A Drive

Ashley slips into the car of the person who is parked in front of her.  She doesn't know who he is, she just knows he has a nice car.  The guy gives her the eye -  Ashley grows nervous and she licks her lips.

"Hey, you asked me in don't ask me out again;"  she tells him.

"I'm Jack;"  tells the guy.

"Oh hey Jack;"  greets Ashley.  "I'm Ashley;"

"Do you want to go to a hotel with me?"  asks Jack as he raises his brows at Ashley's too revealing outfit.

"Sure, hotels are nice;"  tells Ashley as she smiles over her shy.

"Then let's go;" mutters Jack before he revs the car and drives on.

Lights blue on all sides of the car.  They burn bright and feel warm even through the glass of the car.  Ashley feels like she is floating near the moon, and then a turn around a curb and she gasps at the fancy hotel that shows its face.

"Are we going in here?"  asks Ashley with a raise of brows.

"Yes;"  tells Jack as he stops.

A valet come and greets the visitors.  Jack looks Ashley up and down and he raises his brows before he picks up his coat from the back seat.  

"Here put this on;"  tells Jack.  "It'll cover your outfit;"

"Don't you like my outfit?"  asks Ashley.

"It's too much;"  tells Jack.  "Put the jacket on then follow me.

Ashley does so, and she follows Jack straight into the hotel where lights blare through chandeliers.

After checking in the two go to the elevator.  They catch a ride to the top floor and then they wander inside a room.  Jack looks to Ashley as she fingers a bouquet of flowers.

"You want to go to bed with them?"  he asks.

"No;"  mutters Ashley before she lifts her eyes.

"It was a joke;"  tells Jack.  "You stroke them very lovely;"  he adds.

Ashley smiles and then she moves on to sit on the cough nearby.

"I'm sorry;" she mutters as she fingers her nerves.  "What do you want now that I am here?"  she asks.

"Just your company;"  tells Jack.  "Sit down and relax, watch tv, I'll go to my room to make a call and be back;"  he tells her.

Ashley smiles.  She then looks to the side and sees a bowl of chocolates.  She eats a couple, before she heads to the  bar fridge to see if there are any drinks.  She finds some.  She picks her choices and then she returns to the couch where she waits.  While waiting she falls asleep.

Ashley wakes and stretches.  It is morning and she is still alone.  Ashley wrinkles her nose and then she walks to the bedroom.  She tries to open it -  it is locked.  Ashley shrugs and moves to have a shower.  Once clean she orders breakfast of pancakes and toast.  After eating she watches tv.  Then with tension on her brow she returns to the bedroom to knock.

Jack answers the knock and he raises his brows. 

"Give me some time;"  he mutters before he closes the door.

Ashley sits on the couch and she plays with her hair.  She grows bored many times and within hours she decides to leave.

Ashley walks through the foyer and out the front door.  Without her  jacket her outfit grabs the attention of eyes and stares.  Ashley does not care, and she walks outside to wait for a bus.  The day is hot, Ashley wishes for sun-cream but she has none so she sits int he shade.

Jack races up to her and he tells her to stop -  but that is only inside of her mind, as soon as the bus comes she hops on it and leaves.

A guy looks at Ashley and he touches her shoulder.

"Want to go out for breakfast?"  he asks.

"No;"  tells Ashley as she glares at the guy.  "I've just come back from a date;"  she adds with some pout.

She wishes she were back there in the hotel room.  But it being so vacant of company she knows she can't stay -  she has stuff to do, places to go, kitchens to clean.  Ashley sighs.  She has nothing to do, she is just going home to watch TV on the couch, she will not even have a person behind the vacant rooms.

"I would have stayed, but I was bored;"  she mutters as she plays with her hair.

Ashley returns to her flat and she gasps at the car parked outside.  It doesn't fit with the neighbourhood -  it is clean, attractive, sleek; Ashley walks up to the car and Jack slips out of it.

"You left your drivers license on the table;"  he tells her.

Ashley laughs and smiles.  She is so glad he has found her.  All emotions turn to joy that she will not have to spend the afternoon alone.

"I've finished with my business - want to go out for late-lunch?"  asks Jack.

"Sure!"  sings Ashley as she shrugs.  "A late lunch is just as good as dinner!"  she adds.

Jack laughs.  Inside his car  they slip and then revs the car as it drives down the street.
