Chapter: TWO

     As they are enjoying the food, Ash starts to catch wind of a odd smell that is or could be the best she has ever smelled in her entire life. 'What is that amazing smell?' She thought to herself as she looked around for the source. Pine wood forest mixed with fresh rain fall. 

     Ash sat frozen in her seat as she watched three God-like men walk through the door to the game room. They are pretty tall and very, very muscular. The one guy caught sight of Ash looking right at her, and stopped suddenly causing his friends to almost run right into the back of him.

     He looked to be maybe 6'5" and in his early 20s. The other two were a bit shorter but just as good looking. Hell, even Kim and Toni were drooling over them. The taller guy leaned over to his friends and said something, but whatever that was had the other two smile. 'Nope, not creepy at all.' Ash had thought to herself again.

     The man's beautiful deep ocean blue eyes were starting to make Ash feel as though she might drown if she didn't look away, but as she started to turn her attention to somewhere else, but it almost looked as if the man's eyes changed to almost black. That scared the hell out of her, but at the same time, she also had this overwhelming urge to just run and jump right into his strong arms. 

     'What in the hell is wrong with me?!' She said in a whispered voice. Hoping that no one heard her. Ash go up finally and went over to the pool table to set up a new game. The man with the ocean blue eyes came closer and picked out a pool stick for himself and started the game off with the first break. While watching, Ash was having a hard time controlling her own thoughts from running wild.

     Once it was her turn, she walked around the table looking for the perfect shot. The guy then broke the silence between them first, "My name is Richard Morris, but most just call me Rick." He says 'UGH' Ash grunted as she somehow managed to miss her shot. 

     This man, with his deep sexy voice just literally melted her right into a giant puddle right where she was standing. Looking over to her friends to see them talking to the guys two friends. Of course they all happen to be looking in their direction with huge smiles on their faces.

     A little while later, Ash was able to pull herself together long enough to finish the game."You're one hell of a pool player love!" 'OHHH Lord please help' was the look on her face, but thankfuly she once again pulled herself together.

     "Thanks, you are pretty good as well." She says. Ash can feel her face and cheeks start to heat up from the on coming blush. Rick just winked and smiled. Suddenly they hear someone yell. 'WOOOO!.'  Ash looks to see the others still smiling at her and Rick. Ash rolls her eyes and sticks out her tongue.

     "I would love to see you anain, umm, I'm sorry but you haven't told me your name love," Rick says with a big beautiful smile. Unfortunately, Ash just stood there with her mouth open but no words came out. 'Oh, just great, now I've gone mute!' Ash thought, but thank god for Kim and Toni for noticing and stepping up beside her. "Her name is Ashley, Ash for short." Kim says while both her and Toni look to Ash with small smiles.

     "That's a beautiful name, just as beautiful as you love." Rick grabs a napkin and finds a pen to write down something. "Here love, this is my cell number. You can call and text me any time day or night. I would love for us to get to know each other and see where it takes us." He says while handing Ash the napkin, she finally snapped out of it and smiled up at him. "I think that is a really good idea," Ash says as they all head out to go home.
