Never Stood a Chance

well this is unexpected

We all entered the pizzaria.

"Hey Angelo!" Jake yelled. I was taken aback when he just openly screamed in a public restaurant.

"Jake, my boy" An older italian looking man answered. He was coming from the back so I got the feeling he either worked here or he owned it.

"Ladies this is Angelo. He is the owner of this fine pizzaria. Angelo these lovely ladies are Ava and Alana." He said while pointing to us as he said our name.

"Hello beautiful ladies" He said, then gave each of us a kiss on our hands. He seemed like a friendly man. "Y'all just head to your table and I'll bring the regular up to you guys."

Me and Alana shared a look. "You guys must come here alot. You have your own table and a regular." I said smiling.

They all grinned in return. "Let's just say Angelo is like a father figure in all of our lives." Jeremy said.

"We come here about 6 out of 7 days a week." Adam added.

"Wow, so do y'all all live here?" Alana asked.

"Yeah we all share an apartment with our bud." Blake said.

We all sat down and waited on our food.

"How old are y'all exactly?" I asked.

"Me and Blake are 18, while the twins are 17 about to be 18." Adam said. "What about you guys?"

"We are 17." Alana said."I don't turn 18 until next May, while Ava turns 18 in September."

"Cool, where are you guys from exactly?" Adam asked.

"It's a little town called Bridgeton. It's in North Carolina. It consists of no more than 500 poeple. It's a small place but we love it most of the time." Alana said.

"Wow, y'all traveled a good bit from home." Jeremy said quietly almost like he didn't want to say it at all. Alana was sitting next to him. She smiled at him shyly. Wait she smiled at him shyly? That is definitely a first for Alana. She is never shy around anybody. Hmmmm....

"Here's the regular." Angelo said laying down 2 large sausage pizzas and 1 pepperoni. Wow they eat alot!

"So where's my other boy at. He better be being a good boy." Angelo asked.

"He had a rough night so he is sporting a hang over. He said he might drop by to get some food." Jake said.

"Sounds about right. Get's hammered then comes to me for food. Dang kids these days always laid back without a care in the world." he said, but the happy grin on his face said other wise.

Me and Alana started laughing at the funny italian man talking like that. Angelo looked at us and winked, which we just laughed at that.

"Well I'll be going back to work. You lads be good and treat these ladies well." Angelo said as he turned around. He came to an abrupt stop. "Ahhh, my boy. I was just asking how you were doing."

"Hungover." came a deep familiar voice. It sent shivers down my spine. I knew it sounded familiar but I couldn't remember where I had heard it from.

Angelo chuckled. "Go sit boy, I'll bring you your favorite."

I was sipping my water looking over the balcony at the beach when the guys started talking to the guy.

"Ladies this is our closest bud. He is what you could say like our leader." Jake said.

"These lovely ladies are our new additions to the group. Alana and Ava" Blake said.

I looked up at my name, in the middle of sipping my water, and you guessed it. I pretty much chocked to death as soon as I met HIS eyes. After I calmed down and Alana had stopped beating my back repeatedly, I still hadn't broken eye contact. He was looking at me with the sexiest smirk a guy could have.

"Asher" I whispered at the same time as Jake said "Ash my man."

Alana stared at me open mouthed as soon as Jake said his name. She had a face that pretty much asked me if this was the guy from last night. I could only nod. Wow. I guess I was completely wrong when I thought that L.A. was to big and I probably wouldn't see him again. Well this should be interesting.
