Chapter Twenty-Four

K E L S E Y

I raise a brow at him still not backing down. "come on B we can do this all day and I won't budge you know that" B just smirks down at me "oh darlin I know and that is why while you and the girls were out I made a call and any minute you are about to get Ashed"

I narrow my eyes at him "Brantley Keith! You did not!"

I hear the voice of my other best friend "Oh but sweetie he did" finally breaking my stare down with B I look behind him at Ash and Eli. I grin at them completely ignoring B and running straight to Ash "God I've missed you so much, Ash... its been months, but if you guys are here who has the kids?"

She grins back at me "yeah since the last time you were home! You never have time for me anymore Kels! Eli's mama has kids" I laugh forgetting about my stare down with B beside Mama, Mama Becky, and Kasey, Ash is the only other one that can get between B and me in the middle of an argument. "God you sound like Kasey, she says that to me all the damn time"

Ash smirks "so B filled us in, Bastard is back and I am so getting my shot at him because I didn't get my shot last time, my girl needed me with her more so that is where I was but this time I get my shot"

I smirk at her "oh you and me both Ash... ohh I have done told B to let me at him first" 

Ash looks at me for a moment "wait a minute back that up a second... You just said B, I haven't heard you call him B in a long time" she looks at B "not that we talk about you... oh, who am I kidding of course we do... but anyway it's usually BG or Brantley... So Kelsey Nicole spill!"

I smirk at her "I don't know what you're talking about Ash"

She narrows her eyes "that is a bunch of crap Kelsey Nicole and you know it" her eyes widen as she glances between B and me "No! Oh my god! It happened, didn't it? You pulled your heads out of your asses" she clasps her hands together looking up at the sky "thank you, Jesus"

I roll my eyes "You are being overdramatic Ash"

She grins "maybe so but it happened and I have every right to be dramatic about it" 

Eli comes over "Ash babe breathe" before pulling me into a hug "Hey Kels" 

I hug him back "Hi Eli"

Ash gives B a look "you could have told me on the phone B!" Lauren speaks reminding me that we aren't alone "oh no, of course, he didn't  they're keeping it a secret"

Ash looks at her "then how do you know about it, Lauren?"

Lina grins "oh Laur and I figured it out last night... she didn't have to say a word" I roll my eyes "Laur it's not a secret if it was then nobody would know but there are several people that know"

Ash grins teasingly at me "oh really now?" I playfully shove her shoulder "duh had to tell mama Becky, who told my mama, who told daddy and Kasey who told Amber, who called me and screamed in my damn ear that it was about damn time"

Ash bursts out laughing "oh my god that woman is crazy that's for sure but I can totally see it though, I swear nobody has been rooting for you more than she has, like damn woman"

I grin at her "Right? And she's crazy alright but god do I love her to death" I smirk over at B "so not what you expected when you called Ash in was it?" I grab Ash by the arm and pull her towards the door as B calls out "and where do you think you are going?"

I smirk over my shoulder "I am taking Ash with me to Wardrobe and she is going to help Danielle and I with my outfit for the show" Ash grins at him "it's alright B I'll keep our girl safe plus I know you'll keep PJ close by anyway, so you and Eli just hang out here we will be fine"

The three of us step off the bus and PJ escorts us to the arena to meet with Danielle to figure out what I'm wearing on stage tonight.

I smile at Danielle as we walk in the room "Danielle this Ash, she has been my best friend since preschool" 

Ash waves at her "Hi" then Ash looks at me "okay so you dragged me over here for an opinion am I right? So let's see what we got that will blow his mind just seeing you in it"

I grin at her "see this is why I brought you over here" we spent an hour going through outfits before we found the perfect one that will definitely take B's breath away. I mean I do that anyway... or so he's said but this time I am going for the reaction.

Just hanging out with and Ash and knowing that everyone here has my back almost makes me forget about the whole situation... I said almost.

This is so not the direction I was gonna go with this but when I started writing it's what came out but we got a modern-day appearance of Ash and Eli and we still have an appearance from David coming.
