"Ashley...I cant figure out why I feel this way but I do...please dont hate me because of it."
Ashley stared down at me silently. I could feel my face heating up as I adverted my eyes to the ground. There was silence so I continued.
"Ashely...I want you to...make me human so that...I can be with you..."
She stared down at me silently before smiling. I had never before seen her smile. It was the most beautiful sight in the world. "Of course I will."
"Red! I asked you to hand me the jar of newt eyes!"
"Huh? Oh! R-right away Ashley!" I said quickly snapping out of the daze I didnt remember falling into. I had been dozing off all day, namely bcause of the fact that I had been watching Ashley sleep all last night. I couldnt help myself though. She had looked so innocent and sweet and...pretty and-
BONG!
OW!
"RED!"
I gently rubbed the top of my head as I stared up sheepishly at the girl who had just whacked me on the head with her septar. "Y-yes Ashley?"
She exhaled deeply. I could hear the irritation in her voice as she spoke. "Did you hear any of what I just said?"
"O-of course. Every word."
"Well? Get to it."
I quickly scurried away while racking my mind on how to get myself out of this one. Not only had I not been paying attention to instruction, I had lied to her. I would eventually have to go back and confirm whatever she had told me.
"Ugh!" I groaned as I put my hands to the top of my head. As I did, I noticed there was a pice of paper on the table with writing on it.
Chores-
Wash the dishes
Dust every shelf in the library
Clean out the potion viles
Get more of everything we are out of from the store.
Organize the spell books(chronological order.)
I sighed softly in relief as I pieced two and two together and realized that she has probably told me to get the note from the table. It was the usual imposible. Well, human impossible. With me, its pretty easy. I glanced back towards the room that I had left Ashley in. I peeked back inside, only to discover that she was gone. In a house this large, Ashely could go missing for days at a time without even going outside. I found it best to leave it alone and just get started on chores. (Which, for some reason today was slightly more difficult than usual.) After completing the first four chores in about an hour or so I headed out back to the house to get the spellbooks organized. (Which is not alot of time considering there are hundreds of rows of books in that library). After organizing the spellbooks, I walked around the house to find Ashl- er- I mean to make sure there are no other chores to be done. Besides, if I do that will mean less work for me to do tommorow. I wonder if Ashley's room specifically needs any attending to. Upon arriving to her room, I find that her bed has yet to be made up. I walked over and took my time making it up. As I did, I noticed that it smelled...just ;like her. Kind of indescribable...but like her nonetheless. I looked left, then right before burowing my face briefly into her pillow. It smelled even more like her. So good...
A sudden feeling of weakness came over me and I closed my eyes, savoring the smell more. I was tired. I opened my eyes again, but then slowly allowed them to close again. Perhaps just alittle nap... I wonder what it would be like if Ashley were here with me right now. Not the Ashley that would bonk me on the head and make me sleep outside for laying in her bed, but the Ashley from my dreams, that wouldnt respond like normal Ashley. The Ashley that might lay beside me and smile my way as she does. The Ashley that might let her long black hair down for a moment and not get mad at me for staring. The Ashely that might lean against me and cause me to blush and get this wierd feeling in my (much)lower stomach area. The Ashley that might look at me with an adorable blushing face and whisper that-
RED! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?
"Gah!" I exclaimed sitting up.
Having fantasy's about her again huh?
"Gosh you scared all the hell out of me!"
I saw what you were thinking Red. You were thinking about Ashely in a bad way.
"N-no! Not in a bad way! It...I was just...I..." I could feel my face heating up..Gosh, what is wrong with me?
That's what I want to know!
"I-I'm sorry. I promise it wont happen again. I have no idea what...came over me. Gosh...to have such thoughts about Ashley..."
Get up Red. Regain your composure and get back to work.
I nodded at my literal opposing side as I exhaled long and slow. I then climbed down from Ashleys bed and stretched.
"Red...what are you doing?"
My heart lept into my throat as I turned and saw Ashley standing in the doorway. A jolt of pure emotion (of some sort) shot through me upon seeing her. The feeling was strong, and started in my chest before racing downwards. Way downwards, Oh my-
Ashley's POV-
I stood there staring at the small red demon before me. Why the heck was he standing there like that? Looking so...
"Red...what are you doing?"
He turned to face me and tensed visibly. It seemed like a flinch mixed with a stiffen of the back. His face twisted into shock and his mouth into a slight grimace. He then,raced past me yelling various apologies and 'excuse me's along with something that I couldnt quite catch. I watched silently as he ran quickly down the hallway, his legs looking like little wheels and dust rising behind him.
...
Idiot.
Author: First of all, with that part about his legs looking like wheels an dust behind him, try to picture that as an animation. Secondly, I'm not sure if this chapter is as good as the other one but hey, I tried. I was alittle discouraged at not having many reviews, but the few people to read it seemed to have liked it so I decided to continue! I hope you guys continue to enjoy it. I'm open for suggestions and opinions. Be honest...but not hurtful XD. Send meh a review!
