Chapter 40

Edward had left for a meeting with Ash's lawyers, Robert was in the office on a business meeting. Both of them did tell Ash that they were sorry, after Leigh and Kate told them that they couldn't leave the house or go back to the office until they told her sorry. The girls had their lunch together outside in the garden, which Ash felt like everything was back to normal. Michelle went to go start on her schoolwork.

Will and Harry came back after dropping Sean off, Kate and Leigh made them also say they were sorry to Ash, explaining again, what they said to Edward and Robert about friendship. After they said that they were sorry, Will and Kate left saying goodbye. Leigh went to the office to do her family business.

Harry and Ashlyn were now up in her bedroom cuddled on the bed, and while laying down on the bed, Ash's head on Harry's chest, with his arms around her and playing with her hair.

"I missed this," he said.

"Me too," she sighed.

"I missed how you smelled."

Ash laughed, "I have a smell? I knew being around 7 boys and dancing for hours I was going to stink for sure, but a certain smell to you?"

"You smell sweet. I'm sure it's the body wash that you use, but I miss that."

Ash looks up, "You could have taken a shirt from my closet to sleep with you know."

"I might do that while you're away."

Ash frowns, "Don't remind me."

"Sorry. Anything from them yet about it?"

She lays her head down, "Edward said that he was going to chat with them after he left. The girls even made him and Robert apologize for what they said to me."

"I really am sorry too. I didn't know about the promise that was taken that serious, and you do need a friend or seven besides Leigh."

Ash smiles, "Thank you." She looks back up at him.

"What?" he asked.

She leans in, kisses him, and very passionately.

"What was that for?" he asked.

She smiles standing up, goes to her bedroom door, and locks it.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

Ash smiles as she goes back to the bed and crawls up on top of him, "Let me show you that you are the only man I love deeply and want to marry."

Harry smiles as they start kissing and remove their clothes.

Ash and Harry were cuddled up under the covers after having some fun, and got cleaned up and dressed into PJs.

After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Ash said.

"The door's still locked," Harry told her.

"No, I unlocked it before we came to bed," Ash told him.

The door opens, and in walks Leigh and Robert.

"Hey guys," Harry smiled.

"What's up?" Ash asked.

"Um, grandad called and he said that they picked the date for the trial," Leigh told them.
