M. L.:
When I got to the kitchen, I took a rootbeer from the six-pack of Barqs in the fridge and was about to make my way upstairs when the phone rang.
"Carter residence, Mary-Lynnette speaking."
"Hi honey."
"Oh hey dad. I didn't know you and Claudine had left again."
"Well we have a few more errands to run. I called to let you know that we're gonna catch a movie and then have dinner out so you and Mark are on your own for the evening."
"Alright, I'll order us a pizza or something."
"Ok, I'll see you later. Love you."
"Love you too dad. Bye." *click*
I'd just hung up the phone when it rang. Again.
Sigh. "Yeah?"
"Mary-Lynnette?"
"Yeah. Jade?"
"Hey, just wanted to let you know that we've got some visitors."
"Oh?
"Yeah. They came with Ash. Just a few friends of his from Circle Daybreak. Why don't you and Mark come down for dinner and you guys can meet?"
"Ok sure. So what are they like?"
"They're really nice. There's Ash's cousin James and his soulmate Poppy..." Jade proceeded to give me a list of everyone who was visiting with Ash along with a general description of how they looked and what they were like. Ash had mentioned them all in some of his letters so I kind of had a feel for what I should expect.
I said my goodbyes to Jade and headed back up to my room to get Ash's clothes so that I could put them in the wash. The last thing I needed was for him to be wandering around the house naked for an extended amount of time. As I opened the door to my room, I noticed that I couldn't hear the shower running.
"Ash," I said, surprise evident in my voice. "I was barely gone 20 minutes. Not even you could've washed all that mud off that fast." At least that's what I had planned to say. Walking into the room, I managed to say his name before the air left my lungs and the can of Barqs fell from my hands.
Ash was lying on my bed with a towel draped across his hips to cover his privates and nothing else.
Ooooooohh Ash naked, Mary-Lynnette in a bathrobe! And I ended this with an incredibly short and (most likely) unfulfilling chapter! Will Mary-Lynnette jump Ash and get herself some? Will Ash be a gentleman and "keep his hands to himself"? Will Damon's luv Bunny figure out how the hell to end this pointless and incredibly mushy fic? Or will it just run on, and on... and on, much like this lame assed A/N? Your guess is as good as mine. Either way, the lack of a plot is giving me some major writers block, so if you have any ideas, they'd be greatly appreciated. And as always, review. It helps with the inspiration.
