A short note…no spoilers really, unless you haven't seen any of the commercials. The content will be a little more detailed, but nothing that requires a rating change.---Late addition, I just saw the commercial that spotlighted some of this seasons amazing moments and I was totally blown away...so I will be changing/adding a few things in the story to fit with the shows storylines...hope that's okay.

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT

CHAPTER 10: LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX PT.2

"Since this was your idea, music or movie?", Jimmy asked, holding up a cd in one hand and a dvd in the other. "Music…something romantic", Ashley answered, nodding to Jimmy's right hand. "And the mood's all wrong" , she added heading out to the kitchen. Ashley came back with an armful of votive candles and a matchbook.

Jimmy looked at her inquisitively, Ashley smiled. She placed the small, lighted candles around the room and dimmed the lights. "You get comfortable and I'll be right out", she said to Jimmy as she walked into the bath room located at the other end of the den.

Jimmy waited on the couch and looked around the room, little flickers of light danced on the walls and he could smell the faint scent of lavender. He smiled to himself, the whole room reminded him of Ashley; soft, warm and sweet.

Ashley took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door. Jimmy's jaw dropped…for there, standing in front of him, was Ashley…dressed in only his shirt, the long sleeves rolled halfway up her arms...completely open in the front, revealing her teal green bra and panties.

"Wow", he gasped, when he finally found his voice. Ashley smiled and blushed as she walked over to him. "Ashley…", he shuddered. She sat down next to him and put her finger to his lip. "Kiss me", she said seductively. Jimmy nervously licked his lips and moved closer, kissing her.

The kissing started slow and soft, Jimmy put his hands around her neck, brushing his fingers through her hair. Ashley cupped his face, her hands traveling to the back of his neck, pulling him closer…the kissing becoming more passionate.

They moaned into each others mouths, neither able to get enough of the other. Jimmy's left hand traveled down Ashley's shoulder, tracing her curves, until it rested on her hip. Ashley moved his hand down to her bare thigh. "You're so soft", he whispered, out of breath. She broke away, also breathless, and smiled.

Ashley looked into his big brown eyes, her second favorite physical attribute of his...her first being, of course, his killer smile. Jimmy wanted to say something... but the words wouldn't come. Ashley smiled at him.

She scooted forward, tucking her legs up underneath her. She kissed his forehead, then the bridge of his nose, moving slowly down his face, until she reached his neck. Jimmy turned his head into her kiss and she playfully nipped at his ear.

Jimmy placed both hands on her shoulders and pulled back the shirt that laid upon them. He softly kissed her neck and shoulders, sending a shiver through her body. Her hands found his waist and she slid them underneath his t-shirt... pulling it off of him.

Ashley, wrapped her hands back around his waist. She knew he couldn't feel her touch, but his skin was so warm and inviting, she slowly ran her hands up his back. She stopped momentarily when she reached the base of his scar, her index finger then tracing it upward, her lips still burried in the crook of his neck.

Jimmy's breath hitched when Ashley's finger neared the top of his scar. He stopped kissing her and laid his forehead on her shoulder. She placed her hand flat against his back, her fingers touching the small puckered spot where the bullet had entered.

Jimmy pulled away. "Ashley, I can't do this", he gasped, looking around the room for his discarded t-shirt. "What, why not?", Ashley asked, moving a little closer and chuckling a bit. "Jimmy, if you want to slow down...I understand...".

"Ash, I can't. Okay?", he repeated, gently pushing her back. "I can't", he emphasized, loudly. Ashley gave him a small sympathetic smile and brushed her fingers across his cheek. "Jimmy. it's okay..."

Jimmy flinched at her touch. "I'm a virgin, don't you get it?", he said angrily. "I've never done this before, and now...I don't know what to expect...or even if ...maybe you should just go", he stuttered, becoming frustrated with his disability.

"Fine, if that's what you want", Ashley replied as she hastily got up from the couch. "I'm sorry Ash...things are just different for me", he whispered from the couch, just as Ashley reached the door. She sighed heavily and turned around; his back was to her, he was hunched over with his head in his hands.

Ashley walked back to the couch and sat down next to him. He sat up a bit, but didn't look at her. She took both of his hands in hers. "Jimmy, I know all of this", she assured him. "What kind of girlfriend would I be, to date a guy, confined to a wheelchair and not know anything about his condition?", she asked rhetorically.

Jimmy looked at her questionably. "I've done my research and honestly Jimmy, it doesn't bother me", she added with a smile. "Well, it bothers me", Jimmy replied angrily, pulling his hands from her grasp and looking away. "You've been with Craig...what if I'm not enough for you...what if I can't be what you need?", he whispered, his voice taking on a tone Ashley had never heard before.

"Is that what you're worried about, pleasing me?", she asked seriously. Jimmy shook his head in frustration. "It's not just that Ash...this will never be 'normal' for us. We can never be spontaneous or daring...everything has to be planned out...timing is a factor...", he sighed heavily. "...just another one of the endless chores that go along with being with me", he ended, bitterly.

Ashley felt a lump rise in her throat. "But Jimmy, I want to be with you...in every way...". Jimmy took in a sharp breath. "Why?", he asked quietly. Ashley smiled and relaxed, cuddling into his side. "Because you're funny, smart, creative, sweet, illeagally handsome, a perfect gentleman, you get great parking spots...", she chuckled at the last line.

"But Ash...", he protested. "I'm not finished", she interrupted. "And, I love you", she stated, softly kissing his cheek, Jimmy closed his eyes. "Which is why we're gonna take this slow", she added with a smile.

Jimmy slowly opened his eyes, Ashley noticed the faintest sign of tears in them, she held him tightly. "I love you too, Ash", he whispered, his voice cracking a bit. In all the years she'd known Jimmy, Ashley had never once seen him cry...he came close a few times; when she broke up with him the first time, the day his grandfather died, at the rehab center once, while she was visiting him.

Ashley rubbed her thumb across his cheek, catching the tear before it fell. They sat in an awkward silence for a few seconds before she started to button up his shirt that she was wearing. She bent down to pick up his t-shirt and handed it to him and waited sliently as he put it back on.

"What'd you say we get a little more practice in before my mom comes to pick me up?", Ashley, asked sweetly, looking at the clock. Jimmy smiled slightly and nodded. They both leaned forward, their lips meeting in the middle.

----------------------------------------------------

Okay guys... I just watched the premier, and it was awsome...of course. But the best part was that commercial of previews. Woohoo, Jimmy with no shirt! So I added a few things from that commercial, and of course, put my spin on it. I'm a little nervous about the show though...when Jimmy tells Ashley to go, she looks really pissed. I hope the writers didn't just get them together, to break them up again...they are the most perfect/beautiful couple and I would be so devastated if they didn't end up together.(okay, end of rant one).

Clarification...Since Jimmy is a virgin(which I didn't know, until I saw that commercial), we'll say that he didn't mention that to Spinner in the last chapter because he was embarrased, and uncomfortable talking about it. I'm also not sure of the physical/sexual issues Jimmy would face...so I had to wing it, hope I wasn't too far off.(end of rant two)

Next chapter...the whole race thing did not happen yet, because I need Sean to be at school in the next chapter...you'll see why soon!

Reviews...Samitiny, thank you so much for that great, great review.
