Chapter 2: Obvious
"Hey Ashley," Justin said standing up.
"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.
"I don't know, I just came by to welcome you back to Florida, I really did miss you!" he told me giving me a hug.
I raised my eyebrows. But said nothing.
"Why don't you come in?" I unlocked the door for Justin and caught up with Brian.
"Ashley, why is he here?" Brian asked exasperated.
"You don't see my ex coming here and deciding to sit down for a chit chat." Brian said fuming.
"I told him, that if he was feeling down that he should call. Besides Brian, You're gonna be with me. So nothing will go wrong.." I said. He sighed.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked pouting. Brian, then, grumbled not anything close to words escaped his mouth.
"Are you mad? Hmm? You mad?" I asked him. Giving him a kiss on the nose.
"Is there any way I can get you from being mad at me?" I asked him giving him a small kiss on the cheek.
"Well..." Brian said.
"Well what?" I asked looking into those blue eyes.
"You could keep kissing me.." Brian said.
I was about to kiss him again, when I heard Justin. "Ashley... you coming?"
Brian sighed and I looked at him. "Please, don't be mad. He's only looking for a friend." I told him.
"Why can't he go to all of his other friends then?" Brian mumbled.
"Wow, Ashley this house is the bomb." Justin said looking around. He was talking about the re-decorating I had done.
"Here," I said handing him his sweater.
"What's this?" he asked puzzled.
"Your sweater. You left it here." I said.
"You can keep it." he said flashing me a beautiful smile. I heard Brian groan and I heard him go up the stairs.
"So what's up?" I asked him.
"Just feeling a bit down.. I kinda miss you. I wish things were back the way they used to be." Justin said sitting down.
"Well, I'm sure you will get over this. It's not like you to be sad. How about this: I will hook you up with some of my friends and hopefully you'll find a match with one of them?" I suggested.
"What if the only I match I find.. is the with you?" Justin said looking into my eyes.
"My friends will love you!" I told him standing up.
"Thanks Ashley," he said giving me a long hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"No problem," I told him I walked him to the door and he drove off.
"Brian?" I called out walking up the stairs.
"Brian?" I called again. I found him laying down in my room.
"Brian sweetie what's wrong?" I asked him.
"Take a wild guess..." Brian said sighing.
"Sweetie you know there's nothing going on..." I told him laying down right next to him.
"I Love you remember? Justin will have to understand that.." I told him giving him a kiss.
"I love you too, I just don't wanna lose you." Brian said.
"You won't.." I reassured him.
Brian got up and went to wash his face in the bathroom I just lay there looking at the ceiling, when he pinned my arms to the bed.
"Brian, what are you doing?" I said laughing.
He kissed me again. I kissed him back. Just as we were getting into it, the phone rang.
"Do I have best luck or what?" Brian said letting my arms go and getting off of me.
I gave him a kiss and got up to see who had called.
"Hello?" I said sighing.
"Hey Ashley! It's Justin." Justin said happily into the phone.
"Justin, hi, what are you calling for?" I asked bewildered.
"This is just great! I can't even get a kiss from my own girlfriend, without him calling." Brian said throwing his hands up in the air.
"Brian. Shh." I motioned for him to calm down.
"Well, you see, RCA is throwing this huge party, for all of the artists to attend, and I was wondering if you could accompany me?" Justin asked hopefully.
"Um, well. I need to talk that over with Brian. Hold on okay?" I asked him nicely.
"Sure," he said. I bit my lip.
"Brian, sweetie, do you know how much I love you?" I asked him sweetly.
"I know you Ashley. What do you want?" he asked me.
"Justin wants me to go to this party his label is holding." I told him giving him another kiss.
"What? You're even considering this? You don't see me going to Leighanne's parties.." Brian grumbled sitting on the bed.
"We can, and will go. Ok, please. nothing is going to happen." I said to him pleadingly.
"Fine." he said.
"Besides, it won't take long." I said planting a kiss then and there on his mouth.
"Alright." Brian said giving me a kiss back.
"Ashley? You there?" Justin said.
"Hold that thought." I said putting my index finger over Brian's thought.
"Pick me up at 8:00?" I told him.
"So, when is it?" I asked him.
"Tomorrow night at 8:30." Justin said excitedly.
"I'll be there." I told him.
Brian began kissing my leg. I nearly laughed out loud.
"Ok, Justin.. I gotta go." I said trying to hold back my fits of laugher.
"Ok, bye Ashley." he said.
"Bye," I said.
"Brian." I said laughing.
"Come here." I said grabbing his shirt and giving him another long kiss which lasted..... forever...
