Just an Ashley Love story

Christine’s POV

Even with all the hard work I put myself through the past few days, the week seemed to drag on. I did anything I could to get my mind off of meeting his friends. I was more nervous now, than I was meeting him at the café.

I busied myself with a new chopper design for a customer, training Man Man, my big lug of a horse for a show coming up next weekend, and looking into the band Black Veil Brides. Now I understand why the waitress at the café said their music saved her life. The meaning behind their songs and lyrics are so heartfelt and deep. I found I really like their band, and it quickly became a favorite.

I even watched some interviews, and read up a little on each member. They seem like cool people. Andy the lead singer is tall as hell, and if I’m not mistaken, the youngest of them all. CC, the Drummer seems like he needs to lay off the sugar, but has a sense of humor that anyone could love. Jinxx is the harmony guitarist, he seems very quiet and reserved. Jake, the lead guitarist seems to be a little geeky, kinda weird but in his own funny way.

And then there is Ash. I saw more of him in interviews and shows and pictures than I’ve seen in person. Quite the ladies’ man from what I’ve read, and the ladies he’s been with are nothing like me. Or to better describe it, I’m nothing like them. Kind of deterring, and the war I’m having with myself just seemed to get worse. He has FIDELITY tattooed across his fingers, it has to mean something.

The OUTLAW tattoo across is stomach has to be the sexiest thing I’ve seen in a while. There go my hormones again. And the vibrations from the Big Blue Bitch arent helping. Being a beautiful day, Angel and I decided to take the bikes out to Jake's house. BBB is the name I gave my bike, cuz she’s big, blue and was a bitch to get running right. But also one of my first builds so I didn’t have the heart to sell her. Angel was on her Harley, something I fixed for her. Her father gave it to her before she passed and it’s the only thing left she had from him. I fixed it up, got it running and painted it the original paint design on the bike. I gave it to her for her birthday as a surprise. But that’s another story.

We pull up to the house, and the tall one, umm, Andy, was sitting outside smoking a cigarette. He stood up when he saw us pull up to yell to everyone that we were here. Ashley Practically ran out the door and tackled me into a hug.

“Have I told you before that I think women riding bikes is sexy?”

“No, but I guess I’ll have to get used to it.”

“Yes you will.”

He kissed me hard, and I wrapped my arms around him. What is this man doing to me? I had almost forgot where we were when Angel cleared her throat a little over enthusiastically. I pulled away and looked at her, and she pointed behind Ash to the other 4 good looking men of the band standing there grinning stupidly.

Ash just blushed and laughed. He introduced us, and ushered us inside to meet the girls. So far, Ella, Jakes Fiancé, and Juliet, Andy’s “lady” as he calls her, were the only ones there. CC’s girl was at work and was coming later. And that left Jinxx, when I looked at him, he was smiling, shyly at Angel, and she blushed the most intense shade of red I’ve ever seen. I looked at Ash, and he already knew. He was smiling and said “I think that was a good idea”

“I think your right, I’ve never seen her look so shy. She needed a day off and to meet someone with potential, well you know.”

“Yeah, kinda like what we needed.” He smiled, big and cheesy, causing me to laugh.

We sat around having a few drinks, eating some wonderful food and laughing the night away with crazy stories from both sides of our worlds. Ashley never left my side and kept an arm, almost protectively, around my waist. “You know, I promise if you let go, I won’t run. Or disappear if that’s what your worried about,” I whispered, I made sure to get close enough that he could feel my breath on his ear and so I could rest my head into his. Can’t help it, I like seeing a guy react, and he did.

His eyes closed, took his bottom lip between his teeth and took a slow breath to center himself again. He turned to me, lust in his eyes, “I know you won’t run, or disappear. But I feel an overwhelming need to be close to you, to be touching you and I can’t help it.” He gave me a long kiss to seal his point. It was my turn to re-center myself.

The day ended and from what I could tell, they guys liked me and their girls did to. Valerie, CC's date, showed up late but seemed pretty cool. I surprised myself that I even got along with the 3 women, because that’s a rare occasion. Angel is the only woman I could ever see myself getting along with. Although, she’s been pre-occupied with Jinxx, they’ve been getting a bit cozy with each other. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve spoken to either of them all night.

We said our goodbyes, Ash reluctant to let me go, and vice versa. Jinxx and Angel tried to sneak a quick kiss, didn’t work, we all saw. It made me and Ash smile, and the rest of the guys ring up in cheer. Poor thing wasn’t gunna hear the end of it. Ash and Jinxx were walking us out the door, attempting to make plans to see each other again when boom. A freaking monsoon. Figures.

Angel and I rush out to get the covers out of the saddle bags, and get them on the bikes. Ash and Jinxx ran out to help. Running back into the house all I could say was “Oh shit, Angel, What the hell are we supposed to do now, there’s no way we can ride in this."
Jake had turned on the t.v. to the weather channel,"And by the looks of the forecast, its gunna last til late morning, early afternoon."

my thought escaped aloud, "just wonderful."

Jinxx looked at us, “Just stay here the night. You’ll be safe, and dry here, you don’t mind do you Jake?”

“Of course not, I don’t want you guys getting hurt out there, stay. We have plenty of room.”

Ashley eyes, as well as mine went WIDE. I knew I’d be sleeping next to him, he knew it too. It’s already so hard to control ourselves now, and now we have to sleep next to each other and try to control ourselves. This was going to be interesting, and a long night to boot.

I had to ask him, “Are you ok with this. I can sleep on the floor somewhere I’m ok with that. I don’t want things to…happen, too soon.”

“I’m fine and No you’re not sleeping on the floor. I would never let you do that. You’ll be next to me wrapped up in my arms where you belong. It may seem like we’re moving fast already sleeping next to each other but we’re adults and don’t actually have to let it go to far.”

He sounded like he was saying this more as a mantra to himself. To re-assure himself that he can behave. Only thing is, can I? I’m no innocent. Like I said earlier, I like to get a reaction out of a man. A simple gasp of breath, or moan all the way up to teasing man til he can’t control himself. And sometimes I don’t even realize I’m doing it. I must behave I must behave I must behave, repeat!
