Brooke didn't waste any time in asking if the both of them were sure they didn't mind, instead taking Mom's word for it, and Ashley's silence as agreement n her part.  Her eyes widened as she caught sight of Ashley, and she was quick to shut the door, not wanting anyone else, but especially Kayla, to find out what was going on, or at least not by stumbling on something by accident.  The rule was to knock if someone's door was closed, just for situations like this one.<br/><br/>A slow smile spread across her face as she took her time studying Ashley's figure, her eyes moving down and back up before she moved further into the room.  "Well, I was hoping to have some company to talk to, but this is a whole lot better," she grinned, blushing at the admission, but knowing truthfulness was expected.  Her eyes moved from Ashley to Mom, not sure what to do, but not knowing how to ask either.  "Mike was supposed to come see me, but I guess he found something else more interesting, and I was... lonely by myself," she explained, unable to keep from looking at Ashley again.  "You're always so pretty, Ashley," she complimented, genuinely meaning it, letting the admiration show on her face.  "I always feel so... plain compared to you," she added, debating whether to sit next to Mom, or stay where she was, feeling a bit awkward, but not enough to lose her nerve and leave them to it without her.
