Part Four: M.L.'s POV

Umm, what a nice dream, Mary-Lynnette thought. Ash was dancing with me on a cloud.

"You really have it bad girl," I whispered to myself.

I rolled over onto my right side and almost screamed.

Man oh Man, Ash was sleeping next to me!

I lifted up the covers.

And he's practically naked!

"Wow!" I gasped. "Hot yummy Ash-boy!"

Then it all came flooding back, the dancing, and the hopelessness, Ash holding me. I totally freaked out! I wanted Ash to take all of my anxiety and fear away. It backfired making me look like a lunatic!

"Way to go Mare, on his first night back you scare the shit out of him," I whispered.

He really must love me. I mean because he didn't take advantage of my feelings and just take me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, brought my lips to his, and placed a small kiss on him. His eyes popped open.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked as he brought me closer to him.

"Much, now that you're here. I'm sorry I woke you," I apologized smiling against his lips.

"There is no moment that I've been with you in which I didn't feel your presence. Look at us, we've been away from each other for a half-year, I come back, and we're in bed together. I wonder if they've eaten all the pizza yet? It's only 11:00, they got it an hour ago," he said about ready to stand up.

I grabbed his hand and pulled him back on the bed. Well, not on the bed on me.

"I love you so much!" I whispered as I wrapped my legs around his waist.

He kissed my forehead and lifted his hand to gently brush my lips. "Ditto."

Just then, as we started to get really into the kiss, the door burst open and Mark came in.

"GOOD DAY MARK, SO NICE TO SEE YOU!" Ash screamed in a very irritated manner.

I still heard the irritation although he was trying to hide it.

"WHY are you screaming?" Mark gave a dirty look as he started sticking his fingers in his ear.

Ash, with one of his free hands indicated the lay about. "I don't know you tell me!" Ash spoke with a devil's look in his eye.

"How am I...." Mark started to say then it finally dawned on him. "Oh, I got you!"

"Forget it, what are you here for Mark?" I asked him.

"Dad's on the phone and he wants to talk to you," he said.

I wiggled out from underneath Ash, and got up. As I moved to the door I heard Ash groan with the loss of me underneath him.

"You'll get what you deserve! Only if your patient though," I said smirking at him.

"I've been patient for half of a year. Do you know how long that is to know you have a soul mate and be away from them?" I heard Ash holler as I went down the stairs.

I shook my head at his retort and picked up the phone.

TBC.

I made a few changes, but then gave up figuring this part was way too far- gone for me to fix! Again this part was too far-gone!
