Ashley's Words

Chapter 14

Ashley watched as her words slapped Manny in the face. Ashley smiled as she took a piece of paper out of her pocket.

Ashley: By the way I need 4 cheeseburgers, 3 orders of fries, and 1 order of onion rings.

Manny was thinking about Macala and how it was just like what had happened almost a year before. Then Ashley snapped her fingers.

A: Hello? Did you hear me? Manny?

M: (shakes her head) Yea, 4 cheeseburgers, 3 fries, and 1 onion ring.

She said as she wrote it down on the notepad she took from her apron. She then rushed into the kitchen to put in Ashley's order. Ashley sat down at the counter with a huge grin and then turned towards the window just in time to see the group minus Ellie and Sean, She followed Craig and Macala with her eyes then she notice Macala slip her hand into Craig's hand.

Ashley let her anger get the best of her and she slammed her fist down onto the counter. Which knocked over the old guy's coffee cup, sending the cup and its contents crashing to the floor. The guy looked up very scared.

A: I am so sorry! (She said in a very embarrassed tone)

Old Guy: You're Crazy!

He put a ten-dollar bill on the counter and got up and left. Manny came out of the kitchen with the paper bag with The Dot printed on it and held Ashley's food.

Manny: (with a shocked look) W..What happened?

Ashley: (with a fake smile) Just a little accident.

Manny handed Ashley the brown bag, in exchange for a twenty. Manny then hands Ashley $3.58 and Ashley left still upset.

A/N: I don't know if this is going to confuse anybody but this is going to be before Ashley sees Macala and Craig, in other words the events leading up to the hand hold. I did this in an earlier chapter, where Macala walks in on Craig hugging Manny. I just wanted to clear that up if there was any confusion.

Craig caught up with Macala at the park.

Macala: Paige, where's Sean and Ellie?

Paige: They probably went to rob a bank with Jay and Alex. (Macala looked confused) Kidding, just kidding. They had to meet Jay and Alex somewhere.

Macala: Ok?.. (Having no clue who these people were)

Craig: Well, guys... uh

Everyone stopped playing and came over to Craig and Macala.

Craig: Well as you know Manny is back and so is my son.. James (Paige squealed with delight and then opened her mouth to ask a question and Craig beat her to it) and no he is not named after JT. (Paige looked relieved)

Macala: Who in the world is JT?

Paige: My sweet potato! (Spinner rolled his eyes)

Macala: (looked even more confused)

Spinner: He is the annoying mascot and that's Paige's Annoying pet name.

Paige hit Spinner on the shoulder and then said to Craig.

Paige: Craig? You were going to say?

Craig: Well Macala and I were going to ask Dylan if he could drive us to the mall and..

Macala: (cutting him off) and we wanted you guys to come to pick some things out for James.

Dylan: Let's go!

They all started walking towards The Dot and the cars. Marco shivered and Dylan put his arm around him. Paige reached for Spinner's hand and held it. It took Macala the time from that point to the front of The Dot to have the courage to slip her hand into Craig's hand. Craig pulled back in surprise. Causing Macala to look away in disappointment, Craig looked down at her and saw her face, then he reached for Macala's hand and squeezed it to comfort her. Macala looked up and smiled. Paige tugged on Spinner's sweatshirt to get his attention. She then pointed to Craig and Macala. Spinner shook his head and said.

Spinner: I hope this one lasts.
