-Suki

Ashlee sighed, and rolled over in bed. Her long, caramel colored hair was draped over her face like a blanket. She pushed her bangs out of her eyes, and curled into a ball.

Today I'm going to hang out with Max, Ray, and Kai.

Kai….

A smile played on Ashlee lips, and she could feel her face turn red.

He is so cute, but I cant let him know I'm interested. Even though I called him beautiful, which ya know, probably lets the kid know I think he's a Greek God, but whatever.

Ashlee cell phone rang, and she frowned when it read TYSON.

"The hell does he want? Too bad I'm not answering…"

Stretching, she got up and took a quick shower and got dressed. She wore a dark grey mini dress with black zebra stripes. She didn't bother putting her hair up in a ponytail or at least putting back her bangs with a cute clip. She felt lazy today, and just left it down, flowing elegantly behind her.

Ashlee skipped downstairs, expecting to see her father. Sighing with annoyance, she picked up the note he had left on the kitchen counter. "He left for work early. How nice, thanks a bunch Dad."

She quickly dialed Rays number, and he answered on the first ring.

"Hey."

"Hey, um what time am I meeting you guys?"

Ray yelled something to Max, who answered back.

"Um… whatever you want. Just txt me and let me know ok?"

Ashlee smiled, he's so relaxed.

"Sure thing. See you in a few."

"Oh Ash, Tyson's coming too."

Ashlee suppressed a groan, "How nice. I can hardly wait to see him."

Ray laughed, "Well, it should be an interesting afternoon."

"Indeed," Ashlee murmured.

After she hung up, she skipped breakfast, too excited at the though of seeing to Kai to care for food, which was rare for her, and ran out the front door.

"Ok, so I keep going down this block, and then make a right…" Ashlee shook her head. How was she going to find where to meet Ray and the others?

She could feel herself getting frustrated and she pouted, "Stupid Japan! Why doesn't everything have to be in freaking symbols? They don't even make any sense!" Ashlee ran her fingers through her hair and kicked a pole, feeling childish, but not caring what anyone thought.

Several people had stopped and stared. And two middle aged men smiled and one man rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Ashlee glared daggers, and frowned, "The hells he looking…"

He nudged his friend, who laughed, and walked over. He muttered something happily in Japanese and grabbed Ashlees' ass.

Ashlee could feel every nerve in her body boil. "THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE MOTHER EFFING ASS IS DOING?!"

Before the man could even react, Ashlees fist was crushing his nose into his face, a loud crunch echoing in the suddenly silent street, blood splattering on the sidewalk. The man groaned in pain, clutching his face for dear life.

"Touch me again, and it wont just be your nose that I'm breaking!"

She stormed off, pushing through the other two men, whose mouths were gaping in shock.

"And stop groaning, I didn't even hit you that hard, ya whiny bitch!"

Ashlee cussed more under her breathe, and sat down on a nearby bench, shutting her eyes till the red fire in the blood began to slowly fade away.

A warm, strong hand grabbed hold of Ashlees shoulder, and her hand shot up, palm smashing against someones nose.

"Ash, are you okay?" Maxs shocked voice wondered.

Ashlee opened her eyes, and her head shot up. "Max! Ray!" She turned to her right, to find Kai, an enormous smirk on his face.

"WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

Tyson stood up, holding his nose, " You are, by far, the most abnormal girl, I've ever met!"

Ashlees jaw dropped open, "I… I'm sorry Tyson. I didn't know it was you!"

Laughing, Max put a friendly arm around Ashlee, "He's fine Ash. He's just trying hard not to cry."

"Max, shut the hell up!"

Tysons eyes found Kai, and he spat, "What's so damn funny?!"

Ashlee looked at Kai, and Kai smiled. "Nothing."

Ray sighed, "Okay, okay. Enough drama. Tyson, cut it out. She hardly hit you. Max, we all know it's funny, but stop laughing. Could we go now?"

Tyson frowned, "Fine. Whatever."

Ashlee walked quietly behind the guys, eyes wandering.

Ray stopped, "Ash, you find a store?"

Ashlee smiled shyly, "No. Not yet."

"Are these not expensive enough for you?" Kai teased.

Blushing, Ashlee tucked her a strand of hair behind her pierced ear, "Nah, just haven't found the right one."

Tyson frowned, noticing the red in Ashlees tanned, beautiful face. "Yeah, well, could you pick a store?"

Ashlee glared, "Hey! Don't bug me! Shoppings a big deal to us woman, so shut up, and be patient!"

Kai smiled, and Max laughed loudly. "Oh man, Ashlee, I just adore you."

Ashlee put her hands on her hips, and then, her brilliant chocolate eyes lit up on fire.

"That's it! I've found it!"

All four guys looked to their right, and found a hardware store.

Ray smiled uncomfortably, "This Is the most expensive hardware store here, are you sure you want to buy something?"

"Are you insane? If whatever your buying costs too much, we're not helping you and…"

But Tyson stopped when he saw the enormous smile on Ashlees face.

"You guys go on ahead, just let me know where you are okay?" She waved and began walking into the store, but Kai grabbed her wrist.

"Kai?"

"I'll stay here with her. The city at night can be an unsafe place for someone so beautiful." He paused to watch her eyes grow wide, and her cheeks flush red, once again.

"We'll catch up with you guys later."

Tyson steamed.

"Whatever. Let's go…"

Ashlee smiled shyly, and her heart was racing. Kai let go of her wrist, and smiled politely, "I'll be right here on this bench if you need anything, okay?"

Nodding, she murmured, "Okay…"

About four hours later, Ashlee walked out of the store, a pleased grin on her face. "I'm sorry I took so long Kai, but I found it! The perfect gift!"

Man, she sure knows how to take her time shopping.

Kai shook his head, "No need to apologize. I'm glad you found what you were looking for. Was It expensive?"

Ashlee shifted uncomfortably, "Not really. I mean, it wasn't cheap, but I know Tyson's going to love it."

"Tyson?"

"Yes, I know I've been… sort of a pain, but I want him to know, that I do like him, as a friend, obviously. I thought this gift would help. Besides, I'm lucky, it was the last one there!"

Kai studied this girl in front of him, out of breathe from talking, her bangs fluttering in her face, a genuine and beautiful smile on her tanned face, and he sighed contently.

"Shall I walk you home? Ray called earlier, they're already home."

Ashlee smacked her forehead, "Oh wow! I had no idea it had gotten so late!"

Then, she turned so red, Kai wondered if she suddenly had gotten sick.

"What's wrong?"

"Kai, I made you wait for four hours! I'm so sorry…"

Kai reached up, and stroked the side of her face.

"Ashlee, let me walk you home."

"Wha? But Kai, I'm sure you're tired. I don't want to make you…"

Kai leaned in, his steel grey eyes piercing into Ashlees, "You owe me."

She nodded dizzily, "Oh, right. Okay."

The walk home was long, but the night was warm, and the air smelled of fresh cut grass, and you could practically smell summer.

"So, what was the move like?"

Ashlee looked up, "From America to here?"

No, from the border of Canada. Jeez Ashlee!

"Uhm. Yes, that move."

Ashlee was thankful it was dark out, where Kai wouldn't be able to see her scarlet face.

"Uh, it was hard in the beginning, but I got used to, because I met you guys. And also, it's thanks to Tyson…"

Now Kai was surprised, "Thanks to Tyson?"

Ashlee nodded, and looked up, "Well, Tyson sort of started the whole argument with me that day. If he hadn't said something, I would have never gotten the guts to talk to you guys or anything. It's really thanks to him, I was able to get the courage and just, be me around you guys. So that's another reason I got him that gift."

Kai stopped, and Ashlee realized they were at her front gate.

Kai smiled at Ashlee, She's always thinking of someone else...

"Thats very thoughtful of you. I'm sure whateve you got Tyson, he'll love."

Beaming, Ashlee nodded, "I sure hope so."

"Thanks for walking me home Kai, I'll see you tomorrow at the barbaque."

He pushed a strand of caramel hair out of Ashlees face, and leaned in to whisper,

"Anytime sweetheart."

Then, his lips brushed from her jawline, to the corner of her own lips, and he lightly kissed her.

Not excatly her cheek, not excatly her lips, leaving Ashlee a bit stunned.

"O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard.
Being in night, all this is but a dream,
Too flattering-sweet to be substantial."

Ashlee faintly remembers the lines spoken by Romeo, in Shakespeares tragic love story.

Kai stroked her cheek, and Ashlee murmured,

"Good night, good night! parting is such
sweet sorrow... "

Thank God for English class! Ashlee cheered in her mind.

Kai smiled, and pressed his lips on Ashlees forehead, "Indeed it is."

Then, as swiftly as all of that had happened, it was over, and Kai walked the opposite dirction.

The intercom on the gate of Ashlees house, suddenly beeped, and her fathers booming voice was heard. "ARE YOU GOING TO STAND THERE ALL NIGHT?!"

Ashlee jumped, and her heart flew to her throat. She forgot the gate was still closed, and slammed right into it.

"OW!"

Blushing even more then when Kai kissed her, she looked around, hoping no one saw, opened the gate, and ran into her house, shaken from the expeirance with Kai, and her father scaring the bejesus out of her.

"Daddy! Why'd you do that?!" Ashlee screech, sliding off her boots, and storming into the kitchen. Mitchell laughed, while his wife, rolled her eyes behind him.

"You should have seen your face, it was priceless!"

Ashlee flushed, "It was not the least bit funny!"

But that made her Dad laugh even louder, wiping at tears that formed at the corners of his eyes. Ashlee walked over to her Mother, and hugged her tightly, pressing up on her tippy toes, to peck her Mothers flawless skin.

"Honey, I'll talk to your Father, why don't you take a nice shower, and go to bed?"

She shrugged, "Yeah, I guess."

"Did you have a nice time?"

"Sure the hell did!" Ashlee smiled.

Ashlees mother had her long, blonde hair pulled back into a messy, but cute bun. She had the brightest green eyes, and a smile that could warm even the coldest of hearts.

"Bella, honey, you would be laughing too if you saw the shock on Ashlees face!"

Isabella Mitchell frowned at her big kid of a husband, "I don't think so sweetheart."

Mitchell smiled, his blue eyes twinkling, "Liar."

He turned his attention to Ashlee, "Go shower honey, you look tired."

Ashlee stared at her blonde, blue/green eyed parents, and wished she could look like them.

No, they weren't her biological parents, but that fact never bothered Ashlee, because from the beginning, she knew that these two wonderful, people, were her real parents.

"Yeah, I guess I will. Night, love you." She turned, and walked down the hall.

A chorus of, "Night, Love you too," was heard as Ashlee slowly walked up stairs.

While lying in bed, Ashlee thought of Kai, whispering Romeos lines, and the way her skin was covered with goosebumps, and how she shivered, despite the warmth of the summer night.

"Hot damn...." She whispered to no one in particular.

She smiled at herself for remembering Juliets lines, and pumped a fist in the darkness of her room. "Hell yeah!"

Then, the hetic day got to the fifteen year old, and her body thanked her for the calm darkness that evenveloped her.
