Oh my God I just want to lick his face! And his abs, and his entire body! Oh my God Laci shut the fuck up. Are you seeing what I'm seeing? I see a totally hot guy without a shirt on! This totally hot guy also called us fat. Oh yeah....."See something you like?" Ashley smirks.

His voice snaps me back to reality. "Huh what?"

He smiles and walks over to me. "Close your mouth sweetheart." He pushes my apparently open mouth closed. God what I wouldn't give to just fuck him right here, right now, on this couch. "Didn't your mama ever tell you not to stare?" He smirks.

"Sorry, she wasn't around long enough to teach me those life lessons." I say it with a bit of a snarl, but not enough to be totally noticeable.

For a moment I think I caught him off guard. His jaw clenches and he swallows. He recovers though and goes back to smirking at me. "Oh yeah... I forgot about that. So anyway. Are you excited for tonight?" Tonight is a big New Years Eve party at the club, and everyone, sadly including me, is going.

"Yeah I can't wait." I sigh.

"I'm guessing you don't want to go." His smirk fades.

Why is he being kind of nice to me? "No I want to go..." I lie.

"You know." He sits down in front of me on the coffee table. His legs surround mine, his knees touch my thighs. "You don't always have to put everyone before yourself." His face is completely serious. "It's okay to be selfish sometimes. If you don't want to go just tell us. We'd all understand.." He moves closer to me. "I mean you do so much for everyone." One of his hands wraps around my waist, and the other goes on my cheek. Our foreheads are touching now. "If you don't like something that someone is doing, you should tell them to stop." He presses his lips to mine, so softly I second guess if they are there. I gasp at his touch, and my heart rate picks up. Have I mentioned how much I want him? "Or if you want something you should just ask." He mumbles against my lips.

My heart is pounding like CC's drums. My stomach is turning itself inside out, and it's hard to breathe. I realize it's because of Ashley. He deepens the kiss, and I wrap my fingers into his hair. His tounge traces my bottom lip and I gasp. His tounge teases mine. He suddenly pulls away. I'm so confused.

"S'up?" CC asks. Great timing.

"Nothing man, we're just having a little chat." Ashley says nonchalantley.

"Oh cool." He's obviously oblivious to what just happened. Thank God. "So Ash, do you even own a shirt?"

"I do, I just prefer not wearing one." His eyes find mine. There's something in them that I can't place.

"Hey Babe." Kina smiles and sits on Ashley's lap.

"Hey." He smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes. How strange.
