“I just don’t think, you know, I don’t think it would work out.”  Aiden was nervous.  Aiden is never nervous, unless…

“Hey Ash, Spence..”  A young brunette had approached the table.  “Hi Aiden.”  She smiled.  Aiden’s eyes lit up.  “Hey Kyla” Was all he managed to mutter.  ‘Ah, there it is. God, look at him.  Who the hell sweats like that…’  Kasey grinned at the sight of her cousin but was just as quickly snapped back to reality.

 “Kasey this is my step-sister Kyla. Ky, this is Aiden’s cousin from Canada, eh!”  Her nose scrunched up as she smiled, emphasizing the eh!.  Kasey quirked a brow in her direction.

“Hey Kasey, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”  KC extended her hand which Kyla graciously accepted.  “Pleasure’s all mine.”  She smiled as Ashley moved closer to her so her sister could sit.

“These cookies are awesome!”  Spencer took the final bite of her oversized snack; some of the chocolate had smudged itself on her cheek.  “Uh, Spence you have a little…”  Ashley reached across the table and wiped the spot clean, tenderly running her thumb across the blonde’s cheek.  Everyone glanced at the two of them.

“What?  She had chocolate on her face!”  Ashley stuck her tongue out as Spencer stood.  “Uh, yea I need another cookie.  Anyone want anything while I’m at the caf?”  She smiled, unfazed by what had happened.  Aiden squirmed a little as Kyla sat across from him.

“Yea Spence, I’ll go. I need some more, uh, of this…stuff..”  He tugged Spencer along toward the cafeteria before she could speak.  Ashley turned and followed the blonde’s swaying hips, her eyes bouncing with every step she took.  A smile had traced itself across her lips as she contently watched from afar.

“So when are you gonna ask her out?”  Kasey asked casually, smirking.

“Hm? Ask who out?”  Ashley looked back at the table, trying to think of a way to dodge the question.

“Davies, give us a little credit here.”  KC shook her head at Ashley’s feeble attempt to play dumb; entertained by the brunette’s tactics knowing she could do better.  Kyla poked her sister in the ribs and giggled.  “Yea Ash, when ARE you gonna ask her out?”  She asked playfully.
