My Last Breath

Chapter 21- revenge is sweet

Waiting for Bruce to come, I text back ok and lay down on my bed watching Arrow. Watching it constantly, I hear the doorbell ring a few hours later. Walking downstairs, I open the door and smile the biggest smile. He's finally here! Looking at him, he's gotten taller and still has that same twinkle in his eyes. Looking down at me, I hug him. Hugging me back, I back up and look at him. "Uh is something wrong Ash?" Shaking my head, I walk inside "make yourself at home dude," I yawn. Walking in, he sits on the couch "so, what's this little problem hmm?" Raising one eyebrow. I sit down next to him and I look down with my hair in my face, "I need you to do something for me." Lifting my chin to meet his, I look into his eyes and get lost in them. "What is it?"
Ugh, I forgot how hot he was. His green eyes were like a soft, greenish- blue lake. His hair the color of the sun, just everything about him I admire. You could say that I admire his qualities. Daydreaming, I sit there until "Ash!" Shaking my head, I sigh "I'm sorry, I need you to help me hurt Jesse." Closing his eyes, he clears his throat, "Ashely, why would you want to do that?"

  "Because he deserves what he gets. I'm not taking any of his crap anymore, he should pay for what he did." He smirks, "that's my girl." I blush and my dad walks in. Stopping in the kitchen, I whisper "my dads here!" His eyes grow wide with worry and I grab his hand, "come with me."  Tiptoeing upstairs, I fall backwards as he catches me, "woah there clumsy." Smiling, we make it to my room as I shut my door. He jumps on the bed and looks around, "clean room Ash," he laughs. Rolling my eyes, he grins "you and your habits man."

Throwing a pillow at him, he chuckles and he smirks, "oh, I'm getting you back for that." Getting up, he chases me around the room and traps me in a corner. Unable to move, I bite my lip and jump on the bed.
"Gotcha!" 
Screaming playfully, he wraps his hands around my waist and tosses me on the bed. He checks his phone and a girls name lights up the screen.
  "Damn it," he sighs. 
"Uh, who's Emma?"
   "A friend that I like," he blushes. I smile and stick my tongue out. Making shapes with it, I try and talk "but does she like you?"
  "I don't know, I want her to. But I have someone else in mind." Looking at me, I dart my head to the side and change topics. "The weather is nice today, don't you think so?"
  He blows on my neck, "yes, it's beautiful." Shivering a little, he rolls his eyes and pulls me close to him. Leaning on his chest, he outlines my face, "thank you for rescuing me from college. I needed a break to clear my head." Nodding, I clear my throat "your welcome, anything for a friend." Breathing in and out, he closes his eyes "I'll do it.. for you."

  Smiling, I kiss his hand "thanks bro." He nods and I get a whiff of his cologne. I think about it as he runs his hand down my neck. Tilting my head to the side, he's about to kiss it when he stops. "Ash, I know your still trying to figure things out or whatever; but would you like to hang out with me sometime?" I face my body toward his and smile, "I've missed us hanging out like we used to, so yes." I put a hand on his cheek and he kisses my head. "You know, I don't know how you'll ever survive high school without me," he chuckles.
  "Oh shut up," I chuckle.
He taps my nose and I lay beside him wrapping my arms around his waist. I smile, "why are you always so warm?" He turns his face to look at me, "because I can be." Playing with his hair, he hugs me softly and I hug him back mumbling, "you give the best hugs, I wish I could stay like this forever." Even if we want something to last a long time, thing don't always go the way we want them to. Even if we dream about them or let alone fantasize about them; we know they can never be.
