SING:

Love ain´t no Crime!

Chapter 10: This means war/ The Challenge

Johnny´s Pov:

I´m not a violent guy, not at all, yet I have learned how to win my battles, violent or not, by the best I could learn, by my father.

I´m not one to get easily provoked, as long as it is myself who gets offended.

On the other hand, I am one who would take the side of my friend and fight until the end for his or her right.

And I am definitely that type of man, who would not let it slip when someone offends my family.

I never thought that I would ever meet that Lance-guy in my life, after all what he had done to Ash, I couldn´t imagine myself where, when and how I would ever meet him and what I would do if it ever comes so far.

I just didn´t know what my reaction might be, I had been quite uncertain there and I kept thinking about it a lot, even before Ash and I had decided to go out with each other.

However there was one fact which shocked me, even more than to see that wretched guy standing now right before me, and that was the amount of people it needed to restrain myself from beating this scum, this piece of garbage, to a pulp.

Head-butting him right in his face, was not nearly as fulfilling and satisfying as it should have been, it just wasn´t enough for him to pay for his crime of hurting Ash and offending my family, my friends from the theater.

I wanted to break his bones, feel his flesh underneath my hands when I maltreated it with my punches, feeling the pain which shakes through my brain and the sensation of ripped skin on my hands, while I brought him torment.

A thought which made me being afraid of my own self.

"Johnny please stop, any more of that and we will have to call the police, please I beg of you, stop!" Heather stated aloud in desperation as she, Ash and her Father, the shop-owner called Franky, had to restrain me, after I jumped up and tried to punch that scumbag straight into the face, only managing to hit him headfirst and sending him flying.

"Please Johnny stop it, that piece of s**t isn´t worth it.

He cannot hurt me any longer, so please I beg you, calm down.

I don't want you to suffer just because of him!" Ash stated as she had practically jumped up on me, to making me look into her eyes, although they constantly wandered off to my target.

This damned piece of the lowest possible garbage, which laid right in front of me on the ground, glaring at me, while being nursed by his girlfriend who looked at me with outmost hatred.

If it weren't for those damn spoken words of him, it might not have escalated so quickly.

"These words..., they make me want to break his neck!" I thought in rage, as I remembered back at them.

Flashback:

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Ashley Simons, didn´t knew you would still go to a place like this..., now that you are a wannabe superstar..., oh and look..., a new boyfriend she got as well..., well isn´t that nice!" A voice stated behind us, as Ash was kissing me.

Of course she instantly froze, and even though I only heard this voice once, which I can barely remember, I do only know one single person who would know Ash´s true name, a name not even I knew before, nor anyone else of the Moon-theater-crew..., well maybe only Buster, after all he called her that way, how much does he know about her, what we don´t?

"Lance...!?" Ash stated, paling as white as a sheet as she looked behind me.

"Hello there..., Ash!" Lance replied.

"Hey you..., you still have to give me back my Sunglasses, the heart shaped pink ones..., and god beware if you don´t have them!" Another voice mixed in, a female one, speaking with annoyance.

"Well if it isn´t the woman of your life, isn´t it Lance..., heart-shaped pink Sunglasses you say..., I think I once possessed some of those ugly things, I think I gave them to a fan, at least I know I threw them in the crowd..., not sure if someone caught them or not, not that I care!" Ash stated with a sly smile, maybe even a little arrogant, but at least I knew where she was coming from.

"What did you say, I hope I heard wrong, you did not just said that you threw them away, did you?!" the voice stated and as tempting as it was to turn around and get myself a picture of these guys, I was afraid of what I would do if I did.

"Indeed I did missy, why would I want such garbage anyways?!" Ash asked and she might go a little overboard, not that I was going to stop her any soon I guess, I think she at least was able to talk everything off her chest right now.

"Why did you do that?!" The voice asked in disbelieve.

"You took my Man, I took your sunglasses, I would say it´s an equal exchange, don´t you think so darling?!" Ash answered with an uncaring look at them.

"Why would I even want to hold on to them, I threw them away after I wore them for a short while..., just the same way as I was thrown away after 4 years of being together with that douchebag.

If my love for him was not worth enough for him to keep, then I have no reason to keep the sunglasses of the woman, which whom my Ex cheated on me, it´s only logical sweety, that I would make them disappear, either they are lying in the garbage or someone else is wearing them, not that I care.

If someone caught them than you could say that they just changed the owner, just like Lance changed the woman!" Ash stated putting up a brave mask, of uncaring and rage-induced resolve.

"Dammit, I want my sunglasses back!" The other Woman stated.

"Who cares about them..., basically you are saying I am worth no more than some freaking sunglasses, just who do you think you are B***h!" Lance stated and I had as well as enough, I massively restrained myself to turn around and punch him straigt to hell, as I raised my own voice above all of them, with a force I never before used.

"Apologize right now, a**hole!" I stated with hard and loud voice, nearly shouting above all the voices raised.

"Huh, why should I, who are you even, her new Loverboy..., you don´t look much like you are able to keep her, tell me, how much did you paid her that she would go out with you!?" Lance asked and I felt how my blood boiled and how my fist cramped, as I tried to restrain myself from forming fists and punching right into his face.

"You asked for my name, huh, well let me tell you who I am!" I stated as I slowly turned around to face them, towering at 2 meters over them, at least the woman paled as intended.

I put on the best gangster face I could, and I learned it from my dad at his best.

"I am Johnny Baxter, don´t you forget that name, for it is the name of the man who can break your neck like a middle-sized branch, if you ever again offend Ash.

That's the kind of guy I am and I am to Ash whatever she wants!" I stated as I turned around dramatically, crossing my arms demonstratively over my chest, showing off my muscles a little.

But if I thought it would impress him, then I was wrong.

On the other hand Ash´s eyes were nearly glued on my biceps.

"I see so you are the w***e here..., never saw a male one though..., well..., is he at least good, maybe I can recommend him to some of my single friends!" Lance stated while Becky tried to stop him.

"I´m not into guys, but if you want a taste you can have it, at least if you still can stand afterwards!" I stated as I showed my hand and alone one finger was basically half as thick as Lance´s hand.

If my finger was that thick..., well, I leave the rest up to your imagination, pals.

At least now that little s**thead paled white as a sheet at the prospect, backing away sightly.

"There you go, chiken out as soon as things get serious, I figured as much from someone like you..., anyways now that we have cleared that, I want to hear you apologize to Ash, or else these hands might slip and entwine around your neck!" I stated to him.

"Jesus, it´s not like it´s a big deal, I mean I don´t even know how many guys she had before me, I mean she is rich isn´t she, she could have had around ten, who knows?!" Lance stated.

"You know damn well that I left it all behind for you Lance, 4 years long we were together, before you cheated on me, in the years before you and I got together, I never even had a glimpse of a Boyfriend, my parents were quite strict in that, I could not even invite any classmates over to my home.

Before you I never had a boyfriend, less a lover.

Not that it had changed much during the time we were together, the most romantic thing we have done was only to hold hands, you never even kissed my lips, only small pecks on the cheek, you always only said that it was too cheesy for you.

However what do I have to witness when I come home from a hard day of work..., what do I see, you..., and that ..., woman over there..., nearly kissing in a way you never even wanted to kiss me..., even love songs would have been too cheesy you said, all we ever played was punk rock...!

Not that that was a bad thing, but what did you said again, i would sell myself out by participating in the Audition and going to the recall..., whell look who did that himself!

You and her played a love song together, with my microphone, on the couch that I had paid, in the apartment that I had paid, have you an idea how I felt myself as I had to witness that?!" Ash stated near the tears, as she grabbed Lance by the collar in a rage making even Becky backing away.

I knew that finally she could truly pour her heart out.

All the masks she had worn for so long shattered here and now, leaving only the real Ash, or at least so I thought as I witnessed the scene, meanwhile the argument must have also alarmed the chef of this shop.

"Tell me how long has this been going on between you and her?!" Ash asked with tears in her eyes, looking from him to her and back.

"What does it matter now?!" Lance asked and even Becky looked a bit hurt.

"It matters to me, you a**hole, I want to know how long I have been cheated on, while I tried to make a living for both of us, I even completely emptied my savings book just so we could live together, before Johnny and i go togethe rlike this i was working you hear, i could not even truly enjoy myself because i was buisly trying to make a living for myself with all of your unpaid debts, which you did on my name, as much as i know from my earlier Jura-lessions, i would not even be able to blame you and make you pay for them, because you used my bank account!" Ash stated and my own inner rage became another boost, it was nearly filled to the brim, ready to explode as i heard about all the injustice.

"Back then you played it off as things necessary for you, you bought them en masse but they didn´t came to us..., or better said i never got to see those things, but then a week after you left me, the bills came crashing down on me, Online shopping, debts by some of our friends, the taxes the usual bills, Pay-TV..., i was barely able to eat the whole month and yet, i feared about what everyone would think once I would tell them, i din´t wanted them to be dragged into my misery and i didn´t wanted their pity, i didn´t wanted to be depending on anyone anymore!

But it didn´t worked out i was nearly at the end, if i would not have heard Johnny´s song, i might would have been lost forever, it told me tha the other were waiting for me, to come back, to truly come back to them, it gave me strenght and i told myself that if i ever meet you again i will make you pay up for everything you have stolen from me!" Ash stated and i was buff but even more was Becky who looked a Lance with sheer dissapointment, the same looked at her nearly begign as she opened up her mouth.

"About 2,5 months, thats how long we are together, he always told me he would live with a friend together.., well until i met you and got to know the truth!" Becky stated, not sure if out of mock, or out of stating the truth, to show Lance that she had nothing to hide.

The same facepalmed.

"So barely 3 months..., I see..., got to make a list with all the things I bought in that time for you, you going to pay up my friend and god beware if you can't, I will make you pay back every single last buck you owe me, even if i have to get your last shirt out of you, understood!

You know what..., in hindsight I might say, that all which had ever attracted you on me, was just the money, and after you figured out that my parents had closed my bank account, you wanted a way to get out, isn't that so?

But you couldn´t, the success you dreamed about never came, you had no means to get out you had been tied to me like with an iron chain, well until you found yourself a fitting reason to cheat on me and to cut this chain, am I right?!" Ash asked Lance who was kinda driven in a corner.

"That's not it..., its..., it´s not like that dude there isn´t any better am I right, you also just came together with her due to the money, am I right?!" Lance fired back, as he accused me.

"So now you try to blame me of being the same as you, to get out of this here..., sure you can do that if you want, but you only going to be disappointed, pal!

Because unfortunately I have to say to you, that you and me are nothing alike, not even in the slightest..., I haven't even known Ash´s real name, let alone her true roots, prior to today..., that does kinda makes me a little jealous.

I met her the first time during the Audition for the Moon-theater and during rehearsal times, we were together as the Theater collapsed and we were together as we build it back up, and in all this time I nearly knew nothing about her..., and yet I came to like her.

I like Ash because of who she is to me, a dear and true friend, a wonderful musician and a Girl which I would love to learn more about and which I want to learn to love!" I stated and Ash blushed deep red.

"I don´t care about money, after all I have a steadfast job, getting it myself you know, unlike you..., all I want to do is to live my passion, I love singing and playing the piano, I love to perform and anyone who loves it just as equally as myself and who respects other musicians, is a friend of mine.

These people we are working with, are wonderful, as persons as well as musicians and performers, and we came together as a family!" I continued and Ash nodded.

"Respect other musicians, hahaha, don´t make me laugh..., have you even an idea how it works in the music business, huh monkey..., nearly everyone is an enemy there, only the best ones will reach the top and get their name branded into the hall of fame, that's what me and my band are aiming for.

I have not the time to play around on the level of a Circus troop out of a Theater, run by a total Idiot, who even makes his own Theater collapsing, that's too much beyond my level!" Lance stated and I was about to object but he just kept going on pushing buttons he better didn´t touched.

"You guys are just the lowest bar on the carrier ladder, so don´t even try to compare with us real musicians.

We are playing in a whole different league than you guys, all you are is nothing but a disappointment to this town, at the very least other real musician do not blow up the entire stage just for one performance, endangering their audience.

And even if not, two pigs, fat as balloons..., watching them dance is like watching how jelly is dancing around, if you poke it over and over again...

Not to mention that elephant of yours..., that weird jumping around, you call that dancing...?

I wondered if she might crash through the stage with her weight and I got to admit, I kinda impressed it didn´t happened, but in the end she destroyed a quite expensive LED-Wall, poor guy who had to pay for it.

She even hid a spectator unconscious with the mic, seriously how embarrassing can she get.

And you..., weren´t you that monkey on the piano..., never knew your kind could sing i only ever hear the grunt..., I thought you had been broken out of prison, would have at least explained the police-helicopters which circle above your circus..., man as I read about some of these idiots being caught during a robbery, I couldn´t hold back my laughter..., well it wouldn´t quite surprise me, by such a criminal boss, who steals water and electricity just to run his circus and then blows it up, rumours say that they even saw some Bears of the Russian Mafia walking inside, how low do you need to fall to run that circus man.

But you Ash, as hard it is for me to admit you have talent.., but with all the talent you have, how embarrassing and dangerous it must be to let you on stage.

I mean the quills you shoot ever time you play..., how many people have you injured by now?

Hundreds I suppose.

And this embarrassing dress of yours, really..., purple and sparkling, you really are selling yourself out, you know..., and even if you put on a red jacket over it, it just screams Pop princess!" Lance laughed and I knew it was most likely the jealousy speaking out of him, but it didn´t made things better in the slightest.

"Seriously, you are one embarrassing bunch..., you really got the nerve to call yourselves musicians, you guys are nothing but a laughing joke.

Seriously, I admit..., the only one with true talent was the mouse, no wonder he left, his talent was definitely wasted on you jokes!" Lance stated and in this moment my mind went blank for a moment.

The next I saw was myself being restrained by Heather and her Father, while Ash spoke with me, practically sitting right on my face looking into my eyes to take my vision away from my target.

Flashback end:

"I said you shall look at me and calm down Johnny, listen to me, he isn´t worth to destroy your life for it!" Ash stated still trying to sooth me with her voice.

"How can I remain calm after what he said..., tell me Ash...?

I will not let this slip, not until he has apologized to you and everyone in the Theater, they are to thousands times more worth than such a filthy, tiny worm.

Seriously, who´s gonna miss him, if he´s six feet under!" I stated through grit teethes, eyes blazing with fire, rage nearly making me losing my mind.

"But I don´t care about that, Johnny, he cannot hurt me any longer and I am sure that no one in the Theater cares about that bastard anyways, please you got to believe me!" Ash stated desperate, but his words still rang in my mind making me even wilder.

Especially the knowledge that he knew Ash better than I did and dared to laugh at her.

"Believing you said..., it´s kinda hard to do that, especially coming from you Ash.

How can I trust you completely..., when you´ve already put on so many masks that it is hard for me to see your true self, your true feelings?

You never told me your real name or your roots, i know only vaguely where you are coming from and what you really think all the time, what you like and what you dislike, it makes me nuts not to know!

I hate to admit it..., but even that bastard knows you better than I do..., and that just makes me so jealous, it fills me up with rage to know that fact and seeing him how he mocks you upon it.

I want to see anything from you, all the feelings you harbor in your mind, for only then I can truly be there for you.

I want to ease that pain which burns into your heart, I want to have the force to fill that hole in your soul, which this bastard has left on you!" I stated and Ash backed away shocked.

"But I thought..., did I really..., I don´t know..., I don´t know how I can make you trusting and believing me, how to restore your faith in me..., if i shall have broken it.

I thought that our relationship we were about to build up was strong, but if this is where we stand..., then..., then...!"Ash stated in desperation.

"Then what Ash..., are you saying you no longer need me, that you just gonna end all what we have begun even though I finally began to understand you, even if only a little?!" I stated, something mean and totally out of place.

But rage and jealousy clouded my mind and my judgement, I saw how hurt she looked but not a second later she looked with determination.

"No I will not leave you, i´m not like Lance, I didn´t came to you, because of any special benefit I might get out of it, I cam to you because i liked you and i wanted to learn to truly love again, i wanted to know what a true Relationship looks like, one build on mutual love..., I will make sure that you know, just how much I truly love you Johnny.

This is no joke and no mask I put on..., I have decided, that for you I will tear it all down, I will mix up my both lives and create something new, something which holds both worlds in itself, Ash, the Rocker of the Moon Theater and Ashley Simons, the Daughter of Judge Maxwell Simons..., I don´t know what I will become then..., but I will be that new person, exclusively for you Johnny.

I don´t know what I ever found on that guy..., but maybe we weren't so different in the end, when he sought someone with a lot of money to financing his life, I tried to find an easy way out of a life which had nothing but iron chains, to clothe me in and hold me down, parents who told me what to do, when and why to do it...

It was a direction into the unknown but at least it was a breakout-route..., but after this road collapsed right in front of me and I fell, I was drifting in the unknown, uncontrollably, unrestrained but also without fuel, without a spark of life in it...

I tried to orientate myself in this darkness but I couldn´t, it was futile..., until you came, suddenly a light appeared, lighting up a new path, a path which led me far away, from darkness, from my past and from the masks I had finally left behind.

It was the one true road I had searched all my life, my Highway to heaven.

The street for someone untouched, to become a full-fledged member of this society.

I am 20 and yet I had no one, who ever truly call me a woman, i was always only `her´, `our daughter´ or `Babe´, but with you..., I would gladly let you crown me to a real woman, i want to become your Woman!" Ash explained and while listening to her soothing voice, my rage did diminished itself a little, but what ultimately put out the inferno were her last words.

"No one can truly call her a woman..., she wants me to crown her to a woman..., make her my woman..., what does she mean with that..., I mean she´s obviously a woman and she´s over 19 so..., wait!?"I thought long and hard about these words, while she looked at me with desperate eyes, before it dawned to me.

"No way..., Ash..., can it be..., are you still a Virg...!"
"DON'T SAY IT...don't say another word!" Ash begged in terror, blushing deep red as she kissed me to keep my mouth shut.

"Is she..., still a Virgin?!" I thought in sheer surprise, I thought that she and Lance would have done it already, that he knew everything about her, every so little thing, and that he still cheated on her and left her with nothing, after having nearly stolen anything from her.

Apparently I was dead wrong on that, there was one thing he never got and never will.

"But how?!" I wondered.

"It just never happened, neither of us knew why but now I guess I just wasn´t good enough for him..., but that's just how things still are, I am still untouched, at least in that manner!" Ash whispered still blushing.

To be honest, that reveal of hers began to bloom some very difficult feelings within me..., Alpha-male feelings if I should name it.

But even more it edged the feeling of responsibility and the feeling of defending her from everyone who tried to get a piece of that purity of hers, myself included, until she would give me the permission to lift her to adulthood.

"Have you..., you know, did you already do it?!" She asked me reluctant, whispering in my ear.

"Well I did, though only once..., apparently I wasn´t any good enough, according to Mercedes words!" I whispered, looking aside.

"Not aggressive enough she said!" I mumbled.

"Its fine to be gentle, I would like that more than the aggressive variant..., not that I have much clue about that anyways!" Ash explained, as she looked into my eyes.

"Ash..., are you perhaps trying to make me horny?!" I asked her as I groped her butt a little, which was still in my grasp, from earlier, as she nearly jumped up on me.

Of course she shrieked up and blushed deep red.

"I could ask you the same question!" She just replied with a lusty smile.

"Maybe we can cuddle a little on the bed tonight!" She mumbled, as she passionately kissed me again.

"Ahem!" A throat was cleaned and we looked to see a blushing Heather grinning.

Of course we both blushed deep red.

"Coming back to the main situation, what are we going to do with him?!" She asked as she gestured over to the knocked out Lance, his nose still bloody, apparently he must have fainted in the duration of our conversation.

His girlfriend Becky sat at his side, his head in her lap, talking to him.

Guess a Gorilla-head to the face was too much for him to handle, even after sounding so confident in his rant from earlier..., I wasn´t even truly able to put in all of my force.

"No idea, just get him somewhere where he can rest and where he doesn´t bother any people but his own ones!" Ash replied uncaring.

"How about jail?!" I suggested as a joke and Heather and Ash had to chuckle.

"That's where we should enclose you, you Filthy monkey!" Becky stated with a hateful snarl.

"Careful B***h, this is my man who you are blaming here, even though it was this piece of s**t, who has begun!" Ash stated a she jumped of my grasp and stood right in front of Becky.

"So you saying this is our fault?!" Becky asked.

"I don´t see anyone else here who could be to blame for it!" Ash replied.

"You miserable wretch, I will make you pay for what you did to him!" Becky stated a she was ready to attack.

"Well then come here, bring it on, I will teach you a thing or two, but I better warn you, I am quite acknowledged in Taekwondo, family forced training you might say!" Ash stated as she was readying herself for an all-out fist battle with Becky, with a lot of stocked wrath inside of her heart.

I thought that now I would have to hold her back, but Franky was faster than anyone else, to react to this new uprising argument.

"Now listen here little ladies, I´m not trying to side with anyone´s party here, but Miss Becky, what your boyfriend has said wasn´t any better, than this young Man head-butting the same in the face!" Franky stated, nodding over to me.

"I don´t like people who disturb the harmony here, who are offending my Customers, on the other side I also don´t like customers who go violent on others!" Franky stated as he looked at each one of us.

"Since both were at fault and since the whole case has more or less resolved itself, I will not call the police this time, however I will not look aside if it happens again, got it?!" He stated and we nodded.

"I guess Fortuna is on your side, at least for this time!" Becky stated as she supported Lance and brought him in the rehearsal and test room of the Shop.

"You will pay for that, so much is clear!" She stated at the door as she looked at both of us, Ash and Me, with outmost hatred.

"Bring it on whenever and wherever you want B***h, I will make sure you won´t dream of it again!" Ash stated and I put my hand on her shoulder to hold her back.

"I can´t believe how he could ever choose someone like you, a w***e without an ounce of talent!" Becky asked with a spiteful tone, I was about to yell but Ash held me back stepping up in front of me.

"So you are saying I have no talent, you and your scum-friends would be so much better than my family of the Theater, huh..., well how about we prove this then, once and for all, fair and square!" Ash stated with pure determination.

"What do you mean, a Battle of the bands?!" Becky replied reluctant.

"How banal, I accepted nothing less of someone with a tiny brain like you, no what I am talking about are the MTV Music Awards, Newcomer Edition, each of us is going to participate there and the one who gets nominated the most or even at all, will win, then we know who has it in them and who not, we will crush you mercilessly and once we have done that, you guys going to py us up!" Ash stated and I began to bite my fingernails.

Buster will not like this idea one bit, neither will Nana Noodleman..., however I would also say that they even more hate to hear that they called Buster an idiot and that we apparently shall have no talent and be the laughing joke of the town.

All in all I could imagine Buster to accept Ash´s later coming request, for this was the only logical consequence which could come out of all of this, we will not back down nor chicken out, even if Ash and i have to do it all on our own.

"Alright Challenge accepted we going to swipe the floor with you!" Becky stated as she and Ash, although reluctant agreed to the challenge with a handshake.

"See you when you lose!" Becky stated as she brought Lance away.

"Likewise!" Ash replied with her own hateful glare.

"Well, there we have really driven us deeply in a lot of crap!" I stated.

"I´m sorry I guess I just was angry, he provoked me and I promptly acted upon it, Buster´s going to kill me!" Ash stated.

"If you want I can give you a copy of the recording of the security cameras, so you can prove to your boss., that you have been badly provoked!" Franky stated with a gentler voice as before, showing compassion and understanding for Ash´s predicament.

"I guess that would be helpful, thanks a lot!" I stated.

"No problem son, at the very least we didn´t have had to call the police, I don´t like uniformed people!" Franky stated and by his entire look I was quite sure why.

He looked like the typical Rocker, surely he got involved the one or the other time.

"Well let´s just get the things we need and then out of here, tomorrow we go to talk with the others about the entire thing, I will have to apologize..., so much!" Ash stated as she took a package of plectrums, some new strings and one of the Middle-prized Keyboard, forcing back my complaining, with a glare, down my throat.

I on the other hand took the guitar I wanted, Black with dark green flames, according to Ash and Heather it was a Gibson USA SG Faded 2016 T Worn Electric Guitar in Ebony black.

It was expensive for sure, but with my Budget, which I had decided to give away for it, I could still buy a simple yet powerful amp next to it.

Both Franky and Heather as well as Ash stated, that I made a good choice and I hope they were right, but even the best guitar still sounds horrible in untrained hands, that's why Ash and I decided to tell Buster that we would from now on rehearsal a lot together.

The conclusion of today was that both Ash and I seemed to finally have come together as boyfriend/girlfriend for real, that Lance and Becky are going to give us a real hard time and that we are knee deep stuck within a Challenge which we had no idea we could even win, sure from sheer talent we might, but we had no idea how the others would react to this Challenge.

"What a day!" I stated, totally beat, as we finally sat back in the car, all the things neatly packed in secure boxes on the platform.

"You can definitely yell that!" Ash stated although a little reluctant.

"I´m sorry!" She suddenly said after being silent for a while as I drove through the town.

"Why would you?!" I asked.

"For anything that happened, I mean you are right..., until now I only acted out of my own selfish benefit of erasing my loneliness, maybe i also wanted to erase yours..., but then i should have tell you a little about me.

I wanted to believe that I was able to be the perfect girlfriend for you, but in the end I had only fooled myself, I just have no idea how to do it, I always thought that I was good enough for someone, but I guess Lance did not really cared as long as he got the money and a place to stay.

I just..., have no idea about romance and how a real relationship looks like!" Ash explained.

"Hahaha, neither do I, seems like we match better together than people say, in the end that gives us only two major opportunities thought!" I replied.

"What do you mean?!" She asked.

"Well if we have no clue about it, we will just have to discover each other and what I means to be in a romantic Relationship, at least the kissing works out so far!" I stated and she chuckled.

"I guess so, the last one was quite something I have to say!" Ash nodded, liking her lips seductively making me shiver in lust.

"There are many more, where that one came from..., if you want!" I replied.

"Much appreciated honey!" Ash stated with that seductive smile pecking me on the Cheek.

"Still, I think we also should at least tell the others about that decision of us becoming more than friends, I mean they surely are suspecting something anyways..., and who knows maybe they have some good advices for us.

I mean after all Rosita is a mother of 25 children which she loves dearly, so her Relationship has turned out in the best possible way I would say.

I don´t know about Meena or Gunther and I have definitely no idea about Buster...

On the other hand, Miss Crawly seems to have something going on as well, ever since this whole Dating site affair!" I stated, I chuckled myself as I had to think back at that.

"I guess you are right..., and about that proposal of earlier..., your place or mine?!" Ash asked out of the blue.

"I got snacks and drinks!" I replied.

"I got a soft bed and neighbors with a death-like sleep!" She answered with a smug smile.

"So first to me, to get these snacks and drinks and then to you?!" I asked and she nodded.

"Exactly, got to get some quality time together after all the mess today, am I right!?" She stated.

"Bet you are!" I replied with a smile, my lower region gave a happy little push against the fabric..., I was just a man after all.

And so we drove into the night, into a future yet unknown and yet we knew that at least some hard times might be ahead, if only we knew how hard they would become.

To be continued...

A/N: Hello again, hope you liked this Chapter, i´m sorry for all the swears, I just have no idea how such a jealousy fight would run down, it never happened to me or anyone close to me so I had to imagine it to me.

I´m sorry if I went overboard..., in anyways I am glad to see that this story is still getting read, however I am a little disappointed that no one seems to want to tell me his or her opinion of this Story.

I would love some more reviews people, a big thanks in advance, however I would prefer if no one tries to flame me, I don´t like to get burnt.

Constructive critic is alright but no spiteful words please.

Sincerely, yours truly, the Storyteller and his Books.
