on the holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving he tries to fill all of the seats which is really stupid because it was a huge dinning room set that could hold at least 20 people at a time that’s why we never eat in there.

“Oh man did he get a new set” She asked laughing along with Sean

“Yup every single freaking year on the dot it just came last week and he has everything even the plates and forks ready on the table,” I said shaking my head at how my father was so excited when the dining room set came.

“Gabriel what are you doing” Samantha asked Gabriel looked down at her lap before she mumble something about the bathroom and walked out.

“What wrong with her” Tyler asked me

“I’ll get her” Samantha said looking at the door standing up I stood and pushed her back down in her seat.

“No I’ll get her” I said walking away leaving them confused and worried. I walked out the cafeteria trying to find her.

(Gabriel POV)

Once everyone started talking about their plans with their families I sat there trying not to listen but when they asked me what I was going to do I didn’t have anything to say so I excused my self and left out which why I’m now sitting under the stair case sulking about not having anywhere to go I pulled my knees up to my chest and put my head down, I don’t know how long I’ve been sitting here but I do know that I’ve heard a couple of bells ring.  I didn’t think they would leave me by myself this year I know I’m old enough to fend for myself but that doesn’t mean I wanted to be by myself on the holidays I wanted to cry but I couldn’t let myself cry over something so stupid and childish.

“Gabs there you are I’ve been looking everywhere for you” Ash said I looked up at her she was standing in front of me out of breath bending over with her hands on her knees.

“What’s wrong,” she asked kneeling in front of me I looked away from her she sighed and ran her hands through her hair. Before she grabbed me by my chin pulling my face back to her.

“Gabs please tell me what’s wrong” she said my eyes started to water she looked at me concerned before she pulled me into a warm embrace which did not help at all I think when people hug you when you’re about to cry makes you cry worse. I felt my tears stream down my face as I cried into her chest while she smooth out my hair whispering comforting words in my ear.

“Gabs what happen did someone hurt you” She asked I shook my head in her chest she pulled me back and looked at me.

“Please tell me what happened I want to help” She said I nodded.

“My family left me for a week I don’t have anyone to spend the holidays with” I mumbled sounding stupid she frowned at me and wipe the trail of tears off my face.

“That’s why” She asked I nodded my head ashamed I was acting so childish right now.

“I know its stupid I shouldn’t have told you,” I mumbled

“No it’s not stupid Gabriel, I won’t leave you alone by yourself for the holidays what kind of person would I be if I did that’s why you’re coming over my house” she said I looked up at her surprised she was gave me a small grin.

“But I can’t don’t you have a big family coming over” I asked she shrugged like it didn’t matter.

“Yeah so what I’ll just set another plate for you it’s not a problem at all and my father wouldn’t mind it at all, that means he can use the extra chair and plate set that came with the table” She said laughing I smiled at her I didn’t want to intrude on her family.

“Gabs you’re not going to bother anyone you practically part of our family now” She said as if she read my mind I nodded smiling at that, part of the family. She pulled me into another hug.

“Gabs do me a favor,” She asked with her arms still around I nodded in her sweater.

“Tell me next time, don’t keep it to yourself, I don’t want you to be by yourself” She said pulling me back looking at me in my eyes I nodded not breaking the eye contact she kissed me on my forehead smiling at me.

“I’m serious Gabriel you should have told me earlier” She said frowning at me

“I didn’t want to bother everyone over the break” I mumbled to her she chuckled slightly.

“I’m not everyone Gabriel and you never bother me so get up lets go” she said standing up holding her hand out I grabbed and she pulled me up with her we got from underneath the stairs and walked into the hallway.

“How did you find me,” I asked curiously

“I don’t know I looked everywhere and that’s the last hiding spot in the school,” She said smirking at me holding onto my hand I blushed when I felt my stomach flip.

“Ash don’t we have class” I asked when she went to my locker and opened it she laughed.

“No Gabs you missed the whole day hiding” She said pulling my books out taking my bag I just noticed she had on her back and putting all the books in it.

“Oh I’m sorry you missed all you’re classes didn’t you” I muttered

“Yup but I don’t mind” She said pulling out her phone as it rung she answered it.

“Yeah I have her yeah ok I’ll tell her” She said smiling she hung up the phone.

“Samantha said something about when she see’s you she’s going to kill you” She said laughing holding my hand again as we walked out the building the lot was completely empty except for my car and Ash truck she walked me to my car I got in and drove off with her car following behind me.

(Ash POV)

It took me forever to find Gabriel today I was looking for her everywhere until I remembered that the under the stair is a small little area that I used to hang out at during my Freshmen and Sophmore year. I was kind of mad at her parents for leaving her alone on the holidays and I was mad at her for not telling me she probably would’ve spent thanksgiving alone if I hadn’t found her or went after her. I guess this is a good thing because she’ll be with me during the rest of the week until school starts again on Monday.

I got out my car and followed Gabriel into her house and to her room where she started packing a small bag. I flicked on the T.V and watched it until she was finished packing. It didn’t take her long to pack she was staying over until Tuesday or Monday I think my house would be a little crowded with everyone there but we should be fine, we have a hidden guess house in the back where my aunts and their family would be staying and my grandparents will staying in the den because we have the bed in the wall thing that my dad put in for occasions like these. Dinner was going to be crowded as usual but this year we have 2 extra guest which are Rachel and Gabriel, well I think Rachel is going to be there I hadn’t talked with her about her plans for her thanksgiving.

“Gabs you need to pack like a dress or something my dad makes us wear somewhat formal clothes” I said to her with my eyes not leaving the T.V screen.

“Can I wear a sun dress” She asked I turned to her she was in her closet pulling out all types of dresses I rolled my eyes and turned back to the T.V.

“Yeah that should be fine I usually go in a sweater and jeans or something along those lines” I said she groaned

“Ash you also dress like a guy so that doesn’t help” She said I laughed

“Well the girls in the family usually wear sundresses or dress pants does that help” I said she mumbled something I heard her putting clothes back in her closet before I heard her zip up her bag.

“Ok I’m ready” She chirped I turned off the T.V and looked at her bags with my mouth opened.

“Gabs I don’t think you need all those bags its only like 5 days” I said shaking my head she had 3 suitcases a small duffel bag and a plastic dress bag which I’m assuming held her dress that she would wear tomorrow.

“I know that bag over there has the shoes and that bag has my jeans and shorts and the other bag has my tops underwear and that one is the toiletries I need. I shook my head.

“Ok something has got to go” I said I picked up the Duffel bag and took out the things she needed.

“Ok you can keep you’re soap and hair stuff but everything else has to go, I have towels and you have a toothbrush and tooth paste at my house, and I don’t know why you have toilet paper in here” I said taking it out looking at her with my eyebrows raised.

“What its soft” She mumbled going into her closet and pulling out a smaller bag I put the stuff in there before I went through her shirt bag I looked at the colors of her shirts before I closed it not taking anything out I went in her shoe bag and took all of the shoes that she didn’t need out.

“Ash but I like those shoes” She whined when I took out a pair of heels I shook my head.

“Gabs they don’t match any of you’re shirts now find a smaller bag” I said she huffed and pulled out a smaller bag I took the 7 pairs of shoes and put in the bag I put the small bag that held her toiletries in the that bag too.

“Now you’re Jean bag” I said she watched me pouting as I opened them I made her pick out 8 pairs of jeans aand a couple of shorts that she wanted before I told her to get a medium sized suitcase and 2 or 3 uniforms just in case she wanted to stay longer. She dragged her feet and did what I said. And hour later she had everything packed up and ready I had everything down to two suitcases I had put the jeans and shirts into one big suitcase instead of the three we had left so now she only had 2 suitcases and the dress bag. I took the all the bags to my truck and put them in the trunk while she locked up her house.

“Ash I locked everything up,” She said holding up the dress bag I took it out her hand and laid on top of her suitcases making sure I didn’t wrinkle it. I closed the trunk and we both got in the car.

“Ash I really appreciate you letting spend the holiday with you” Gabriel said as I pulled out her drive and down the street to my house.

“Gabs I couldn’t let you spend it by yourself and I wouldn’t have let you spend it by yourself” I said grinning at her she grinned back. It didn’t take long for me to get home when we arrived I saw 3 cars and 1 truck parked in the drive way I sighed they took my parking space I pulled around the side of the house where the Shed was, I hated parking right here but I guess this is a good place to park at least I won’t be blocked in.

“You see that door down those step” I asked Gabriel once we were out the car I pointed to the stairs that led to the basement she nodded I handed her the key to the door.

“Go in while I get everything” I said she nodded she took her little dress bag and went down the steps hopefully nobody was down there I’m going to have to lock the doors that leads to the bedroom with the family around some reason they don’t know how to knock or give people privacy. I have to tell Rachel that to thankfully the bathroom were in the rooms and not in the hallways. I grabbed both of the suitcases, I closed the trunk and locked my doors before I headed down the step. When I got to the room I sat her suitcase down on the floor by the bed she was sitting on the bed staring at the picture on the dresser.

“Ash I didn’t see this one” She said showing me the picture it was the picture of her in the aquarium looking up at the fish with amazement and excitement twinkling in her eyes.

“Yea that’s when the guy passed me asking if I wanted pictures I told him to take that one” I said taking the frame out of her hand and placing back on the dresser.

“Go change into something comfortable” I said she nodded before she looked at me frowning.

“Ash I only have my PJ’s” I laughed and went through my dresser I gave her the smallest sweat pants I had and a Hollister long sleeve T-shirt.

“I think those should fit you” I said she nodded and went in the bathroom I laughed at that I don’t know why she doesn’t change in front of me I already saw everything. I shook my head and took off my clothes I only put some sweat pants on it I didn’t bother putting a shirt on because I would end up taking it off anyway.

“Ash put on a shirt” Gabriel said as she walked out the bathroom she was drowning in my clothes the sweats were a little to big for her and the sleeves of the T-shirt went past her hands she looked like a kid trying to fit her fathers clothes she looked cute in them though.

I laughed at her as she stared at my body.

“No I always walk around with out a shirt I get hot easily” I said she scrunched up her face and lifted her arm up.

“Then why you give me sweats and long sleeves”

“Because it gets cold in here and with my family here he leaves on the AC” I said taking her arm and rolling up the sleeves for her so she could use her hands she nodded as I finished she reached up touched the chain around my neck.

“I’ve never noticed this before” She mumbled playing with the key on it.

“It’s usually in my pocket or on my ankle” I said as she lifted it up and turned it over it was the skeleton key to the piano room.

“This is the one to the room” She asked quietly I nodded she looked up at me.

“Can we go up there I want to hear you play if you want to” She asked I didn’t mind playing for her I nodded head.

“Really” she asked I nodded again smiling as she smiled at me I took her hand and we walked up and out of the basement I could her my family in the living room talking it sounded like everyone was down here which was good because I only wanted Gabriel to hear me play as we walked up the step and down the hall way I made a quick stop at my room I knocked.

“Come in” She said I opened the door and stuck my body half way in she was packing a small bag.

“So I’m guessing you’re going somewhere for thanksgiving” I asked she nodded her head.

“Yeah my grandmother from my mothers side is having something and she invited me, usually I don’t go but I guess I’ll go this year” I nodded

“You know how long you’ll be gone,” I asked

“Probably a day or two” She said still throwing stuff in the bag she looked at me and shook her head.

“What” I asked confused

“Do you ever put a shirt on” She asked Gabriel laughed from behind me as I frowned I opened the door all the way and looked at myself I looked fine.

“Are you trying to tell me something,” I asked frowning at her she laughed along with Gabriel.

“No it just that you never have any clothes on and you have company over” She said I rolled my eyes at her

“What ever Gabby not company” I said Gabriel hit my on my side

“Ouch what was that for” I asked she frowned at me

“You said I wasn’t company” I rolled my eyes at her

“You’re not you over here practically everyday” I said she still frowned at me as Rachel laughed.

“I wasn’t talking about her I was talking about you’re family” She said I shrugged

“So if my dad tells me to put a shirt on I will but it isn’t comfortable wearing shirts around” I said she laughed and pushed us out the room.

“I have to pack” She said me and Gabriel nodded and I took her past all of the room to the end of the hall were the last room was I unlocked the door and opened it. I think I’m going to start cleaning up in here” I closed and locked the door behind the last thing I need is someone barging in here and last time I left the door opened and everyone heard me playing, I flipped the lights on and walked over to the piano Gabriel was right beside I took the cover off the piano and pulled back the curtains to the glass wall window that gave us a view of the whole back yard that never seemed to end. I sat down on the piano bench and lifted the keyboard cover up.

“Any request” I asked Gabriel grinned at me

“No I just want to hear you play” I smiled at her feeling my heart tug as I stared at her I liked her way too much.

“Okay then I guess I’ll play you one of my favorites” I said putting my hands on the right keys I began to play letting my hands take control I watched them as the glided over the keys I loved playing the piano ever since I let Gabriel first listen to me I’ve snuck in here a few time just to play a few pieces that I had remember I feel little free every time I play in here. I finished off the last chords and Gabriel was grinning at me from ear to ear.

“that was beautiful what is it called” She asked

“Hope by Yiruma I think I learned it awhile ago” I said putting my hands back on the keys it was getting dark outside.

“Are you about to play another one” she asked with excitement seeping into her voice I nodded smirking as I played the first notes she scrunched up her face at me as I laughed at her as I played A thousand Miles she hated this song. She put her hands on top of mines stopping me from playing she was still scrunching her face at me.

“Ash you know I hate that song” She said I laughed again

“Yup just wanted to play it for a second” I said she frowned at me I smirked and kissed her on her scrunched up nose as her stomach growled.

“I think we should head down stairs for some food” I said she nodded blushing

“Can we come back up here later” She asked worried I nodded.

“Yeah maybe tomorrow” I said she nodded she went and closed the curtains while I covered the piano back up. We walked to the door I unlocked and walked out with Gabriel I closed the door and locked it back up again putting the key around my neck.

“Why do you always lock it” Gabriel asked curiously

“Because that’s the last place I saw my mother and I don’t want anyone messing it up or changing the room I have too many memories in there” I said quietly she looked at me sadly.

“I’m sorry I shouldn’t have asked” she said quickly I shook my head.

“No its not a problem you can ask anything you want” I said reassuring her I gave her a light kiss on her lips as we walked down the stairs.

“One more thing does you’re father have a key to that room”

“No he shouldn’t have one last time I checked we only had one key and my mom gave it to me, my dad never asked for it” I said we made it down the stairs and I went into the kitchen Jesse Nathan Andrew Sarah and Mitchel were all sitting at the island talking.

“Hey guys” I said going to the fridge I pulled out a can of soda and tossed one to her she caught and sat it on the table.

“Ash put a shirt on” Nathan said I rolled my eyes at him and turned to him smirking.

“What for”

“The family is here” He said I shrugged and looked at Sarah who was staring at my packs I grinned at her she looked at me and blushed.

“Ash put a shirt on,” Mitchel said frowning at me

“Why, are you guys jealous” I asked smirking at them Gabriel was shaking her head at me.

“No why would we be Jealous” they all said at the same time well except for Andrew who admitted that he was they turned to him a glared.

“Mitchel jealous because Sarah just eye raped me” I said looking at Sarah smirking as she blushed again protesting.

“Jesse and Nathan are jealous because I have more packs than they have and I have a better body” I said banging on my rock hard abs laughing at them but stopped when Gabriel smacked me upside my head I rubbed my head frowning at her.

“What I do this time” I asked she frowned at me crossing her arm and raising her eyebrow giving me a you know what you did look I sighed.

“Fine then you always ruin my fun” I mumbled going back to what I was doing the others stared at Gabriel,

“Hey Gabby I didn’t see you there” Jesse said I frowned he can’t use my nickname for her I looked at her and she was trying to keep a frown off her face.

“This may sound rude but can you please call me Gabriel,” She said to him I grinned that’s my girl I looked at him grinning he looked surprised that she told him that, only I can call her Gabby.

“ok sure no problem” He said I was almost finished fixing the sandwhiches I hope she like peanut butter and Jelly because I can only cook breakfast foods. I grabbed two paper plates and place all them on the plates before I put everything up.

“Gabby we staying up here or going down” I asked she nodded her head towards the basement she looked at the plates frowning.

“You don’t like peanut butter and Jelly” I asked I think I just wasted a loaf of bread.

“No I love them but why did you fix so many” She said I sighed

“Because I’m hungry” I said in a duh tone

“But 6 of them seems like a lot you’re going to get fat” she said my brothers laughed I looked at them with my eyebrows raised they stopped laughing.

“Don’t worry these babies ain’t going anywhere” I said flexing my stomach poking it she looked at them with her cheeks turning pink. I heard a groans from behind me.

“What” I asked Nathan Jesse and Mitchell looked at me.

“I don’t get it how do you make every single girl you meet like you or blush without even trying I mean look at Sarah she’s engaged and you have her redder than a tomato” Nathan said I shrugged smirking looking at Sarah she was pretty red.

“I don’t know ask them” I said they all looked form Sarah to Gabriel. Gabriel didn’t say anything but look down at her feet with her bright red face while Sarah turned away I shook my head.

“Its because she has the boyish charms, the body, the eyes, and the confidence without being cocky you can’t find that in most guys not to mention all the extra stuff” Rachel said from out of nowhere with her bags I grinned at her as she looked at my brother who were nodding.

“Am I wrong Sarah and Gabriel,” She asked then

“I don’t know what the extra stuff is but yes you are right if I wasn’t in love with her brother I would probably fall for her” she said truthfully Mitchell looked at her with an open mouth score I can so get older women.

“And Gabriel what about you” Jesse asked I laughed ok time to drop the conversation.

“alright the conversation is over my sandwhiches are getting soggy c’mon Gabby lets go down stairs” I said she left the kitchen quickly I shook my head grabbing the drinks.

“Hey Ash did you and Rachel date or something” Jesse asked as I was about to leave I looked at Rachel she was smirking but she answered instead of me.

“Nope we just fooled around I have to say you’re little sister is great in bed you know the extra stuff” She said winking at me I laughed at their face.

“Oh god the images” Jesse groaned along with the rest of them.

“I swear if you weren’t my sister this would be so hot right now but you’re my sister so its so nasty right now” Andrew said groaning in his hand I rolled my eyes.

“Great now everytime I see you I going to have a image of you going down on a girl” Nathan mumbled I laughed again turning to Rachel who was grinning at me.

“Were you serious you can’t be serious,” Mitchell said quickly

“No I’m serious the girl is amazing at it, girls at school can’t keep their hands off of her” She said I groaned at that I hated the way they came after me even though I’ve been avoiding them for awhile but I still get mail and facebook junk from them my block is full of them.

“Please don’t talk about them its bad enough they made that fan club” I mumbled walking out the kitchen as I heard the guys yell fan club. I laughed and walked quickly by the living room didn’t want to go in there.

“Ash stop come in here and introduce Gabriel” My fathers voice came out the room I sighed what is she doing in there. I walked in the room it sitting on the couch were my two aunts and uncles and my grandparents Gabriel was standing against the wall shyly.

“Hey guys” I greeted they turned to me staring at me ok maybe I should wear a shirt.

“What are you on steroids girl” My grandfather said I let out a laugh he’s always like this he’s a funny dude.

“No grandpa” I said he grinned at me and stood up he gave me hug my grandmother was siting there shaking her head at him.

“You have to give some I need to get my abs back” He said

“Charles sit down and move so I can see her” My grandmother said he rolled his eyes.

“Ash please take the old bat and put her in a home I can’t stand her” He said she pushed him out the way and smacked him he grumbled something I loved them to death they were the funniest couple ever.

“Hello dear” she said grabbing me and hugging me smiling while she kissed me on the cheek.

“Hey Grandma” I said I waved Gabriel over.

“Guys this is Gabriel a friend from school” I said when Gabriel reached my side.

“Just a friend” My grandfather said I laughed at him looking at Gabriel as she turned red.

“Yup just a friend” I said giving he nodded winking at me like he knew what was going on.

“Gabby those are my grandparents and those are my aunts the one on the left is my aunt shelly and the one on the right is my aunt Mary” I said finishing the introduction they all greeted her nicely and she the same

“Were are the others” I asked.

“The boys went to the store and the girls our in the guest house they’ll be over later” they said I nodded before I pulled her out the living room and down to the basement.

“Gabs how did you get in there” I asked amused

“I was walking pass the door and you’re father called me in” She said picking up a sandwhich and biting into she moaned.

“Is this strawberry jelly” she asked I nodded grinning she grinned back and took another bite.

(Gabriel POV)

“Ash I’m stuffed” I mumble I had 2 and a half sandwhiches Ash ate 3 of them and ate the half I didn’t eat she was still eating chips to I wonder where all of her food goes.

“I told you to stop after the second” She said cleaning up the crumbs and drinking the rest of her sound I yawned tiredly that’s the things about me and peanut butter and Jelly I fall asleep right after I eat them.

“c’mon sleepy lets hit the sack” she said I nodded and dragged my feet to my suitcase I pulled out my pajama shorts and went to the bathroom I brushed my teeth before I took off the sweats leaving the t-shirt on I put on the short I left out the bathroom and Ash went in she also brushed her teeth as I closed by suitcase and put it back in the corner I went to the bed and sat down just as Ash came back out with no only  her boxers and her sports bra on I swear she never wear clothes anymore she went out the bed room and closed the door leading to the bedroom I heard her lock it before she came back in the bedroom and closed and the bedroom door.

“Why you lock it,” I asked as she turned the lights out and came over to the bed she pulled the sheets back.

“Because people don’t know how to knock get in” She said gesturing to the bed I climbed in feeling the cold sheets against my skin, she climbed in after mer she pulled the sheets up settling into the bed, I scooted closer to her until she reached out and pulled me closer my face was now buried into her collar I breath in I loved how she smelled of spice and mints with a tinge of something that I couldn’t place yet.

“Good night Gabs” she said I looked up at her and planted a soft kiss on her lips mumbling good night against her lips before I snuggled back into her and drifted off to sleep.
