Knox opened his mouth to speak when the door, yet again was thrown open. Another beautiful man stepped out into the courtyard. Ashtynn was confused, nervous, and somewhat wondering if this a semi-fantasy coming to life? The man that stepped out was probably her age, had green eyes, long, dark tribal tattoos that marked his arms, down his back and licked at his thighs. His hair was dark shaved on both sides, but grown in the middle and slicked back.

He crossed his arms and looked at her and flashed her a heartbreaking smile.

"Hello there, I'm Blaez." His smile didn't waver, he even threw a wink her way. Whatever I've done, can I please let this keep happening?

"Uh, hi." Ash said as she looked between the two men. Is this a porno? What is going on? Blaez flashed his green eyes to the man sparking up a cigarette.

"Time to go," he said and looked at Ash one last time. "Catch you later, gorgeous."

Knox walked over, kissed her roughly and grabbed her ass, then followed his second in command out the door and shut it behind him. Ash sat down and sparked up a cigarette herself.

"What the fuck just happened?"

Ash's lunch hour ended pretty early, considering she was constantly thinking about the two men that ambushed her in the courtyard. She came back in after spraying herself with some perfume. Just because she smoked cigarettes, didn't mean she wanted to smell like one. As she was tying her apron back on she saw Rebecca eyeing her and Cain had a smirk and turned away, making a drink for the latest customer.

The rest of the shift breezed by, Ash sent Cain a text, asking him to come over, she had a surprise for the two of them. Cain agreed, utterly intrigued by what his purple haired friend would have. After they closed the cafe, the bookstore stayed open a little longer and they all said their goodbye's, see you tomorrow's. Ash asked Cain to grab some quick grub, he would know what she wanted no matter where he went. She had a quick errand to run.

She finally got to the guy's house and turned her car off. She sent him a text, letting him know she was there. A guy with long brown hair got in, she noticed he had been trying to grow out his facial hair. He was 21 (she thought), but it was a little peach fuzz above his upper lip. She handed him the money, and he handed her a tiny wrapped up bag, which she quickly slipped into her bra.

"Nice doin' business with you ma'am."

"Thank you, Pac-Man, you've made my next few days fun." She said as he shut the door, and her window was rolled down. He whirled around and leaned into her car.

"Don't forget to eat and sleep." She threw her head back and laughed.

**(MINOR MENTION OF DRUG)**

"You act like I've never done white girl before." She winked as she started her car and headed towards home.

**(MINOR MENTION OVER)**

Cain pulled in her driveway around the same time and they saw that her grandmother was back home. She was already drunk, the dogs barking at them from the barn that couldn't be seen from the house. They both went into the kitchen and grabbed whatever condiments and utensils they needed and headed up to her bedroom.
