She grinned and batted her eyelashes at him. ”I’m always all yours. .forever” She watched his face as she passed hmthe briefcase, smiling at his reaction. Perfect. She’d guessed he would like it but seeing his face was priceless. She leaned into the kiss and half pouted when he pulled away. If she had her way, she would kiss him all day every day. Grinning, she clapped her hands excitedly. ”yes lets go!” She was acting like a kid in a sweet shop but she couldn’t help herself. As they drove, she flicked through the radio, settling on a station that was playing throwback songs. Squealing with a grin, she turned up the volume and started to sing along to ‘can't fight the moonlight’ from one of her favourite films, coyote ugly.
When they pulled up to the restaurant, she ended her mini concert and unbuckled her seatbelt before stepping out of the car; bag in hand. She moved around the car over to Damon and held her hand out to take his as they walked into the restaurant. She gave the hostess a small smile and let Damon speak since he made their reservation. While the host grabbed their menus, she had a quick glance around, happy to see that the restaurant was pretty quiet. Picture-perfect setting for their anniversary meal. The brunette followed the other woman as she lead them through the room and sat down when they reached their table. While the waitress gave them a few minutes to browse through the menu, Ashley reached her hand over to rest on Damon’s. ”Happy Anniversary”
ashley smiled and shook her head slightly. "why thank you mr thornton." damon was always the humble one, turning compliments back on the person who was giving them was something she was used to and she wasn't complaining. it was one of the things she loved about him and who didn't like to be complimented anyway. she couldn't help but feel a buzz as they stepped out of the house, it had been ages since they'd had a proper date night. they were both either working, studying or in ashley's case doing a night shift and on top of all that they had to juggle looking after a four year old. she wouldn't change her life but at the same time, it would be nice if the two of them could get more alone time.
"yeah. .if we don't leave know i'll find an excuse to go and check on josh. ." she said with a small grin. the babysitter was one they used regularly and she was lovely, josh always had fun with her and she knew he was safe but she still hated leaving him. she got into the car and fastened her seatbelt before reaching into the back and pulling out damon's present. "I know we said we were just going for a meal and not doing presents but i saw this and i had to get it for you." she smiled and waited for his reaction. she hoped he liked it. she'd been thinking about what she could get him when she saw the briefcase/satchel in one of the shops in the city and it was perfect. .she hoped.
Ashley sat on her bed while she took the clips out of her hair to release the curls she'd had pinned to her head.She ran her fingers through them until she was satisfied with how they looked. Tight curls that stuck to her head did not look good. She'd stopped by the hair dressers after work to get her hair done and even had a friend come by to do her make-up professionally. It was the anniversary of their first date and she wanted to make an effort. Although she wasn't wearing a dress. It had been a cool day and she couldn't bring herself to get her legs out. She stood up and looked in the full length mirror in the corner. She liked her outfit choice - a navy dressy top, navy pants and black heels. Not over the top but dressy enough.
She grabbed her chain bag from the dresser and headed out of the bedroom. She was excited for tonight, it had been a while since they'd been on a date and she was looking forward to spending some quality time with him. She loved Josh more than anything but he was a handful. It was hard to get some alone time when he was around, especially in a two bedroom flat. She greeted the babysitter as she walked into the hallway and bent down to give her son a kiss goodbye. "Be good baby." She said as she stood up. She had a quick word with the sitter about his bed time before moving over to Damon. "Well don't you look handsome" She said with a smile, pausing as she passed to give him a light kiss on the lips. "Lets go get wined and dined." She said as she walked outside to the car, where she'd hidden a little surprise for Damon.

Ashley grew up in the outskirts of dublin, ireland with her older brothers - james and chris. The three of them often visited their cousins lily, leo and logan in england, mostly to get away from their dad who was an abusive alcoholic pretty much 24/7 and their not so great mother - who stood by and watched it happen. when james left ireland to move to hickstead, Ashley hated that she couldn't go with him, especially when their father turned his abuse on the two remaining siblings now James wasn't there to protect them. she counted down the days until she finally turned sixteen and was legally allowed to leave home. she told chris she was leaving, packed a bag and hopped on the first ferry to england, moving to hickstead to live with her eldest brother and cousins - leo, lily and logan.
Not long after moving to the town, she met the love of her life, damon thornton. they had been dating a couple of months when Ashley eventually met damons brother, Jason. there was no denying it, Jason was insanley attractive. now Ashley was happy with damon. . so she thought but when Jason started hitting on her, she couldn't resist his charms or the fact that a guy like him would fancy a girl like her. they ended up in bed together, fooling around for a few weeks in a short affair until the guilt set in and the realisation that she loved damon more. before she could even break things of with jason, damon caught them and she would never forget the look on his face - shock, betrayal, hurt. she'd crushed him and it almost broke her. she'd been a stupid naïve child and would regret that moment for life. not long after she found out she was pregnant and had no idea who the father was.
Ashley spent the next few months being miserable. she texted damon an apology every day until he finally cracked and met up with her. after weeks of talking he finally gave her a second chance, not that she deserved one but she took it all the same. that second chance came with a condition, they had to leave hickstead. she hated leaving her family but she had to put her relationship first for the sake of her baby. They ended up moving to Massachusetts when Damon was accepted onto the Harvard Law programme. Ashley gave birth to a son over there and unfortunately it was clear as day the kid was Jason's but Damon loved him as his own regardless. She continued her own education, finding a college nearby that had a vet nurse course with an on campus day care, which was a lifesaver. Whilst in America, family secrets were uncovered and her brother james had found out their dad wasn't actually his dad. their uncle - leo, lily and logan's father was in fact his dad. It was hard hearing the news over the phone and not in person since she wanted to be there for her brother but she supported him as much as she could from afar. Ashley loved their little bubble in the states but when Damon graduated, she figured it was time they headed back home. She missed her family and after some convincing, Damon agreed.
