Five Years Later:
It was the dead of summer and time for our yearly trip to the states for our cottage trip. At least once a year we go to the cottage to have fun away from the parents. We live on our own but the rents stop by far too many times and it gets a little annoying, mainly when it's a surprise. I love my mom and dad but they get far too protective over me being their only child.
We packed three cars full of stuff before we left. It would take a little over an hour if there was no traffic to get to the bordering Niagara Falls. I was the first to drive from home to the border and then we made a pit stop after I can take over or someone else does. I love the drive as it's always so beautiful this time of year and with a convertible, it's better. Feeling the wind in my hair was amazing as I drove we all jam out to our music.
We make our pit stop so we all get out to take a bathroom break before we drive to the lake house. We all got some food in our bellies before we left again. I was still fine to drive so I got behind the wheel as we were out of there. It would take a little over three hours to get to the lake house so a little over four hours of driving. The girls blasted the music as I followed the guys that were in front of us.
We made it to the house and it was still stunning as every year before. Clara's parents have people who come out here to keep it well throughout the year they aren't here. We got our things and picked our rooms to get settled in. When the sunset and everyone had dinner we all sat in the living room watching tv.
"LET'S START THE PARTY!!" Grace shouts as she holds some booze in her hands.
Everyone started to pour shots so I just sneaked outside as I wasn't a drinker. I was always the sober and the designated driver of the group. I look out off the balcony seeing the moonlight shining on the lake. I take a deep breath in as a soft summer breeze comes by. I hear a little tip-tapping of feet and I get jumped by our ball of floof. I laugh and squat down and pet Dezi as her butt wiggles. She turns around giving me her butt so I start to give her butt scratches.
"Haha, I think Dezi loves you a lot Flare, might even be her fav human." A voice said to make me look to see Triston.
I felt my cheeks heat up as he walked over, "I am the one that takes care of her the most as I'm home the most because of my job."
"That's true also why are you out here on your own? There's a party going on inside, why not join and have fun?" He placed a hand on my back.
"I'm not much of a party kind of person, even with it only being with my close friends. I'm very much an introvert and like my alone time sometimes. I only get dragged to parties when they want a driver to get home." I turn around leaning my back on the railing and looking inside at everyone drinking and dancing.
"How about I stay out here with you, I'm getting sick and tired of Kat grinding herself on me." He made this disgusted face as he spotted her inside.
I didn't mind it so we just talked to one another as he knocked back the drink he had in his hand. We go back to our old school memories back when he first joined the school. He joined the friend group real quick not long after joining the school. We all had fun together and so we had some of the funniest times together. It was nice bringing up old memories like this and cracking inside jokes.
"Hey Flare I have a question for you, you mind me asking?" He turned and looked at me as he set his beer down.
"You know you can ask me anything," I face him wondering what the question is.
"Did you have any crushes in school?"
