"So good matchmaking skills….you got there." Ashley says into her phone as she pulls the doors open to the freezer.
"No, the asshole wasn't there."
"No he never showed."
She was digging through the boxes of ice-cream, she didn't notice that someone was standing beside her.
"No …he stood me up."
"Yeah better luck next time cupid." she laughs, as she hangs up her phone. She grabs another box of ice-cream, and turns towards her cart.
"Oh shit…you scared me." Ashely says covering her face hiding her embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, never meant to do that." Ashley knew that voice, she had heard that southern accent many times. She knew exactly who it was before she even looked up.
"Oh my God." she says looking at the man that she has had a crush on, since she had seen him on "The Boondock Saints." movie.
"Oh no, the names Sean." He laughs extending his hand out to her.
"Yeah, I know." She grins taking his hand into hers.
"And just so you know, that guys crazy as hell standing you up."
"Well thank you."
"He really missed out, not seeing you in that dress."
"Well I'm glad somebody likes me in this dress." She says pulling at the black dress she had on, it was nothing special just a little black dress, she had hanging in her closet.
"I think you look very good in that dress."
"Thanks."
"Well, better not take up too much of your time, don't want your ice-cream to melt."
"Ah….no it's okay."
"But before you go I know you may not want anything to do with men right now, but…um… is it okay if I ask you for your number?"
Ashley didn't know what to think about this, really was Sean Patrick Flanery asking for her number.
"Sorry…it's just you have really good taste in ice-cream, wanted to see what else you had good taste in."
"I do got pretty good taste in ice-cream …..and you did compliment my dress….so yeah you can have my number.
The two exchange numbers, Ashley switches out her ice-cream …..it had already started melting. As she is finishing her shopping, her phone rings, taking it out of her pockets …she sees that it's Sean.
"Hello"
"Okay….so you gave me the right number….just wanted to make sure" she could hear him laughing.
"Yep, sure did ….does that happen a lot to you" she teases.
"No …but you never know" he answers "Well since I know it's your real number, I'll let you go"
"Bye then"
"Bye"
For the next few weeks they had talked and texted a lot….she was so shocked how easy it was to talk to him, it was like they had known each other forever. She really enjoyed talking to him, and it seemed like he enjoyed talking to her…..they had actually ventured into the skype which was happening more and more.
She was cooking, herself some dinner when she heard the sound of her skype go off on her computer, and she walks into the living room picking her computer up off the coffee table carrying into the kitchen.
Seeing Sean's name on the screen makes a smile come across her face…..she hurries and pushes the talk button
"Hey"
"Hey there beautiful" this was something new to that he had started the whole pet name thing ….she wasn't complaining.
"How have you been" he ask, she can see that he is laying in his bed …..yes the very same bed all those bedhead pictures are in front of.
"I'm great cooking me some dinner" she answers moving the screen so she could see him better.
"I miss home cooked meals" he says running his fingers through his hair.
"Ah come you can't cook" she giggles walking back to the stove turning the computer towards the stove.
"Not so much…but I am pretty good with my hands at other things" she turns towards the computer, and shakes her head.
"Naughty boy" she laughs
"I mean …..Im good at making reservations" he grins.
"Yeah ….I bet that's what you meant" she said sitting down in front of the computer.
"That's exactly ….what I meant" that grin on his face she could tell he was up to something.
"What?" she ask
"Well …..I'm going to be out that way next week….and I have made some reservations"
"Oh yeah" she couldn't believe her ears …..was she going to go on a date with Sean Patrick Flanery.
"Yeah I was thinking we could meet up …..maybe I can send a car or something" he answered.
"You know what …..yeah that sounds nice" she said.
"Sounds like a date…Ill email you the information"
"Sounds good"
"See you then beautiful"
"Looking forward to it" she answered.
Shutting her computer down she couldn't believe that she was going on a date with him, she had been talking to him but she never really thought that it would ever lead to a date….she was excited.
She finishes her dinner and gets ready for bed, before she gets into bed she checks her email and there it is the email from Sean telling her that he will send it car Friday night to pick her up and to take her to the restaurant that he had picked. And with a laugh she reads the PS: Wear that little black dress… I can't wait to see you again.
That night she had some wonderful dreams…..maybe a bit naughty after seeing him lying in that bed of his.
It was finally Friday night….she had been too excited about this night she had waited all week for this.
As she is putting on the little black dress that he had ask her to wear she hears her phone go off. It was Sean ….he must be calling to make sure she would come.
"Hi"
"Hey there beautiful"
"Hey there handsome"
"Wow I get a handsome …..you must really like this restaurant we are going too" he chuckles
"No…..I would call you handsome even if it was McDonalds we were going to" she laughs as she stepped into her heels.
"Well good thing…next date …McDonalds it is" he laughs
"Next date…huh?"
"Yeah three, four, five dates"
She is laughing as she walks down her stairs…..she hears her door bell go off.
"I think my cars here."
She opens her door and her face turns blood red as she sees the biggest limo she had ever seen.
"Really Sean …..the biggest car they had"
"I'm glad that size impresses you" he chuckles
"Oh My God…that mouth of yours"
"Well I will see you in a bit" she says walking out towards the car.
"Can't wait"
She hangs up the phone as she slides into the car, it's still hard for her to believe that this was actually happening, her mind can't keep from thinking about the three, four, five date comment.
She pulled up to the restaurant ….and there he was standing outside the restaurant waiting for her. He notices the car, walking over the door and opening it up for her he giver he his hand to help her out of the car.
"Such a gentlemen"
"Momma raised me right" that thick southern accent, making her weak in her knees.
They walk into the restaurant, the maître d' showed them to their table, Sean's hand gently placed on the small part of her back as they make their way to their table. He pulls her seat out for her when they get to their table. The waitress, made her way over, took their drink orders, and also flirted a bit with Sean before leaving them.
"So how was your week?" Sean ask
"It was good…got some work done…how about yours?"
"That's all I get ….got some work done" he ask the smile on his face puts her to ease.
"Hmmm, well I had a big project at work that I finally finished, it was kind of hard my mind was distracted but ….other things" she said a smirk on her face. "How about you how was your week?"
"My week was slow …..waiting for this date" he answered.
"Really that's all I get" she mimics him.
"Well I, got some scripts, um I talked to a very beautiful woman, um hung out with donut, and I got scheduled to do a Comic Con"
The waitress, had made it back with their drinks…and brought back even more flirting for Sean.
They talked, and ate, and laughed for hours, they were enjoying each other's company. Ashley was having a wonderful time, and she was pretty sure Sean was having a wonderful time as well. She couldn't believe that her feelings for him was already this strong…she had never felt this for anyone this fast but they just seem to fit…it was easy ….it was fun….he was perfect.
They finish their food ….which at this point had gotten cold because they was too busy talking to eat.
"So it looks like they are gonna kill us if we don't get out of here" she laughs looking around noticing that they were the only ones left at the restaurant.
"Yeah ….we better go" he said as he waves for the check.
Sean pays the check and they walk out of the restaurant, once again his hand on the lower part of her back ….his light touch gave her goose bumps and made her happy, and excited.
They are standing outside the restaurant, talking some more as the car, pulls around to pick her up.
"So that second date …..which McDonalds do you wanna go to" he says wrapping his arms around her waist.
"How about …I cook you something…..you know since you have not had a good home cooked meal in a while" she says looking up at him.
"That sounds amazing" he says his hands on either side of her face.
He leans down and their lips meet …..she can feel this kiss all the way down to her feet.
"I may cook you dessert too…for that kiss" she says with a grin on her face.
He starts laughing as he pulls her into a hug, he walks her over to the car, opens the door for her before kissing her again.
"I'll call you ….we can figure out a date"
"How about Sunday …I'm gonna be in town for a while"
"Perfect" she says
He leans in the window and kisses her again before walking to his car.
As Sean starts his car he picks up his phone,
"Hey Reeusstein … I know you're a sleep but I wanted to tell you that I'm in love…she's amazing …she's perfect."
He hangs up his phone, and puts it's in the console.
