Surprises

Chapter 1: One Year Ago

Ashlyn's POV

"Why not Justin?" I whined, following Justin into the living room.

"Because I need you to babysit Harper, and your 19, you're not going anywhere." Justin glares at me.

"You never let me have any fun!" I pouted. I wanted to go to a party where no one knew me. There was a Bonfire tonight and Riley invited me, but his friend was really cute, he had short blonde hair and blue eyes. He was tall and that's all I knew about him. Oh! And his name was Noah.

Justin went over the same rules as he and his wife, Kate, went out for a date.

"Ashlyn! Are you even listening?" Justin was mad and I didn't care. Kate whispered something to him and came over.

"Look, I know you're 19, but please just for this one night?" She asks softly. I hesitated for a minute, "dont worry, I've got someone else coming." She winks, putting her finger to her lips. I smiled, but then realized I was giving it away.

"Ok. I'll do it." I said, pretending like I was devastated. Justin gave me a sympathy look, thinking I wasn't paying attention.

"Goodluck." Justin says, taking his wife's hand and leaving me and 9 year old Harper alone in his house.
***************************************
I was leaning against someone's Toyota truck drinking water out of a solo cup talking to Riley. I wasn't one to drink underage. Justin made me promise and I never break promises to my brother, or anyone for that matter. Except babysitting Harper wasn't a promise. It was an order. Justin still hasn't figured it out, Kate has.

A short blonde walked by giving Riley "the look".

"You see that?" He asks.

"Yep." Usually Riley leaves me to go and get himself a girlfriend for the next 24 to 48 hours.

"Gotta go!" Riley says and walks after her. I shook my head and took a drink.

"A little underage to be drinking, aren't you?" I heard that sweet sexy voice I've been wanting to hear for the past 4 days. I turned my head and looked right at Noah, who had his head tilted to the side.

"Relax. Its water." I rolled my eyes smiling.

"I'm glad you came tonight." Noah hooks his fingers in the belt loops of my shorts.

"Me too." I smiles up at him as he closed the gap in between our bodies.

"I've been waiting to see you again the past few days." Noah begins placing small kisses on my neck. "I've been waiting to fuck you so hard." That alone was my undoing. Ever since I met Noah, he's all I've been thinking about. One thing led to another, me and Noah blindly stumbling through the cabin into a random bedroom.
***************************************
"I gotta get back before my brother does." I said against Noah's lips as we were about to go for round number two. This was just another one night stand, I'm not even sure that's what you would call this a one night stand. Noah was really really good, he knew what he was doing. But we were both just looking for some kind of release right now. We took what we wanted and that was the end of it. No questions asked.

 Except I was one to get attached way to easily. Four days isn't a long time, but when you feel that connection with someone, it feels like a long time. I drove home in tears and I knew I would have to tell Kate how it went. A conversation I wanted to avoid if possible. I made it home before Justin and Kate, released the babysitter, and sat on the couch with Harper. I knew she wouldn't tell Justin about me sneaking off, she didn't really care. She was my niece, and we didn't have a close relationship even though we lived in the same house. Justin and Kate walked through the door and I tuned them out, not even wanting them to acknowledge me.

"How was she?" Justin asks.

"She did great. Being as yall are home now, I'm gonna go to bed." I said and closed the door to the basement stairs.
***************************************

"Ashlyn?" A soft voice says from my left. I opened my eyes and there was Kate, sitting a few feet away. "I remember what happened to Justin." She giggles. I smiled, remembering the time Justin came to wake me up, he scared the shit out of me and I punched him in the face. Broke his nose. "Tell me all about last night." She says, sitting on the bed. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, suddenly remembering what happened and began crying again. I explained everything that happened and stopped crying.

"You are just like Justin." She chuckles. I couldn't believe she was chuckling at how I feel. "He gets attached very quick. But honey, that's okay. That jut means you have a big heart." Her words weren't very comforting. "What do we always say when you get over a boy?" She asks.

"Boy's ain't shit." I mumbled. 

"That's right. Now get dressed, you, me, and Harper are going out for breakfast this morning. Justin's already left for his team meeting." She says. I smiled, hoping we were going to my favorite breakfast place; and we were.

A little short, I know. But this gives the whole setting basically. Ashlyn never fully gets over Noah, and doesn't know it's Noah Gragson. Just like he doesn't know she's Ashlyn Allgaier. Hopefully you enjoyed this, sorry it doesn't make too much sense, I'll come back and edit it, I do that with a lot of my stories.
