“I’m so sorry Ashley…”

“It’s ok Spence…I will just tell everyone that my girlfriend mistook me for a big turkey sandwich…” She said smiling at me.

“You are not going to tell anyone that…” I said buttoning up my pants and crossing my arms.

She moved over to me and took me in her arms. “Ok…I won’t tell them that.”

“Thank you.” I said kissing her softly.

“I’ll just tell them you thought I was a ham sandwich…better?” She said smiling widely.

“Ashley!” I exclaimed loudly. I was so embarrassed by my actions that I hid myself away for the rest of the day. I saw Aiden and Kyla smirking slightly when I ran into them after school and I quickly ran over to Ashley’s car to hide.

“What did you tell them?” I asked when she walked up.

“I didn’t tell them anything!” She said throwing her hands up in the air.

“Yeah sure that’s why they keep looking at me like I’m some kind of freak right?”

“Aww baby…you are a freak…”

“I am not!” I said crossing my arms.

“Yes you are…and that’s why I love you. We should get freaky at lunch more often.”

“Keep that up and we won’t be getting freaky at all.” I said pointing at her.

“That wouldn’t happen.” She said confidently.

“And why is that?” I asked raising my eyebrow.

She held out her hands and smiled down at them. “Because these…are gorgeous.”

I smiled at the memory of that day and remembered how right Ashley was. She definitely had some gorgeous hands and still did.

I looked at the clock and saw that the thirty minutes had passed and decided to go ahead and head over to pick Ashley up.

I grabbed my briefcase, purse, and keys and locked my office. I started down the hallway and groaned when I heard my boss calling me.

“Carlin!”

I walked slowly to his office and looked inside. He was sitting behind his monstrous desk and was tossing a baseball up and down into the air.

“Oh good…so I need those contracts on my desk by five today. Think that is possible?” He asked me never taking his eyes off the ball that was going up and down in the air.

“No problem…” I said backing out.

“Carlin!”

“Yes?” I asked getting a bit exasperated.

“You heading out for lunch?” He asked finally taking his eyes off the ball.

“I’m meeting someone.” I said quickly.

“Well it’s good to hear that…you need to get out more…” He said starting to throw the ball up and down again.

“Don’t worry…that shouldn’t be a problem anymore.” I said smiling and heading out to my car.

I started up my mustang and couldn’t help but smile as I pulled out of my parking space and headed towards Ashley’s.
