Quote of the day: There are few times in your life when you need to do a few cleansing, get rid of those garbages and free your mind of all those anger, jealousy and hatred, just go ahead and do it, you become a lot happier instantly.

   Ashley sat in his car fidgeting, the words she had said was dangling right before her eyes, mocking her, why does she have to be so forward with everything? She just wished her mouth would always listen to her head once in a while.
  
     Greg wasn't talking, she was also too scared to look at him, she didn't know what she would see.

     What would he think of her now?  He must think she is some desperate leech just waiting for him to give the green light.

   "Well, is it working?" Greg said with a nervous laugh. Ashley wanted to know what he was talking about, she looked at him and met with his green eyes staring right into hers. And as you can already guessed, she was hypnotized. She couldn't look elsewhere but those eyes of his, those eyes do a lot of things to her, things he had no idea of.

   "What?" She asked still looking into his eyes.

    "You are right, I am indeed trying to ask you to be my girlfriend, so is it working?" Greg asked and she was really surprised he actually said that. What surprised her more was Greg's nervousness. "I was actually going to that you know, but then you took the words right out of my mouth and I...I really..."

    For real, Greg was a nervous wreck and it was all so new to her. She wasn't expecting Greg to ask her to be his girlfriend. And she hadn't even expected him to be nervous about it, and it made her curious. She wanted to ask him a question but she knew it was quite a stupid question, but you know all about her curiosity and how her mouth works. So she asked. "Is this the first time you will be asking a girl out?" After saying that she laughed because she knew Greg would be laughing at her face soon.

    But instead of laughing Greg looked all the more nervous and she regretted she asked the stupid question. She bent her head in embarrassment afraid to meet his eyes.

  "Is it that obvious?" Greg said. This was so shocking that her head shot up instantly.

    "Are you serious?"

   "Yes I am, this is the first time I would actually be asking a girl out. And I must be really clueless at it," he said and laughed nervously trying to loosen his tie but he must have forgotten he dumped the tie in his office. And when he noticed his tie was gone he went right back to his second bad habit, running his hand through his hair.

    "That is a huge joke, you can't tell me you never had a girlfriend all your life," she said giving him a once over,  assessing his hot looks.

  "Get your fact right Ashley, I didn't say I never had a girlfriend just that I never asked a girl out," he said a little bit of his nervousness was gone by now, but she was more confused.

  "So you did have girlfriends?"

  "Yeah a few of them."

  "And you never asked a girl out," She said the one thing that had her confused.

   "I never had a reason to ask a girl out," Greg said smugly, all his nervousness gone by now.

    "Ohh and you had girlfriends, so you just went up to a random girl and claimed her as your girlfriend, or what?" She said giving him a look of utter confusion.

    "You must be really clueless Ashley..." He said giving her a frustrated look. "I never asked a girl out because they always do the asking."

   Ashley looked at him with utter bewilderment and assessed his looks again. She could understand those girls plight, who wouldn't want to be with a fine piece like him, she looked at his face and all she could see was ego. "So you just agree to date them."
