Competing for a Title

Three - What a walk

After being introduced to the staff and shown around the kitchen Sally had taken her to her room. Because she was not a permanent part of the staff she was housed in a different wing of the mansion. The guest wing to be exact. There was a long hallway that looked as though it only led to four rooms. Sally opened the door and handed her the key.

" The bed has been freshly made and there are clean linen and toiletries in the bathroom closet. We want to get an early start on breakfast so please meet the staff in the kitchen at five am." With that, she left out the room closing the door behind her. The room was not a room at all. It was more like an apartment. there was a huge king-sized bed up against the wall with a pedestal at the foot. there was a walk-in closet that she would never be able to fill even if she and her roommate were to both moves in. In another room was a sitting area. Placed in the corner were a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.

The bathroom was the holy grail. There was a giant jacuzzi tub that had tons of jets around it. There were tons of built-in shower heads strategically placed throughout the stone-tiled walls leading up to the ceiling. Right in the middle of the ceiling was a huge hidden shower head that looked as though it was made for two.

She decided that she would run her a bath and take this time to relax. Because no one still didn't have details of what's to come she thought it best to take it easy. Nothing would be better than a hot bath and a good book.

As she lay in the bed trying her best to go to sleep she just kept thinking about him. How was it possible for a daydream to feel so real and why did it have to happen right then? That's not how she imagined their first meeting would be. She couldn't even call that a meeting because she just stood there bumbling like an i***t. She felt like such a fool.

She imagined how his lips tasted against her tongue and how his hands felt on her skin. She felt herself getting hot. She threw the covers off of her and sat up and got out of the bed. Maybe I just need some air to clear my head or something. She got dressed grabbed a small bag and placed her essentials inside. she didn't want any problems getting back inside the mansion.

As she's walking someone zooms past her on a motorcycle and almost knocks her down but managed to get her with the puddle of water.

" Hey what is your problem? Slow down jerk!"

" My apologies miss. Did I hurt you?", he asked walking up to her with his helmet still on.

"No I'm not hurt thankfully but -" when he took his helmet off she saw that it was Alexander. "oh my god. Mr. Bright!", she said as she began to turn around and runoff.

" Hey, your the mystery girl from the dining room earlier. Why are you out here this time of night?"

"Are we not allowed out after dark?", she asked hoping she wasn't breaking any rules. She didn't actually read everything in the contract as skimming through and grabbing key details on the first day usually worked for her. She was going to take the time to read it more carefully to make sure she understood all the dos and don'ts later.

"uh yeah that actually only makes one of us," he said crossing one arm around him and using the other hand to rub his chin. " I'm actually not supposed to be out after dark or at all in that case. "

"is that why no one seems to be able to find you"

"Yeah, sort of. so ill actually appreciate it if you pretend you never saw me at all today."

She didn't really understand his motives," you mean like earlier today either? "

"yes, earlier today or now if you don't mind."

"Well it's not my place to tell anyone anything so I guess your secrets are safe with me Mr. Bright"

"Alexander or just call me Alex. And what do I call you?:

"You can call me Ashley Mr.. uh sorry Alex. And I'm sorry I yelled at you. I had no idea it was you on that bike. I promise I'm that rude of a person like that, " she went on trying to explain shift on one foot.

"it's quite alright actually. And I prefer the honesty of it all. It seems as though people always tiptoeing around me."

Feeling a bit of relief, " oh ok well I guess that a good thing, and you're not going to fire me?"

He burst out laughing. After seeing the look on her face," sorry about that. I'm not laughing at you. just the situation. this day has been hell and both times I've run into you you've managed to completely change my mood."

A little thrown back and confused by that, " uh in a good way?"

" Yes, definitely a good way. Thank you Ash"

Ash? He had given her a nickname and it make her insides feel tingly. He had no idea how something so simple made her fall for him even more.

"No, no problem," she managed to get out as her teeth clattered and she caught a chill.

"oh damn you're freezing. I didn't even realize that I had splashed you" He had taken off his jacket and as he went to put it around her she darted out of the way of it. The motion of him taking it off sent a whiff of him her way and instantly brought her back to the many nasty thoughts she had of him on a daily. She couldn't dare walk around with something heavily scented of him. It would drive her crazy.

"No, I cant. Thanks for the jester but I think you'll need it more than me since you're the one in hiding"

"Yeah I guess you're right," he said with a hint of sadness in his voice. He was now embarrassed and feeling stupid. He didn't know if she meant that or if she was trying to let him down softly. He's never been turned down by a woman and has never had this feeling either. "Well is there anything I can do to make it up to you? Maybe take you out to eat sometime?"

"That sounds fun but seeing as how you're sneaking around and all how would that work?"

His face lit up as if he had just won a prize," just hop on my bike and leave all of that up to me. And don't worry I won't ride like a reckless jerk"

Riding on the back of his bike is just unbelievable. Like this is actually happening. We are really riding through the streets of Birmingham together. My arms are wrapped around his stomach and all I can think about is how good his hard abs feel under my fingers. My head is rested on his back and I can smell all of him as the wind blows in our hair. If I was a man he would definitely feel my d**k hard on his back because this has beyond turned me on.

He tells me to hold on tight as he speeds up to the restaurant.
