Chapter 10: The Start of Something New
Over the course of the next week, John and Ashleigh's new relationship had started to flourish. They became inseparable. As it was, Ashleigh had gotten fired from her job for being gone so long. After all, she said she'd be gone for two days, and now it had begun to be nearly a month! She kept calling and telling them "I don't know when I'll be back," and her boss and staff had had enough of it. It was only fair though. It's not like she really liked it there or anything, other than getting free alcohol which was NEVER a bad thing. It was just an easy cash flow.
John was on the road for three weeks straight, Ashleigh alongside him the whole time. Now, it was time to go home for a few days…possibly even a week.
"Johhhhnnnny!" she whined as they got to the airport.
"What now, baby?" he asked.
She had been quite whiney throughout the day and had wanted to just go home already.
"It's raining outside. I don't wanna melt." She pouted.
John laughed.
"Baby, we're going on a plane, not a walk" he reminded her.
"Ya, but what if it starts to thunder and lightning? I'm scared of thunder and lightning."
"I'll be here to protect you. Besides, we won't be flying if it storms." John reassured her.
"Mmmk" she replied.
They boarded their plane and shortly after, both of them were sound asleep. But halfway through their flight, they awoke with a start.
"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE SHUT THAT BABY OFF!!!!!" an angered Ashleigh shouted. "I think my ears are bleeding and I'm having a brain aneurism."
"I'm pretty sure you're not having a brain aneurism, you're just tired. And FYI- your ears are not bleeding."
"How do you know this, John?"
"Cuz I don't see blood - that's how!"
"Johnny, Johnny, Johnny! You have a lot to learn. It's internal bleeding, I swear to god!"
"Ok baby, whatever you say." He managed to laugh out.
"Are you laughing at me?" she giggled.
"No, I'm laughing WITH you, baby."
"I want off of this plane." She complained yet again, just when John thought she couldn't possibly complain anymore.
'This is going to be one looooooonnnngg plane ride!' he thought.
They got off the plane and found their luggage. Everything seemed to be going quite fine until they got to John's and Ashleigh had realized she had got so caught up in John, that she never got to visit Sienna.
"Awwwwwww Johnnnnnyyy! You forgot to let me have time with Sienna!"
"Baby you should have remembered on your own time. But we still had fun, didn't we?" he explained as he grabbed her hand and held it.
"I guess. But I feel really bad now." She sulked.
And right on cue, John asked her "do you wanna go home or to my place?"
"I told M's I'd be home tonight so I better go home, and I'll come over tomorrow."
"Alright, babe."
John dropped her off at home, and unloaded her luggage for her. She looked dead tired so he didn't want to keep her up much longer.
"Aren't you glad you came along for the ride?" he asked.
"Very glad, and now very tired." Ashleigh yawned. "I'll call you tomorrow then we'll hang out later, k?"
"For sure."
He kissed her, then turned around to get back into his car. But before he got in he smiled and said, "Goodnight, baby girl!"
