Ashley was shaking as she comes closer to the door so she could hit the thief that was coming in.  The door slowly opened at first, she then saw what it seems to be a person's head that was about to peek, then the door suddenly slams wide open.

She raised her arms while holding the baseball bat with her two hands.  She then closed her eyes and made a sign of a cross before she was about to hit the thief on his/her head.

She began counting in her head, 'One, two, three!' Then ready to swing the baseball bat, when she suddenly heard a man shouted out loud.  It was so loud that it could wake up the dead.

"STOP!!! Ashley!!! It is I, your husband!!!" Tanaga exclaimed loudly, then quickly went inside the room and hugged his wife as tight as he could. 

  "Woman, what are you trying to do, kill me?" Tanaga whispered to Ashley, who's still shaking from being scared wits.  He slowly removes the baseball from Ashley's tight hold.

Ashley was stunned by how quick everything was happening.  She stood like a log and unable to move. She slowly opened the left eye, then the right eye… Once she had all her eyes wide opened, she peeked at Tanaga first, making sure that it's him that's currently embracing her.

Once she was sure that it was him, she then felt relief and able to breathe.  She let go of the baseball bat that she was holding and planning on using. She then began hitting Tanaga on his chest.

"You're the stupid one!  You know that I'm here by myself, why would you come in like a thief.  What do you think would come to my mind?" Ashley was screaming at the top of her lungs while she's shooting dagger to her husband.

"Sweetheart!  Didn't you think that you have bodyguards outside?  How in the world a thief would be able to come inside if they are guarding your door.  Even downstairs at the door, they have a security guard too. You are too paranoid." Said Tanaga with disbelief.

While Tanaga was scolding Ashley, he suddenly realizes that she just finished taking a shower, and she smells so good.  Therefore, he didn't think twice and lifted her before taking her straight to their ma.s.sive bed.

Ashley tries to wiggle out of Tanaga's embrace.  "Put me down! Hey, come on! Put me down!!! Why are you acting like a maniac?  Every time you see me naked, there's only one thing in your mind. Is that all I am to you?" While she was. .h.i.tting him in his chest.

"Excuse me? Why, don't I have the right to be a maniac when it comes to you?  What?! What Tanaga was thinking was, it's because they are now married. It's his right as her husband to wanted to sleep with her whenever he sees her b.u.t.t naked.

Unfortunately, that's didn't sound right in Ashley's hearing.  What she thought Tanaga meant was it's because of the contract they had signed.  Therefore, whenever he wants it, and no matter what time of the day it is, she should comply.  That didn't bode well with Ashley at all. The contour of her face suddenly changed sour, and she pushed Tanaga away from her.

"Wait a minute, wait a d.a.m.n minute!  We need to have a heart to heart talk.  Don't think just because we have a contract that I should just spread my leg open whenever you want.  You need to consider my feeling too, what do you think of me? A piece of…" She didn't finish what she's about to say, for she's about to have a world war III with the j.a.panese man.

Tanaga was stunned from Ashley's outburst.  He suddenly began thinking, 'she does have a point in there.  But, it's not my fault that whenever I'm close with her, this little man of mine always standing up tall and proud.  I wonder why? With another woman, they had to work hard give me a hard-on, but with her… Hmmm?'

"I'm Sorry!  Alright!" He then got up and sat down on the top of the bed like a little child pouting. "So,' what do you want us to talk about?  I'm all ears… Tell me?!" While he's still sour about the whole thing.

When Ashley heard the way Tanaga spoke a while ago, she couldn't help herself and look at him straight face.  When she saw how sour puss he looks still, she now has a dilemma of how she was going to tell him that she was planning on staying with Grandmother Hanada's mansion while they are waiting for the result of her pregnancy.

After a while, she found the courage and finally told him.

"I had decided that while we are waiting for the outcome whether we had created life or not, I was going to ask if I could stay with your grandmother Hanada for a while.  That's if it's alright with you?" She asked with her voice barely audible as she spoke.

Tanaga suddenly looks at Ashley while he was unable to think of a word to say.  He continued to stare at her without saying anything, and he tries to comprehend what Ashley meant by wanting to stay with his grandmother. 

But, no matter how hard he works to tell his mind, nothing was sinking in his brain. It doesn't want to register at all.

When he finally spoke, his tone of voice was a little louder than usual.  "So' what your trying to say is that you want to move to grandma while we are waiting for the result.  And why is that? Is it because every time I get near you, I want to be with you?

"Well, let's put it this way… If you don't want me to touch you, then I won't!  I will not force you to do something you don't want too. Lastly, if you're going to go to my grandmother's house, go ahead! It's better for me, for no one would bother me any longer!" He then quickly got up after his outburst and left the room while he slams the door on Ashley.

Ashley was speechless and didn't know what to say or think.  However, in the long run, she decided to accept grandmother Hanada's offer.  She would temporarily stay with her while they were waiting for the result.

Grandmother Hanada was stunned to hear from Ashley.  She wasn't expecting her to be the one calling her. " Grandma Hanada, If that offer still open, I'm kind of hoping it is, for I decided to accept it," Ashley told the old lady who's still in shock. However, she quickly recovered and did her best to sound cheery.

"Of course!  But, child, can I ask you something?  Why did you suddenly change your mind?  Is it because of Ohani? Don't worry about that girl, and she's nothing to Tanaga.  What they had was in the past, and that's where it would stay. Alright!" Granma Hanada advice Ashley.

"The truth is, I understand that grandma.  That was not the reason why I decided and changed my mind.  I only needed some time to be away from Sir Jones for a while.  That's all!" Answered Ashley with sadness in her voice.

Grandma Hanada's eyebrows suddenly rose when she heard Ashley calling Tanaga Sir, Jones. Grandma Hanada thought, 'I need to do something about the situation. I'm afraid that one day, I would find out she already went back to the Philippines.  This is not good, not good at all!' 

She was still in deep thought when Ashley bid her goodbye.  "See you later!"  She said, and hung up.
