~*~ Chapter 14 ~*~
ORLANDO, FL - O-Town House
Kirstin’s answer felt like a punch to Ashley’s stomach.
“What? You come here, you kiss me, you say all those things about fate bringing
us together and you are not gonna be my girlfriend?!?”
“Ashley, calm down. I wanna be with you. I really do. I just don’t wanna be
labeled as your girlfriend. Not just yet, anyway.”
“Why not? I don’t get it!”
“I was never happy being someone’s girlfriend!”
Ashley was a bit lost at that moment.
“But... are we gonna be together?” that was all he wanted. He wanted to be able
to feel Kirstin’s lips again on his own.
“Yes. I just don’t want label what we have. Maybe that way it will work for
me. Not being your girlfriend, I mean… But yes, I wanna be with you.”
“Are you sure? Is that what you really want?” Ashley wanted to be with her,
but he also needed her to wanna be with him.
“More than anything else in this world, I want to be with you, Ashley Ward Parker
Angel.” she answered with a big smile on her face.
Ashley was so happy he felt like crying. But all he did was stand up, take Kirstin’s
hand to help her up so he could hold her in his arms. He just wanted to feel
her wrapped in his arms. That way, he'd be certain she wasn’t gonna escape from
him again. That after all he went through, he got what he wanted. The girl he
loved. They just stayed there, with their eyes shut. Kirstin had her head on
his shoulder and Ashley had his hand in her hair. They just stayed there. And
it felt right; for both of them.
It felt like hours had gone by when Kirstin spoke up:
“I don’t know if this really feels right.”
Ashley felt nervous. Was she backing off already?
“What? You think that you and me don’t feel right?”
“Yeah… I don’t know…”
“Kirstin, you can not be serious! Please don’t do this, not now, not when everything
is just perfect. Please!”
“Well, I don’t know... I think I should be with someone a little bit…” she looked
at Ashley and noticed this nervous look on his face “taller.” She tried not
to smile, as her face formed a serious look.
“What?” Ashley didn’t get she was messing with him.
“Well, this picture is messed up. The right thing is when a girl has her head
on the guy’s chest. But you are just too short for me. My head is on your shoulder.
That’s not comfortable at all! I should be with someone taller…” she saw his
nervous look give way to a beautiful and big smile.
“Oh, you should, shouldn’t you?” he grabbed her and started to tickle her waist,
where he knew she was most ticklish.
“Stop, Ashley, please, stop it!” she said through laughter and finally was able
to get off of his arms and run around the pool.
“Oh, you come here, K!” he was running after her.
“No, Ash, please don’t!” she begged when he was getting closer.
“Gotcha!” he grabbed her from behind and started tickling her again. She was
laughing really hard. Ashley was loving it. She fought back but it was not working.
When she realized she couldn’t get rid of him, she just started tickling him
too, on his stomach, where he was most ticklish.
“If you can’t beat them, join them! I know your spot too, Ashley.”
They were both laughing pretty hard. Kirstin lay on the floor, but Ashley didn’t
stop tickling her. He suddenly stopped tickling her, his breath catching in
his throat. He just stared Kirstin’s figure, laying there, still giggling while
trying to catch her breath from laughing so hard. She noticed his serious look
staring at her. He brushed a lock of hair away from her face.
“What?” Kirstin asked.
“Nothing.” he wouldn’t stop staring at her, so she asked again.
“What? Ashley! Stop it! You know how much I hate when people stare!”
“Yes, but I can’t help it. You are just too beautiful.”
“Oh, stop it!”
“But you are!” he ran his hand through her hair “Can I kiss you?”
“No!” Ashley frowned “Because I’m gonna kiss you first.” she placed her hand
on the back of his neck and pulled him to her. They lay there, kissing. She
moaned when she felt Ashley’s tongue on hers. Things were starting to heat up.
Ashley made his way to her neck, kissing, licking and sucking it lightly. His
right hand was rubbing her stomach. She was enjoying that, maybe too much, but
she didn’t wanna go too far, so she gently pushed him away.
“Hm, Ashley, you know what? I haven’t seen your room yet.”
Ashley got the hint. She didn’t wanna go too fast. He smiled. He was cool with
that. Now that he had her, he’d wait how ever long she wanted to. He smiled,
got up, gave his hand out to her, so she would get up too, and said:
“You are gonna love it! Come on!”
He held her hand and, running, lead her to his room. When they were at his bedroom’s
door, which was closed, he informed:
“Don’t mind this sign here. You’re with me so that’s ok.” he smirked , pointing
to the sign on his door that read 'No Trespassing' “You are about to enter the
coolest room ever! You have never seen anything so cool in your entire life.
So be prepared!”
Kirstin grinned and shook her head. She forgot how silly Ashley could be.
“Ok. Just give me one second to prepare myself.” she joked, taking a breath
“Ok, I'm ready! Let’s do it!”
Ashley smiled and opened the door. When Kirstin entered it, she couldn’t believe
her eyes. She was in this red and blue room, with a lot of Superman symbols
all around it. Looking around, she said:
“Oh my God! It’s exactly how you wanted your room to be like! It’s just like
that drawing you did in my bedroom once.”
“You remember that? That was a long, long time ago! We had just started being
friends, I guess.”
“Yeah, I know that. But of course I remember it. I always thought it would be
ridiculous to have a big, metal Superman symbol over your bed. I remember I
thought you’d never find one, but I see that you have!”
“Yes! I got that custom made!”
“Oh, all the good things that come with fame!”
“Isn’t that cool?”
“I stick to my former statement. It’s ridiculous!”
“Shut up! It is not!” Ashley was giggling.
“It is too!” she was still looking around the room, incredulous “But I guess
it fits you.”
“What is that suppose to mean?”
“Well, it’s been a dream of yours to have a room like this and…” she wanted
to say it, but was not sure if she should, because she wasn’t sure Ashley would
remember it.
“And… what?”
“It fits you because… You’re my Superman.” she smiled. He got closer to her,
wrapped his arms around Kirstin’s waist and said, inches away from her face:
