In This Cruel World

She Has...A Boyfriend?

Joseph surprisingly approved of Michael going to Ashley's house. But then again, Joe and Ashley were always on good terms. Michael always wondered why but he was too afraid to ask. Michael would be afraid to ask Joseph, not Ashley. It never occurred him to ask Ashley until now. So Michael decided to ask Ashley when they meet later on today.
Michael woke up in the morning good as ever. He got dressed and put on cologne- to smell extra good for his soon to be lady Ashley. No girl could resist Michael. Michael is the chick magnet, he always has girls drooling over him. However, the only girl he wants is Ashley. That's his only wish- for Ashley to be his. Michael walked out of the door at 1:45 pm with confidence and a hint of being flirty.
Michael got to Ashley's house just in time.
Michael rang her doorbell, kind of nervous that sweat is building up inside of him. Ashley answered the door happily. She was wearing a pretty light pink blouse with a light blue pair of blue bell bottom jeans. Michael noticed that Ashley's hair is now straight, she has bangs, and she has a cute pink headband on her hair. 'Wow, Ashley is freaking hot!' Michael thought staring at her. "Um...Earth to Michael?" Ashley said waving her hand frantically in front of Michael's face. Michael snapped back to reality and said "Oh I'm sorry but I was just admiring the beauty in front of me." Ashley blushed and said "Would you please come inside?" "Sure my dear", Michael replied. Ashley welcomed him inside and Michael came inside and sat on a couch.
Ashley sat right beside him. Michael began to get nervous. He could tell that sweat was slowly building up inside of him. 'Say something Michael. Come on..' Michael thought anxiously. After a few silent moments, Michael blurted out, " SO HOW IS LIFE ASHLEY?" Ashley jumped at Michael's sudden outburst and fell on the floor. "Michael!" She said looking at him scared. "Sorry for scaring you Ash", Michael said helping her up onto the couch." Oh, life has been good. What about you?" Ashley replied. "Life has been good for me too", Michael says flashing her a cheeky smile. Ashley giggled. "Your smile is so cheeky it's funny!" She said poking Michael's cheeks. "Yeah it is. Ashley, I want to ask you something", Michael said facing Ashley. "What is it?" Ashley asked. "Do you have a-" Michael was saying before he got interrupted by the doorbell. "I'll go get it. Stay here" Ashley commanded Michael. Ashley went up and got the door.
Standing there was her boyfriend Grant. Cruel, vicious, overprotective, and repulsive Grant. "Hey baby, what are you doing here?" Ashley asked surprised at his visit. "Move" Grant said in a fierce tone. Ashley moved aside quickly for Grant to come in. "Ashley, come in the living room!" Grant said in a sort of furious tone. Ashley came in the living room playing her hands. "What is this prick Michael Jackson doing in your living room?" Grant said glaring at Michael. "There's nothing to worry about, Michael's my best friend" Ashley said. Grant got up to Ashley's face. "Are you lying to me babe?" Ashley looked in his fearful eyes and said "No". They looked each other in the eyes for a few moments. Finally, Grant said convinced "Alright then! I'm going to check back on you baby, see ya later!" Grant gave Ashley a peck on the lips and then left out the door. Michael just sat there heartbroken. 'Ashley has a boyfriend...and it's not me'.
