Suffocating

Ashley couldn't be in the place any more. She wanted to divert her mind from Ryan. She felt too much sexual tension in there. She thought a change of atmosphere might divert her sexual attraction towards him. She wanted to go out. She felt suffocating.

"Shall we go somewhere?? It's pretty boring here. I don't have my car. It's in my jacket. No... not my car. My car keys. I don't have my car keys which is in my jacket pocket. But Diksha is wearing my jacket. She is with shawn. She is not here. And so is my jacket and so is Shawn." she said all those words hurriedly and forget to breath.

"I feel suffocating" Ashley struggled and immediately searched for Ryan's eyes. She was struggling to breathe.

He leaned forward in a rush and took Ashley's one hand from the table and held in between his hands.

"Hey, hey Look at me" Ashley followed the voice and looked at his eyes. His eyes were full of concern.

"Breathe" he said

Ashley obeyed his order and followed his movements. She finally remembered how to breath normally.

"I am fine" Ashley said withdrawing her hands from Ryan.

"Come on, let's go somewhere else" he said reaching for Ashley hand.

She took his hand. It was big, warm and secure. She felt even more attracted. Ashley expected that they would be going out instead he went near the elevator and punched a button.

"Where are we going?" Ashley asked curiously.

"Are you afraid?" Ryan smirked.

"No. Why would I? You are not my dad. You are not a psychopath. It's not like you would kill me and throw away my body.. you are not a serial killer. Are you?" She widened her eyes anacting a fake realisation settles in her.

"You are not a serial killer are you?"

Ryan watched her with a passive face. He tried to control his laugh but he couldn't. Ever since he saw her he couldn't stop thinking about her in bed. He already fantasized a million things with her. She was short, blue eyed and had tanned complexion. Ryan wondered if it's a natural tan. Her hair looked silky and brown. Ryan imagined her hair spreading around his bed while fucking her. That one single thought made his cock twitch. He know the attraction is mutual yet he didn't want to scare her off like this. Every time she struggled with her words he just wanted to press a kiss to those lips to stop her nervousness.

"Relax, we are just going to watch a movie. There is plenty of time before we can hit the club" he leaned close and patted her head to pamper her.

She leaned on to his side as she relaxed. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths several times. They entered the elevator and reached their floor. Ryan opened a room with the card he held. He gestured Ashley to get in first.

"It's Shawn's room" Ryan said.

Ashley dropped into a soft couch opposite the big LED TV screen. Ryan switched it on.

"Which genre do you prefer?"

"Anything is fine... Except sensitive blood scenes... like medicos. I have trypanophobia and hemophobia. I'll be fine if it's mild. I can't stand too much"

"We'll go with Rom Com then" he said.

Ryan sat beside her and put his arm above the couch around Ashley. Within minutes she drifted off. Ryan smiled when she fell into his embrace while she was asleep. He wanted to kiss her. He kinda gave a peck in the cheek and watched the film as if it was a normal day of his life. He wanted to do many thing to her but he still resisted. He wouldn't do anything that she didn't ask.

After an hour or so she stirred in her sleep. In an instant She sat straight and moved further so that their skin don't make any contact. Ryan felt disappointed as Ashley pulled away from his embrace. Ashley rubbed her face with her palm and Blinked.

"What did I miss?" she asked sleepily.

"The whole movie" Ryan smirked.

"Great. What time it is... Shall we move?" she asked watching the clock

"Sure. Do you want to fresh up? Bathroom is in the left"

" Yep. Just a minute"

Ashley looked up in the mirror. Her face was pink. She blushed at the thought of sleeping in his arms. She washed her face and corrected hair voila... She was ready to go.

"I am ready. Let's go."

They went down towards the entrance. The sky was already dark. The valet brought Ryan's car. Ryan drove the car while Ashley enjoyed the outside view through the window. She hummed a song so as to reduce the nerves. Ryan tried hard to concentrate on his driving. But every little thing Ashley did distracted Ryan.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Ryan broke the silence.

"No. You?"

"No, I am not gay. I don't do boyfriends"

"I meant a girlfriend. wierdo.

"Yes. I am a HOT tempered wierdo"

"You didn't answer my question"

"You didn't ask properly, Sugar cube."

Ashley blushed as Ryan was calling her with a Nick name . Ryan smirked.

"How did you and Shawn met? Ryan asked.

"Diksha won a date or invitation something like that. There was a +1 option to the date. So she insisted me to come along with her."

"Ohh!"

"He didn't tell you?"

Well he have a corporate company to run. It's not like he has the luxury to indulge in his friends dates life but he didn't say anything.

"We don't share much about on date dramas"

"Ohh okay"

"We are about to reach the place"

They reached the club and went inside in search of Diksha and Shawn. Ashley saw them. They were dancing in the dance floor like crazy people. Ashley was surprised to see Diksha dance. She hardly dance.

"Drinks?" Ryan offered

"Sure"

"I'll bring them. You wait there" Ryan ordered and pointed her to a seat up in a stage away from dance floor.

Ashley followed his order like a little puppy. She observed her surroundings. The club was a bit crowded. Everyone was having fun. Ashley started tapping on the floor to the rythm of the music. Ashley noticed some huge looking men looking at her. She didn't like the looks of them. One of them winked at her when she noticed. She averted her eyes in search of Ryan.
