"Okay ….well I'm glad you're happy, can't wait to meet her but sounds like you need to get ready for dinner…love ya brother"

"Yea….Love ya Reedustein"

Sean hangs up the phone, still trying to decide what he wanted to wear …..finally decided on just jeans and t-shirt it was just going to be casual she told him in the text.

Ashley

"So Sean the guy from all those movies you love much"

"Yes ….he's coming here tonight I'm cooking him dinner"

"Where the hell did you meet him"

"At the grocery store that night your matchmaking skills got me stood up"

"What, did you just ask to cook him dinner"

"No he ask me for my number ….since then we have talked everyday….he took me out to dinner Friday, I'm cooking him dinner tonight"

"That's a bit fast don't you think"

"Yeah it's a bit fast …but it feels like I have known him forever"

"So is he as sexy as he is on tv"

"So much sexier in real life"

"And that accent makes my heart melt"

"Yeah I bet that's all it does"

"Oh hush …hey I need to go finish dinner he will be here soon"

"Bye…have fun"

"Bye "

Ashely hung up her phone, walking out to her back patio, she checks the steaks on the grill making sure they were not burning. Taking them off the grill they looked perfect, she was excited about this date about being able to cook for him. She hurried into the kitchen checking the rest of the food making sure everything was cooked and ready for when he got there. After checking on all the food she heads off, to her bedroom to get dressed, she had told Sean that it would just be a casual thing so she threw on a cute little sun dress, and some flats threw her hair up in a ponytail.

She had texted him her address last night she was hoping that he didn't get lost ….her worries gone when she heard a knock at the door. She practically runs to the door, he hadn't got lost and he had found a bottle of wine and some flowers.

"Hi there handsome"

"Back at ya"

She takes the flowers and wine setting them both on the table beside the door …..they could wait she had to feel those lips again. She stands on her tiptoes her lips meeting his, his arms around her waist pulling her as close as he could possibly get her.

"It smells great"

"Thanks"

She steps out of his arms, picking up the flowers and wine walking them to the kitchen, he follows her into the kitchen. She looks around and finds a vase for her flowers and sitting the wine on the table.

"So what are we having" Sean ask looking into the pots and pans on the stove.

"Well, we have steak, asparagus, in a butter sauce, um …..smashed red potatoes, and for dessert we are having chocolate lave cake…..sound good to you"

"Hell yeah …..it sounds great…can I help you set the table"

"No I got it …..this is my date remember sit down I'll get it ….well you can open the wine, there is a opener in the drawer there" Ashley answers.

Ashley sets the table, and finds some wine glasses, setting them on the table, she hands him over the food to set on the table as she, checks on her cakes.

"I hope it's as good as it smells" Ashely says sitting down beside him.

"Hell if it taste half as good as it smells then we are in for one hell of a dinner" Sean answers pouring her some wine.

They eat and talk just like they had done on their first date, and once again their food got cold, neither of them could get enough of each other.

"So how long have you lived here"

"About 3 years, moved here after I graduated college."

"So you like it here?"

"Ah yeah…well I love my job but sometimes it gets a bit boring"

The bottle was empty, and the second one opened their conversation flowing, like they had known each other their whole lives.

"So I got a confession to make"

"Oh yeah, and what would that be"

"I may have told my brother, about you"

"Only good things I hope" Ashley snickered

"There is no bad things to tell about you darlin"

"Such a charmer, so what did you tell him"

"Well I told him how smart you are, and how funny you are,…and how sexy you are"

Sean is up out of his seat pulling her up to him.

"You are a charmer"

Ashley wraps her arms around him.

"So what did he say to all of that?"

Sean does not answer, instead he leans down pulling her into a kiss, this time his tongue is intertwined with his, her knees grow weak, she is thankful he is holding her so tight or she would have hit the floor. His hands travel down to her hips pulling her to him once again a close as he could possible get her. Finally they break the kiss, leaving them both breathless, and a little hot and bothered.

"So do I get a tour of your place?"

"Hmmmm if you can be a good boy"

"Scouts honor"

Ashley laughs as she takes him by the hand leading him to the living room.

"My living room." She laughs ….."You know if you can't tell"

They walk up the stairs.

"My office"

"This is my favorite room in my house. My art room slash studio." Ashley says walking him into the room her art scattered all over the room.

"Damn these are amazing, Reedus would love these."

"Well thank you, I like to paint and draw, keep me sane" she chuckles

"Yea my brothers the same way …well not the drawing so much but he paints and does photography and stuff like that"

"You ready for the rest of the tour?"

She grabs his hand again taking him out of the room.

"And the last room ….my bedroom"

"My favorite room …you know besides the kitchen" Sean smirks his hands are on her hips pulling her towards him.

"I thought you said you was gonna be good"

"I am" Sean groans his lips on her neck, his hands wandering."

"Sean…..I think its still a bit too early for this" Ashley says, she knows that is she didn't stop him she would not be able to control herself.

"Your right …I'm sorry beautiful" Sean says looking down at her. He didn't want to rush anything with this woman he didn't want to ruin this.

"Thank you" Ashley says looking up at him.

They walk out of the bedroom her hand in his.

"So how did you like dinner?"

"The best food I have had in a very long time, can't wait for more"

"Okay I hate doing this but I have to go, I have a plane to catch"

"Okay" Ashley pouts not wanting to let go of him.

"I'll call you as soon as I land I promise" Sean says kissing her forehead.

"You better I'll be waiting."

She reluctantly lets go of him and watches him walk to his car.

As she watches him drive away, she knows that, that this was probably the last time she was going to see him, she hadn't given him what he wanted. She was worried she had lost him, she walks back into the house, tears in her eyes.

Sean

As soon as Sean pulls out of her driveway, he picks up his phone dialing Norman's number of course he gets his voicemail …it was very late where he was so Sean leaves him a message.

"Hey brother just wanted to let you know she can cook, and she's an artist …you would really like her art, and that we need to get together when I get up there, I'll call again at a decent hour. See you soon, Reedusstein"
