Part 8

Danny sat there for a few minutes in silence. "What can I do?" he thought himself. But before he knew what de was doing he took hold of Ashley's arm, and pulled her to him. As he began to kiss her softly on the lips, Ashley tried to pull away from him. Danny held onto to her to stop her from leaving him at that moment, and slowly the kiss grew in intensity. Realising that she had nowhere to go, Ashley began to explore Danny's mouth with her tongue, holding on to him as tightly as she could. Before long they began to undress each other, both becoming more turned on by the moment. Danny pushed Ashley onto the bed, teasing by putting his hand between her legs, then playing with her breasts. Ashley decided to return the favour, taking hold of his penis and stroking it lightly at first, then with more intensity. Not able to take for much longer, Danny thrust himself inside her, moving with the excitement. Ashley joined in the rhythm of Danny's body, both their pleasure growing, before neither could hold it in any longer. As orgasm came they both cried with joy, clutching onto each other tightly. As they came down from the high, Danny collapsed to one side, sweating from the exertion. Turning on her side to look at him, Ashley spoke, "is that your answer then?" "I guess it is," Danny replied. They sat in silence for a few moments, then suddenly, much to his surprise, Danny burst out saying, "move to America with me." "You're kidding right?" answered Ashley. "No. You Graduate in a couple of days, then you've got the world at your fingertips. Why not come to the US. Look I'll leave you alone to think about it, it's a big decision to make." With that, Danny got dressed and left, leaving Ashley to think things through.

Danny arrived at the hotel still in his thoughts about announcements to Ashley. "Mr. Wood, there's a message for you," cried the receptionist as he walked into the hotel Lobby. "What is it?" The receptionist handed Danny a piece of paper and what he saw stopped him dead in his tracks. All it said was that Mrs. Wood had phoned and wanted him to call her back. "How did she find me here," he thought to himself, "only mum and dad know where I'm staying." Then it clicked, she must have phoned his parents. As he walked into his room he contemplated what to do. Picking up the phone he dialled Ashley's number, not sure what he was going to say. As he heard the phone pick at the other end he spoke quickly, not letting Ashley get a word in edgeways. "Ashley its Danny, she called. I dunno why or how, but she phoned the hotel. I don't know what to do." "Ok, calm down. Just stay there. I'll be over soon," Ashley replied. Putting the receiver down ran his fingers through his hair. Sighing to himself, realising he had nothing else to do but wait, Danny undressed and climbed into the shower. As he turned the water on he hoped that the spray on his back would relive some of his tensions.

As Ashley sped along the coast road into Brighton, all she could think about was how worried Danny sounded. She knew that she had to stay calm for Danny's sake, but deep down she was scared about what had happened. Pulling into the hotel car park her heart began to beat faster. After locking up the bike, Ashley raced into the hotel and up to Danny's room. Noticing that the door was slightly ajar, she knocked loudly. Getting no reply, Ashley pushed the door open a little further. Hearing the sound of splashing water she made her way into the room and walked across to the bathroom. Looking through the doorway all she could see was Danny's naked form in the shower, water pounding all over his muscles. Unable to resist the urge Ashley quickly undressed and climbed into the shower, wrapping her arms around Danny before he even noticed her there.

Danny jumped at the touch. Turning around quickly he yelled out, "what the..? Ashley it's you. Where'd you come from?" Watching the water wash over his muscle Ashley replied. "Well door was open. I tried knocking but got no reply. So I thought I'd better check to see if you were Ok. And well I guess you are." As she spoke the final words Danny pulled her closer to him, then taking soap began to put lather over her whole body. As the shower rinsed of the suds, Danny drew his lips to hers, kissing Ashley passionately. Between kisses Danny managed to speak, "you know this isn't helping matters." Then pulling away and getting out of the shower, Danny turned to Ashley, "I should phone her." Grabbing a towel from the railing, he wrapped it around himself, and then wandered back into the main room. Standing there for a few moments, Ashley finally turned off the shower. Throwing a towel around herself she edged towards the door, and stopped when she reached the entrance. As she leaned against the door frame, Ashley heard Danny pick up the phone and begin to dial out. Before he even began to speak Ashley could feel the tears sting the back of her eyes. All she could think was that it was all over.

As Danny heard the phone ring he looked towards the bathroom, hoping that Ashley would come out. Instead all he could hear in the background was the quiet sobs that had begun the moment he'd picked up the phone. As the phone carried on ringing Danny began to get nervous, he still had no idea what to do. One minute he was asking Ashley to move to the US, and the next his wife had called. A click and a hello and the other end of the line brought him out of his stupor. "Hi, its Danny, you wanted to talk?" "Yeah. I was hoping to meet up sometime when you got back to town. I'm sorry about what happened, I need you back in my life, and so do the kids," came his wife's anxious reply. "Don't bring the kids into this. You should have thought about them when you left. What gives you the right to phone me here, and try and worm yourself back into my life," Danny shouted angrily. "I just thought we could talk. I love you, and I always will. Please come back to me," she whined down the phone. Not able to take any more Danny slammed the receiver down, then fell backwards onto the bed. Throwing his arms over his face, Danny attempted to rationalise what he'd just done.

Peeking out from under his arm Danny saw Ashley move towards him. Sitting herself at the end of the bed, she stared at Danny intently. "You're regretting you said that aren't you?" Danny nodded in reply. "I guess deep down I still love her. She is my wife. The mother of my children." "What are you gonna do? I was hoping that you'd come to my graduation, but it's seems like bad timing all round," said Ashley. "I think she can wait, especially after what she's put me through. I would love to come to your graduation if the offer's still open. I think finally I've made up my mind." "Well, in that case, I might just follow you to America." Smiling at each other, they fell into the other's arms.
