"It's fine really." Ash said kissing Bailey's head gently. "It's honestly all ok." She whipered hugging her again.

Bailey buried her face in the crook of Ash's neck. She was comforted by her smell, as odd as that sounded. "When we sleep tonight can you hold me?," she whispered, almost as if she were a child and she needed Ash to scare the bad monsters away.

"That's fine." She whispered now playing with Bailey's hair.

Bailey didn't know why she was feeling so helpless. She looked into Ash's eyes and all the years of pain all came to a head. She wanted to pour her heart out to her, she didn't want to hide anything. She held onto her tightly, hoping that some how Ash would take her pain away.

Ash hugged her tightly then picked her up off the table and walked into the livingroom setting her down gently on the couch. "It's fine trust me." She said kissing Bailey's forehead.

Bailey was surprised when Ash was able to pick her up. She sat up a little on the sofa and stared at the other girl. "Wow you're pretty strong," she said surprised, wiping the tears off her cheeks.

"I worked out almost everyday of my life and you have to be strong for gymnastics." She said sighing and laughing at the same time. "You feel a little better?"

"Yes I feel much better," Bailey sighed. "I'm sorry. I really don't know what came over me just then. I guess you just make me feel really safe and comfortible," she explained.

"It's fine really just don't cry ok." She said smiling kissing Bailey's head gently. Ash then got up. "Mind if I go work out though?"

Bailey smiled. "No, no it's fine." She lowered her eyes and chewed on her bottom lip, looking nervous. "Can I watch you?," she asked quietly. She wasn't sure how Ash would react.

"That's fine!" Ash said smiling and walking into her work out room. She went straight for the treadmill and turned it on stepping on it and running.

Bailey smiled at her and sat cross-legged on the floor staring at her. She wanted to talk but she didn't want to break the other girl's concentration, so she just sat there. She would speak when she was spoken too. She stared at the girl's legs and then travelled up to the girl's chest. Wow she is so beautiful. How did I get lucky enough to end up with her?

Ash sat there running for about thirty minutes then jumped off breathing slightly hard then walked over to the stepper and started on it. "Yea so this may all seem stupid to you but old habits die hard." She laughed out.

Bailey smiled at her. "No I don't it's stupid at all. It's good that you want to keep in shape." She couldn't help but keep her eyes glued to Ash's beautiful body.

"Well do you ever work out? I mean your in shape if you don't" She looked over at Bailey and admired her. 'I am so lucky.

"No I don't work out at all. I just eat and eat and I still look the same," Bailey chuckled. "As far as being in shape, I am so far from that. You could easily beat me and race, I would probably lose my breath and faint," she joked.

"Well if you ever want to work out we can." She laughed getting off of the stepper and throwing her shirt off because it was getting hot. "Ah now for my jumpropes." She said picking up a jumprope and going at it. [[no pun intended]]

Bailey almost gasped when she saw Ash take her shirt off. She tried to be cool and look like it didn't effect her, but she was doing a bad job of it. She watched Ash start jumping rope. "I can't even jump rope. I think I'm just too clumsy and awkward," she laughed.

"Well like I said before being forced to do all those things you gain balance." She laughed and kept on going.

Bailey just laughed with her and continued to watch her jump rope. "So how long do you do this a night?" Bailey yawned and stretched her stiff legs. It felt like she had been sitting there forever.

"Um I never really kept track." She admitted honestly.

"Really?," Bailey questioned, surprised, looking up at her. "So you just keep going until you feel like you should stop?"

"Yea pretty much." She said still jumping.

"Wow," Bailey smiled at her. "I would of stopped a long time ago," she laughed, staring at Ash.

"Most people would. I am actually gross to guys because of my sixpack and my muscles." She said looking down at herself kind of sad. She stopped jumping. "I want to go in my saltwater pool do you want to?"
