“Sorry, it was Glen.  What were you saying?” I ask Kyla.

“Oh…never mind. I’ll let you go give whatever to Glen.  I can just talk to you later about some stuff…and I totally want to go shopping! That way you can have some alone time to think about everything.” She says getting up.

“Okay, sounds good to me.  And don’t worry about the whole me and Ashley thing.  I’ll get over it sometime, just not sure when.” I say smiling lightly as we walk to the front door.

“Wait.  You aren’t going to pursue it?” She asks shocked.

“Nahh…I mean, I miss her, but if I’m just friends with her that’s all that matters.  Plus I would never want you to pick a side….but thanks for everything.” I say giving her a hug as she leaves to walk back over to her house.

After Kyla left I just brought Glen his shoes and we had lunch together because he had some down time.  He said he was sorry about not being able to go out on the town with me the next three nights because of the camp…he could tell I was super disappointed…not really.

When I came all I could think about was taking a nap.  I mean, I hadn’t really had a ton of sleep last night so I just went straight to my bedroom to sleep.  And my thinking could start later tonight…I just wanted some sleep now.

When I opened the door I was in complete shock.  There were rose pedals everywhere with Ashley sitting on my bed with a handful of freshly picked flowers…most likely from her garden because I could tell what the types of flowers were.  She just got up from my bed and slowly walked over to my door way where I stood in shock.  Yep…even more frozen then I was when I read her text earlier today. 

And she looked amazing too…that was definitely not helping my heart rate, at least I wasn’t tired anymore.  She wasn’t dressed up or anything, in fact, she most likely just woke up…it is only 2:30 after all.  But she was wearing nicely fitted jeans and one of her favorite band t-shirts with her hair in a messy bun…she still looked perfect.  I hadn’t seen her in over two weeks…I missed everything about her.

She came and stood about a half-foot away from me, handing me the flowers. “Hey.” Was all she said with a smile that was to die for. 

The only thing I could focus on were her lips, so I just repeated what she said to me, “Hey.” And as I took the flowers in my hand, when our hands touched shocks went through my body.  I was speechless…I guess my nap and alone time were being taken over with…but I was totally fine with spending all the time I could with Ashley.
