Chapter 146

The next morning

Scott pulls up at Ashley's house waiting to give her a ride to work

Ashley finally gets into the car "Good morning Ash" Scott says and Ashley smiles at him making Scott's heart beat fast

"Good morning Scott" Ashley said as she put on her seat belt

"Uhmm.. can I pick you up from work today?" Scott asks her and she almost says yes when she remembers that Kelly will be flying in to California today

"No you can't.." Ashley says and Scott's face falls Ashley notices the change in his countenance

"Kelly is flying into California  this afternoon and I'll have to pick her up and Scott snaps his attention to Ashley

"Uhh.. Ash.. can I ask you for a favor?" Scott asks Ashley "okay" she says and he tells her what he wants her to do for him

"No.. I'm not sure I can do that" Ashley says declining Scott's request

"Please Ash.. we've got to help him.. he's not been himself sine then.. I need you to help him Ash.." Scott says "I don't know about this Scott.. she'll be mad at me" Ashley says

"Please Ash.. remember what he did for you in highschool. Won't you at least do this little thing for him. He's really sorry for what he did" Scott says and Ashley sighs defeatedly

"Okay.. I'll help him" Ashley says "thanks Ash.." Scott says and Ashley stays quiet and he chuckles remembering that Ashley doesn't like to get thanked or praised for the smallest things

Scott stops the car when he gets to Ashley's work place

"I'll let you know when Kelly gets here" Ashley says to Scott

"Okay.. I'll be waiting" Scott says "bye.. see you later" Ashley says "bye" Scott says feeling happy that things aren't awkward between him and Ashley anymore after last night

He heads for the basketball court

He gets there to find Gangtae warming up before the game starts

"Hey Man" he says to Gangtae "hey" Gangtae says happily to Scott and Scott studies him for a while

"What's up with you? You look so happy today" Scott says as he takes out his basketball Jersey and shorts

"Uhmmm.. I.. like someone" Gangtae says and Scott freezes

"Pardon?" Scott asks him and Gangtae rolls his eyes at Scott for pretending not to hear what he just said

"I said I like someone" Gangtae says again "wow!.. that's good" Scott says

"I'm glad you are finally giving up the play boy life" Scott says to Gangtae who chuckles a little

"Can't blame me if there are so many beautiful girls hanging around me.. I'm hot stuff you know?" Gangtae says and Scott shakes his head at his friend making Gangtae laugh a little

"Seriously dude.. I like this girl and I've liked her for a long time now" Gangtae says as Scott sits down to wear his sneakers

"So who's this girl that has been able to keep you in one place because come to think of it I haven't seen you with any random girl for a while now" Scott says and Gangtae laughs

"What?.. it's true.." Scott says and "yeah" Gangtae agrees
