Today she took a break from her usual job so that meant she went back to the Manor with him, fingers interlocked.

       She had a shy smile on and a blush forming, her mind jumping with ecstasy. She had never dreamed that this would be her reality. That she would end up dating the hottest, most popular guy in  her school. But to her, he was just Ash. Her Ash now.

     "So... am I ever going to meet this legendary twin of yours?" She asked eagerly. Maybe just wanting to prove the right and the wrong. "Ah! That's  Bad luck! He just went back to school."

    She turned towards him , stopping their slow romantic walk. Her hands went up to his collar and pulled him towards her. "So then, Mr Bolt, how do I believe you?" She whispered into his ear. 

Even though he was getting a little turned on because of this, he tried to play it out casually. "So then what do you want me to do?" He breathed out as his hands go to her narrow sides. 

"Nah, I believe you!" She let out as she softly pushed him away and resumed their walk back to his house. 

    A few weeks pass by and she gets closer, not just emotionally but also physically. In fact she  got more and more comfortable with each and every move of his. 

       You know, every adolescent  in it's time has the wild lust of getting intimate with the opposite sex. Exceptions of course. And Cassandra felt like her meter was empty  and maybe that it wasn't too late to fill it.  Like every time, his skin brushed against hers, she felt like she was in heaven as she felt the special tingles. 

Does it feel like this every time?, she wondered.   More over,  what would it feel like if it went a little more heated?

      For some reason, she also realised that Ash had turned out to be her first crush. In fact, she never had time for crushes before. It was only studies, studies and studies:- her main priority. 

     I mean, its not that boys haven't tried to talk to her. She just chose to concentrate on something that was more useful to her in life. Studies.

    She was sure then but now her path began to sway. Her future began to get blur. Her focus was getting lost. And no more could she see the clear cut path in front of her.

 Was it only because she introduced something called love in her life?

   She was kinda forced to by fate, if she tried to resist, then the spice of life would be lost and her life life would have only one monotonous tune which only Love had the magic to change. 

    Her parents would never understand but some how it was  coming to her, how much she actually need it. And she was happy that it was Love that was her distraction. For she concluded 'There is no success without some sort of distraction.'

    So as usual, in school, Ash would remain with his buddies and Cass was stuck with her books.  They both acted aloof, like they never knew each other, just how it was previously. Sure, they shared smiles and glances, wave at sight and maybe offer help. But they did have different reasons to stay away. They just didn't let the other know.

    Ash thought that his interaction with her would just be another distraction from her studies while Cassandra thought that if she was publicly seen in with him, he would just lose his respect in front of his friends.

    But when they came back at home, they were back to the dating phase. they would have their serious study time as well as fun. 

     As in, while watching movies, they would  cuddle under a blanket with a huge bucket of popcorn, a mix of caramel and cheese. 

     When they would watch old romantic classics, he would keep rolling his eyes and would watch her instead  who  would have a change of emotion every few seconds,  something Ash found really adorable.

    When they would end up watching horror, she would hold on to his arm and squeeze her eyes shut till she fell asleep. But under the blanket, their legs would tangle into each other and the fingers interlocked.

     Together, they also loved  dancing like crazy people  on any tune worth dancing on. They didn't care about what the other thought. As long as they were having fun, nothing else mattered. Ash also had her reveal the 'wild side' of her, proving  that the nerd image is only the cover.

     Then came the shopping. Ash had to keep pulling Cass for shopping and she absolutely hated it. He kept spending money on her like it's supply had no end and she didn't like it, for the simple reason that when she was a kid, she had always held it together that she would be independent. 

      But now he was trying to break her faith apart, which made her feel like a spoilt brat, which was exactly what she hated and he loved.

      He had only one complaint against her:- her every day boring clothes. One of the reason why he loved taking her shopping.

    He used to hate it when everyday she entered  with  the same old white blouse, same old black skirt and same old accessories. 

And to put an end to this madness, Cass had to actually start wearing tight clothes under her uniform so that he wouldn't complain. And that began to define her curves, everyone in the cafe could notice it, including Richard.

   Even study times turned interesting. Ash thought that since they were dating, she would relax with the 'study timings'  but she was strict as ever. And she had the right to be as well. But the only difference  was that , it just turned out to be sexy.

      For every right answer , she would drop one thing of her body. But for every wrong one, she would put one on again. Soon Ash was eager for the these quizzes even though she kept using unfair means. 

   Like when he actually gave a right answer, instead of removing her blouse , she would just pull out a clip or remove one of her ear rings. For the first few times, Ash would protest but then soon learnt  to cope up with it. He was just too eager to get it all right so he could get beneath all those clothes. But he noticed that she would only end up with her thin bra and her panty on, just no more. And then quickly she would slip her clothes on, with a naughty smile.

    Soon her first kiss was to follow. One day, she was studying with a book in her hand and pacing around. Suddenly out of no where, she stops, places her book down and sits down, still muttering. Ash sat there, looking at her intently. It was really irritating him the way she was pacing around. So he leans forward. She doesn't notice. Slowly his lips come in contact with hers, breaking her concentration.

     He pulled back back,  awaiting for the hard, stinging sensation on his cheek. But that didn't happen. For she pulled him, letting him continue what he wanted. Her hands slipped around his neck while his hands went down to her sides, pulling her close.

    After a few moments of the sweet lip-locking, she pulled  back and looked at him, questioningly. "Not Bad." He remarked with a smirk. "First time, what did you expect?" She shrugged. " It was better when you were drunk." "Then get me drunk, Mr Bolt." She slurred seductively as she got up and sat on his lip, pulled him by the collar and pressed her lips against his.
