I'm happy to present another Ashley story. This is a sequel to "Ashley's Bus Ride." As always I appreciate anything anybody has to say.
--------------
Ashley sat down in the comfy chair, a book in hand. She had decided on this lazy afternoon to visit the library. It was Saturday, and spring break. Most kids were down in Florida or somewhere enjoying their time off, but Ashley instead opted to stay at home for the week.
The library was quiet, no students working on research or anything. Ashley had searched the racks of books, and when she found something she thought she might like, she took it over the reading section. The reading section was cozy. It had a lot of comfy chairs and a few small tables all on a slightly raised wooden deck. It was still indoors, but the large window that opened up to the woods behind the library gave it a very relaxing feel.
Ashley took a moment to look out the window, appreciating how nice the day was. Then she relaxed back in the seat, feeling herself sink down into its cushions, as she began to page through the small novel.
She was really happy the way the day was turning out. She was looking forward all week to be able to just take the day off and just enjoying herself. She couldn't think of anything that would be nicer than a quiet evening at the library for that day. She was just so comfortable.
That is, she thought she couldn't think of anything. Although she was quite comfortable, something suddenly changed for her. As she was bobbing her foot on the ground as she read, the back of her shoe came loose, and heel of her foot came into contact with the wood floor.
She still had her ankle socks on, and the feeling only lasted an instant, but she gasped none the less. Her mind suddenly switched gears. No longer was she completely comfortable. No, now she could become more comfortable. There was only one way she could do that she thought.
Ashley sat up and looked in all directions. She wanted to make sure she was absolutely alone. With the way the library was set up, she couldn't even see the front desk, the only place where she had seen people that day. With only one known person there at that time, Ashley wasn't able to stop herself.
Ashley's heel still stuck out of her shoe, but with a little wiggling, her entire foot came out of it. She planted it on the ground as she held her breath. She took the moment in for as long as she could stand. It wasn't long until she was using her toes to help her other foot become free.
Now both her sock clad feet were free from her shoes. She pushed the shoes to her side so her socked feet were all on their own, out in the open. She could feel the cold wood through the soft cotton of her socks. She shifted them against the smooth surface as she closed her eyes and smiled.
Ashley was quite proud of herself. She finally took a deep breath, happy she got away with what she did. Sure it wasn't much, but to her, even removing just her shoes was enough of a thrill. It was just what she wanted. Now again feeling comfortable, Ashley sat back again and began reading the novel she had chosen.
After another page of reading, Ashley began to think again. She did love how her feet felt without her shoes. Yet it wasn't quite perfect. She could tell the wood flooring was smooth and cool to the touch, but she knew there was more to it. The thin cotton of her socks gave a taste, but not a full bite. She again had her neck twisting around to make sure no one was around.
Honestly, mostly people wouldn't think it was a big deal to take their socks off at the library. Sure some might be against it, but Ashley had cute little clean feet. There would be no problem with what she was doing, but in Ashley's world it was a lot. Her heart was beating faster and faster. She wiggled her toes as she bent forward. She grabbed hold of the sides of one of her socks. She then began to peel it right off her foot.
She held her foot in air. The air-conditioned breeze in the room was just enough to bring a large smile to Ashley's face. She wanted to rest her foot down, but she decided she would wait. Next she began to remove of her other sock. Now both her feet were out in the open. She stretched her toes and stifled a slight giggle. She was feeling better and better.
Before anything else, Ashley figured she should hide her socks in her shoes. She didn't want to just leave them sitting about messily after all.
She then looked down at her hovering feet. She licked her lips as she watched them lower. In an instance she was swept over by all the feelings as her bare soles touched the wood floor.
Ashley bounced in her seat as she sat back. She felt great. To most the exposure would seem like very little, but any little inch excited Ashley. She looked around some more to make sure she hadn't been caught or anything. Then she again made an attempt to read through her book.
This was when things become dangerous for Ashley. Getting her feet bare wasn't anything bad, but something happens to Ashley when she gets like this. She can hardly ever stop. Sometimes she doesn't realize its happening, sometimes she does her best to tell herself no. Today the chain-reaction wasn't about to stop either.
As she read her book, she had shifted in her seat a few times. Her skirt was becoming a tad bundled up underneath her. She hated the way it would do that. The material like that wasn't comfortable. She did however like the feel of the leather cushion on her back of her legs.
