I'll Take Care Of You

Chapter 6

            I spent that whole weekend with Ash. I got to meet his family, whom all were very nice. There were so many of them: him, his grandma, dad, mom, sister, brother, cousin, and his cousin's sister. I connected with his cousin, Skylar, right away. She was so cool and nice. It was like she was an older sister that I never had. When I left their house Sunday night, I couldn't wait to go back.

            "You are welcome here anytime." Ash's mom, Karen, told me.

            I smiled and nodded. "It was nice to meet you, Jennifer." said his dad, Robert.

            "You too!" I answered back.

            Skylar ran up and gave me a big, tight hug. I hugged back laughing. "Come back soon!" she told me.

            "Oh I will, Panda." Yah, I already had a nickname for Sky, because of her obsession with pandas. I waved bye to everyone and then walked to the car and got in as Ash started it. 

            On our way to my house I got a great idea in my head. Well not really an idea, more like a nickname. I hadn't had one for Ashton yet, so I just thought of one.

            "I GOT IT!" I saw Ash jump a little as my voice broke the silence.

            "What?" he asked, looking over at me then back at the road.

            "I thought of a nickname for you." I replied with a smile on my face. "It's kinda cheesy, but it's the best I got."

            "Well, let's hear it." he answered back with a smile.

            "Are you sure you're ready for the awesomeness of this name?" I asked, looking at him.

            "Lay it on me babe." He said back, with a smirk.

            I cleared my throat then told him. "AshAsh." I looked at the smirk on his face.

            "AshAsh? Hmm...not bad." he answered back with a chuckle. "Now I have to think of one for you."

            I giggled and answered him back. "Good luck with that. I am the nickname master." It only took him five seconds to come up with a name for me. By that time we were already parked out front of my house. He turned the car off and turned towards me. I saw a smile play on his lips.

            "Ok, you ready to hear mine for you?" he asked. I nodded, looking into his eyes. He leaned closer to me until we were inches apart. "Hey there, JenJen." he said with a smirk.

            "JenJen? Not too bad, kinda catchy, sounds familiar." I answered with a smirk. He just chuckled and leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips. He pulled away and we just stared at each other. "Well, it's getting late. I better head inside." He frowned a little then nodded, looking away to start the car. I turned his head in my direction again and then crushed my lips against his. I pulled away a minute later and smiled up at him.

            "See yah tomorrow." I whispered. He looked down and smiled back.

            "See yah. I'll text you later." I nodded and then unbuckled the seatbelt.

            After I made my way to the front of my house, I turned around to wave bye. He waved back as I turned back around and opened the door. I closed the door behind me and headed up to my room. My mom was still out with her friends. Figures. I got ready for bed and then laid down and watched TV, waiting for Ash to text me.
