	Ash led the way back inside the gym hall, she could see just how many people had decided to come back for the event. She smiled as she saw familiar faces and she greeted them in stride as she released Marc's arm and gave out her hugs and cheek kisses and exchanged all the pleasantries now that everything was far more relaxed than mere moments before. It was a nice change of pace to be creating a positive memory in this place. Ash eyed the decorations within the hall with more interest this time, noting how much of her best friend's personality had been included in her set up. Marc gave nods and smiles to people, but he kept quiet, letting Ash enjoy herself. He wasn't one to be direct if he didn't need to be and today he had needed to be far more than normally. Smiling, Ash said her final farewells to those that had asked for her attention and grabbed Marc's arm again, Marc resting his hand over hers as they walked away from the main crowd. 

	Finding a quieter spot to stand and talk, Ash turned to her ex-boyfriend and smirked. [color=crimson]"So what did you have in mind with messing with our dear best friends that just love to cause us nothing but emotional upheaval at the most inopportune moments?"[/color] Her hands were resting on her hips and her head was cocked to one side as she looked Marc over. He really had come into his own after high school. A pang hit her chest and stomach as she realised that she shouldn't be thinking that way about him. Al would pitch a bitch fit if he found out she'd had those kinds of thoughts. He was already wary about her coming here without him because of so many of her ex-boyfriends being here but she had talked him down from it all and he'd agreed to let her have a good time with her old friends without him. She'd need to call him soon to let him know everything was fine... even though it wasn't but that was besides the point.

	[color=82ca9d]"Well, nothing huge because of what they have been through but..."[/color] he began before pausing for a moment; reaching up and pulling a small bit of confetti from Ashley's hair and then running his hand lightly down her hair to smooth it back down. Raising an eyebrow, Ash wondered if the man had developed the ability to read minds until she saw a cute little smile was on his lips as he held up the red bit of shimmering paper before flicking it off his finger and letting it float to the floor with the rest of the pieces dotting the ground. Clearly she had to get a grip of herself, it must be the idea of being back in high school that's making all these old feelings come back. That has to be it...

	[color=82ca9d]"Well, they are probably headed somewhere private. You can get to most anywhere in Grimm in what? Five minutes? So I say give it another ten and then give them a call. Ask where the punch ladle is, wait a few more minutes, call again, ask where something else is, a few more minutes, ask if the Dj was paid before hand. I say we rag them until they stop answering. Then we start texting," [/color] he laughed. 

	[color=crimson]"That sounds too perfect and harmless so I am definitely in."[/color] She gave him a wink as she slipped her phone out and prepared to call before realising that they had to wait until they made it wherever they were going. Rolling her eyes at herself and gently slapping her forehead with the palm of her free hand she put her phone away in her clutch and shrugged her shoulders. [color=crimson]"Blonde moment, whoops!"[/color] Marc couldn't help but chuckle at her antics. She was just as she was in high school. Smart as a whip but had her moments. It was still as adorable as ever. Glancing over to DJ, Ash smiled and was glad to see he didn't look as destroyed as he had before then she scowled a little when she noticed the woman claiming to be Ada's cousin.

	Turning to Marc she motioned her head subtly over to DJ and "Jess" before folding her arms. [color=crimson]"Do you have any idea who the wannabe Grimaldi is? I don't think I've ever seen her before."[/color] There was a slight scowl on her face as she glanced back over to the pair before turning her full attention back to Marc.

	[color=82ca9d]"You're guess is as good as mine. I thought we knew all the family. But looks like Lawson is okay with her, so I don't know. Would think Ada would have said something. I dunno, there is something about her but I just can't put my finger on it,"[/color] he said as he watched Lawson speaking with her before turning his attention back to Ashley. 

	[color=crimson]"I've never heard of a cousin Jess in my life and you know how much I'm part of that family, same as you. Something ain't right about it."[/color] Pursing her lips, Ash looked over again and rubbed her hands up and down her upper arms as they were crossed over her chest. [color=82ca9d]"Yeah, especially with everything going on,"[/color] he said as he reached over and rubbed her arms slightly. [color=82ca9d]"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you Ash."[/color] She wrinkled her nose at him and smiled at his kind words. [color=crimson]"I know you won't."[/color]

	Shaking her head and looking to Marc again she shrugged her shoulders and sighed. [color=crimson]"I mean, at least she isn't causing any issues and is keeping poor DJ company but I'm going to keep an eye on her. Oh, hang on."[/color] Ash leaned forward and pinched a piece of confetti that had floated onto Marc's shirt collar and flicked it away with a light chuckle. He grinned slightly as he looked down at the piece of confetti. Ada and her decorations. 

	[color=crimson]"I swear, Ada is amazing at decorations [i]and[/i] getting her decorations in all manner of nooks and crannies. The reason I stopped hooking up with people at her parties."[/color] A large grin lit up her face and she remembered the last time that she and Marc had tried to make out at a luau bash that Ada had hosted at Ash's place. [color=crimson]"Do you remember Ada's luau in senior year? That coconut hair is not comfortable against the skin! I'm scarred for life, I swear."[/color]

	[color=82ca9d]"How could I forget?"[/color] he said softly. The coconuts were a pain and their did scratch up his scalp a bit but he could still remember how adorable Ashley looked in the grass skirt Ada had handed out for the girls and her little floral bikini top. Didn't matter what she wore, she had always owned it. [color=82ca9d]"You were as stunning then as you are now."[/color]

	Ash felt her chest tighten a little and she tried to hide the joy on her face. She knew she looked good, hell her career was based around her looks but it was always nice to hear it from someone who's opinion she respected. She leaned forward and gave Marc a quick kiss on his cheek before lightly rubbing away her lipstick from his skin with her thumb. [color=crimson]"You're sweet, hun, but you don't have to compliment me anymore. You're a free agent, remember? Or did you get yourself settled down after all this time and didn't tell us?"[/color] She wiggled her eyebrows playfully at him.

	Marc just laughed and shook his head. [color=82ca9d]"Damn, tell a girl she is pretty and she tells you to stop. Don't tell her anything and she bitches you don't say enough. I can't win with you can I?"[/color] he said as he poked her nose playfully. Ash just shook her head and grinned at his accusation. Tilting his head to the side he just smiled a bit to her and shrugged. [color=82ca9d]"Oh god no. Haven't had anyone really get close to me since high school. Work and all you know."[/color]

	[color=crimson]"Well that's a shame. You're denying women everywhere the chance to get with a disciplined, caring, gentle and handsome man with a good job and everything that comes with it. There is no doubt a slew of women cursing your name in the night."[/color] Marc burst out laughing and had to lean back against the wall as he held his side. She gently shoved his shoulder as she looked back over to DJ and "Jess" talking by the bleachers. She grabbed her phone back out of her purse and looked back to Marc with mischief in her eyes. [color=crimson]"It's been long enough, yes? Would you like the honours or shall I?"[/color] 

	Finally containing his mirth he looked over to her and gestured for her to go ahead. [color=82ca9d]"Oh please my queen, you take first shot at this. They would know it was a prank if I called and asked where the punch ladle is. Ada probably wouldn't even believe I know what a ladle is."[/color] Snorting with laughter, Ash looked up from her phone in surprise at the noise that just escaped her and she laughed some more. After a second of calming herself down she hit Kai's number (since Ada's phone was wrecked) and listened to it ringing.

[center][b][i]Meanwhile[/i][/b][/center]

	Ada looked over her shoulder as Kai drove them out of the parking lot and had to giggle to herself as she saw Ashley and Marc still outside just gawking at them. She knew they should have told them they were leaving but she also knew they were both full of questions right now and that was the last thing she wanted to deal with. Smiling to herself she turned back around in the seat and leaned against Kai gently, her hand resting on his thigh as they drove towards his hotel. She felt herself getting a little nervous, like she used to back in high school when they first started dating and were able to be alone. 

	He drove faster than he usually would as he took Ada away from all the questions and the people she wanted to avoid. He was glad that she had cleared the air with her, god it was weird to say it, [i]husband[/i] but he was extra glad that she had asked him to get her out of there. They needed some time together and this was the perfect way to get it. No one knew what hotel he was staying at, he hadn't even told Ash because he knew she'd try to get him a better place and he refused to let her spend more money on him.

	Smiling down to Ada he kissed her head and rested on her a little as he drove. It wasn't long until they made it to the Great Wolf Lodge (Grimm branch). It was nice, quiet and quaint. Just how Kai liked it. Pulling into the parking space outside his room door, Kai shut the engine off and jumped out of his truck. Making his way around to Ada's side, he opened her door and helped lift her down to the ground before he locked up the truck. Scooping her back up in his arms, Ada's arms wrapping around his broad shoulders, he walked towards his room, his key in hand. [color=cc5200]"C'mon, I'm room 007. And just an aside note, I changed my last name to Bond, just in case you were wondering."[/color] She couldn't help but giggle a little bit at his words and just rolled her eyes slightly at him. It was nice to see him joking around again. He grinned down to her and kissed her lightly on the lips as he unlocked the door with one hand, Ada's lips rolling together as she savored the taste he left on them. He kicked the door open and gently placed her down on the end of the bed.

	[color=a187be]"Might want to close and lock that thing before Ash or Marc finds us,"[/color] she laughed slightly as she slipped her thin over shirt off and laid it down on the bed next to her. Reaching down she slipped her one remaining shoe off and stood up. The wrap helped, a lot, but she was still careful as she grabbed her over shirt off the bed and wandered over to the dresser; placing both down on it. Looking in the mirror she let out a nervous breath. Why was she so nervous? They were just two people, two adults; who loved each other, who were alone in a hotel room, who hadn't been this close in a decade. Oh yeah, that was exactly why she was nervous. Slowly she turned around and glanced over to Kai as she leaned back against the dresser. In the reflection of the mirror behind her was her tattoo and the scars it covered. 

	[color=cc5200]"I hear ya, I'll lock up now."[/color] Smiling, he spun the key around his finger. The door shut with a gentle click and Kai locked it up before drawing the blinds and curtains closed in the room. He switched on the wall sconces and a floor lamp that was sitting in the corner nearest the bathroom door. He turned around to see Ada leaning against the dresser and he noticed the scars and her tattoo. It definitely looked different. Concern was clear on his face as he walked towards her, his body pressing against hers lightly as he ran his hands down her back. Ada tilted her head to the side as she watched his face, the concern in his eyes caused worry to rise in hers. His fingers slid over the bumps and scars on her skin, Ada could feel herself quiver as his fingers caressed the bare skin of her back, and he looked at the ink via the mirror. Those were Hawaiian tribal patterns.

	He chewed his lower lip and took his hands from her body, running them through his hair nervously. [color=cc5200]"Are those scars from the crash?"[/color] He rested a gentle hand on her right shoulder, his thumb drawing circles on her skin as he looked down to her. Ada took a long breath and looked down as she rested her hands on his chest, her fingers fiddling with the buttons on his shirt. Nodding slowly she bit her bottom lip nervously. This wasn't exactly something she talked about but he wanted to know, she wouldn't deny him an answer. Not now, not after everything. 

	[color=a187be]"Yeah, a Semi T-boned my car while I was driving from Yale back to Grimm. I was in Ohio when it happened. I was flung from the car during the crash and landed on my back. Doctors said I ended up skidding across the road for a ways. I don't remember it. I just know what they told me."[/color] she said quietly as she lifted her eyes to look up into his; her own eyes glistening. He sighed and gently pulled her into him. His arms wrapped around her and he rested his cheek on the top of her head as he cradled her close to him. Ada clung to his shirt as she rested her head on his chest, her eyes drifting close as she just took the moment to listen to his heart beat. He breathed her in for a minute before he leaned back from her and ducked down to her height, her eyes drifting open to gaze into his. [color=cc5200]"I'm so sorry that you went through that. I'm even more sorry that I wasn't there to help you recover but I'm glad that you are alright."[/color]

	Ada simply nodded, she really was not sure what to say to him right then. It wasn't his fault that he wasn't there when it happened. At least she didn't believe it was. Reaching up she ran her fingers through his hair, pushing it back slowly. Those eyes seemed to pierce right through her, even more so than before. Before they were young and hadn't a care in the world. Now they had both suffered their own losses and pains because of that night. Nothing could change any of it but every thing good with him seemed so much more than before; deeper. She could feel the butterflies flittering in her stomach, her breath shallowing as she looked into his eyes. 

	He took a breath and steadied himself as the nerves took over. He didn't want to hold back anymore. He grabbed her and planted a deep kiss on her lips, Ada's fingers curling in his hair as she fell into the kiss; his hands drifted under her backside and he lifted her up onto the top of the dresser as he held her close to him. Ada brought her knees up, wrapping her legs around his waist as the moment deepened. Her heart racing in her chest as her lips danced over his. He didn't want to be separate from her anymore, they never should have been apart. It was time to fix this mistake in their lives.

	It had been so long since she had been close to anyone; far too long. And even longer than she had been close to anyone she truly cared about on this level. Every touch, each feel was like the the first time all over again. Except now they were not two teens fumbling in the bed of his truck. Old memories flooded Kai's mind as he took in every piece of his Anela that he could. He remembered their first hand hold, their first hug, their first kiss, their first sleepover, their first... everything. He held her so close and so hard to his own body he was surprised he wasn't hurting her. He was losing himself in her and she in him, it was sheer bliss.

	And then his phone began to ring in his pocket. He pulled away too slowly and reluctantly, his breathing ragged as he rested his forehead on Ada's. Ada whimpered softly, she really did not want to answer any damn phone and right then was very grateful hers was broken. [color=cc5200]"We should probably answer this... We did run away without a word."[/color] A cheerful grin played on his lips before he licked them, taking in more of the taste of her. Smirking slightly she leaned close and trailed her lips along his neck until she pressed a soft impassioned kiss to the hollow of his throat. His hand trailed down her arm and reached into his pocket to check the caller ID. [color=cc5200]"It's Ash."[/color] Ada just shrugged as she continued to tease him; [color=a187be][i]"this better be important,"[/i][/color] she thought to herself. 

	[color=cc5200]"Hello? Ash? What's up?"[/color] He sounded a little out of breath. He grinned down at Ada and stuck his tongue out at her as she teased him some. He shuddered at the feel of her lips.

	[color=crimson]"Hey Kai, mind putting Ada on the phone? I need to talk to her for a quick sec."[/color] That breath didn't sound PG. Ash rose an eyebrow at Marc and made a comically disgusted face at the phone.

	[color=cc5200]"Uh, yeah, sure Ash. One sec."[/color] Ash pursed her lips as she heard the phone being passed over to Ada. She shifted her head to be beside Marc's, letting him listen in to the exchange, her head resting against his. Ada leaned back slowly and narrowed her eyes a bit. She [i]really[/i] didn't want to talk right then and it took everything in her not to spat out, "[color=a187be][i]"someone else better be dead."[/i][/color]

	[color=crimson]"Hey Ada sweetie. Listen, do you know where the punch ladle is? We can't find it anywhere and the hired help don't seem to have a clue what a ladle is! If I didn't know any better I'd think Marc had hired them!"[/color] She winked at him and stifled her laughter. Marc had to cover his mouth to keep from laughing into the phone. 

	[color=a187be]"Have you tried looking right next to the punch bowl?"[/color] she said growled breathlessly, her legs tensing around Kai's waist a bit as she leaned back and nearly jumped out of her skin as her back touched the cold surface of the mirror. 

	[color=crimson]"One sec, let me just check again real quick."[/color] Ash motioned for Marc to follow her and she walked over towards the noise and bustle of those in the hall before shouting into the phone again. [color=crimson]"I swear it wasn't there earlier! These things just seem to grow legs of their own, y'know? Thanks babes. Be safe now kiddies!"[/color] She giggled and hung up the phone. Ada's growled slightly under her breath. Ashley bothered her about that?!?!

	Kai rose an eyebrow at Ada and took his phone back, pocketing it before diving back into their kiss, his arms grabbing her and lifting her across the room towards the bed where he gently laid her down and lay atop her, kissing her deeper. He'd probably have thrown her but he didn't want to aggravate her injury by mistake. Ada quickly forgot about the call as she felt Kai against her and lost herself in their embrace. Her hands slipping from around him and to his chest, fumbling with buttons on his shirt. 

	[color=crimson]"Well Ada certainly wasn't happy at that phone call. Let's do it again!"[/color] She bounced up and down on the spot like a small kid. March busted out laughing, wrapping his arm around Ashley and looking around, what could they call about this time. An idea popped into his head as he pulled out his phone and dialed Kai's number. [color=82ca9d]"Oh I got it,"[/color] he laughed before taking a deep breath and composing himself as he hit the call button. Letting it ring and waiting for him to answer. 

	The phone rang and they could feel it buzzing between their bodies. Kai growled under his breath as he, once again, reluctantly pulled away from Ada to look at his phone. He leaned back and rested on his knees at the end of the bed as he looked down to Ada and let his eyes wander down her body hungrily. Ada's chest rose and fell drastically as she tried to catch her breath, her eyes looking over Kai as he sat back. He pulled his phone out slowly and looked down to the screen. [color=cc5200]"For fuck sake."[/color] He hit the answer button and practically roared down the phone. Perking a brow she sat up and wrapped her arms around her knees as she brought them to her chest. 

	[color=cc5200]"[i]Yes Marc?[/i]"[/color] He was breathing shakily through his nose, his eyes never leaving Ada's at this point.

	[color=a187be][i]"What the hell does he want?"[/i][/color] she growled in a whisper as she narrowed her eyes. 

	[color=82ca9d]"Hey man, listen; what was that song we all did the that dance that looked like a bunch of chickens when we were in high school? I can't for the life of me remember. Wanted to have the Dj play it."[/color] Marc was doing everything he could to sound completely serious and it wasn't a huge stretch, Marc had Kai play that damn song ten times at the party after homecoming. Ash was bent over double, laughing as silently as she could in the background. Her fists hitting against her thighs as she enjoyed the moment. 

	[color=cc5200]"You're shitting me, right? The Birdie Song by Black Lace otherwise known as The Chicken Dance song. Marc, you know this man. Now unless it's really super fucking important, don't call."[/color] Kai hung up and placed the phone on the bedside table as he fell back into Ada. His hands trailing her body as he tried to forget the anger he was feeling towards Marc right then. Ada moaned softly as she pealed her lips from his; her lips trailing to his ear and nibbling softly as she pulled herself closer to him. She wore if that phone rang again and it wasn't important she was going to chuck it down the toilet at this point. 

	[color=82ca9d]"Oh he's pissed, your turn,"[/color] Marc laughed as he fell back against the wall and slid down onto the floor in full sprawled out laughter at that point. He hadn't had this much fun in ages and seeing Ashley laughing the way she was just brightened his whole day up.  

	[color=crimson]"We'll leave it a couple of minutes first. That'll make it even more infuriating... Just when they start to relax and think they're getting peace, BAM! Sorry lovebirds, your tune is being cut short."[/color] Ashley practically cackled at this point and looked around the room trying to find a good and ridiculous reason to call them again. After a few minutes she spied the bar and she grinned.

	[color=crimson]"I've got it..."[/color] Pulling out her phone and bringing up Kai's number, she hit dial.

	The temperature was definitely rising in the room as shown by Kai's lack of a shirt. He grabbed Ada and rolled over until she sat atop him, his hands gripped at her undershirt and he began to tug on it right as his phone vibrated on the bedside table. Groaning, Kai rested his right hand on Ada's hip as he reached over and grabbed the phone. Ada pushed her hair back out of her face, her fingers resting on his stomach as they fanned out; her eyes narrowing as Kai picked up the phone and told her who it was. [color=cc5200]"It's fucking Ash again. I swear to [i]god[/i] if no one is dead I am going to throw this phone out of the window."[/color]

	His face was set in a hard frown and his voice was hard as he answered. [color=cc5200]"What. Now?"[/color] 

	[color=crimson]"Hey Kai, so sorry to bother again! I need Ada for a quick sec, promise it's important!"[/color] Ash had practically swallowed her lips as she tried to stop the laughter from pouring out.

	Kai silently held the phone out to Ada, his face saying everything that he wasn't. There was nothing but lines of irritation and impatience etched in every part of it. Ada took the phone from Kai, her chest rising and falling with each breath she drew. She just stared at it for a minute before finally placing it to her ear.

	[color=a187be]"Ash, I swear to fucking god if this isn't important the next body Marc will find in a net will be yours,"[/color] she growled into the phones receiver. 

	Ash actually flinched at the sound of Ada's voice and she looked at Marc with a look that was somewhere between shock and terror. She instinctively threw the phone at Marc and then snorted with laughter, her hands covering her mouth in surprise at what she had just done. Marc barely caught the phone and gulped a bit. He had no idea what to say or what Ada had said to have Ash get that initial look on her face. 

	[color=82ca9d]"Hey Ada..."[/color] he said, trying to clear his throat and searching for something to ask about. 

	[color=a187be]"What the fuck do you want!"[/color] she bellowed. Marc's eyes widened and he just hung up. Ada narrowed her eyes at the phone as the call ended. [color=a187be]"Makana, remind me to break his nose later,"[/color] she growled as she held down the power button and turned the damn thing off before chucking it over into the lounge chair in the corner of the room. Shaking her head she took a deep breath to calm her anger before her eyes traveled back over towards Kai. Seeing him there, feeling his hand against her hip she couldn't help but smile as she leaned forward and rested her hands on either side of his head. [color=a187be]"If they want to bother us again, they'll have to find us. Now, where were we?"[/color] she whispered against his ear. 

	Kai grinned but raised a single finger and gently shifted Ada off of his body and onto the bed as he walked over to the phone. He wiggled the phone at her and then removed the battery from the back before he tucked it under the pillow of the chair and grinned wider. [color=cc5200]"I don't want them coming and finding us. I know Marc's silly little tricks he pulls, pretty sure he put a tracker in my damn phone. But it won't work without the battery in it. Now... I believe we were discussing some very important matters..."[/color] Ada gave Kai a sultry smile as she rested back on the bed, her hands running along her body as she looked at him. He had a playful and downright childish look to his face as he pounced on the bed causing Ada to giggle like she was in high school all over again and began kissing Ada on every inch of exposed skin he could find, letting his beard and lips tickle her with light little kisses. Ada's eyes closed, enjoying every moment of his attention and a supple moan escaping her lips between the soft giggles he brought forth with each light touch. This was going to be a very long and very enjoyable night...

	Ash raised her eyebrows and then fell about laughing. If it weren't for years of walking and living in her heels, she'd most likely have fell right to the floor with it all. [color=crimson]"Oh my god I'm so sorry Marc! God I haven't heard her yell at me like that since I told her I was dating Atlas for the first time... and the second... and the third... oh fuck it, anytime I ever told her I was dating Atlas."[/color] Ash walked over to Marc and slung an arm around his shoulder as she took her phone from him.

	March smirked as she wrapped an arm around her shoulder as she took the phone back. [color=82ca9d]"I think we better hope they don't get bothered anymore tonight otherwise they might kill us in the morning; but it was so worth it,"[/color] he said, hardly able to contain his laughter.[hr]
