Until Dawn Prompts

I like Animals (And you)

Prompt for Anon on Tumblr; 'Ashley first meets Sam at the animal shelter Sam works at because she wanted to adopt a cat. Then, she ends up adopting two more cats, a dog, and a rabbit because she wanted to see Sam again, but didn't have the guts to ask her out. So Sam asks, "You must really like animals. . ." or smth and Ashley Accidentally says "Or I really like you. . ."

"Come ON Chris. You're making me really depressed with all this moping. Why don't you just tell him how you feel?" I said, looking over at the faux hawked blonde who looked miserable as he continued to look over at Josh and Matt, who honestly looked as happy as can be. For as long as I can remember Chris has had a crush on Mr. Washington, why? I never really understood and can't see why. I suppose he's attractive? I really wouldn't know, I prefer rounded curves and shapely busts. And well, he isn't like that. At all. He has a sharp jaw, wide shoulders, no curvy hips, ya know. A man pretty much. And well, I'm a full on lesbian over here. Found out when I was about 15, I decided to experiment with Jessica who even at a young age was free with her body and didn't mind experimenting with me, of course she prefers guys, she's with Mike Munroe after all, but she does come to see me once in awhile and we just have some fun. No harm in it, Mike even knows, hell, Matt is cheating on Josh with Mike, Jessica knows but has only told me and Emily, and it pisses me off to no end that it's happening and Josh has no clue. I'd prefer if Josh was with Chris, who loves him dearly and is always there for him no matter what. Who was there when Josh was sick? Chris. Who was there to take a drunk as hell Josh home? Chris. Who was there when Josh came out to his parents and they kicked him out for a few weeks and let him stay at their place? Chris.

Josh has no idea what he is missing out on. Of course Matt isn't a bad guy. Not at all, he just hasn't been through the stuff Chris has been through with him. Matt is a busy guy, football, Josh, Mike, and his little brothers football team. I know that the Josh and Matt thing isn't going to last long at all, I just wish Josh would see how much Chris loved him sooner . .

"Ashley, I can't. You know I can't. . . ." Chris looked down, looking pained, then looked up suddenly, as if he had an idea, "I'll tell Josh I love him IF," Oh god, don't say it, "You admit you like that girl, Samantha, who works at the animal shelter." Oh god he said it.

Ah yes, Samantha. She is beauty incarnate, she is the Aphrodite to my Hephaestus. Well, in my mind she is. No way would I tell her that out loud. She doesn't need to know how much of a nerd I am YET.

"I can't do that!"

"Come'on Ash, you've adopted like, 20 animals from there. She HAS to be a bit suspicious.

"All lies. I've only adopted 4 dogs, and 4 cats so far. . . ."

"You're going there tomorrow, aren't you?"

"I just need one more little pup to make my family complete." I crossed my arms and looked down.

"Uh huh."

"Shut up!"

Yeah, I'm going back. But you can't blame me! I have 4 cats; Hannah, Josh, Beth, and Jessica. And 4 dogs so far; Mike, Matt, Emily, and Chris. Today I plan on adopting a small golden retriever, one I've been eyeing for a few weeks now, she is a beautiful little pup and it should be about time for them to get off of their mother, so I have to hurry and get her if I want her, pups go quickly in this town. Young kids and all wanting to get their first dog for their birthday and all.
