Chapter Two: A Very Welcome Guest

Michael could not concentrate on school at all the next day. He literally could not stop thinking about Ashley, and the fact that she literally might have been flirting with him. Michael went through the school day, with Ashley constantly being on his mind. He daydreamed about her, and when he daydreamed about her, she was in various states of undress. He did enjoy thinking about her, but Ashley was older than he was, and that meant that a possible relationship was nowhere near possible, impossible at most.

Michael was walking home from school later in the day, and he was literally taking the short cut to his house. His shortcut was that he cut through the vacant house next to his. As he was in the backyard, he remembered something. The 'vacant' house was no longer vacant, as Ashley was living there now, and that very same Ashley was laying near the backyard pool, in a red bikini.

Michael was such in a daze from thinking about her, and wanting to get home quickly, he did not think that she would be home, and he ran right into her backyard, not even thinking that she would be home. He mentally kicked himself for not thinking clearly. As Michael quickly hid out of her sight, it seemed to him that Ashley did not notice him, or even cared that he was there. Michael knew that he had to get to his house before Ashley knew that he was there.

Just as Michael was about to do just that, Ashley sat up, and undid her bikini top, and Michael saw her breasts unobstructed for the first time. Michael froze, and watched her. Michael stood there, and watched Ashley for a few moments, before he made his escape. Michael turned back, and watched Ashley from his side of the fence, once he was safely in his yard. It was strange to him, but everytime that he watched Ashley, or everytime that Michael saw her, Ashley seemed to Michael to get even more beautiful.

Just as he was sitting there, admiring Ashley, his cell phone rang loudly, causing both Ashley and Michael to jump.

"Who's there?" Ashley said, covering herself up, and looking around. Michael saw enough, at least for that point in time, and made his way inside his house before something else happened.

He stayed in the house the rest of the day, and well into the evening. Michael only left his room to eat dinner and greet his mom when she got home. He did not tell her about what he did, or even sort of spying on Ashley when he came home from school that afternoon. Once that was all over and done with, Michael went to bed early that night. He couldn't sleep, nor did he even bother to look out his window, because he knew that he might see Ashley again, and after what he did earlier in the day, he knew he couldn't risk having her catch him spying on her. Michael figured that he might be safe in his sleep and in his dreams.

Boy was he ever wrong...

"Well, here we are. All alone in your bedroom. I bet that you have been dreaming about this moment ever since you saw me, right?" Ashley said, walking towards him. Michael grew very nervous, and kept pacing backwards from Ashley. She managed to corner him in his room, and Michael felt very trapped in his own home.

"Uh...maybe?" Michael said, avoiding looking at her. Ashley chuckled lightly, and tipped his face up to hers.

"Don't lie to me, Michael Harris." Ashley said in a stern but seductive voice. "I have known that you have wanted me ever since you laid eyes on me. Now I am here, in your room, and I am not going to take no for an answer."

Before Michael could react, Ashley pinned him to the floor, climbing on top of him. She pinned his hands above his head, and kissed him passionately, forcing her tongue in his mouth. Ashley smiled as she saw Michael feeling helpless in her grip.

"You really are cute." Ashley said, as she reached down, and began to undue his pants...

Michael eyes snapped open, as he soon realized that he was back in his room. He sat up, and stared out at the night sky through his window from his bed. It was all too obvious to him that he was attracted to Ashley, and why wouldn't he be? Ashley was a beautiful, well built, former playboy model, and Michael was a younger teen that pined for her from afar.

Michael put it in his head that a relationship between the two of them was not only unlikely, but damn near impossible. Ironically, that made him feel better for some strange reason. Michael laid back down in his bed, and went back to sleep.

The next morning, which happened to be Saturday, Michael stayed in his room, even after he was well awake. He just had to get Ashley out of his mind, which really was going to turn out to be more of a mission, than a preference. Then again, he hoped that they were going to be friends, at least. The nagging thought in his mind was that he really wanted to be more than friends with Ashley. Lovers, of course.

Michael finally got the nerve to go downstairs, and that is where his mother was waiting on him.

"Michael," she said as he took a seat at the kitchen table, "I have some news."

"Okay, what's up?" Michael asked her.

"I am going to be out of town until next Saturday, and I have already arranged for someone to take care of you until then." She said.

"Ma, I don't need a babysitter." Michael said.

"I figured that you were going to say that, so I just asked Ashley to look in on you occasionally." She said.

Once she said 'Ashley', Michael flinched, ever so slightly. Ashley, here, in his house, and they were going to be alone. Michael's mind was racing a mile a minute, thinking about everything that might happen.

"Oh, well, okay." Michael managed to get out before his mother got suspicious.

"See, I knew you were going to come around." She said.

Now things were going to get interesting...

As the day went on, Michael stayed in his room, and he heard someone downstairs talking to his mom. She was going to be leaving in a little while for her trip, so he figured that it was a random someone that she entrusted with the house while she was going to be gone. He opened the door to his room, and heard that his mom was talking to another woman, but from what he could hear, he was not able to make it out exactly who it was. Michael walked down the steps, but was careful to stay out of sight from his mom and their visitor.

"Okay, so that's everything. You have my number if things get a little out of control, but I doubt it because Michael is an angel and he seems to have a crush on you." Michael heard his mom say. He leaned down a little further, and saw that his mom was talking to Ashley. Michael mentally wanted to kick himself because his mom basically revealed his crush to the woman that he was crushing on.

"Don't worry, Michael and I are going to be fine." Ashley said.

"Good." His mother said. "Michael!"

Michael waited for a moment before coming down the steps, and when he did, he smiled at them both.

"Yeah?" Michael asked innocently.

"I'm gone, baby. I'll see you when I get back." She said. Michael carried her bags out to the car. She gave him a hug, and a kiss on the cheek, and Michael waved as she drove away to the airport.

Michael sighed, and walked into the house, to a very amused Ashley.

"Wow, she really has you on a schedule." Ashley said, shaking her head, and trying her best to refrain from laughing.

"She's just looking out for me." Michael said, taking a seat at the kitchen counter. "I get where she is coming from, but it does frustrate me sometimes."

"I am going to take good care of you, so don't worry about it." Ashley said, smiling at him.

For some strange reason, Michael was compelled to smile back at her.

As it became a clear night, Michael was just about to turn in for the night. Michael has grown accustomed to having Ashley here at his home. They were there all alone, but nothing happened. It was funny, but he felt like he was growing close to Ashley. Michael wondered if Ashley felt the same way. She probably didn't, but he kind of hoped that she did. Damn, just as he was getting over his little crush on her, it came roaring back in a real powerful way, and it was not going away.

Michael wondered down the steps, getting a drink before he went to bed.

"Oh, didn't think that you were still up." Ashley said, from the couch. She got up, and walked over to where he was standing.

"Sorry. I just wanted a drink before I went to sleep." Michael said. Michael, even though it was kind of dark in the living room, saw that Ashley was only wearing panties and a tank top. Ashley must have thought that he couldn't see what she was wearing, but he could see very clearing. Michael did not say anything though.

"I thought that you were gone already." Michael said.

"I didn't want you to stay the night by yourself, so I stayed over." Ashley said.

"Thanks. I mean, really, thanks." Michael said.

"No problem." Ashley said.

You know, Michael really was glad that Ashley was here. He smiled as he returned to his room. Being a kid, he thought a lot about her. Some of his thoughts were sexual, but he was growing attached to Ashley in a way that friends did.

Maybe, just maybe...

AN: Okay, next chapter, Ashley and Michael start to grow more as friends, and maybe lovers? Again, this is not going to be a really long story, but that will happen next chapter.
