Chris went in his car. Chris said, I'll be there in twenty minutes.
I said, okay!
I said, I love you Chris, I'll see you in twenty minutes. Chris said, see you in twenty minutes, love you too.
I am getting ready to put the games away, me and Sabrina played games today. The phone ring.
A deep voice said hello. It was Taylor!
I said, hi. I said, What you want?
He said, I want YOU!
I said, I am taken—sorry bud.
He said, Please, please, I want to go out with you!
I said, You need to stop begging like a two year old.
He said, fine. I can wait for you.
I said, you're going to have to wait a long time, dude.
I said, I need to go, Taylor. Chris is coming over.
Taylor said, Don't let him touch you.
I said, It's not your business about what me and Chris are doing with each other.
I said, Good-bye!
I see Chris in the doorway. My hand said come-in, I was still on the phone. Taylor said good-bye. I hung up the phone.
Chris said, Who are you yelling to on the phone?
I said, I was yelling at Taylor on the phone.
I said, Chris, can you help me get up please?
He said, Yes I'll help you. He swooped my legs up, I put my arms around his neck, we kissed, we went in my room, he put me down, we making out.
I said, Chris, you want to go in the hot tub?
He said, Yup.
I tell him, you need to get your bathing suit on. He said, I have my bathing suit in my car, I'll get it.
I said, Okay, I'll change too.
He went to go get his bathing suit out of the car. He come back in, go into the bathroom, put his bathing suit on. I used magic and put my bathing suit on. My bathing suit is blue, and green, with flowers on it. My bathing suit is a bikini. He come out the bathroom. His bathing suit is blue. He says WOW! He had his mouth open. He never see me half naked before.
He said, You sexy.
I said, You look good with your bathing suit on.
Chris said, what you going to do with your cast?
I said, You remember I am a witch? I can put a spell on it, it won't get wet.
I put a spell on it . We went down stairs where the hot tub was. He put me in the hot tub. The size of the hot tub is big. He come in the hot tub too. We start to make out.
I said, Where you get your tattoo?
He said, I went Bangor.
I said, I want one!
Chris said, Where you want to put it?
I said, I want to put it on my back, low on my back, I want a butterfly.
He said, okay. Maybe we can do that your next birthday.
I said, Okay!
We start making out.
I said, Chris, I can't swim that well.
He said, I'm a good swimmer, I can help you. I promise you won't drown.
I said, In case we go in the pool. That why I was worried about drowning.
He said, I'll make you safe.
I said, You remember I had a dream last night?
Chris said, Yes I remember you had a dream last night.
He said, Why you tell me just now?
I said, I didn't tell you about my second dream. I was drowning and Quinn saved me!
Chris said, No, I heard you, you had trouble breathing, I saved you. I put air in your lungs, CPR.
I said, You did??
I said, Thank you save me!
He said, No problem, it's my job. Boyfriend job.
I said, Why your sister want us get married?
He said, Robin is eight, she still young, half vampire.
I said, Oh! She is eight? That is a cute age!
I said, You need to bring Robin over here. I am good with kids.
Chris said, I will bring Robin, maybe tomorrow? I said, okay.
Chris said, How many kids do you want?
Seven, I said.
Chris said, Seven? Oh my God! You a crazy woman!
He was staring at me a lot. I was like, Chris? Hello, hello? You there?
Chris said, You want seven? Geesh! I be busy guy here!
I said, You'll be okay!
Chris said, I don't want to have kids right now. I want to wait like ten years to be a parent.
I said, okay!
I turn around to face him. I sit sideways on his lap, one arm around his neck, playing with his hair. And he put his arm around my waist. We start making out again.
He said, You're beautiful.
My face was red.
I said, you're handsome too.
Chris blushed.
Chris said, you'll marry me later Ashley? He start kissing my neck and tickling me.
I like, Stop it!
I said, Yes I will marry you later. I promise.
Chris said, Yes!!
I start kissing his neck and tickling him. He say, Stop it!
I like, Okay…!
He said, You're like my sister Robin, she say Okay!
You think I am eight? I think you are eight, I said. I am more mature than you are! I am a woman, you are a man. Women are more mature than men!
Chris said, I think not! I am a man, I am a werewolf man! I am more mature than you. I'll still be growing when I'm twenty!
Chris said, you are more mature than I am, but I am more mature than you are too. I know you are part right, and I am part right.
Chris said, what your mom doing—Daisy? And your dogs, Dexter and Hunter?
I said, They're fine. My mom miss me, down Florida. And my sister and my dogs miss me too. My brother is married and I am an aunt. My bother has two kids. My nephew's name is Matt, my niece's name is Jenny, and his wife's name is Michele.
Chris asked me, What your brother's age?
I said, twenty-two. He is four years older than I am.
I said, Chris, I want to get dressed now. It's getting hot in here.
Chris said, okay.
He swooped my legs up. He bring me back up upstairs. He put me in my room, and went in the bathroom and changed. I change too. I used magic.
I crawl back out to the living room. Chris like, Ashley? He trying to find me.
I said, right here!
I said, Chris will you sit right here on the couch with me? I push him down on the couch, and I am kissing him.
We are making out.
I said, When are you going to propose to me the right way—later?
Chris said, Yes I will do it the right way—one knee, the roses and a diamond ring.
I like, yup! That is the right way!
I said, Chris, our kids will be half werewolf.
Chris said, Yes, our kids will be part werewolf.
Chris said, Our kids will be part witch too.
I said, yup!
We were making out again. And we hear someone knocking at the door.
I said, Stay!
Chris said, Yes M'am!
It is the guy who brings boxes to the house from the mail. It is a small box from my mom. It is my last birthday present maybe. I open it with magic!
It is a movie card to go to the movies free!
I said, Yes! I love movies!
And Chris like, What?
I crawl over the couch and show him the card.
Chris said, You want to go see a movie tonight?
I said, Yes! It will be another date.
Chris said, I want to see this movie. It's about this guy who is in a wheelchair like you. It is a movie called Avatar.
And Chris said, And you want to go out to supper?
I said, Yes!
We hear a noise, a car. I said, it's Sabrina, and my uncle, my vampire uncle, and my vampire aunt.
Chris said, You tell them you know they're vampires?
I said, No, they don't know yet.
We hear steps. Sabrina uses her magic to open the door.
She said, Ashhh-ley! Will you stop making out with your boyfriend?
I said, I can't help it! He is good-looking!
Chris said, She started it!!
I said, Sure Chris!
Sabrina said, Your uncle and your aunt are coming up the steps in a second!
Uncle Jeff said, Ashhh-ley!
I said, Right here, Uncle Jeff. Uncle Jess, I need to talk to you, and Aunt Autumn.
Uncle Jeff said, Yes kid, what's up?
I tell Sabrina go to her room. I said, Go in your room please? It's a family thing.
Sabrina said, Yes Ma'm!
Aunt Autumn said, What's up, kid?
Chris said, Ashley, may I talk to your aunt and uncle before you start talking to them?
I said, Sure bud!
Chris said, Mr. and Mrs. Seer, will you come in your room please?
They're like, Sure kid!
They are in the room now. I can't hear them.
Chris said, Ashley knows you guys are vampires.
Mr. Seer said, Oh crap!
Aunt Autumn said, I knew this would happen!
Mr. Seer said, We can't lie to her any more, we have to tell the truth. We need to go back out there and talk.
Chris said, Hold a second! Ashley had a dream about you guys are vampires and I helped her understand her dream by telling her the truth.
Mr. Seer said, You told her the truth about the dream? You stupid mutt!
Mrs. Seer said, Mr. Seer, don't yell at Chris, he's just telling the truth! He loves our niece.
Chris said, thank you Mrs. Seer.
We're going back into the living room. Chris said, Sorry honey. Go ahead.
And Mr. Seer gave him a dirty look.
Aunt Autumn said, Go ahead sweetie.
I said, I had a dream last night you are vampires. You show me your tricks.
Aunt Autumn said, Yes, we're vampires sweetie.
And Uncle Jeff said, Yes, we're vampires.
I said, You guys lie to my face two months? Why didn't you tell me the truth? I'm not happy with your guys not telling the truth! Chris tell me the truth about him. He didn't lie to my face!
I went in my room and shut the door. I cried. I put music up loud.
Chris knocked on the door. I said, What you want? I was crying still.
Chris said, It's me, your boyfriend? Can I come in?
I said, Yeah, you can come in.
I was laying on my bed and crying.
He said, I know you're mad with them, but you can't be mad with them a long time, you still love them. I understand why you want to be mad with them.
I turned my head to look at him. I have tears.
He touched my face and moved my tears.
You don't need to cry, he said. You have me. I love you. Your aunt loves you and your uncle loves you. They trying to protect you by lying to you.
I said, Yeah but…….not really! They need to tell me the truth! I know they trying to protect me, but I have my own werewolf boyfriend—it's his job to protect me!
Chris said, Yeah but….not really! I'm not here all the time. I have my own family to take care of. In school it's my job to protect you. I have a baby sister who needs me at home.
I said, Robin needs you?
Chris said, Yes.
Chris said, It's almost six. You want to go out have supper and go see a movie? That will make you feel better. And this will make you feel better!
We're making out. He lay on my bed. He kissed my neck and my arms and he tickled me, and I like, Stop it!!
Chris like, Okay we need to get ready.
I said, Okay fine. I kissed him and said bye!
He said, bye Mrs. Seer, Ashley is okay now.
He drive off.
