Ash had been at the doctor’s to get his trimonthly checkup. something he did a lot as an athlete, including a drug test, just to keep the record clean. And he was wandering back toward his car when he spotted the beautiful and obviously pregnant woman coming out of the Gyn-Obs area.
She looked tired frankly, and maybe a little stressed out, and rather than ignore her, he smiled softly to himself, walked up to her and extended his arm. “Pardon me, beautiful, but could I give you a hand? No woman as gorgeous as yourself should have to walk alone.”
Verity blushed a bit and glanced over shoulder, as if expecting to see the person he was talking to standing behind her. Then she turned back to him, eyebrows raised. “Wait, what?” She asked, a little confused.
“You’re beautiful, and you’re walking alone. And that’s a shame. No woman should have to do that.” He kept his arm extended to her. “So I was and still am, offering you my arm.” He smiled softer. His eyes were warm and admiring. “No creepiness intended, really.”
A smile broke out across Verity’s face. She stepped a little closer, but was still cautious. “...well, this is unexpected?” She said, glancing around and back to him again. “But all right. It’s not far to my car, anyway.”
He offered her his hand. “Good. Then you can see I have no ill intent. Only admiration. Shall we?” He had no desire to hurt her, or be put into the ‘creep’ zone. Just make her feel as desirable as he saw her.
As soon as they were walking, he spoke. “How are you doing today?”
Verity wrapped one hand around his forearm and let him lead her out of the building. “...I’m fine. Admiration?” She asked, giving him a questioning look.
He led her out, smiling. “Yes. A beautiful woman, taking care of business and showing she can deal with things when pregnant when many use it as an excuse to not do anything? Admiration.” He grinned. “And you’re sexy, to boot.”
Verity laughed. “Well, doing what I have to do to get by. I want to make sure I’m healthy, that she’s healthy... I’ve got biweekly appointments to make sure of that.” She walked with him through the door and into the bright sunshine. It was a beautiful day. “You’re kind. But I’m big as a house. I can’t believe I still have almost three months left.”
“Miss, if no one has told you this, I’m shocked, but you look beautiful, and you are very attractive. And that fact that you are working so hard for yourself and this kid? That makes you only more so.” Ash nodded as she spoke about the kid. “Yeah? I’m sure you and your daughter will get through it okay.” He grinned as he walked with her across the lot.
She went very, very pink. “Well, thank you.” It was weird to hear, since she didn’t always feel beautiful. But people like Charlie and Roland and Petie made her feel incredibly so. She smiled warmly. “That’s the plan. I’ve got some people who can help... some close family. We’ll be okay.”
“You’re welcome, miss.” He grinned as he walked along, happily enjoying her company. “Good! I’m glad to hear it.” He smirked over at her. “And don’t let anyone tell you that you look less than gorgeous.”
“Thank you.” Verity said, giving him a smile. They reached her car, and she pulled out her keys to unlock it. “You’re a good Samaritan. I don’t even know your name?”
“I’m not really a good Samaritan, miss. I’m a man who appreciates beauty.” He gave her a grin. “I’m Ash Ketchum, and I’ll escort you anywhere, beautiful. Any time.” He winked at her, then and gave her a bow as he stepped back to let her get in and get settled.
“I hope you have a good trip home, and if you ever want to be admired more, let me know.”
Verity blushed. She opened her car door to start letting some of the heat out. “I’m Verity Ashford,” she said. “I’m on Valarnet. And you can admire me anytime,” she gave him a wink, then slipped into her car and turned it on to get the air conditioning going.
Ash watched her get in and grinned.Then he headed back in for his own appointment grinning and bouncing, and maybe showing off how his pants fit his highly toned legs and ass.
