I found a gorgeous white sun dress for the wedding and a pair of white reef flip flops. Ashley is going to love the dress. It is a very simple dress. I didn’t want a lot. It has spaghetti straps and is about knee length. All in all the dress is airy and cool but most importantly comfortable. We also decided not to let the other one see each other dresses, so I took mine to Billy’s apartment to store until time.

We both have started our spring term in college. This is going to be my hardest semester by far. I had to take a bunch of my degree specific classes. If I would of realized how many different types of physiology classes I had to take for a degree in Social Service, I probably would have thought of something else.

I decided on this course of study because of my past. I figured if I can keep one other child from going through what I did. It would be worth it.

I haven’t heard that ring tone in years. Why is she calling me now.

"Hello"

"You’re going to pay for killing my husband!" Paula is really mad.

"I didn’t kill him. He tried to kill and kill himself in the process. It’s not my fault he was a dumb ass you didn’t wear a seatbelt." I shot back.

"You’re going to pay you little slut" she hung up before I could even defend myself.

I wonder how she even got my phone number in the first place. I wiped away a tear that escaped my eyes as I heard the front door opening. I will never cry over her again. Ashley appeared in the doorway looking adorable as ever.

"What’s wrong sweety" I guess she saw the tear.

"Paula just called me" I looked away. I didn’t want her know that I still wanted my mom even though she has hurt me over and over again.

"Are you okay? What did she want? Do I need to hire a hitman to take her out?" She engulfed me into a tight hug. I always feel so safe, loved, and warm in her arms.

"I’m fine. She um… blamed me for his death"

"What? Whose death?" Her face had a confused look until I swear I saw a light bulb go off over the top of her hear.

"Yeah" is all I could say to her in that moment.

"So um just called and yelled at you. We’ll get our numbers changed again" I smiled at her concern.

"Yeah. She um said I was going to pay" I didn’t say anything else. I’m not sure if I want to change my number again. It’s get annoying after awhile.

I pulled her in closer to me taking a deep breath memorize her scent. I swear I could pick out of a line up even if I was blindfolded just by smelling her hear. I laugh a little at that thought.

"What’s so funny?" She pulled back and looked at me.

"Nothing. I just really love the way you smell."

"Well I love the way you smell too." She leaned in and captured my lips with her’s.

We started out innocently kissing each other but before we knew it. We where in a full blown make out session. Our lips where bruised from kissing, sucking, and nipping each other. Our hands where roaming in some not so PG places on our bodies. I pulled back panting

"Ash baby"

"Umm" I guess her mind isn’t working right now.

"I want something to eat" I husked while staring her directly in the eyes.

"I’ll cook you something. What do you want?" She is really clueless sometimes. I shook my head and laughed.

"I don’t want food"

"Oh"

That was all it took. She stood up and pulled me with her into the bedroom. Once in the bedroom I pushed Ash down on the bed and laid on top of her covering my mouth with hers. I was not going to think about anything but my girl.

"I love you" is all I said before removing her clothes and claiming her body as mine.
