Finding love 2.

Since that day, Ashley was torn apart. Her plans were going well. Jake seems to be falling for her too. And she fell for Jake,she really do. But how can she love Jake if her heart was with Mike?

But Mike didnt know. He didnt even remember Ashley. And it hurts Ashley a lot, knowing the person who holds her heart thinks she is just another friends' friend. But what could a girl like Ashley do?

Days and nights Ashley spent thinking about a way to get Mike to remember her. Maybe,just maybe, if he remembers, and he feels the same way too, it will be clearer to Ashley.

She likes Jake,she really do. And she never want to hurt Jake's feelings, but now she was hurting. Confused. She was really at lost.

Then one day she thought of a way. She asked Mike out for a quick lunch, with the reasons of getting to know more about Jake from him. They ate,they talked. Yet Mike still show no signs of knowing Ashley before this. Then Ashley gave Mike a lollipop,one that he used to give her. Ashley searched his face for a flicker of recognization, but Mike just laughed and took the lollipop,not saying another word. Ashley gave the fakest smile ever, feeling her recently discovered heart breaking into pieces.

At home,Ashley wondered. How could Mike dont know her at all? Dont he ever think about her after kindergarten? Wasnt she special enough for him, the way he was to her? She knew it was stupid,it was 15 years ago. She dont really know what type of the person he has become. And he dont know her at all. But she hope he will. Maybe they can start again. Ashley and Jake are not exclusive yet,so why not?

But of course,fate meddles with you. A couple of days after the lunch, Jake asked Ashley out. On a saturday night. For a real date. It was romantic. They went to a restaurant near the beach, enjoying all the scrumptious seafoods. After that they went for a walk near the shore under the full moon. The sea breeze was gentle, and a gentleman Jake was, he offered her his jacket. Ashley could feel, with the pieces of her broken heart, that she was melting. And that was when Jake asked her to be his girlfriend. Ashley was stunned. That was all she has been wishing for since the first day she met Jake. But with Mike in the picture, she hesitated, only for a fraction of seconds.

Then she smiled sweetly at him, saying yes.
Maybe first love doesn't always worked out, she thought.
