A.R.C.: Aerodynamic Racing Carrier
Circuit 1: Rookie of the Year



Chapter 4:

Breathing heavily, Connor falls right on to his bed exhausted, unable to move a muscle. It is ten at night and the two just finished cleaning his room.

With his face implanted in the mattress he begins to muffle, “I’m tired…and my body is killing me.”

“Then may be that’ll teach you,” Ashley replies and sits next to Connor on his bed, “that next time, don’t leave your stuff around until the last minute. You’ll keep wasting time like this if you don’t start taking responsibility.” She stands back up and holds out her hand, “C’mon, lets go eat; you must be starving from all that work we did.”

He pushes her hand away weakly, “I’m too tired to eat now. Let me recuperate a bit and we’ll go.”
She sighs, “So typical. Fine, while you’re busy in here recuperating, I’ll call my Uncle what’s going on and take a quick shower. My body stinks from all that work we did.”

“Ok,” still with his face in the mattress, “Just don’t use the hot water too much. My bill is too much for me to handle already.”

“Yeah yeah.”

As Ashley leaves his room, Connor turns his body over, facing towards the ceiling, and closes his eyes. After a second or two, he automatically falls asleep from the exhaustion.

***

After thirty minutes of napping, he wakes up and sits himself up. He looks around his room and notices the time being projected on his clock.

“Ah geez, I was out that long?” He stands up and stretches out a bit and begins walking towards the bathroom door. “I need to wash up a bit…”

He opens the bathroom door and steam pours out. He enters and in front of him was Ashley drying herself with a towel. She had nothing covering herself, instead for some of the transparent steam from the excessive use of hot water, as a result revealing her slim, naked body. She looks at him and her face quickly turns red and she stops what she is currently doing. Still half asleep, Connor stares at her for several seconds without noticing her naked body. His eyes then finally begin to widen and his face turns red as well. Oh shit…, Connor thought to himself.  
Surprised, embarrassed, and infuriated, Ashley clenches her teeth together and tightly grips the stool she had her foot placed on and begins to growl, “Connor…”

“H-h-hold on Ashley, I have a good explanation for this. I didn’t mean to…um…I just thought…um…”

“CONNOR!” she begins to yell. “YOU IDIOT!”  She lifts the wooden stool and chucks it at face level.

As Connor scrambles on the ground and tries to reopen the door to run away, the stool hit him in the back of his head violently. As the door opens, he makes his escape by crawling and turns over to look behind him. Ashley approaches him threateningly with one hand clenching a towel covering her body and the other holding the stool once more. Connor then uses his left leg and kicks the door, closing it right in front of her.

Breathing heavily, “Whew that was a close one,” he said to himself. “For a second there, I thought I was about to die”  

“This isn’t over, Connor!” Ashley yelled behind the door.

Connor gulps.

***

“God dammit, Connor!” Ashley begins to complain.

They are in the kitchen; Connor is setting up the table and cooking the food while Ashley is pacing back and forth in frustration.

“You don’t ever stumble into the bathroom when a girl is in there, especially when she is taking a shower! What just happened is not funny! Not one bit!” She stops in place and turn towards Connor. “Well? Do you have anything to say for yourself?”

“I told you, it was an accident. I might have forgotten that you told me that you were taking a shower. I just woke up, what do you expect?”

“And you didn’t notice the light leaking through under the door? Or that the door was closed? It wouldn’t kill you to knock first!”

“Wait a second,” Connor realized, “why are you the only one yelling? I should be the one complaining right now!”

“What are you talking about? You’re the one who saw me naked-!”

“But you’re the one who overused the hot water when I already told you not to use too much!”

Eyes widened and her voice softened, “Oh…um…well you see…I uh…”

“See what? See how you just increased my bill ten times fold? So guess what? Now I’m the one who’ll have to pay and all you have to do is worry about me seeing you naked. Freeloader!”

“Hey now, I am not a freeloader! I would happily pay for my part but…”she looks away and down to the ground and her voice trails off.

Connor sighs and calms down and sits down at the dinner table. “Look, lets just forget what happened tonight, alright? I’m hungry, it’s late, and I don’t want to start our reunion like this. So come on, sit down and lets dig in.”

She stays where she is for a bit and finally begins to move and sits down across from where Connor is about to sit and he starts to place the food on their plates. As he is doing that, Ashley is still looking down at her lap, hesitating to begin a conversation.

“Hey Connor?” Ashley called out shyly.

“Yeah?”

“How…how much…um,” Ashley hesitates as she tries to force the words out of her mouth. Finally, “Connor, how much of my body did you see?”

Connor freezes at the question and slowly looks at her. She begins to blush noticeably and her ears turn red. He blushes slightly and looks away.

“Well…um…”

“And I want your honesty…”

“Um…well, lets see. It was definitely steamy in there since you used up a lot of the hot water.” He hesitates for a moment and continues, “I was still half asleep…so I’m pretty sure the communication between my eyes and brain wasn’t well linked…c-can we not talk about this?”

“Just answer the question, Connor. How much did you see?”

He mumbles something but Ashley couldn’t understand what he said.

“What?”

“Everything…” He glances at Ashley quickly and away, “Well, to be specific, yes I saw you completely naked…b-but don’t worry…I didn’t see any of your…unique individuals, let just say…”

“Oh, I see…,” Ashley replies as she shifts her body awkwardly. “Well, anyways, just remember not to do that again…”

An awkward silence moves around the kitchen for quite some time and finally Connor begins moving again and finishes placing the food on their plates.

“C’mon, lets just eat before the food becomes cold. Not to mention, it’s getting late as well.”
Ashley nods and they begin eating. For twenty minutes, they sit there in silence, avoiding making any conversations due to the fact of what happened and the awkward question Ashley mentioned.

Connor’s right…today’s reunion was a mess…, Ashley thought to herself.

***

Ashley is lying on Connor’s bed with only a t-shirt that Connor gave her and her panty on and waits for Connor as he is finishing brushing his teeth. He finally finishes and exits the bathroom and enters his room. He yawns and climbs into bed next to Ashley. Ashley quickly sits up and looks at Connor.

“C-Connor! What are you doing?” she yells and blushes.

“Going to sleep…”

“On the same bed?”

“Well…yeah…this is my bed. No way am I sleeping outside in the living room on the couch. Last time I did, my neck was completely sore the next morning.”

“B-b-but we’re the opposite sex! What in the right mind makes you think that this is ok?”

“Oh come on, Ashley. We used to sleep next to each other when we were little. And if I recall correctly, you would always sneak out of your house occasionally, and climb into bed next to me, and hug me tightly since you were easily scared of the dark.”

“Sh-shut up!” Ashley yells again and her face begins to redden further. “Besides, that was then. This is now. We’re 18; practically adults!”

Connor sighs, “Look, if you’re that worried, then we’ll just sleep back-to-back; you face one way, I’ll face the other.”

Ashley begins to make awkward noises and motions with her leg. Finally, she gives up and quickly lies back down and turns away from Connor.

“J-just make sure you don’t do anything weird when I’m asleep.”

He chuckles, “Don’t worry, I won’t. Goodnight.” He turns off the lights and turns his back towards Ashley.

“Goodnight…”

They lay there together in silence but after a minute Ashley begins to shuffle constantly under the blankets.

“Connor?” she calls out and begins to whimper. “Connor?”

“Ugh…what?” he groans.

She hesitate a bit and finally replies, “Can I-I wrap my arms around you?”

He sighs, “You’ve got to be kidding me. Didn’t you just say we were adults?”

“I know but…but…oh who cares what I say." she begins to sound impatient. "Please, Connor! Can I wrap my arms around you and snuggle close? I can’t sleep…”

“…fine”

She takes her arms and hug Connor tightly allowing them to feel each other’s body heat.

“Goodnight,” she smiled.

“Goodnight…”
And here it is! Chapter 4! Enjoy! :)
