We continued to stand there attempting to listen to the band. I say attempting because we we’re both too busy stealing glances at one another to really be paying attention to what was going on around us. I could feel her eyes on me, not in a creepy way but, as if she was just studying me, my face, my movements. She leaned over close to my ear and again I shuttered as her hot breath hit my neck. “You want something to drink?” I looked over at her and simply nodded. I stuck my hand in my pocket intent on giving her some money for my drink, she just shook her head as she put her hand on mine to stop me. She chuckled a bit and smiled at me, “There is no way I’m letting you pay.” I mouthed “thank you” and she returned a “my pleasure”. Again with her pleasure, I’m beginning to think she is just teasing me. She extended an arm for me to walk ahead of me, I just smiled, she was not at all what I expected. She was going out of her way it seemed to look out for me, I really liked that! She was a very pleasant surprise. We made our way to the bar, I smiled as I felt her unconsciously rest her hand on my lower back as if to guide me, yet it felt again as if she were protecting me. When we reached the bar, I noticed that Kyla was seated on one of the stool while a short red-head stood in between her legs, they were doing some heavy flirting and the girl’s hands were all over Kyla. Ashley looked over at me and followed my gaze to look at her sister. She just shook her head, “She gets like that sometimes.” Honestly I should’ve have felt bad, what kind of friend was I that it took this long for me to realize Kyla’s lack of presence. “Don’t let it bother you.”, she smiled as if knowing exactly what I was thinking. I smiled lightly, she was too much. “So what’ll be?”, the bartender purred looking at me. Ashley looked over at me, questioning me with her eyes, touching my shoulder. The bartender furrowed her brow and frowned at this. “Rum & Coke.”, I said laughing lightly. “I’ll have the same.”, Ashley said smiling at the girl as if mocking her. The bartender grunted before leaving to get our drink orders. “I think you have a fan, Spence.”, she smiled. “Yeah, and she doesn’t seem to like you.”, I joked. “Yeah I know I cant imagine why!”, she said full of sarcasm as the bartender shot a glance in our direction and Ashley smiled putting her arm around me mocking her. “You’re incorrigible.”, I said laughing. “I couldn’t help it, man if looks could kill. You have to admit it was funny.”, she smiled again. I tried to hold in my laughter as we looked at the girl’s evil glare that she continued to give Ashley. I failed miserably falling it’s a fit of laughter, she joined in. I noticed when she smiled widely her nose crinkled, God that is adorable. The bartender returned sitting our drinks down a little harder than necessary, Ashley simply smiled handing some money. We both laughed before walking over to sit down at a booth. We continued to watch the band and sipping our drinks, not really saying anything, merely enjoying each other’s company. It was nice, I cant believe how comfortable I feel around her, she makes me feel like I’ve known her my whole life.

Before we both knew it the band was finished and people began to disperse. It was time to leave but, God I didn’t want the night to end. We stood up and walked outside, Ashley stopped at the door and was met by a goliath-sized by Mike, then he took both her and I by surprise by doing the same to me. I awkwardly patted his huge shoulder as he held me in the air like a rag doll. This made Ashley chuckle of course. He finally put me down and we continued our walk to the parking lot. As we approached to where Kyla parked I watched as an emotion crosses her features, I think it was sadness or dread. When rounded the corner we saw them, Kyla had the same red-head from before pinned against the door of her mustang, they were practically having sex there. Ashley shook her head again, “Spence, I don’t want to tell you what to do but, if I were you I would not stay at your dorm room tonight. Believe me I lived across the hall from her and you don’t want to be around that.” “I live with her, were am I suppose to go.”, I sighed slightly annoyed. She shifted from foot to foot, kicking at the gravel with the toe of her shoe. “Well, you can crash at my place if you want.”, she looked up at me with hopeful eyes.
