<completed>Promise (Juliantina)

30

Last week, Ashleigh invited Jul over to her place for a cuppa. She decided to matchmake Ashleigh with Chloe, provided that Ashleigh is single. On top of that, she is gonna do her own investigation to prove Val that she is right about Ashleigh's sexuality.

Detective Valdés on the move.

Friday night (Ext. Ashleigh's villa)

She is standing in front of Ashleigh's villa with Diego, her right hand grabbing onto Diego's lease and left hand holding onto a pie that she has baked by herself. She pressed the doorbell in hoping that Ashleigh will be home on a Friday night if not she is gonna use Val as a decoy during one of her morning walks with Diego.

About a minute later, Ashleigh walked out from the door, she was wearing sports bra and gym shorts. Good Lord, she is in great shape and definitely those are abs on her stomach. She
used a remote to open the auto steel gates to welcome Jul and Diego in.

"Hi Ashleigh, hope I'm not interrupting your Friday night workout. I was hoping to catch you for that cup of tea since Val is out with her friends so It's just me and Diego."

"Oh no worries, you are not interrupting. Fancy some companies especially this handsome guy right here."

"Hi Diego, what are you up to? Miss me?" Ashleigh strokes Diego's head and face, as usual Diego is excited to see Ashleigh, his tail is wagging aggressively and his tongue is sticking out.

Ashleigh initially wanted to go in for a hug but she is all sweaty from her workout so she went for a handshake instead and gestured Jul to follow her in.

Jul put Diego to the ground and throw him some chewable toys for him to play with so he won't interrupt them.

"Please come over here and have a seat. Could you give me 10 minutes for a quick wash up, I will be right back and make yourself feel comfortable."

"I'm sorry to bother you, I can leave if you want me to..."

"It's alright, you brought pie which means you are staying. Just give me 10 minutes."

Ashleigh came down with a head of wet hair, her sleeve tattoos are showing because of the sleeveless tank top that she's wearing. Jul might secretly took a second or third glance on Ashleigh's toned biceps, which are pretty distracting.

"Sorry I was in the midst of my workout before you came over, let me boil some water for our tea and what pie did you bring over?"

"Apple pie, please tell me you eat those..."

"Of course, I mean why not? You baked it yourself?"

"Yes, it's my specialty, I learnt it from my mama. Hopefully I didn't let her down with my baking skill."

"Let's hope not, let me cut us some slices."

Ashleigh places the apple pies on two plates
and hands it over to Jul.

"Now we are done with the apple pie. Which would you prefer, english breakfast or earl grey, I have others if you don't like any of these but just no coffee..."

"Earl grey is fine. Thank you."

"Hello there, fellow earl grey lover. It's rare for me to find someone who appreciate tea especially earl grey, oh well my friends are all coffee addicts which is a pity."

"You are quite fit for a girl, you workout a lot?"

"Yeah I love all kinds of physical workout like hiking, rock climbing, etc and of course surfing. I think majority Aussies know how to surf... Gotta keep my body in a great shape if it's gonna be on a magazine cover."
