Chapter 30
(Ash POV)
Most of the week Gabriel was sleeping because of the medicine, even though she didnât want to take them anymore I forced her to, yesterday she finished taking the last two she needed to take and I had to make her use the cream or put it on her when she was asleep since she didnât want to use it. So now itâs Thursday and she can go to school today because her face and arms have finally turned to the normal color they originally were.
âSee arenât you glad youâre back in school Gabbyâ I said swinging her arm back in forth as we walked hand in hand down the hallway she frowned at me
âNo Iâm sleepyâ She said I laughed at her
âWell no one told you to stay up last nightâ I said smirking at her while she blushed Iâm glad her face was back to normal I missed seeing he blushing face.
âIt wasnât me it was youâ she said I laughed at her
âWell If I remember correctly you started the whole thing,â I said smirking as her face heated up again we had fun last night and not the fun youâre thinking about we played poker but it turned to strip poker and her on top of me making out half of the night, it was fun.
âYou suggested itâ She mumbled we went into the class and sat down out friends were in the back chatting away as usual.
âAsh Gabriel you two finally came to school it been a week and a half â Sean said I laughed sitting down.
âYeah she was sick and she needed someone to watch her,â I said laughing as Gabriel hit me and frowned.
âYou act like Iâm a little kidâ She said
âWell you didnât want to take youâre medicine so yes you are a little kid it would have taking the full two weeks if I didnât make you take the medicineâ I said she huffed and turned away from me, yes it took way longer than I expected, her swelling came back again in the middle of last week so we had to go back to the doctors for more medicine, Iâm never taking her anywhere near plants again.
âAsh what are we doing this year for Christmas, itâs coming soon itâll be around the corner before you know itâ Sean said I glanced over at Gabriel she was having a conversation with Aly and Alex.
âWell like we usually do I guess then weâll go out of town this year Iâm think 2 days and 1 night in Las Vegas and on new years eve we can all fly to New York for the fireworksâ I said he nodded his head agreeing.
âSounds like a plan we can drive to Las Vegas on Tuesday night on the 27th and stay still the 29th and catch a flight at night time or early the next day and then we can stay in New York until 3rd and get a direct flight back hereâ he said looking at his planner
âThat exactly what I was thinking and we can rent 2 trucks and a car since there are nine of us and we can leave them at the rent a place in Las Vegas so we donât have to worry about bringing them back up hereâ I said he nodded writing everything down.
âWait why do we need the car if we have the trucksâ He asked so me and Gabby can ride together by ourselves duh.
âThe girls have a habit of packing too many things and if someone doesnât want to ride in the truck or wants to take a break they can drive the car insteadâ I said he nodded.
âSeems like a solid plan now we can tell the others about it and we should be goodâ He said I nodded at him.
âMake sure you donât mention it to Gabby and tell the girls to I want to do it for her as a presentâ I said he nodded grinning at me I already had everything planned for Christmas I getting her gifts soon and I have to call her dad to see if I can take her out of town later too.
âSo you two are togetherâ He asked I chuckled
âNo just friendsâ he shook his head at me I laughed lightly sitting up as a substitute teacher walked in.
âAnd you didnât want to come to school todayâ I said to Gabriel she rolled her eyes going back to the conversation with Aly about some new clothes designer since she was talking and I was going to be bored I raised my hand and asked to go to the bathroom he let me I walked out the door and roamed the hallways only to have some chick latch onto me I pushed her hands off of me.
âWho the hell are youâ I asked she did look familiar but I couldnât tell who she was she had dark brown hair that stopped at her shoulder and dark brown eyes with freckled going over her nose she was okay looking she wasnât someone I would go after.
âYou donât remember me Ashâ She asked pulling me down kissing me I tried to pull back but she had a tight grip in my hair I felt her tongue slide across my lips I think she had a tongue ring also I gave her a push and she let go of me smirking as I wiped off my mouth in disgust.
âDo you remember now,â She asked grinning
âNo I donât leave me aloneâ I said walking past her
âAsh how can you not remember me we made love 3 years ago and you told me you loved meâ She said I stopped and turned to her what the hell I donât remember this
âLook Iâm sorry but I still donât rememberâ I said to her I never told any girls that I loved them I may have sex with them but I donât put false hopes in their heads.
âItâs me Scarlettâ she said I looked at her with memories coming back I remember her but I never had sex with her trust me I know who I have sex with.
âI remember you but I never had sex with you Scarlettâ I said slowly she frowned at me getting angry.
âYes you did I donât forget things like thisâ She said I laughed at her
âNeither do I, I know who I have or had sex with and youâre not one of themâ I said walking away to the bathroom leaving her seething. I shook my head and went in the bathroom ignoring the girls standing by the sink looking over at me giggling and smiling at me I went in the stall and did my business and came back out to wash my hands the girls were still by the sink.
âHey Ashâ the pretty orange hair said I smiled at her and gave her a small hey as I washed my hands before I left out waving goodbye to them the sighed as i walked passed them and out the door. I chuckled as I walked down the hallway three months ago I would have picked one of them and took them somewhere to have sex with them now I just walk away I feel good about it even if Iâm frustrated.
âAsh please listen to me,â Scarlett said
âLeave me alone I donât love you and I never willâ
âIs it someone else,â She asked
âYes now leave me aloneâ
âBut Ash I love you and I know you love me tooâ She said stepping closer I groaned before I sprinted down the hallway and to the classroom I got in there out of breath I went to the back and sat down Gabriel and Aly were still yapping.
âDude what were you running forâ Alex asked Sean looked at me
âDo any of you remember Scarlett,â I asked Sean and Alex nodded.
âThe chick with the freckles and brown hairâ Sean asked I nodded
âYeah her she keeps bothering me so I ran away from herâ I said Sean shook his head and Alex laughed.
âWhyâ
âApparently we âmade loveâ and I told her that I quote âloved herâ I air quoted made love and loved her Alex started laughing again.
âOh man this is what you get for sleeping around all those yearsâ Alex said
âThatâs the problem I never slept with her and she swears me down that we slept togetherâ I said Sean looked at me nodding.
âYeah I know for a fact you didnât sleep with her you told me everyone you slept withâ He said thank you he even knows I didnât sleep with her.
âBut I may be wrong Ash you might have slept with herâ He said I groaned
âHow, I know who I slept with hell I even know that I slept with Cynthia and I was drunk as a skunk that night so, I think I would remember herâ I said Alex nodded his head.
âEww Ash you slept with Cynthiaâ Gabriel asked with her nose scrunched up in disgust I groaned.
âIt was a drunken mistake that I will always regretâ I said to her she was scrunching up her face I rolled my eyes.
âStop ease dropping and go back to your conversationâ I said she stuck her tongue out at me.
âAnyway I would knowâ I said Sean nudged Aly.
âAly do you remember Scarlettâ He asked she nodded
âYeah whyâ She asked Sean looked at me I shrugged not caring.
âWe just wanted know in freshmen year did she ever say that she slept with Ashâ He asked
âYeah she did I remember something about a romantic night went to someplace had sex or made love thatâs how she put it and then something about them telling each other that they loved each otherâ Aly said I groaned
âSo basically the female population knows I slept with her but I wasnât aware that I slept with herâ I asked she laughed
âI didnât believe her anyway you wouldnât tell someone you loved them unless you meant it and you definitely didnât say that in our Freshmen Year â She said I grinned
âGood because sheâs back and apparently as she tells me we made love a I told her that I was in love with her which I didnât because I never slept with herâ Iâm positive I didnât sleep with her I wouldnât sleep with her.
âWell Iâm pretty sure you didnât because she was a virgin and that was youâre motto in 9th grade never sleep with a virgin because they become to attachedâ Aly said quoting me I groaned she would say that in front of Gabriel.
âThatâs not the point Aly, I just need her to stay away from meâ I said
âWell did you try talking to herâ Aly asked I nodded
âYeah and she kept telling me the same thing I told her I didnât sleep with herâ
âAre you sureâ she started to say I threw my hands up in the air
âYes Iâm sure I know who the hell I sleep with or who I slept with and she wasnât one of themâ I said frustrated Aly looked at me shaking her head at me
âAh the life of a player this is what happens when you mess around with people Ashâ Alex said wagging his finger at me I swatted his hand out of my face Iâm not in the mood anymore.
âExcuse me everyone I have an announcement to make I am Scarlett me and Ash have been in love for 4 years Ash was my first for everything and we plan on getting married soon, Ash I love you and I know you love me to, see you at lunch baby I brought youâre favoriteâ the intercom went off everyone turned to me I groaned and slumped in my seat.
âOkay the girls kind of crazyâ Alex said looking at me shocked I wanted to curl up and cry in the corner now.
âYou guys have to help me I think that the same girl who attacked me last weekâ I said Gabriel was looking at me shaking her head.
âTell her you donât like herâ Aly said
âYou donât think Iâve tried that already,â I wanted to stab something right now.
âUm tell her you have a girlfriendâ Sean suggested I groaned again
âThatâs not going to workâ I said
âJust try it and see if she still hounding you runâ Sean said I frowned at him heâs no help I put my head down and turned to Gabriel.
âGabby you know how girls think help meâ I said
âThis is what happens when you mess around with peopleâ She frowned at me
âI didnât mess around with her were you listening to the conversation Gabbyâ I asked she nodded her head.
âI donât know what to tell you,â She said shrugging her shoulders I groaned again can my life get anymore complicated the bell rung we all stood up Alex patted my back sympathetically while I glared at him  .
âHang in there Ashâ He said grinning I pushed him out my way and walked out the room with Gabriel everyone in the hallway was staring at me I glared at all of them.
âAsh stop glaring at them just go talk to her and set everything straightâ Gabriel said from beside me.
âFine but if it gets worse Iâm blaming youâ I mumbled she laughed and took hold of my hand.
âIâm trying to help you,â She said
âI know but still I donât want to deal with this right nowâ I said she nodded her  head while I let go of her hand and but my arm around she smiled up at me.
âHey whatever happens can you promise you wonât get mad at me if she does something stupidâ I asked her the girl had a tendency of doing stupid things around me like kissing me.
âYeah I know you donât like her so Iâm fine with it just fix it soonâ She mumbled I smiled down at her and kissed her forehead.
âThanks Gabsâ I said as we enter the classroom again everyone was staring at me surprised before they looked at Gabriel confused I groaned they are going to be like this all day if I donât fix this.
(Gabriel POV)
It was actually kind of funny watching Ash groan and complain all day whoever this girl is she sure knows how to ruin her day and she wanted to come to school today. I didnât really have an opinion about the girl who said she slept with Ash I donât know what Ash was liked in her freshman year so I really couldnât judge her on this matter, personally I think she needs to fix this fast before something happens which is why me and Ash are walking to the lunch room slowly hell I was dragging her to the lunch room.
âAsh Iâm hungryâ I said pulling her
âWe can leave and go out to eat Gabs please donât make me go in thereâ She begged I stop walking and turned to her.
âAsh you have to fix thisâ I said frowning she wrapped her arms around me pressing her forehead against mines and closing her eyes.
âI know but Iâm tired Iâve been running away from her all day I need some peace and quietâ She said I laughed frowning at her.
âYou can have that after you talk to herâ I said she opened her eyes smirking at me her eyes were different now that Iâm looking at them closely they seemed to look like clouds and something else.
âIf I do, do I get a reward,â She asked I blushed slightly
âAsh we talked about this alreadyâ I said she laughed
âI know but I wasnât talking about thatâ She said kissing me lightly on my lips I pushed into her making the kiss longer before I pulled back she frowned at me.
âFix it and we will finish,â I said with a sly grin on my face she pouted kissing me again before she sighed and pulled back.
âFineâ She mumbled grabbing my hand we walked in the cafeteria ignoring the stares she got itâs been like this all day ever since the morning intercom thing we got our lunch and went back to the table.
âAsh I didnât know you had a girlfriend and you were getting married â Jenna said Ash groaned
âI donât what you heard was a crazy girl who claims that we love each otherâ She said stabbing her chicken with her fork I shook my head and grabbed her fork out her hand.
âStabbing itâs not going to workâ I said she frowned at me before she groaned again looking over my head I turned around it was a girl with dark brown hair and dark eyes she was smiling at Ash as she walked over here.
âAnd speak of the devilâ Alex said shaking his head
âJust tell her youâre not interestedâ I said everyone nodded their heads in agreement Samantha was looking at me with her eyebrows raised.
âAsh sweety I was looking for you everywhere here I brought you youâre lunch so you wonât need thatâ She said happily and took her tray placing a lunch box down in front of her she walked to the trash and threw it away while Ash looked at the lunch box seething Ash doesnât like people messing with her food.
âAsh calm downâ I mumbled grabbing her hand on her lap she frowned while the others laughed as the girl came back grinning.
âSo I was wondering if you wanted to come with me after school today and hang my parents want to meet you and they want to plan the wedding for next summer toâ
âStop I stop stop itâ Ash said frowning at her she looked at her and smiled
âWhatâs wrong Ashâ She asked putting her hand on her shoulder rubbing her arms up and down I frowned at it as jealousy flared up inside me. Ash pushed her hand of of her and the girl pouted.
âWhats wrong umm let me see one you threw my food away two I told you I didnât like you and I wasnât interested in you three you went on the freaking intercom and told the school that we were getting married and that were in love four youâre starting to piss me off and five I didnât sleep with you six I donât love you and I never will I think thatâs allâ She hissed at her the girl frowned at her.
âIs there someone else that I donât know aboutâ She asked angrly Ash groaned again
âIt doesnât matter if there is someone else I donât like you nor do I love you so leave me the hell alone and go find someone else look heâs singleâ She said pointing to Alex who looked at her with wide eyes shaking his from side to side with his hands up.
âNo Iâm notâ He said quickly lying I rolled my eyes at him the girl looked at Ash.
âWell if thereâs no one else then I donât see how we canât be togetherâ She said running her hands over her arms seductively Ash cringed again.
âThere is someone elseâ She said quickly I laughed at the look on the girls face
âIâm sure she canât be better than me rightâ She said placing her hands on her legs Ash twitched with wide eyes.
âShe is better and I donât think sheâd like you touching meâ She said the girl smirked I heard a faint sound of a zipper coming undone I frowned as another wave came through me I looked at her hand as Ash grabbed it.
âWell sheâll never know because she isnât here and sheâll be gone once she seeâs that you love meâ She said the others were looking at them with wide eyes as I glared at her who does she think she is putting her hands all over her.
âI told you I already have a girlfriend and I love her so move youâre hand off of me Scarlettâ Ash hissed at her Scarlett looked at her smirking
âReally now then who is it,â She asked looking at her Ash was trying to figure out what to say.
âItâs itâsâ She began hesitating looking around
âItâs meâ Jenna and Samantha blurted out quickly I looked at them with my eyebrows raised really you guys, Ash groaned quietly I had to stop myself from laughing at them the others looked like they were in the same position.
âIâm not stupidâ Scarlet said glaring at them while they laughed sheepishly.
âActually we are in a relationship I love them both and we all loved each other the same so we are all in a relationshipâ Ash said smoothly I shook my head as Scarlett glared at Ash.
âI donât believe youâ She said I wouldnât believe her either Ash sighed and looked at Samantha and Jenna.
âWell we are together and we donât have to prove anything to you,â She said taking Jenna and Samantha hands lovingly they gave her a fake smile while they stared at each other I coughed slightly trying to hold back my laughs.
âI told you Iâm not stupid Ashâ She said frowning at her Ash stood up and went on Samantha and Jenna side she mumbled something to them before she kissed Samantha quickly and kissed Jenna quickly I felt a pain in my chest but it quickly went away when I saw them look disgusted with each other. Scarlett gasp
âI will be back Ash and these two wonât be around because Iâll have you soonâ She said walking out the cafeteria.
âEwâ Samantha said frowning Ash frowned back at her.
âHow do you think I feel these lips werenât made for you,â She said getting up and walking back to my side.
âEh it wasnât that bad, but I will never do it againâ Jenna mumbled wiping her mouth Samantha handed her some wet wipes I started laughing hard along with the rest of the table.
âYou guys are so stupidâ Aly said laughing I agreed with them
âI was just trying to help out I didnât know Jenna was going to say it toâ Samantha said frowning at us Ash groaned.
âNever ever try to help me again,â She said
âIf It wasnât for us her hands would have been down youâre pantsâ Jenna said Ash grimaced at that.
âYeah I think I would have rather kissed you two instead,â She mumbled.
âThat was too funnyâ Tyler said still laughing
âYes I was trying to hold in my laughs the whole time you guys are stupid for thatâ Matt said chuckling Ash looked at me as if asking was that alright I nodded my head laughing.
âItâs fine,â I said to her she nodded
âYou owe me rightâ she asked I looked at her confused.
âRemember you said if I fixed it we could finishâ She smirked at me while I blushed she laughed grabbing my hand.
âIâm taking my payment themâ She said standing up taking me with her
âGuys we will be right backâ She said smirking they looked at us confused
âMake sure you donât run into Scarlettâ Sean said Ash nodded walking away and out the cafeteria I looked around Scarlett wasnât anywhere.
âAsh canât you wait until laterâ I whined behind her she laughed.
âNopeâ she said grinning at me as she pulled me into an empty classroom I looked around this room doesnât look like its being used at all.
âAsh what room is this,â I asked as she lifted me on the table
âDonât know it hasnât been used in years,â she said I turned to her she was grinning at me as she stood in between my legs.
âNow for my paymentâ She said leaning in I laughed and kissed her she grinned into the kiss making me laugh again as I bit on her lip I parted her lips and explored inside her mouth enjoying the taste of mints her hands were roaming my body occasionally brushing up my skirt but going back down my her other hand went up my shirt I smirked and lifted my hands undoing her collar of her shirt my mouth left hers as I licked her neck before I bit down on it softly while sucking on her skin I want to leave a mark like she always leaves on me I grinned when I heard her let out a moan I sucked and nip at her neck until I was sure it left a mark a noticeable one I kissed it grinning before she pulled me into a skin I heard her grunt when my hand went up her shirt I love the feel of her abs I smiled when she pulled back she was grinning at me with cloudy eyes.
âYou have officially driven me madâ She said against my lips making me let out a short laugh.
âAre we finishedâ I asked she nodded buttoning her collar up again.
âFor now we areâ She said smirking lifting me off the table and setting me down on the floor I shook my head at her we walked out the room no one was anywhere in the hallway as we went back to the cafeteria.
(Ash POV)
We got back to the cafeteria with out any problems on the way
âYou guys really have to stop disappearing on usâ Alex said the other nodded agreeing I rolled my yes at them as we sat down.
âYes we are starting to think that something is going on between you twoâ Matt said they all looked at us itâs funny because it is true something is going on between us I think Gabriel just stiffened next to me we looked at each other and started laughing.
âRight something going on between usâ Gabriel said trying to play it off between laughs ah the art of acting
âThe day Ash has a girlfriend is the day the world endsâ She said I laughed and high fived her agreeing.
âIâm agreeing with her me and Gabby nope never no offense,â I said looking at her.
âNone taking I feel the same wayâ She said nodding her head smirking
âYeah plus she has the MP you guys are always talking about he seems like a nice guyâ I said nodding my head the girls looked at me excitedly
âYouâve met himâ They asked I nodded
âYeah I canât have her going out with crazy people thatâs where we were when you guys were at my houseâ I said explaining everything to them
âHow come she got to meet him,â Jenna asked she shrugged
âBecause she canât take no for an answerâ She said frowning at me I laughed at her knowing what she was talking about.
âIâm persistent so what, if I wasnât I wouldnât get what I wantâ I said rolling my eyes at her she huffed and turned to the other.
âAnyway Ash whatâs he likeâ Jenna asked I laughed and turned to Gabriel who wa.
âNice guy, I can tell he loves her,â I said smirking at her as she blushed the girls awed at her.
âAwe Gabriel when do we get to meet himâ Aly asked Gabriel muttered something under her breath.
âI donât know, when I figure everything outâ she said
âFigure what out, if she sees that he loves you what is there to figure outâ Samantha asked grinning at us.
âI donât know its complicated I guessâ She said okay maybe it is kind of complicated.
âWe are so having a girls talk when there not aroundâ Amber said nodding to the boys the girls all agreed to it.
âYay girl talk whoo hooâ I said with fake excitement they all glared at me.
âAsh you donât countâ They said I held my hand over my heart and gasped.
âWhy not Iâm a girl,â I said with a shocked faced Gabriel shook her head beside me
âI told you Ash that you donât count as a girl we had this conversation alreadyâ She said I looked down at her smirking.
âWhy not, you and I both know that Iâm a girlâ I said winking at her, her face to a light rose color as she frowned at me I chuckled at her.
âAnyways Ash you arenât invited you can hang with the guysâ Aly said I rolled my eyes
âI didnât want to hang with you girls anywayâ I said they sighed shaking their heads while they stood up and told me to move to the side with the guys I groaned and moved with the guys as the girls talked to Gabriel who was looking at me frantically I laughed slightly and sat next to Sean.
âYouâre chick just initiated a girl talkâ I said looking at Matt we all turned the girls who were now huddled up squealing and talking while Gabriel was there blushing.
âYeah but anyway Ash I told them already about the Christmas thing everyone agreed all we have to do is book the flights and hotelsâ He said I nodded looking at them.
âOk, so how are the hotels going to work is there going to be two to a room or do you guys want more than two,â I asked
âWell I was staying with Aly, Tristan with Jenna, Matt with Amber, Alex and Tyler can room together, and either you room with Gabriel, you can room by yourself or Gabriel can room with Samantha either way some ones going to end up rooming by themselvesâ he said I could room by myself and just get a suite.
âYeah she can stay with Samantha that way I can get the suite insteadâ I said he nodded
âIâll book the hotels and Sean you can make sure we have the trucks and car,â I said he nodded we have to book everything early because they were always busy around this year.
âOkay then everyone should be ready rightâ I asked looking at all them they all nodded.
âThat means everyone got the clear from their parents and has gas, cab, food and spending money rightâ I asked.
âYeah Iâm always covered every year and so is Alex what about you guysâ Sean said âYeah I should be fineâ Tyler said nodding his head for some reason I still donât like the guy.
âSame hereâ Tristan and Matt said.
âWhat about the girlsâ I asked referring to Jenna, Samantha, and Amber
âYeah they said they would be fine to all we need is Gabrielâ Matt said
âI have her covered already, Iâm going to talk to her father about it to see if she can come with usâ I said glancing over at them they were still yapping there mouths.
â Are you sure heâs going to let her goâ Tyler asked I nodded
âYeah Iâm sure he canât say no to her plus I already met him he seems to like meâ I said he nodded
âAnd her motherâ
âHavenât met her yet,â I said shrugging my shoulders just as the bell rung I stood up I havenât thought about her mother I guess Iâll have to meet her sooner or later.
âAlright girl talk is overâ I said taking a blushing Gabriel away from them
âSo what you guys talk aboutâ I asked she looked up at me with her adorable pink face I never realized how much taller I was to her she barely came up to the middle of my upper arm.
âYou basicallyâ She said frowning I laughed at that
âIt was good things rightâ I asked she frowned at me with her cheeks getting darker.
âSureâ she mumbled I shook my head grinning at her as she leaned against me.
âDo you know when youâre dad will be home todayâ I asked randomly I needed to speak to him about the trip as soon as I could so I could book everything by the end of this week.
âNo whyâ She asked curiously I shrugged
âNothing just trying to figure out how much alone time Iâll have with you todayâ I said smirking at her she blushed and shook her head.
âWell youâre not coming over todayâ She said I groaned
âWhy notâ
âBecause I need some me time Iâve been with you for almost two weeksâ She said smiling I pouted at her and stop walking.
âReally Gabby youâre just going to throw me away like thatâ I asked she laughed and patted my cheeks.
âIâm not throwing you away Ash, I just need some sleepâ She said I laughed at her.
âGabs you canât sleep without meâ I said smirking she rolled her eyes at me
âI have been for 17 years 2 weeks isnât going to change thatâ I shook my head at her.
âIf you say so just call when you canât sleep,â I said she pushed me and walked into the gym leaving me behind.
âI walked into the gym after a couple of minutes, I grinned walking up the bleacher looking at frowning Gabriel.
âOh my godâ Aly gasped I looked at her confused as I sat down she was staring at me with a shocked face.
âUm whatâ I asked she didnât say anything but sit with her mouth agape I looked at Gabriel and tyler they both had no clue what was going on either.
âAshâ She squealed jumping on me and pulling my collar down grinning at me.
âWho marked youâ She asked I looked at her confused
âWhatâ I asked
âDonât play dumb with me you never let anyone mark you so who gave you this big ass hickeyâ She asked I frowned and touched my neck Gabriel did this
âNo one just a person I knowâ I said pushing her off of me I turned to Gabriel who was laughing I frowned at her she is going to get later on. Aly knew I hated having marks on me it would mess me up with other people I didnât mind it though.
âIt canât be just a person you never let anyone near youâre neck you didnât even let me near youâre neckâ she said I shrugged
âIt was a accident and sheâll be in trouble for it later on â I said glancing at Gabriel who stopped laughing at me.
Well at least I know when her father will be home Iâll ring his house tonight and talk to him and since Iâm not going over hers today I can go Christmas shopping for her.
(Gabriel POV)
So today lunch was embarrassing the girls have no boundaries on the questions they ask, Iâm glad Ash had moved because she would have found the situation a little entertaining. They ask all possible questions from her personality to what sheâs like to the big sex question of course my face was red the whole time and they started teasing before they beg me to meet the person, who they already knew. I was so happy when the bell had rung for gym and when Ash swept me away as usual she always comes in handy with situations like these. The day had ended the girl that kept messing with Ash was nowhere to be found after the cafeteria thing which I still found amusing, now I was on my way home Ash kept bugging me about letting her come over but I couldnât let her come over today both of my parents were home today and I my dad would probably kill her if she did anything inappropriate with me while he was in the house and Ash is always a daring one that the main reason why we always got caught in her house and plus she had to be up to something after the hickey thing in gym. I got out my car and went inside the house locking the door on my way in the house I walked up to the stairs spotting my father in the living room reading a newspaper with his glasses on.
âHey daddyâ I said he looked up at me smiling
âHey sweety how was your dayâ He asked a mess I thought
âGood what about youâ I asked
âThe same made some deals went to some conferences and you know the restâ He said I nodded understanding him.
âIs mom hereâ I asked
âYes I believe sheâs upstairs with youâre sisterâ He said I said bye and went upstairs where I heard my little sister screaming something and my mom arguing with her I sighed and walked into my sisters pink room she was running around with a little pink leotard tutu on with her little blonde tight curls flowing behind her, my mom chasing her around the room like a mad women yelling for her to put her ballet shoe on before she ripped her pink stockings.
âKenzie come here hunâ I said she turned to me with her bright eyes and smiled running over to me I picked her up.
âEl youâre homeâ She said hugging me around my neck I laughed at my mom as she sat down tiredly giving me a weary smile.
âAre you giving mommy a hard timeâ I asked her she shook her head no
âNo she was trying to put those shoes on meâ She said I nodded and looked at my mom.
âYou need helpâ I asked her
âYes she needs to go to her ballet practiceâ She said I walked over to her grabbing the shoes looking at Kenzie who was giving me a toothy smile.
âNow Iâm going to take you to youâre ballet classâ I said her face lit up as she nodded her head I slipped her shoes on as my mom thanked me before she laid down on the bed probably going to sleep I walked back down stairs and grabbed my keys.
âDad Iâm taking her to balletâ I said stopping in front of the living room entrance he looked up at me.
âDrive carefullyâ He said I nodded and walked out I strapped Kenzie in her car seat before I drove off to the ballet studio while she was rambling in the back about a talking cucumber I had no clue what she was talking about I just nodded and smiled at her like I was supposed to. We got to the studio quickly I pulled her out the carseat and took her in the studio to her room.
âHi this is Mackenzieâs room rightâ I asked the instructor he turned to me nodding I put Kenzie down and she scampered off to some of her friends I think.
âAre you her motherâ He asked I laughed
âOh no Iâm her sister my mom couldnât make it todayâ I said he nodded her was a nice looking guy but I wouldnât be able to date a guy in a leotard even though it looks like he has a nice body.
âSo that means I canât use the line about how youthful you lookâ He asked I laughed nodding my head.
âBeing seventeen would defeat that purposeâ I said he laughed
âI tried you can wait in the waiting room or you can go homeâ
âHow long does it usually takesâ I asked
âOnly a half an hour today lessons are cut short due to a missing instructor I have to fill in for tooâ He said I nodded
âIâll just wait thenâ I said he nodded before he told the little girls to line up I left out to the waiting and sat down in one of the lounges with the other parents who were watching some boring channel I sighed this was going to be long.
(Ash POV)
Once school was finished I went straight home and changed into a some swear pants and one of my under armor shirts I still canât believe she left a hickey on me and it was a nice sized one too. I had found the hotels and booked them along with me and Gabrielâs flights the others had to book there own flights, before I went to use the phone I picked it up and dialed Gabrielâs house phone hopefully her father will pick up. I waited for someone to pick up the phone I didnât think anyone would but by the 4th ring someone answered.
âHelloâ I think this is Gabrielâs father
âHello Sir this is Ashâ I said playing with a piece of sting.
âOh hello Ash Gabriel isnât home right now she had to take her sister to ballet you want me to leave her a messageâ He asked oh good she wasnât home
âNo no I actually wanted to talk to you sirâ I said polity
âAboutâ he asked pausing
âWell I was wondering if it was okay if I took her to New York and Las Vegas during our Christmas Break as a present for herâ I said I could tell he was contemplating whether or not she could go.
âIs it just you two,â He asked
âNo sir it will be nine of us total our friends our coming with us we usually do this every year during Christmas break after Christmasâ I said
âWill you two be sharing roomsâ
âNo sir sheâs rooming with her friend Samantha and Iâll be rooming by myselfâ I said telling him the truth well I think Iâll be rooming by myself there was a long pause on the phone I hope heâd say yes I really wanted her to go but if she couldnât I would stay here with her.
âOkay she can goâ he said yes I grinned into the phone.
âThank you sirâ I said happily jumping up and down like an idiot.
âDo you know how much the tickets and hotel and all the other expenses are going to beâ He asked I could hear some scrummaging around in the backgrounds I think he was writing everything down.
âActually I plan on paying for everything for her sir so you donât need to give her anythingâ I said since I planned the trip I would pay for her tickets
âNo I canât let you pay for everythingâ He said I laughed
âItâs no problem at all sir I had already planned on paying for everything I already booked her room and the round trip flightâ I said I heard him chuckled
âSo you knew I was going to say yes,â He asked I laughed nervously
âNo I got the flights and hotel just in case you said yes the seats and rooms goes fast this time of yearâ I said he laughed at me.
âWell I still canât let you pay for everythingâ He said I sighed
âOkay you can give her spending money I guessâ I said knowing I wasnât going to let her use any of it well not when Iâm around.
âSounds like a plan even though I prefer to pay for the ticketsâ He said I laughed there was no way I was letting him pay for the tickets.
âItâs her present for Christmas sir you canât pay for a present Iâm giving herâ I said laughing he laughed too.
âOkay well I think Gabriel will be excited to hear thisâ He said my eyes got wide
âCan you not tell her sir I want it to be a surprise she doesnât know anything yet I was going to tell her on Christmasâ I said
âOkay thatâs fine with me I wonât say anythingâ He said
âThank you for letting me do this sir it was nice speaking to you againâ I said
âItâs no problem she always wanted to go to new york so Iâm glad she gets to go and it was nice speaking with you again too Iâll talk to you laterâ He said I said my good bye I hung up smiling yes now all I had to do was get her gifts and Iâll be done I stood up and put my shoes on before I grabbed my keys and walked out the door I need to go to the mall. I got in my car and drove to the little mall close by if I couldnât fine anything in here Iâll go to the bigger one this weekend or something.
I pulled into the mall lot about 20 minutes later I got out and went into the mall thinking what would Gabriel like the most I sighed walking into a department store I went over to the perfume section and looked around not finding anything she isnât a perfume kind of girl I never seen her put perfume on before I think she only used scented soap, shampoo and lotion. I groaned this is going to be harder than I thought I left the store and went into a clothing store this time, I walked to the junior girls section and went through the racks looking at various clothes I pulled up some jeans and shirts looking at the side ways I sighed I really donât know how to shop for a girl I donâ even know what size she wears, I stood there thinking when an idea popped into my mind I grinned and walked to a different section.
(Gabriel POV)
âIce cream, ice cream going to get some ice creamâ My sister sung in the backseat I rolled my eyes at her as I park the car in front of the mall I agreed to let her get some ice cream if she behaved and she did, so, now we were at the mall. I got out the car and unstrapped her taking her out the car she grabbed onto my hand as she skipped to the mall I sighed kids.
âEl can we get chocolate ice creamâ She asked with big eyes I nodded and smiled at her for some reason sheâs been calling me El I have no clue where she got that from either.
âReally can we get sprinkles tooâ She asked pulling me through the mall to the food court how she knows where the food court is I donât know we made it to the ice place and I picked her up so she could see what ice cream she wanted.
âI want that one with sprinkles,â She said to the lady over the counter pointing to the lady smiled at her.
âWaffle cup or cone or regular cupâ She asked me I looked at Kenzie
âKenzie what do want a waffle cup or coneâ I asked her she looked at me frowning.
âWhatâs a waffle cupâ she asked the lady laughed and showed her a chocolate covered waffle cup her eyes lit up at it.
âYes yes I want that oneâ She said nodding her head vigorously and pointing to it I sighed at her.
âYea I take the same but strawberry ice cream instead and a regular cupâ I said she nodded still smiling at Kenzie who was bouncing in my arms excitedly.
âKenzie you have to stop bouncing or youâll fallâ I said she nodded head eager to get the ice cream she was looking around again when her eyes lit up she had a huge grin on her face before she looked me grinning with her little dimples I looked at her confused before I felt someone arms wrap around me I already knew it was Ash.
âHey Ashâ I said looking up at her she grinned at me
âHey what are you doing hereâ She asked
âWe came to get Ice Cream because I was being goodâ Kenzie said grinning at her Ash gave her a big smile.
âWell congratulation I guess you do have to celebrate that donât youâ She said laughing as Kenzie nodded her head up and down squirming to get out of my arm Ash laughed again taking her from me.
âYou look like a little ballerina todayâ She said poking her in her stomach she giggled
âBecause I am I had ballet classes today they taught me how to spin around and around, aroundâ She said moving her head around over and over again I laughed at her while Ash just grinned at her the lady handed us our ice cream and rung us up.
âIâve got itâ Ash said handing her the money the lady smiled at all of us as I frowned at Ash who was grinning at me.
âI told you youâre not paying for anything if Iâm aroundâ She said kissing me on my cheek I could feel my cheeks grow warm.
âAwe you guys are like the most adorable little familyâ the lady said me and Ash looked at her I blushed again.
âNo we arenât a family this is her little sisterâ Ash said laughing while Kenzie nodded her head agreeing.
âYes but we can play family then weâll be like a real family right Ash â Kenzie asked Ash nodded her head.
âThen El can be the mommy and you can be the daddy and I can be the babyâ She said happily I shook my head at her where does she come up with these things.
âSure but first lets get youâre ice creamâ She said giving her a soft smile Kenzie nodded as the lady handed her the ice cream I hope she doesnât spill it on Ash I took my ice cream and thanked the lady who was still smiling at all of us.
âAsh what are you doing here anywayâ I asked her she usually doesnât go to the mall
âShopping for Christmas presentsâ She said as we walked through the mall I looked down at her hand I just realized she had a bag with a big wrapped box inside of it.
âWait whatâs today dateâ I asked Christmas canât be coming that soon.
âThe 10thâ she said looking at Kenzie in her arms as she ate her ice cream I sighed I still had time to shop for her present oh man itâs going to take me forever to shop for her I donât know what she likes.
âKenzâs donât spill it on meâ I heard Ash say I looked at her she was looking at Kenzie whoâs face was covered in chocolate ice cream I laughed realizing that Ash had on a nice white shirt which looked really nice on her, for some reason I love seeing her spandex shirts especially this one it was the muscle kind yummy and she had on some black sweat pants that also looked nice on her digging into my purse I pulled out some wet ones and wiped her mouth and hands off she had finished the ice cream and the cup.
âCan I walkâ She asked Ash nodded putting her down she took hold of her hand as we walked through the mall.
âGuess what Gabby I still get to have that me and you timeâ She said I rolled my eyes at her.
âThatâs because youâre stalking meâ I said she laughed
âWhy would I stalk you when you come to me willinglyâ She said I groaned at her as we walked past stores.
âAsh can I go in that storeâ Kenzie asked pointing to build a bear workshop I groaned I hated going in there with her she always wanted something.
âSure if you sister is ok with itâ Ash said they both looked at me
âNoâ I said Kenzie pouted along with Ash I groaned
âFine lets goâ I said they both slapped each others hands before we walked in the store the scheming little brats I rolled my eyes at them as Kenzie ran off once Ash said something to her.
âWhat you doing after thisâ She asked as we sat down on the bench in the store
âHome Iâm wiped out sheâs way to hypeâ I said leaning back on the bench and putting my head on her shoulder she chuckled looking at Kenzie who was talking to a worker god what is she up to now.
â Sheâs not that bad I know children who will drive people crazyâ she said grinning at me I guess sheâs right kenzie isnât that bad as long as she is listening to what youâre saying but she still is hype.
I guess soâ I mumbled to her she chuckled again.
âShe reminds me of you just a mini version of you,â She said smirking when I frowned at her.
âNo she doesnât we just look alikeâ I said protesting she shook her head
âNo you guys act alike remember when you had that sugar rush like 2 months agoâ she said I frowned at her again.
âThat was because I had to much sweets that dayâ I said she laughed at me
âThere were other days to like when we went in the candy shop or when you jumped me in the kitchen or whenâ I held my hand up stopping her
âOkay, Okay I get itâ I mumbled just as Kenzie ran over to us with a teddy bear dressed in a pink leotard tutu like the one she had on complete with the ballet shoes and the pink ribbon on its head.
âLook what I made Elâ She said excitedly I groaned this is why I donât bring her in here I didnât tell her she could buy anything now I have to buy it.
âIt looks nice come on lets go pay for it nowâ Ash said getting up smiling as Kenzie latched onto her hand.
âAsh no Iâll buy it she shouldnât have made it with out my permissionâ I said looking directly at Kenzie.
âAsh said I could make one,â She pouted I looked at Ash frowning she looked at me s scratching the back of her head.
âYou caught me red handed I couldnât deny her a teddy bearâ She said grinning at me sheepishly I shook my head smiling at her sheâs way to kind sheâd make a good parent one day, we walked up to the register where Kenzie was waiting impatiently.
âHurry up you guysâ She whined bouncing up and down Ash laughed and picked her up. Kenzie handed the worker her bear she rung her up and put the bear in the box and Ash paid for it the freaking bear was 50 dollars no wonder I never let her come in here.
âNow what do you sayâ I said to kenzie she looked up at Ash.
âThank you Ashâ She said hugging her she laughed.
âAnything for a little cutieâ She said to her Kenzie cheeks turned pink oh god sheâs reeling in my family with her charms also, Ash looked at me grinning I took Kenzie out of her arms and put her on the floor she grabbed onto my hand as Ash grabbed the box with her bear in it.
âI have to say Gabby youâre little sister as a fine taste in women,â She said laughing as I frowned at her.
âShut up Ash she probably thinks youâre a guy youâre confusing my innocent little sisterâ I said she laughed again picking Kenzie up who was complaining about walking she put her on her hip and grabbed my hand with her free one.
âShe still has a wonderful taste it must be a Smith thingâ She said winking at me I blushed at her she smirked chuckling at me as she wrapped her arm around my waist.
(Ash POV)
âDo you need to go shopping for anything elseâ I asked Gabriel she shook her head looking into the windows as we past the store weâve been here for a little over an hour Kenzie was sleeping while I carried her through the mall I had finished my shopping for Gabriel here I just needed to get one more thing for her and I would be done, Gabriel also had a few bags in her hand I think she was Christmas shopping also.
âI donât think I need to Iâll finish the rest later Iâm just going to take her home so she can go to bedâ She said looking at her sister who was knocked out sleeping peacefully.
âWell then since Iâm finished too Iâll help you take her to the carâ I said I only had two bags in my hand since I was carrying Kenzie through the mall the whole time.
âSo how would you like to be honored and go on another date with me tomorrow since its Friday â I asked smirking at her she blushed a light pink color.
âWe canâtâ She said I raised by eyebrow confused.
âAnd why notâ I asked she shook her head
âBecause you have a game tomorrow if Iâm correct itâs the game that gets you guys into the championships and UCLA recruiter for you is going to be there you canât miss this gameâ She said I laughed shaking my head while we got on the escalator riding it down
âWow I totally forgot about the game and the scoutsâ I said she shook her at me.
âYou really need to pay attention when the coach is speakingâ she said we both walked back to the mall entrance hand in hand.
âI donât need to pay attention when I have youâ I said grinning down at her she laughed at me.
âThen what are you going to do when you donât have meâ She asked playfully and I opened the door for I frowned at her as I walked behind her.
âI never really thought about thatâ I said she smiled like I was an idiot.
âItâs time to start thinking, what are you going to without meâ She said teasingly again I sighed dramatically as we walked across the parking lot to her car.
âI donât know Gabs the world would probably end if I didnât have you, who would rub my feet when they need rubbing and who would scratch my back and massage my shoulders after a big game I just donât know what I would do with out you but then again I could probably find some to replace you like thatâ I said snapping my fingers as she frowned at me I laughed as we reached her car I put Kenzie in her car seat and turned to Gabriel who was still frowning at me.
âNo worries Gabs youâre not easy to replace in fact I wouldnât be able to replace youâ I said kissing her lightly on the lips while she blushed at me I pulled back and opened her door for her grinning at her.
âNow go home and I will get a date with you soonâ I said she laughed and nodded her getting in the car when do I not have a game if Friday is the last playoff game then the championships if we win will be the week after and weâll be out of town.
âGabs when is the championsâ I asked she looked in her phone.
âUm the week before Christmas break itâs the 17thand the 18th I believe we are going to fly to Seattle we leave about 12 on the 17th then we get the hotel rest and go to the game at 7pm then we leave early the next day I think that what the coach is trying to planâ she said I nodded well if we make it into the champions we are going to be practicing like crazy until its time for us to go.
âHow about after the game can we go outâ I asked she laughed as I leaned into the car so that I could see her while I talked.
âNo Ash if we win the coach is celebratingâ She said I rolled my eyes.
âOkay then if we loose can we goâ I asked she shook her head.
âYou better not loose the game just to go on a date with meâ She said frowning I smiled
âDarn there goes my plan,â I said grinning
âHow about brunch on Sundayâ I said she nodded smiling.
âThen itâs a date,â I said kissing her again before I leaned out her car and closed her door waving at her as she drove off I grinned to myself as I walked to my car brunch on Sunday with Gabriel where can we go for brunch put all the bags I had for her in my car I already got them pre wrapped since I sucked at wrapping presents now all I have to do is get the tickets for her and a small box to put them in.
I started my car and drove home answering my cell phone.
âhelloâ I said into the phone
âAsh honey I was wondering if you can come over for dinner Sunday my parents want to meet youâ the car swerved as I looked at the phone frowning how the hell did she get my number.
âScarlett I told you already there is no us and we arenât getting married at all so stop stalking meâ I said throwing my phone out the window I groaned did I really just throw my phone out the window dad is going to kill me for that he just brought it for me I turned my car around and went back for it only to see another car roll over it.
âNoâ I hit my head on the steering wheel before I headed to the nearest phone store for a replacement.
(Gabriel POV)
I got home and carried a sleeping Kenzie in the house my dad was still in the same place I left him in. he looked up at me smiling
âI see she had funâ He said looking at the box in my hand raising his eyebrow.
âYeah I told we could get some Ice cream at the mall and when we got there we saw Ash, she went kind of crazy and Ash brought her this stupid teddy bearâ I said holding up the box her laughed at me.
âHe seems like decent kid Gabriel I actually like this one compared to that knuckle head you were dating beforeâ He said frowning I laughed if only he knew that she was a girl.
âMike wasnât that badâ I said he shook his head.
âNo he was an idiot Iâm so glad we moved you away from himâ I laughed at him Mike wasnât that bad honestly he was a little slow sometimes I havenât talked to him since we left and I donât think we broke up either, well I can always call Mia my close friend who I still talk to, to ask if he moved on.
âIâm taking her to bed then Iâm hitting the sackâ I said he nodded
âGoodnightâ he said
âNight dadâ I walked up the stair to Kenzie room thankfully my mom wasnât in there sleeping like she was when we left I took Kenzie tutu off of her and her ballet slipper off before I tucked her in. I went to my room and flopped down on the bed grumbling I was so tired I sighed before I stood back up to take a quick shower, once I was finished I changed into my PJâs and went to bed I closed my eyes hoping sleep would over take me. I started tossing around trying to get confortable I groaned I canât go to sleep Iâm so tired though. I looked at the clock 2 hours had past it was now 10 oclock I looked at my ceiling trying to count sheep in my head before I gave up and called Ash some reason it went straight to her voice mail I groaned again now what am I supposed to do I really wanted to go to sleep. I closed my eyes again and pulled the covers over my head I donât know how long I was like that before I peeked out my covers again looking at the red digits glowing in front of me it was now 12 I groaned again and screamed into my pillow frustrated before my phone started vibrating I looked at it I didnât know this number.
âHelloâ I answered cautiously I heard a chuckle
âHey Gabs just wondering if you were still upâ she said I sighed
âYeah I canât go to sleep Ash, what do you needâ I said wondering what she was doing up.
âI called to give you my new number and to tell you to open up youâre windowâ She said I looked at the phone confused and went to open my window I looked out of it and saw Ash sitting in the tree casually grinning at me she had a small bag with her.
âWhat are you doing here my dad will kill you if he sees youâ I whispered frowning and looking for her truck which I didnât see anywhere.
âNo worries I parked like a block away from here now move so I can get inâ She said I sighed and let her in once she was through the window she closed it and locked it.
âWhy are you hereâ I asked quietly locking my room door she chuckled while taking off her shirt and pants.
âWell I couldnât sleep and you obliviously canât sleep so we both will go to sleep togetherâ She said getting into my bed patting the space beside her I frowned.
âAsh I donât think youâre the reason I canât go to sleepâ I said she laughed.
âThen lets test my theory, now get youâre ass in the bedâ She said I sighed and got in the bed with her grinning at me I slowly slid in while she threw the cover over us.
âAsh what happened to youâre phoneâ I asked laying my head on her chest I felt her body rumble as she let out a chuckle.
âMy stalker called and I kind of threw it out the window while I was driving and a car ran over itâ She said stupidly I lifted my head up at her while she gave me one of her dumb smiles I laughed at her.
âYouâre such an idiot sometimesâ I mumbled to her yawning she laughed
âI know but go to sleep we have a long day tomorrow managerâ She said kissing my forehead I nodded and moved against her she shifted to her side like I was and wrapped her arms around me while I snuggled into her comfortably.
âNight Ashâ I said she mumbled something incoherently while I fell asleep I guess this means her theory was right.
