Lunch, I'm pretty sure I would get it then, if not from Terri, definitely
Paige. I sat, and they stared at me as I began eating my "Sheila Burger".
"What?" I said with my mouth full of food. "You can't just...forgive him like
that Ash," Paige hissed. She didn't understand I could if I wanted to; she
wasn't in love like I was. "I really have NO idea what you're talking about
Michalchuk." She glared at me. "We say you and that foul thing kissing in
the hallway!" she yelled. "Don't play dumb Ashley, you obviously still have
feelings for Craig," Ellie said. I was tired of being lectured, by
everyone! "Okay listen to me Paige! When my life becomes your business I'll
tell you, but right now stop butting in and being a bitch!" Terri, Hazel,
and Elli gasped. "He was sweet, and called himself an asshole to the entire
school, so you know what? I love him, that's right, I Ashley Kerwin Love
Craig Manning! And if you don't like that, too damn bad for you." Paige
stared at me, not mad, not upset, just...blank. Then she burst into tears, "I
just don't want him to hurt you Ash!" I just stared at her, she cared I
know, but she wasn't my mom, I would be fine, that's why we needed to talk.
"I know, but just let me go my own way." We finished lunch in silence.
Craig waited for me at my locker after school. "I was thinking," he said "Maybe I should come over, so we can work things out?" I smiled at him, "Okay." When we got to my house Toby's jaw dropped when Craig walked in. "Ashley, can I talk to you?" he asked. We both walked over to the next room. "Why is he here?!" Toby hissed. "We need to talk, about....us." I innocently replied. "He's a pervert!" Toby was upset so I told it right to him, "Toby mind your own damn business!" I stomped off back into the kitchen. "Let's go," and Craig and I walked up to my bed room. We walked in and sat on my bed. "Ashley," he reached over and grabbed my hand. "I'm so sorry about what happened between us, with me getting Manny pregnant, and you wanting to axe-murder me..." I put me fingers on his lips. "Craig, I...I loved you, you broke my heart, I wanted us to be...perfect. But when you thought I wasn't going to, and you went to Manny, that hurt the worst. Knowing that you wanted to fuck a 9th grader, just to get over me... hurt. That was the only reason, not you getting her pregnant, just that you wanted her more." A tear rolled down my cheek, and Craig wiped it off. "I wanted you, and I still do." We embraced each other, and he kissed me, a kiss so gentle, so pure. We both rolled back onto my bed holding each other, wanting nothing more than to have that moment all to ourselves....forever. My shirt went off, then his, and before I knew it, I was on top of him, moaning, and making love to him. He was so gentle; he was holding me, making me feel like I was the only one for him. It was magical, the moment I had wanted for so long. It all seemed right.
I woke up the next morning, my head on his chest; I could hear his heart beating it was so calm, and I wanted to stay there forever. I looked up at him, the sunlight was just pouring into my room. His eyes opened slowly, he looked down at me, and took my hand which was around his waist, and kissed it. "I love you Ashley Kerwin," he whispered. "I love you Craig Manning," I whispered back. We kissed, and got dressed quietly, and kept looking at each other smiling. I was happy my parents were gone on a business trip, they would have suspected something. We walked downstairs, grabbed our stuff, and headed over to "The Dot" for breakfast, before we headed to school.
