Shared Responsibilities - LW

Part 9

Ash's POV:

"Come on you, let's go downstairs the girls will be here soon". I spoke grabbing her hand pulling her towards me and the putting my hands on her hips to guide her in front of me as we left my bedroom. She shyly looked over her shoulder at me to make sure I was following which I responded with a small smile and a wink.

"What time are the girls getting here?" Le asked as she sat back down at my kitchen counter as I started pulling out some snacks for everyone.

"They should be here in the next 10 minutes or so, why gonna miss having me all to yourself?" I teased. Oh god, I think I'm addicted? I can't stop teasing her especially when she reacts so easily. Wait? Does she like me? Or am I making her uncomfortable? Oh shit maybe I should stop?
Quickly shaking my head and clearing my thoughts I looked over to Leah who had her head down but lifted it with what seemed to be a small blush gently leaving her face.
"Sorry, if my teasing is making you uncomfortable please tell me". I frowned at her not meaning to make her embarrassed or uncomfortable.

"W-wait..."

Ding dong!

"Oi Ash open up!" Grace shouted through my letter box. I sent an apologetic smile to Leah as I headed out the kitchen towards the front door to find Grace, Shannon, and Hannah from my team and Katie, Jen, Viv, Beth and Alessia.

"Hey guys, sorry come in!" I welcomed them with an embarrassed smile as I thought back to my actions with Leah and how I've obviously pushed too far. Stepping back and letting them all come in, before closing the door and walking them through to the kitchen.

After all the hellos were exchanged I got them each a drink and unfortunately it was a non-alcoholic as we all had training tomorrow and well I had my appointment.

"So before we go into the living room, you fancy a tour?" I smiled rubbing the back of my neck.

After a chorus of replies I showed them round, noticing Leah hanging at the back, looking deep in conversation with Beth. I hope she forgives me. We ended up back at the kitchen when Katie asked "can we see your garage? I just love your car!"

"Hahah! Yeah of course, follow me." I nodded as I started walking towards the door that led into the garage. Not before making slight eye contact with Leah.

Leah's POV:

As we Ash was giving a house tour me and Beth were at the back as she noticed my odd behaviour "what's wrong?" Beth asked with a concerned smile.
"I nearly admitted my feelings to Ash". I blushed at her.
"That's great! Why you so down about it?" She quickly hushed her voice realising she was a bit loud in the beginning, which made me laugh.
"Well you know how she teases me?" Beth nodded. "Well she thought she was making me uncomfortable and before I got chance to correct her, you guys were at the door". I huffed feeling slightly deflated.
"Ohhhh, no wonder she looked so embarrassed and awkward when she opened the door". Beth thought out loud.
"Wait, really?" I questioned, feeling bad about not being able to finish mine and Ash's conversation.
"Yeah! She looked really out of it, I would even say a bit upset. Look, see how tonight goes and try speak to her". Beth advised making me feel a little better. Maybe I can finally tell her how I feel.

Soon we where yet again interrupted this time by Katie asking to see the garage, which made me realise we finished the tour and was back in the kitchen. Why didn't she show them her office? I thought to myself. Me and Ash made brief I contact as she started turning around leading us to her garage.

"Right mind some of the boxes, I just got some deliveries that I need to install to my bike". Ash explained as she opened the door allowing us to head in.
