“No! I just think you look really good right now,” Ashley said defensively, sighing. “I didn’t meant to tease, babe.”

Lucas stood up, his cheeks still pink.
“Well, are you going to…?” He trailed off, raising an eyebrow, deciding to tease her. “Or should I help?”
group
Ashley blinked a couple of times, her cheeks heating up at the same time she smirked a little. “I mean… If you wouldn’t mind…”

Lucas’s cheeks flames a little, but he didn’t give Ashley a chance as he walked together to her and tugged on her shirt.
(Skip? Lol.)

(Lol. NOT IT. 😂)

(Damn it!)
Lucas wrapped the towel around himself, breathless and exhausted. It took his everything to not claim Ashley right there and then, and his beautiful girlfriend did nothing to help.
“I hate you,” he grumbled, stepping out of the shower.
group
Ashkey chuckled softly and grabbed the other towel, wrapping it around herself as she stepped out.
“I have very strong evidence against that,” she teased with a pat on her belly. She couldn’t wait until she started to show. Right now, she just looked like her normal self, if a little more tired than usual.

Lucas groaned.
“You’re going to kill me one day,” he muttered under his breath.
group
Ashley gasped in feigned offense. “Babe, no! I would never kill you!” she exclaimed, trying not to laugh.

"You might not," he started, looking at her from head to toe. "But your body might."
group
Ashley coughed, blushing deeper than usual at his blatant checking-out of her. “R-right. Of course.”

Lucas grinned with his eyes closed.
"Well, I suppose we should put some clothes on now. I've got like, twenty minutes to get to college."
group
“Oh, yeah. I forgot about classes for a while,” Ashley chuckled softly, moving so she could step out the door and into their room. “I might go later, but I’m still feeling sorta woozy…”

"Please don't go," Lucas shook his head, following after Ashley. "What if you start feeling worse?"
group
Ashley sighed and turned back to face him, giving him a slightly tired look.
“I’m not saying that I’m for sure going, but if I feel better then I might,” she explained. “That’s all, okay?”

Lucas bit his lower lip, running his fingers through his wet hair. He knew he was being a little too protective, but he couldn't help himself.
"All right," he said, walking past her to get to his closet. He took out a shirt, shorts and some jeans. He put the shirt on first before dropping the towel tied around his waist. The rest of the clothes followed after.
Once he was done, he turned to give Ashley what he hoped was a convincing smile.
"I'll leave early," he said to her. "Text me if you decide to attend other classes."
group
Ashley had just finished dressing in a set of comfy, light pink pajamas when Lucas spoke. She glanced over at him, adjusting the strap her tank top.
“Oh… Sure, okay,” she said softly. “I’ll see you later, then…”

Lucas exited the apart shortly afterward, sighing deeply. He still had about ten minutes, so he brought the engine to life to drive off.
Ever since Ashley got pregnant, Lucas couldn't deny things had become a little… tense(?) between them. He was gradually becoming too childish and obsessive, protective beyond necessary.
"Well, whatever…" he muttered, shaking his head.
(What now? Whatever it is…
NOT IT)
group
(Aw, man… But it’s my birthday… 😰
Lol. Um… Maybe there’s a bit of tension when he comes home? Stress or something?)
Ashley sighed heavily and laid back on the bed. She hadn’t meant to snap at him like she had. Her emotions just seems all out of wack lately, not that that was an excuse. She still should have tried to be more patient with him…

(Sounds good! :D)
When college ended, Lucas entered his house, took off his shoes and put them neatly in the side, despite his urge to kick something.
College… hadn't gone exactly as Lucas would have liked to. He messed up real bad, and he lost his chance. He was furious at himself. He'd been too caught up with the stress of his pregnant girlfriend that he completely screwed up his chance at earning himself a place in that team.
He'd worked hard for it, but it seemed to be pointless.
Lucas didn't bother announcing his arrival. He merely stalked to the kitchen, pulled out a carton of grape juice, poured it into a glass and took a gulp of it.
group
Ashley heard the door close from her spot on the bed. She had decided to stay home for the rest of the day because she really wasn’t feeling much better. Since she had stayed home, she had gotten some more studying done.
“Lucas? Is that you?” she called, standing and making her way to the kitchen.

Lucas heard Ashley’s voice, but he chose to stay silent, instead drowning his juice to cool himself down.
He hoped she wouldn’t try to talk to him. He didn’t want to snap at her. It wasn’t right to be angry at her for something that wasn’t even her fault.
group
“Lucas?” Ashley tried again, stepping into the kitchen. He looked upset… Was it because of what she’d said earlier? She softened her voice to ask, “Babe, are you okay?”

“Don’t,” Lucas said in a low voice. “Don’t talk to me right now. Please. I don’t want to upset you, or do something I don’t want to do.”
God, he loved her voice. He loved the soft feeling that came with it, but he couldn’t be in her presence. Not unless he wanted to lash out. Not unless he wanted to snap at her.
group
Ashley flinched slightly at his tone, the movement barely perceptible unless you were paying close attention to her. She nodded slowly and backed out of the kitchen with a quiet, “Okay…”

Lucas sighed loudly, putting his glass on the shelf, taking a deep breath.
“Damn it,” he cursed, tugging at his own hair. The hurt in her voice killed him. What was he even doing? Why did he hurt her like this? But he did this exactly so he didn’t hurt her more. He was feeling terrible right now and he didn’t want to say the wrong thing. “I’m such an idiot…”
The in-class competition hadn’t even started and the teacher already removed him from the selected candidates. Because he snapped in class. Because the team he lead, he lead poorly. Because he snapped at them because of the stress eating at him. He deserved what he got.
group
Ashley walked back into their room and rubbed at her face. What was going on? Where had all this tension come from? And it wasn’t the good tension, either, that came from a heated look or a long kiss. It was a biting, aching tension that made her want to just sit and cry. And she hated it.

Lucas shook his head, put the box of juice back in the fridge and grabbed his back.
He took out the notes he gathered for Ashley (no matter how frustrated he was, he didn’t forget) before walking into their room.
“Ashley?” He called, trying to sound calm.
group
Ashley pulled her hands away from her face at the sound of her boyfriend’s voice. She looked up at him and gave him a small smile, seeing the papers in his hands.
“Hey… Are those my notes?” she asked softly.

Lucas nodded, handing them over to her. He was about to walk back out when he stopped and looked at her hard.
Her eyes looked glassy. She was tearing up.
Shit.
“Ash, I’m not upset at you,” he started, trying to be as gentle as possible despite the irritation he felt. “Okay? I’m not upset at you.”
