Ed had been missing Ashleigh a lot. He'd played the good boyfriend and given her some space while her friend was in town. The girl had been so obviously upset and Ed figured Ashleigh could use some quality time with the girl, so even though her timing could not have been worse, he'd gone with it.
That didn't mean he hadn't been ecstatic to hear from his girlfriend once her friend had left again, though, or that he hadn't taken the first opportunity to get her alone just as soon as he could. He'd missed her, after all, and a chance to take this kind of study break was not to be squandered.
"I'd.. rather study.. you," he panted when she suggested they get back to studying, diving right bsck into a deep, desire-filled kiss.
