You're leaving? (A 1x1 with Lexxy)

[isax]

"Okay so this weekend. How does Sunday sound?" Sarah asked him with a smile. She was happy to be going on dates with Clay. She felt like they had a strong chance of actually dating.

Clay nodded. "Sounds good to me." he smiled friendly at her before she trotted off. He bit his lip staring at her. So much like a city girl. He was starting to second guess himself on her. City girls just wanted him for the money. Now that that was out of the way, Clay had a plan up his sleeve. He called Ashley and told her something was wrong with Jenna when there really wasn't. He then called ahead to the spa and made an appointment for her and Allie and told Aliie the plan.

Ashley sighed as she got the call and immediately left work and went straight to his house. The circles under her eyes worse then usual. She walked in and yawned as she looked at Clay. "What's wrong with Jenna?" She asked him as she looked at him. "Mom you look so exhausted." Rylan said and Ashley sighed and rubbed her face. "That noticeable huh?" She asked and Allie looked at her dad and smiled. "Mom, come on. We have a spa day ahead of us." She told her and Ashley blinked. "I didn't reserve for a spa appointment." Ashley said and Allie laughed. "But dad did." She said and Ashley looked over at Clay. "You didn't have to do that." Ashley told him with a smile.

"Ashley, Ashley, Ashley haven't you learned by now I do things because I want to not because I have to?" He asks with a laugh holding Jenna in his arms so she knew she was okay. "Now go." He says pushing them out the door.

 

[isax]

Ashley shook her head at Clay and went with Allie to the spa and to be honest it was very relaxing. It help calm her nerves and relax out her muscles again and when they came back, Ashley was still exhausted but not as bad. "We had so much fun." Allie said as she smiled and Ashley nodded. "Thanks Clay." She said and yawned again.

Clay nodded with a smile. "I'm glad you had fun Al now take this and get your brother to take the three of you to go get food." He says handing her money from his wallet as she ran off and then they ran out of the house like a heard of cows. "Don't wreck the car!" Clay exclaims to Rylan before he was left alone with Ashley again. "Go to sleep Ashley," He says sternly. "It would do you good not to argue for once and accept you need it ."

 

[isax]

Ashley looked at Clay and sighed. "Fine." She said and then did as he said and went up stairs and changed into his clothes again and laid in their bed, except she slept on his side. It had his scent and it was something she missed terribly.

Clay couldn't help but laugh softly at her comment and nodded in victory when for once, she actually listened. He left her alone and watched Jenna, "you could be a little easier on your mom ya know little one?" He says kissing her chubby cheek. After dinner the kids asked if they could go to Gaven's and he agreed. Around eight Ashley had yet to wake so he fed Jenna and laid her down for bed.

 

[isax]

At around ten, Ashley woke up because she heard Jenna cry. She laughed softly and walked back down. Her hair was down naturally just like Clay like, she wore his long sleeve shirt that for her extremely big and his basketball shorts. "Shh Jenna mommys here. Sleep." She whispered as Jenna looked at both her parents and slowly started to fall asleep. Ashley laughed quietly then looked over at Clay. "Thanks for everything Clay." She said as she looked into his eyes and smiled.

"You looks like a whole new person," He says looking over at her, she didn't look so exhausted and tense and the brightness was back in her face again. He was glad she was feeling better but now he had to talk to her."come sit." He says looking over to the spot next to him.

 

[isax]

Ashley smiled yet blinked at Clay. She nodded and sat down next to him and yawned. "What's wrong?" Ashley asked as she looked over at Clay wondering what he could want to talk about.

"What's wrong? What's wrong is you're not taking care of yourself. Ashley, I know it's not supposed to be any of my concern but it's hard for it not to be. You don't have to listen but hear me out, I know you need help so why don't you let me help you? You're not easing Jenna by yourself and you're killing yourself trying to live." He paused for a moment. "I bet you didn't read those divorce papers did you? Before you signed them. I gave you part of the company, There's a bank account with half of it's I come in it for you. You just have to look, I did that because I didn't want you to struggle and I knew you wouldn't actually read it. And I don't want you to ever think you're doing this alone, if you we've need a break from Jenna there's multiple people who would love to watch her. Also, because you own half of the company that means there is a job offer on the table and you come and go whenever you please." He paused for a minute waiting for a reaction and then when he didn't get one he continued. "Your health is important to me and the way you're going you're going to end up sick again, this morning you fell over because of how exhausted you are."

 

[isax]

Ashley heard him out, just like he wanted and sighed. Why did Clay care so much about her? They were divorced. Even at that she knew Clay still wanted her healthy and okay. "So what is it you want me to do Clay... If I work at the company that means more time I spend with you. I'm trying to be independent here and prove everyone wrong." Ashley said as she stayed looking at her lap and then put her head on his shoulder. "Why am I so weak? Why can't I ever be independent? It's so hard. You wouldn't understand though because you're perfectly fine and have moved on. I haven't and I'm not fine. I just don't know what to do." Ashley whispered to him as she looked at Jenna. Why did Clay give her half of the company? He didn't have to but he did. Why?

"Thats where you're wrong, if you want the job you run that portion on your own. I'm not needed. You're doing just fine Ash, it's just hard when you've never been alone before but you're doing a damn good job and just because I look okay, doesn't mean I am okay, when people need you to be a rock you have to be the rock or they'll all fall apart, and that's me, the rock."

Ashley sighed and looked at Clay. "Sorry I could never be your rock." She told him quietly as she looked at Jenna and sighed again. Why? Why did she have to ruin everything? She was foolish for ever doing it. "Then are you okay Clay?" She asked him. She was supposed to be the one and make sure he was okay. She hadn't even done that.

"I'll be okay eventually, it's been a year but time heals. You just have to be patient and understand that life doesn't always to as you plan it." He too looked over to Jenna and smiled towards her. He then got up from the couch. "You can stay, it's late." And then he walked up the stairs to his bed.

Ashley sighed and shook her head. "No, I'll go home." She said and stood up when she heard thunder. That was great. She still had that fear. She sighed and laid on the couch and she stared up at the ceiling and became tense with each thunder. She sighed. Why did she have to do what she did? She missed Clay. Yes it was only a year but Clay will always hold her heart plus nobody from the city wants to date her. Which was good because Clay was the only city boy she'd ever date.

When Sunday night rolled around Clay became hesitant. Was he making the right decision? If Sarah wanted to be a part of his life he would have to have a serious talk with her about what he needed from a woman. The kids were with their mother and it was the start of winter break. Clay drove to where Sarah wanted to meet him for dinner and ordered a drink.

Sarah smiled at Clay and ordered a drink as well. She looked at him and wondered what he was thinking about. She was like any other city girl. Yes she would keep Clay happy but just because she wanted his money. She knew Clay Waters was a rich man. "So how was you week hun?" She asked him with a smile.


"Mom you need a tree in your house!" Allie said and Ashley laughed as she shook her head. "No no I don't." She told her and Allie shook her head. "Come on, let's go pick one!" She said and Ashley have in to what Allie wanted. Nothing bad could happen.

(Sarah is a gold digger.[emoji23])


Clay wasn't stupid, he had a hunch that that's why Sarah wanted to be with him. He would just have to test it before things went further. "It was okay, how about yours?" He asks folding his hand in front of him. Sarah was pretty but not like Ashley. Ashley was just different, something he knew he would never be able to do better than

"Okay I guess. Work as always. Are you okay love?" Sarah asked as she looked at Clay. It bothered her that she didn't know anything he was thinking. She wasn't like Ashley. She couldn't read him without any trouble.

Clay laughed lightly at the fact that Sarah couldn't read him. He had grown so used to not being able to hide anything he forgot it was possible. "Yeah, I'm fine." He played with the silverware in the napkin and looked back up at her again. "It's just, I'm not used to this is all." He says referring to dating, he hadn't done it in a long time. "And you don't really know anything about me."

"Well then I should get to know you. We aren't even official yet Clay." Sarah said as she smiled and then held his hand in hers. She did need to get to know him more. "So Clay, would you like to go out with me and be my boyfriend?" She asked and smiled softly. She was hoping he said yes. Then all she would need to do was marry him after which wouldn't be easy.

(This chick is hilarious [emoji23])


Clay felt uncomfortable when she took his hand and picked up his drink. When she asked he nearly dropped his drink in his lap. "I'm sorry what?" He aka setting the drink down and let out a sigh. "Sarah, there's a lot you should know before you take that step. Like, I have four kids who are important to me and won't be out on the back burned also, if it's money your looking for, I don't have if." He lied. "Ashley took it all when we divorced."

([emoji23]indeed she is)


Sarah looked at Clay in utter shock. He let Ashley take all his money? Why? He could have fought for it. "I don't mind the kids Clay hun but why would you let her take all your money? You could have fought for it you know." Sarah said with a smile. She was trying to make it sound like she didn't want just the money.
