*A Week Later*
Ronnie's P.O.V
Ashley,
Her soft black hair, it fell like a waterfall down her shoulders, and reached until her lower back. Her soft gray eyes, her flowing eyelashes, she was truly breathtaking. She was the kind of beauty that was admired by few and envied by many. She was perfect, with her heart-shaped lips, her curvy body, and her long legs. She was the definition of lovely. Every day, I learned more about her. Every day, I'd get a little closer. Every day, I liked her even more than the day before. She caught me staring at her across the room and smiled sweetly. I smiled back. She was my muse, the source of my inspiration. I just hoped she felt the same way. I was thinking of ways to find out, to see if she liked me as well or not. It really seemed like it, though. She liked being around me, she liked conversing with me, I could just tell. I didn't want to seem too interested though, that would be creepy. I just needed her to know I wanted her. On the other hand, sometimes she seemed distant. Her glimpses were unusual, her smile was a surprise. She showed little emotion at times. But then the blush crept up on her, she'd look down as the emotions ran up her face. I just wanted to reach out, and feel the texture of her skin, as the green veins ran down her wrists. I wanted to entwine my fingers with hers; I wanted to hold her close to me. I imagined her touch, her lips, and the sound of her heartbeat. I wanted to know she was real. I needed her, and she'd know it soon. But for now, I just stared at her across the room. Her bangs fell on her face, softly.
Max - So, Ronnie... still lovesick?
Me - Ha, no, I'm not lovesick.
Max - Oh. Still obsessed?
I laughed.
Max - When are you going to make your move?
Me - Soon.
Max - How soon?
Me - Soon, bro.
Max - Right…
Me - How are you and Jaimee getting along..?
He smiled hugely.
Max - Aha, pretty great, I think she has somewhat of an idea that I want to get with her.
Me - Hahaha, get with her? Is that the new way of saying you want to fuck her?
Max - No, man. This one's different. I want to actually be with her, she makes me feel like no other.
Me - Yeah, see? That's how I feel about Ashley.
Max - Then you should tell her. Like now.
Me - Now? No...
Max - Just do it, Ronnie. I mean if you like her this much, you might as well say something. Would you rather be holding her or staring at her from across a fucking room?
Me - I don't know... I just can say anything right now.
Max - Do you know how easy this shit is? You just gotten fucking walk over there and ask her out. You know she'll say yeah, bro.
I stood up. I had to do it, now or never. Fucking Max made me do this shit.
I walked towards her. She sat alone doodling on a piece of paper. I sat next to her.
Ash - Hey, Ronnie.
She smiled sweetly.
Me - Hey, what are you doing?
Ash - Ha, not much, just kind of sitting here.
Me - Haha, yeah? Well, hey, I got something to ask you.
Ashley looked at me suddenly, her pupils grew large as she stared at me intently, waiting for my next words.
Me - I've only known you for a week or so... but I think you're really chill, and maybe you'd like to go out with me sometime.
She smiled, and a sigh of relief fell over me. There, it was out in the open now.
Ash - Well, that's not a question, but yeah, I would like to go out sometime (:
She had said yes... Wow.
Me - That's really cool, I didn't think you'd say yes.
Ash - Haha, really? Why..? I really like you, and I think you're rea-
The last bell rang loudly, interrupting her.
Ash - Fuck, I need to go. But here's my number, don't loose it.
She wrote her name down on my hand.
Ash - Text me or something, Kay? Bye.
She kissed my cheek softly, and walked rapidly out of the crowded doorway. I sat there, astonished.
Max walked up to me and handed me my stuff.
Max - Haha, I saw that shit! She totally digs your shit, bro.
I chuckled at his form of language.
Me - Yeah, dude, I got her number.
Max - Fuck yeah, that's the shit.
Me - Yeah, so stop talking like that, alright?
Max - Why? You're not digging this shit? Not digging my shitty ass slang?
Me - No, I'm not digging that shit.
Max - You mad bro?
We walked out of the classroom, laughing our asses off.
