Ashley was not a morning person. Which is the reason she has several alarms set to go off way before she needs to get up. She reaches out from under her comforter as her alarm goes off and slaps it for the third time. She groans and throws the covers back and throws her legs over and sits up rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. She then slowly drags herself into the kitchen to start the Keurig, then heads into her room to start the shower. Pulling off her pajamas she climbed into the shower, and let the cool water wash over her body in hopes it would wake her up. She washed her hair then used her favorite coconut and pineapple body wash to wash her body with. She climbed out of the shower wrapping herself in a warm towel and headed into her bedroom to get ready for the day. Once she finished getting dressed and putting on her make up, she headed into the kitchen to fix her a cup of coffee in a travel mug and something to eat. Leaving a note for Jean to have a good afternoon and evening at work and to remind her of her date tonight, she grabbed her things and headed into work.

"Good Morning Mrs. Cline!" She said as she headed off to her class room after checking her mail box in the office. She set her things on her desk and began to get her room ready for the day before her students started arriving. As she was getting ready she heard her phone alert her that she had a text message.

Good Morning, chere. I hope you have a wonderful day and can't wait to see you tonight.-Adam

Good morning, sugar. Hope you have a great day too. Can't wait for tonight either. - Ashley

It was an uneventful day as she went through her lesson plan, served lunch and set the children down for a nap. Soon it was time for them to go home and she packed up her things, cleaned up her room and headed home. As she walked in the door she laid her keys by the door and dropped her bag on the kitchen table, and headed to her room to get ready. After washing her face and freshening up a bit, she went into her closet to pick out something to wear for the evening. She found a nice sundress and a ccx twist pair of sandals. She then went to put on fresh makeup, and fix her hair. She decided to let it down and fixed her natural curls. She then sprayed on her favorite body spray. Just wash she finished putting on her jewelry she heard a knock at the door. "Right on time." She thought to herself as she went to open the door.
"Hello, chere."Adam said with a smile as he looked up and down her body as he licked his bottom lip. He pulled her into a hug and inhaled her scent. He loved her smell of coconut and pineapple. It reminded him of a warm summer day.

"Well, hello handsome." She said as she admired what she saw. He wore a nice button down shirt and form fitting jeans. "Like what you see?"
"I most definitely do. Are you ready to go?"

"Yes, let me grab my purse and lock up"

As they got to his car, he opened the door to let her in and closed it for her, then ran to the driver's side and climbed in. The ride was quiet. He had rested his hand on the console between them and without thinking she laid her hand on his lazily drawing circles with her thumb.
What is this woman doing to me? He thought. She turns me on with the slightest touch. I wish I could have more of her, but I cant be that douche, when I am leaving tomorrow. I just want so much more time with her. They arrived at the restaurant and found a place to park. He quickly ran around to open her door as she got out. As they walked in he placed his hand on the small of her back guiding her, and she could feel the heat from his touch. Her heart stayed beating faster as she tried to control her breathing. He had called earlier in the day and had made a reservation so they were immediately taken to their table. The waitress took their drink orders and headed back to the kitchen.

"You know, I would have never thought that we would have gotten this far, I thought when I bumped into you the other day would have been it, a chance encounter, and nothing more. In fact I thought maybe you were annoyed with the little nerdy girl that had made you late for your appearance. I am so glad that Redd made me go out the other night." She said as she blushed.

"To tell you de truth, chere, I never thought I would see you again either. When I went to visit my family at the restaurant and Shel set me down with y'all, I thought I recognized you, but wasn't sure. When I finally realized who you were, I was so happy. When you bumped into me that day, and I loo km ed into your beautiful eyes, I just had to know more."

The waitress came back with their dri is and then took their food orders. She then headed back to the kitchen, leaving them alone. They sat and talked, learning more about each other. Eventually their meal came. They are and talked more. After they had finished and were ready to go, he paid for the meal and they headed out to the door again for her. After she was settled and went around to the driver's side, climbed in and started the car. As he drove back to her house he placed his hand on her thigh.She could feel the heat from his hand as he drew circles with his thumb.She could feel the heat travel up her thigh to her core and with that simple touch she could feel herself getting wet. She realized that she was catching feelings for him and they hadn't even kissed yet. She had to reel herself in before she got hurt, but she couldn't tell herself no. She had to have him even if it was for only one night. Before she realized it that were back at her house and he was opening the door for her. He walked her to the front door.

"Would you like to come in for a bit, maybe watch a movie? I'm not ready for this night to end." She said with a smile.

'I would love to. I'm not ready for it to end either."

She unlocked the door and they went inside, and he took a seat on the couch.

"Would you like anything to drink? She asked taking off her sandals as she headed into the kitchen.

"A beer if you have any." He answered.

"You got it." She said as she grabbed two beers and headed back into the living room. She placed them on the coffee table and went to put on a movie in the DVD player and then sat down beside him. "So you never told me how you got into doing this comic book convention?"
"Well, my best friend and I are writing a comic book together and we both saw an ad in this magazine that was being published at his grandpa's pub lishing company looking for people that could pass for certain comic book characters. We thought it looked like gun and we said, why not. We are hoping that maybe one of the big comic book companies will pick it up, if not then we go with his grandpa and start there. I know it sounds silly but it's what we really want to do and this tour is just a way to make a little extra. Since we work with his grandpa, he was okay with us going away for awhile."

"That sounds like fun, and I don't think any of it sounds silly. It's your passion and something you really want to do. I think it's really cool that you are trying to follow your dreams." She said as she snuggled into his chest and he wrapped his arm around her caressing it. They watched the movie for awhile before he asked another question.
