Our Secret Love

Eight

Megan arrived at her apartment, she couldn't stop thinking about Ashley and how she couldn't wait to see her again. She took a quick shower and got dressed, wanting to look her best for their date. She put on some music and poured herself a few shots of tequila, trying to ease her nerves.

As she downed the shots, she couldn't help but feel grateful for her new friendship with Ashley. She had been there for her every step of the way, helping her get settled in and showing her around town.

A wave of confidence washed over her; Megan decided to surprise Ashley with a small gift to thank her for the time they have spent together. She grabbed her keys and locked up the apartment, heading to the mall and picked out a beautiful diamond necklace. She also bought some flowers, wanting to make the evening extra special. She couldn't wait to see Ashley's reaction.

After the mall, Megan headed to Ashley's apartment to pick her up for their date. The new restaurant in town had recently opened, and they were going to try out their famous margaritas. Megan had heard great reviews about the place and was excited to share the experience with Ashley.

Megan arrived at Ashleys apartment she took a deep breath before she headed to the door.

As soon as Ashley opened the door, Megan's heart skipped a beat. Ashley looked stunning.

'Hey, you look amazing,' Megan said 'I got you something' she said as she handed Ashley the gift bag with the necklace inside and flowers.

Ashley's face lit up with a smile 'Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself and you didn't have to get me anything.'

Megan walked inside Ashley's apartment 'I know but I wanted to, you should open it' Megan said with a smile.

She watched as Ashley opened the necklace. When Ashley saw the necklace, her eyes widened in surprise.

'Oh my God, Megan. This is incredible,' Ashley exclaimed as she hugged her new lover tightly. She then took the necklace out of its box and put it on, admiring it in the mirror. Overwhelmed with emotions, Ashley turned to Megan and kissed her passionately.

'I'm so happy you like it,' Megan said with a smile, feeling a rush of warmth and happiness in her heart.

'I love it, thank you Megan' Ashley said with the biggest smile.

'Your welcome beautiful, are you ready to head out?' Megan asked. Ashley nodded her head and grabbed her purse.

Megan grabbed Ashley's hand and guided her out the door and to the car. As they drove to the restaurant, the sun was casting a beautiful orange glow over the town. Megan placed her hand on Ashley's thigh. Ashley glanced at her with a mischievous twinkle in her eye and placed her hand on top of Megan's. They both smiled at each other, sending a jolt of electricity through her body.

As they arrived at the restaurant, they were both amazed by the beautiful ambiance and delicious smells that filled the air. They were led to a cozy table in a corner and ordered their drinks. While they waited for their drinks, Megan couldn't stop staring at Ashley. She felt like she had known her for years.

Ashley turned to Megan and asked, 'So, what do you think about love, Megan?'

Megan paused for a moment, unsure of how to answer. 'I believe in love, but I haven't had the best experiences in the past,' she admitted.

Ashley nodded, understandingly. 'Love can be scary, but it's also the most beautiful feeling in the world,' she said with a dreamy look in her eyes. 'I believe that the right person will come into our lives when we least expect it and change everything.'

Megan couldn't help but feel drawn to Ashley's optimistic outlook on love.

'You know, marriage and kids are definitely in my future,' Ashley said, taking a sip of her margarita.

Megan swallowed hard and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Megan turned to Ashley and asked, 'Do you really see yourself getting married and having kids?'

Ashley smiled and nodded. 'Definitely. I've always dreamed of having a big, loving family.'

'What about you, Megan?' Ashley asked.

Megan took a sip of her drink and thought for a moment. She had never really thought about marriage and kids. Her previous relationship had ended before they could even talk about it.

'I don't know. I guess I've never really thought about it. I'm just focusing on starting over and finding my place in this new town,' Megan responded honestly.

Ashley smiled understandingly. 'Well, whenever you do decide, I think you'll make a great wife and mother.' Megan blushed at the compliment and thanked Ashley.

As they sipped on their drinks and indulged in delicious food, the conversation turned to traveling.

'I love to travel,' Ashley said, taking a sip of her drink. 'I've been to so many amazing places - Costa Rica, Japan, Greece...'

Megan's eyes widened with awe. She had always dreamed of traveling the world but never had the opportunity. 'Wow, that's incredible. I've only been to a few places in Europe, but I've always wanted to explore more. Do you have one place that you want to go to that is your dream place.'

Ashley nodded understandingly. 'Well, in my opinion, the best way to truly experience a new place is by immersing yourself in the local culture. Learning about their customs, trying new foods, even attempting the language. It's a way to connect with the people and the place. My dream place is Fiji.'

Megan couldn't agree more. 'OMG Fiji is my dream place too. That's exactly what I want to do. Do you have any tips for someone who's never traveled alone before?'

Ashley smiled, excited to share her knowledge. 'First of all, always do your research on the place you're visiting. Be respectful of their customs and dress appropriately. And never be afraid to try new things - that's how you'll have the most memorable experiences.' Megan hung onto every word, feeling inspired and motivated to start planning her next adventure.

As they finished their last margarita, Ashley turned to Megan and said, 'You know, I have a feeling we're going to have some unforgettable adventures together, Megan.'

After dinner, they took a walk by the water. The moon was shining brightly and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore added to the romantic ambiance. Megan and Ashley held hands as they strolled along, gazing into each other's eyes. They stopped and sat on a bench, watching the water flow by. The moon reflected off Ashley's eyes, making them sparkle.

'It's so beautiful here,' Megan said, looking out at the city lights reflecting on the water.

'It's even more beautiful with you here,' Ashley replied, looking deeply into Megan's eyes.

Megan couldn't hold back any longer. She placed her hand on Ashleys chin and she leaned in and kissed Ashley. The kiss was soft and sweet, but it spoke volumes.

As they drove home from their date, Megan and Ashley couldn't stop laughing. The margaritas had definitely kicked in and they were feeling the effects. With the windows down and the wind in their hair, Megan couldn't resist stealing a glance at Ashley.

As they pulled up to Ashley's apartment, Megan felt a tug in her heart. She didn't want the night to end. She parked the car and turned to Ashley, who was looking at her with a shy smile.

'Thanks for a wonderful night, Megan,' Ashley said, her hand trembling as she reached out to touch Megan's cheek.

Before either of them knew it, their faces were drawing closer, and their lips met in a passionate kiss. The chemistry between them was undeniable and they lost themselves in each other. Megan was surprised by how much she wanted and needed Ashley in that moment.

Lost in the heat of the moment, they arrived at Ashley's apartment. Megan parked the car, and they stumbled out, still wrapped in each other's embrace. They stumbled up the stairs, not caring about anything else but the other person. Their hands roamed freely over each other's bodies, their kisses growing more intense with each passing moment. By the time they reached Ashley's apartment, they were both feverish with desire. They tumbled onto the couch; their lips still locked together.

They couldn't wait to get their clothes off. The urgency was palpable as they undressed each other, exploring each other's bodies with their hands and lips. They were in perfect sync with each other's desires. The night was filled with steamy kisses, gentle caresses and loud moans.
