Ashley nodded softly letting go of Jeff for a moment. "That sounds like the best thing Ive heard all day" she accepted and smiled softly, anything to take her mind off of Matt was just fine with her. Jeff smiled and shrugged himself of his bad mood, even though he had just lost his girlfriend of nine years he seemed to move past it alittle at his own pace and not one to be sad most of the time this was his way of doing so.
"Alright, let me get my stuff and we'll head out Ash." the charismatic one offered before bouncing off in direction of the lockerrooms. Ashley could do nothing but smile and shake her head alittle as she watched him. Fellow Diva Maria saw her friends smile and she walked over to the punk princess with a curious smirk on her lips. "Someone seems to be happy already, Ash, whats going on with you and Jeff?" she asked playfully.
Ashleys attention was still on Jeff even though he was long gone. He always made her smile and she thought she heard someones voice, snapping back into reality she noticed Maria. "Huh? What?" she asked totally surprised and dumbfounded. Maria laughed alittle and looked at her best friend "I asked whats going on with you and Jeff, didnt you just break up with Matt?" "Nothing is going on with me and Jeff Maria, were just friends. And technically Matt broke up with me" Ashley stated dryly, she really hated when the conversation turned to Matt. Looking at her watch she smiled "Thank god for time" she thought to herself before smiling and taking Marias hands in her own "Ria I have to go, dont think too hard about what you saw, were friends nothing more" and with that she left the red head walking away. Maria just shook her head lightly.
Jeff had waited for Ashley next to his car, and as she walked out the door he smiled but was in the middle of another phone conversation, this time with his brother trying to explain the whole Beth situation. "Look man, I know if I wouldve done something that I couldve saved us, drop it Matt!" he yelled into the reciever and slammed the phone shut. Ashley shook her head, knowing how stubborn Matt was. She looked at Jeff "He wont leave you alone?" she asked softly. Jeff jumped alittle as he hadnt seen her come out of the arena. "Yeah, but itll be fine, now lets go eat" he offered with a sincere smile, walking around and opened the door for her. "Why thank you kind sir." Ashley joked as she got seated in the seat, after Jeff had shut the door he made his way to the drivers side, hopping in and starting the car. "Where to madam?" he asked in a mock french accent as he reversed the car and headed out of the parkinglot.
