Tangled Strings

Chapter 14

Mike

I saw Ashley leaning against her car and doing something on her phone. I went near her and she looked up.

"Hey!" she said.

"Hi."

"I thought you'd never come and you stood me up."

"Naah! Never in a billion lifetimes!" I flirted and she blushed.

We walked to my car and got in. I drove to the Starbucks near school. We entered the cafe and seated ourselves on a two-seater. A waiter arrived a few moments later to take our orders.
"I'll take a caramel machhiato." I ordered.

"And I think I'll just go in for... an American latte." she piped in.

When the waiter went away with our orders, I started a conversation between us.

"So, tell me about yourself." I said.

"Umm... I'm Ashley Brookes. I'm doing my major in English and I love to read books... Umm... I have a few friends... What else?" she said.

Boring. I thought. What is this girl? I can't believe I asked her out. Charlotte was way better than her. I could still taste her strawberry lip gloss.

"Do you like partying?"

"Yeah, but not too much."

"Do you like getting drunk?"

"Well, who likes getting drunk? People get drunk. But, I don't think they like it because whatever they do, they regret it the next morning. And, whatsoever, I don't like getting wasted!" she said.

"Well, I like getting drunk, pissing people off, pulling up pranks."

"You are a different person from me." she said.

"Yupp, I know."

"So why did you ask me out?"

"I-"

Well, I asked you out because you've got a very sexy ass and I just want to get in bed with you. I wanted to say. But, fortunately I was interrupted by the waiter bringing us our drinks. And it gave me enough time to think of a reason.

He put our glasses in front of us ans went away leaving me once again with a hot idiot.

"You were saying something?!"

"I was?"

"Yes!" she said.

"Oh yes! I was talking about showing you my tattoos!"

"Ohh! How coooll is thaaat!!"

"You wanna see it?"

"Yes. What kind of a tattoo is it? And where is it?"

"Just watch, baby!" I smirked.

I removed my t-shirt slowly revealing my stomach and then chest. When the t-shirt came out from my neck, I looked at Ashley. She was literally drooling, seeing me shirtless. I had a way to impress girls. Not everyone gets what one wants. Besides, this girl wasn't so experienced as the ones I have met till now.

I flexed my muscles and turned tonky right making my awesome tattoo visible to Ashley. Her eyes opened wide in acknowledgement and she noticed every detail of my tattoo.

"This is soooo awesome!" she said, smiling.

"Yeah, I know. It took almost two hours to complete this tattoo. And well you see the result."

"Yeah. It's so cool. I've never seen anything like that before except on the Internet."

She clicked a picture of me from her phone and put my t-shirt back on.
