Chapter 11

Ashley woke up the next morning groggy and sore. She felt so comfortable and warm in Dom's arms. She didn't want the moment to end. But her thoughts were soon torn away from her with a loud knocking on the door. She jumped up and pulled Dominic's shirt over her head.

"What!" She asked, annoyed.

Mia stood there with a grin on her face. "What happened here?" she asked, strolling in the room, picking up various clothing items.

"Nothing!" Ashley said, quickly. "WE just talked and stuff…"

Mia rolled her eyes. "Yeah right. I guess that's what that "OOOOOOH DOMINIC! RIGHT THERE! RIGHT THERE! OH YEAH BABY!" was about right?" Mia said, to the top of her lungs.

Dominic's head shot up. "WhaT?" He asked, still half asleep.

"Nothing, baby go back to sleep." Ashley said, pulling Mia out of the room.

Mia laughed hysterically. " What?" She asked.

"What do you want?" Ashley asked, shivering from the cold air hitting her legs.

"Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come with me to the mall. You know girl stuff. Shopping, gossiping, yadda, yadda." Mia stated.

Ashley frowned. "That's girly stuff Mia…"

Mia's smiled dropped and she gave her a pouty dog look. "Please…Please…"

Ashley rolled her eyes. "Ok, fine. Let me get ready." She said, slipping back in the door. She tip toed over to the bed and pulled out her clothes. She tried her best to be quiet and not wake Dominic.

She squealed as a pair of hands shot out and grabbed her by the waist.

"Dom! Let me up. I have to get ready."

"Where ya goin?" He asked.

"To the mall with Mia. Not that you need to know." She said, wriggling from his grip.

"Hey, I always know where you're going." He said, pointing a finger at her.

Ashley rolled her eyes and walked away with clothes in hand. "Don't even try that."

~*~*

Mia and Ashley walked around the mall, bickering. Mia was trying to put Ashley in a dress! Ashley looked purely disgusted. She refused to be such a girl!

"Mia! Listen to me! I'm not wearing a dress. Its against everything that I believe is right!"

"You have to look good cheering Dom on tonight."

Ashley threw her a death glance, and stuck her nose up in the air. "Cheering him on? Shit, you should have brought his ass here to pick him out an outfit to cheer ME on. I don't that cheerleading bullshit."

Mia looked at her with disfavor. "Ash, you're his girl. You need to look good for him, because if you don't then some other girl will…"

"Are you trying to make me jealous?" Ashley laughed at this. "You must not know who I am. I don't get jealous over no hoes. If Dom wants them, then he can have 'em. Guys are like buses for me, another one comes around every 5-minutes." She said, walking into an Urban Hip-Hop clothing store.

Mia sighed at her blindness. "Dom is a good guy, he's my brother for crying out loud! So many girls would die to have him. I know this trust me!"

"I trust you, it's more like I don't care. He's mine. Period. That's enough said."

Mia looked at her in shock. "You're the most trusting girlfriend I believe he's ever had."

Ashley smiled. "Well what can I say, I'm one of a kind."

"Whatever," Mia said, laughing. "But really some advice, you need to show him you're proud every now and then"

"What the hell Mia? Why are you telling me stuff like this?" Ashley asked, with a grin.

"Because, man you're cool, I hope he keeps you around!"

Ashley burst out laughing. "You're a trip! You're a trip!" She said, running right into the arms of a guy. "Oh, sorry." She mumbled, looking up at him. It was the Asian man who's car she'd won. His arms tighten around her.

"What the fuck man, get off me!" She said, loudly. She struggled to get out of his grasp.

Out of nowhere he bent over and kissed her. She was caught off guard by his actions, and she did what she always did when some random guy forgot his place. She kneed him as hard as she could in the balls.

"Get the hell away from me asshole!" She yelled, grabbing Mia and stomping away.

Mia walked briskly beside her. "Who was that?"

"Hell if I know." Ashley said. "I think it was that guy whose car I won…whatever." Ashley informed her, disregarding it.

"Should we tell Dom about that? I mean cause he would kill him!"

"Nah, I just reduced what little balls he had, to mixed nuts. It's solved."

"Does that happen often?"

Ashley shrugged. "Every once and a while." She said, with all seriousness.

~**~**

Ashley sat in the front seat looking out of the window as her and Dom pulled up. All the people there just waiting, watching ready to take on the best, which everybody knew it was Dominic.

"Do good baby," She said, kissing him before they got out. She stepped out with all eyes on her. She heard the girl's envious scowls and the boy's lustful howls, She smiled at the attention, she loved it actually.

Her chain belt that hung from the leather pants she wore, hit against her thigh every step she took to reach Dom's side.

"So you score again?" Edwin said, slapping hands with Dominic. He nodded at Ashley.

Dominic threw his arm around her waist. "Yup. You know it." He said. "So who's up?"

"Iight, you got Mel and Slim. One Race. 4G-buy in. winner takes all." Hector said, adding his two-cents in.

Ashley went over and took a seat on the hood of Mia's car. "I can't believe I'm sitting on the side lines. Watching my man race. This is so NOT like me!"

"Hey, what's up?" A Mexican man asked. Ashley looked at him. "What's up."

"I'm Hector. I got a last name too, but I can't pronounce it so…"

"Yeah, Ashley Hernandez."

"Mia, where's Letty?" He asked, turning meeting Mia's glance.

Mia laughed. "Her and Ashley got in a little tussle."

"Who won?" He asked.

Ashley cut in. "I'm here aint I?" She said cocking her eyebrow.

Hector shared her laughter. "You got balls. I like that. Dom always gets the best."

"What can I say?" She said, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly.
