Ash

Sam's POV

"Sooo, what was Ashley talking to you about back there?", Gabe asks me as we are walking home after his shift. I chuckle, "oh it was nothing". Gabe stops walking and puts his hand on his hip, "it was most definitely not nothing! She was pointing and giggling!!". I grab his hand and pull him so we begin to walk again. "Okay okay... she was just asking about you... like if we love together, how long we've been together, y'know the usual teenage girl questions".

Gabe sighs, "no I most definitely don't know the usual teenage girl questions, considering I've never been a teenage girl!". I laugh uncontrollably, "alright I get it. I'll tell you when we get to my dorm, okay?". He rolls his eyes, "ooookay".

I pull out my keys and unlock the door. I open the door and gesture Gabe to go first. He walks in and takes a few steps and then I tackle him onto the bed. We start wrestling and rolling around. I accidentally push too hard and Gabe falls off the bed. "Ahhhhh!!!", I hear a thump followed by hysterical laughter, "I'm okay!". I jump on top of him and start kissing his neck.

He melts into touch and starts giggling. I stop and look at him. "It tickles", he whispered. I shake my head and laugh and he grabs me and pulls me closer, "I didn't say stop". I start again, and begin kissing his neck softly. I hear him whimper and moan so I begin sucking and nibbling softly.

I continue until there's a purplish red mark. I move back so I'm facing him and he leans in closer, staring at my lips the whole time. Right before our lips met, he pushed me off and stood up, "I'm hungry". I smile lightly, "You ass.... let's go get food then". He smirks and looks at me innocently, "Oh but what ever did I do for you to use such vulgar words?". I shove him lightly and head towards the door.

We walk hand in hand to the nearest McDonald's. As we walk through the doors, we notice it's nearly empty except for a few lonely people and a group of teenagers about 17 or 18. We walk up to the counter and Gabe orders first, "Um hello, I'd like a large McChicken meal please", and he turns to me, waiting. "Oh! Uh I'd like a large number 2 meal, thanks". The lady rings up the order and the group of teenagers stared the whole time. "Your total will be $9.35". I pay and we sit down across from each other at a booth.

Gabe leans in close and whispers in my ear, "I think those teenagers are staring at us". I descreetly look over towards them, "yeah don't pay any attention to them. They look like assholes". He nods his head and sits back against the seat. The lady brings us our order and we begin to eat.

A few minutes later, the group walks up to us. The "leader" looking one gets really close and crosses his arms. "I don't appreciate fags being around me. You should leave". I don't want to fight so I try to be as nice as possible, "please leave us alone, we are trying to eat". Obviously he doesn't get the message, "I don't think you heard me! I don't appreciate having fags around me! Shoving your gayness in my face! Leave!", he spits everywhere like a sprinkler.

Just as I'm about to say something, Gabe speaks up, "You know what? You can kindly fuck off because we didn't do anything! We were quietly eating our food and did nothing to disturb anyone! The second we got into this establishment, we didn't even touch each other so NO we are nothing shoving our gayness in your face! And by the looks of it, you didn't buy anything so you aren't even paying costumers, so you can leave!". I stare at him astonished. Usually he's shy but damn he can sure stand up for himself.

The so called leader furrowed his brow and looked at Gabe angrily, "How about you shut your fag mouth before I punch it!". Just then, he was whipped around and punched in the face. I heard a familiar voice say, "is fag the only damn word in your vocabulary?". He fell to the ground and our "savior" stepped forward. Ashley.

The group helped the jackass up. She grabbed him by the collar, "you listen here, you fuck with them again, it'll be the last thing you do". They huff and walk out the door, defeated. "Ash!", Gabe gets up and hugs her, "thank you!". She hugs back but scoffs, "no need to thank me. You nearly handled that yourself".

Sam stands up and bear hugs her, "thanks Ash! Gabe really lashed out on him!", I nudge his shoulder, "but damn you taught him a lesson". She smiles and sits in the booth. We join her, "yeah those guys go to my school. Real assholes if you haven't noticed", she chuckles. "Oh, we have", me and Gabe say in sync.

She starts eating our fries like she's known us for years or something, obviously we don't mind. "Yeah, they think they are all big and bad. I'm so glad I decked that guy in the face. Now I can cross it off my bucket list", she laughs.

Gabe's POV

Looks like Ashley saved the day. I almost had them myself! I had so much more to say. Maybe there will be a next time..... I wasn't going to go as far as hitting him.... well only if he touched me first. I'm surprised none of the workers came to see what was going on!!!! I know they heard the yelling. So much for caring about the customers.

For the next hour, us three just talked and mingled. I learned some new things about her like that she's adopted but her foster parents don't seem to care about her so she's usually never home, she's bisexual, she really loves french fries, and she makes alot of money but won't tell us how.

"Ashley.... why did they adopt you if they don't care about you?", Sam spoke up. "Well, I don't even know. They are stuck up rich people. They just wanted to seem nice and caring. They just wanted more popularity. They basically shun me because they want me to be dainty and fancy but hell no. This is who I am and I'm not gonna change for anybody", she stuffs more fries into her mouth. "Oh, I'm sorry Ash.... maybe you could find a better home so you won't be stuck there for 3 more years!", Sam said cheerfully.

"Yeah I doubt it.... I mean my mom didn't want me and my foster parents don't want me, so why would anybody else want me?", she crossed her arms. "I do", I spoke up. "I mean, I'd adopt you if I could. But I'm only 21... we could be siblings pretty much", I frown. "Hey... it's worth a shot!", she gets excited. "What???", Sam looks confused.

"Please please please! You could at least try!!! I don't even have to live with you! You could just have custody! You won't even have to worry about me! I need to get away from that snotty family!", she begs. "I-i-i don't know about this. I need to talk to Sam, okay?", I stutter. "Okay....", she gets up and goes to the bathroom.

"What is even going on??", Sam panicked. "I-i-i don't know! I was just trying to be nice! Well, yeah I would love to have her but I just can't do that. And if I adopt her, I can't just let her roam the streets!!!!", I say frantically. "This is happening too fast", Sam shakes his head.

Ash pokes her head through the door and I wave her over. She sits down and right before I start talking, I see her cross her fingers in her lap. Oh my god, she's making this so hard. "Ash.... this is all happening really fast... we don't know each other that well....", I see her start to almost tear up, "but....", her eyes light up, "I care about you a lot and I know you're struggling.... so I'm gonna give it a shot...".

Her eyes fill with excitement but she tries to play it cool, "Really???? I mean, uh, sweet". I write my number on a napkin and hand it to her, "I can't guarantee when it will happen so just give me some time, okay?", she nods in response and hugs both of us across the table then skips outside. "Alright, we need to talk....", Sam speaks up. Shit.
