08 - deltanudaughter - ...date?

[smartemployee]

So after this happens...

Ashley has no idea why he's doing this. Part of him says, "Why not? You've already been on a trip to the mall and a sit-down for coffee." and the other part of him is screaming, "You fucking idiot - you're going to mess this up! What about Linda? Don't start forgetting about her already, asshole! You loved her!"

But he's already kissed her. And she's kissed him back.

He was going to invite her back to his plate... the typical macho man thing. But he remembered "his place" was absolutely trashed the last time he checked. Definitely not the place for a little princess like her. And hotels were completely out of the question - firstly, due to his lack of a paycheck, and secondly, because that doesn't sound nice at all.

When all else fails? Hop in the Classic. Head over to the Pontiac for a movie. You never even have to leave the car.

(Don't worry, Elle. All the shit from his car? Is in the trunk. There's room for you.)

"How's this for a disturbance?" she says. She then immediately begins to tickle Ash's side.

Ash squeals.

But only for a second. Because he's got manly street cred to uphold.

"Hey! Hey - - HEY STOP!" He tries to squirm his way out of it, laughing loudly. "Stopstopstopstop!"

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

Elle doesn't let up though, her hands moving over to his stomach. "Make me," she says through her giggling.

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

"You - you really - - don't wa-want me to do that!" he replies, gritting his teeth to try and stop his laughter. He grabs one of her wrists with his good hand.

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

It doesn't stop Elle though. She still keeps trying with her one free hand. "You surrender then?"

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

See - this isn't a fair fight. She's messing with a guy who only has one hand left. That's not fair at all.

So Ash has no choice but to forfeit. Even though at this point he's trying to squirm himself over to the driver-side door (without slamming into the steering column and huting himself in the process). "Fine fine! Whatever - you win! Just - quit - the ticklin'!"

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

Elle stops and gives Ash a very mischievous grin. "Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'll let you win next time."

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't have done that, Elle. Let your guard down even for one second and there goes Ash, attacking you with whatever tickles he can manage.

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

It's Elle's turn to giggle and squirm in her seat now. "Hahaha...o-okay! Stop it! Hahahhahahha!"

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

Ash stops only for a moment. "What's the magic word?" he asks, not really knowing the irony of the question at this moment in time.

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

"Pleeease?" she asks, still giggling.

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

He gives a shrug of his shoulders, thinking about it for a minute. "Eh - works for me. You did the little whine thing - extra points. Very nice." That deserves a kiss. Stay still, Elle - he's gone in for the kill.

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

Oh, she's not going anywhere Ash. In fact, she might just be grabbing onto his collar right now.

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

This is working out in his favor. He makes a small noise of approval at the hand on his collar. And then he practically pushes her over while trying to deepen the kiss.

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

Elle is slightly caught by surprise with that push, but quickly responds with her arms around his neck and a slip of the tongue.

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

Ashinova like.

He'll just be continuing the kiss now, occasionally breaking away for a bit of breath and a playful nip to her bottom lip.

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

Elle lets out a small moan as she kisses him. The nip catches her by surprise, but it doesn't bother her too much.

She then moves one of her arms and begins to feel around Ash's chest.

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

When Ash finally decides to leave her mouth and leave kisses along her jaw and the crook of her neck, he stops to mutter in her ear. "Babe - exactly how far d'you want to take this?" He gently nips at her earlobe. "Lemme know now."

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

Elle gasps at the nips on her earlobe. "Not too hard," she warns.

She runs her fingers through Ash's hair. "I don't mind going all the way. But what about you? You sure about this?"

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

She doesn't mind? She doesn't mind? Yeah - like that's going to do wonders for his self-control. He's still smack dab in the middle of a personal/moral/my-girlfriend-just-died dilemma.

But he really likes her - or thinks he likes her. And she's pretty hot. And she smells nice. And he likes the feeling of her hands in his hair.

With a small groan, he rests his face in the crook of her neck while deliberating.

"Why the hell not," he mutters a few awkwardly silent moments later.

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

Well, she's not exactly going to scream 'Take me now!'. She's got her own personal dilemmas she's dealing with.

She likes him too though and doesn't want to screw it all up.

"You sure?" she asks again, quietly. She doesn't want to sound too matronly, but she doesn't want to pressure either.

[smartemployee.livejournal.com]

Hey - but this is Ashley J. Williams we're talking about here. After five minutes? She just might be screaming something. (See what I did there.)

"Yeah, yeah," he replies, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm sure." He thinks. Don't give him time to second-guess himself.

[deltanudaughter.livejournal.com]

"Okay," she says, turning his head toward her and putting another kiss on his lips. Now or never...
