She hesitated to get in to sit next to Ashton. Sighing in front of Lucas, Anne pouted making him chuckled looking at her adorable face.

"Can I sit in front?" Anne whispered to Lucas as she got closer. He gave her a sweet smile that makes him look charming. Lucas is not into red haired women but Anne might be his first change of taste.

"You better get in there. He is an impatient man. Don't worry. As long as I'm around, I'll keep you safe" Lucas winked at Anne making her blush. He knows not to ever mess with women that Ashton has the hots for. Ashton may not admit it but Lucas has a hunch that Ashton is having some attraction on Anne.
