Heat

After Anna left Ashley began to panic. She was scared for her life and although she didn't like Tatiana, that girl was crazy and could do almost
anything. Ashley didn't know what to do, she kept pacing around in her room before she thought about Jake, but then she remembered what she
heard Jake said in the kitchen. She sighed before plopping down on the bed, she furrows, "I can't believe he's leaving," she mumbled to herself as
she felt her heartache.
She was afraid that Jake would leave and not know about her feelings but she was even more scared about telling him how she feels. She wonders,
"What if he doesn't feel the same way?" or "What if he finally accepts the fact that he's kind of like a step-brother." Those types of saying pushed over
the confidence she was building up.
But her feelings didn't matter at the moment because Jay and Tatiana were currently writing their death wish and Ashley had to warn Jake. Ashley
made up her mind before exiting her bedroom. She stood in front of Jake's bedroom deciding whether or not she should approach him, "Ugh! Get
your act together, Ashley!" She practically yelled before quickly covering her mouth.
She sighed before knocking on the door but there was no answer. She furrowed before walking towards the stairs, "Mom, is Jake down there?!" She
asked as her mother immediately replied, "No, honey!"
"Jake's leg was broken, where could that boy be," she thought as she went back to his door-knocking again, "Jake, I know you're in here, stop playing

games," she said but there was still no reply which frustrated her, "Jake, I'm coming in," she before barging in to only find a dark, empty bedroom.
A sudden yelp left Ashley's mouth as a handgrip onto her arm harshly pushing her against the door that slammed shut. Another hand quickly went
over her mouth to silence any sound that came out. Ashley's eyes were shut tight as her heart pounded in her chest. A hot, heavy breath fanned her
face as it sent shivers down her spine, "Open your eyes, baby girl," a deep voice commanded as Ashley's eyes slowly opened to lock with a pair of
dark ones.
Ashley immediately recognized those eyes as she instantly shoved him off of her, "What the hell, Jake!" she exclaimed in an angry tone while Jake
stood there staring back at her with a dangerous and lustful gaze, "I've been knocking on your door and you're in here playing games, I have
important shit to discuss-," Ashley ranted on before pausing as she watched Jake take slow steps towards her without saying anything.
Ashley began to get nervous as she stepped back but collided with the door. Jake continued to walk towards her until his naked chest was pressed
against her clothed one, her breath hitched as she stared into his eyes. Jake leaned down until his forehead touched hers, "Jake, what-
Jake immediately silence her with an aggressive and hungry kiss that she immediately responded to. So naturally, Ashley's arms wrapped as Jake
wrapped his around her waist. They were so into the kiss that they didn't even notice that someone was knocking on the door until Katie's voice was
heard, "Jake, Ashley, are you guys in there?" She called out as Ashley pulled away causing Jake to groaned, "Why did you stop?" He asked as
Ashley rolled her eyes, "Because my mom is on the other side of the door," she replied as Jake leaned in slowly pecking her lips, "Just ignore her and
she'll go away," he whispered against her lips as she pushed him away.

"No, Jake, put a shirt on," she said as Jake glared at her before limping away as she turned around to answer the door. There stood Katie with a

curious look on her face, "I've been knocking and calling, why have anyone of you answered?" She asked as Ashley sighed before pointing behind
her, "Mr.Lazy back there didn't want to put on a shirt," she said as Jake came out, "I heard that Mrs.Moodkiller," he said sneaking an ass grip caused
Ashley to jump. Katie looked back and forth between the two individuals with a weird look before shaking her head.
"Can you both come downstairs, Roger and I would like to speak to you both," she said before walking away. Jake and Ashley exchanged looks
shrugging before following Katie down the stairs.
Ashley and Jake entered the living room after Katie, as met Roger waiting patiently, "Thank you both for coming," he said as Ashley and Jake took a
seat beside each other, "What's going on?" Jake asked as Ashley nodded, "Well, our second wedding anniversary is coming up and we wanted to
take a trip," Katie said as Ashley raised her eyebrows, "Where?" She asked as Katie looked at Roger, "Hawaii," Rogger replied as Jake tilted his
head, "Hawaii, cool," he said as Ashley just sat there, "How long are you guys going to be gone for?" She asked as Jake leaned forward, "Just until
Jake is ready to return to his mother," Roger replied as Ashley bit her lip at the thought of Jake leaving.
"Okay, well, have a good trip," Ashley said before getting up and leaving the room. Jake sighed before going after Ashley.

Ashley entered her bedroom plopping face down on her bed, "Hey, what was that back there?" Jake asked entering her room closing the door behind
him, "I don't know what you're talking about," she replied sitting up on her bed as Jake joined her, "Look, Ashley, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you that I'm
heading back home early, I received the news last night," he said as Ashley sighed, "I'm not mad, Jake, I'm just disappointed," she said as Jake took
her hand in his, "Me too, Ash, me too," he said before lifting her chin, "Ashley, I like you," he confessed as she smiled, "I like you too, Jake," she said
but then her smile suddenly faded, "I have to tell you something," she said as Jake furrowed, "What is it?" He asked as Ashley took a deep breath.
"Jay and Tatiana are plotting against us," she said as Jake's eyes widened, "What!" He exclaimed in shock, "They're planning something, something
to spread us for good."
