Dashing Love

13.

It was nice to be back at the apartment. It had always been so welcoming to me, the vibrant blue walls, modern lamps, some sofas, and pictures to remind me of home.

I entered my bedroom, I lied in bed but immediately getting back up due to the vibration of my phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Dash." I took a look at the caller ID before answering. A grin flew onto my face as I saw the name.

"Hey Lola, what's up?"

"I'm on my way to the apartment." Before I could answer a knock came from the door.

"Sure, when?" I strolled over to the door to see Lola with bags from various stores.

"Now." She said hanging up the phone as I did the same.

"Well aren't you Mrs.Cliche." I said sarcastically. "Weren't you suppose to be coming tomorrow?"

She motioned for me to follow her and I did just that. We were walking down the hall, which leads to her bedroom.

"I got these super cute outfits to wear tonight" She said completely ignoring my question.

"What's happening tonight?" Helping her sort out her bags then sitting on the bed after.

"There's this party at this night club. Everyone's talking about it I heard it's going to be THE best party you'll ever go to."

"Oh..." I trailed. She took out two outfits, and my eyes widened.

"I know, you might not like it but-" I raised my hand to stop her and snatched the dress out her hands

"It's perfect, I love it. When's the party!?"

"In twenty minutes, so get your ass in the tub and get ready." Lola ordered. I rolled my eyes but did what I was told nonetheless.

~~~~

"Ready to party!" Lola yelled over the blasting music.

We were now outside the three story building which held the wildest parties ever.

I took a quick glance behind me then back at the house. Now realizing that Lola wasn't next to me anymore, great. I stepped inside and immediately notify Rachel surrounded by a few men way older than her. The thought made me pull down my dress hoping that it could stretch. Although the dress is short I still loved it. Despite the guys starring my way, I made my way to the the open bar.

As I wait to get the bartender attention the stench of sweat and beer filled the area. A guy who looked about in his mid thirties took a seat next to me.

"Bartender!" He yelled a little to loud for my liking. But at least the bartender came rushing to us.

"A bloody mary please." I ordered. The bartender went to make the drink leaving me and the drunk dude.

"I must say your extremely pretty." He shouted before wrapping his arms around my shoulders. I cringed at the feeling.

"Uh..." I trailed slowly scooting over.

"Seth! Your needed in the back." Another guys called behind who must be Seth. Seth quickly separated from me thankfully and left.

"Sorry about that. I'm Percy by the way." The guy greeted with heartwarming smile.

"I'm Danielle." I gave him my full name because he's a total stranger. His reaction was shocked.

"Your Dash?! Oscar talks about you every damn day. Its annoying really, but cute." Surprised at what Percy just told me, I sat there speechless.

"Do you want me to take you to him? He's probably dying to see you again. C'mon." He said so fast I couldn't quite register the whole thing, but yet he dragged me over too a booth at the far corner.

Feeling extremely small I ignored any eye contact with Oscar. The tension was so strong not even the music could break it.

"Yay, so this is Leslie, she's a little.... Um...lesbo. But we love her just like she loves us, right Leslie?" Percy broke the silence.

"Screw you Percy." Leslie scowled. She was a really pretty girl and seemed nice and welcoming.

Ian and Lola appeared besides me , Lola instantly scowling at Leslie. And then the tension grew stronger, not a word was spoken until Leslie noticed Lola.

"OMG LOLA! You look like so amazing and shit, have you been exercising, was it the power up drinks. Wow haven't seen you in-" She was instantly shut up by Lola finger placed upon her lips.

"Where's my money bitch." She said coldly. Everyone in our group was staring at the two. Leslie finally grimaced back at Lola and took a step back.

"I said I would have it later. Don't pop a sweat." She said back boldly, in a whole different tune.

"WELL THEN, since these two already know each other, we should go party. Dash, Oscar, Go out there." Percy winked then pushed us out of a glass door which lead to a balcony. And trust me when I say the stars were awfully perfect tonight. Shining like...diamonds (where Rihanna at?)

"I like your dress." He spoke after the long silence. I look down at it at actually took time to look at every flaw of my dress.

"Okaysoeversincewekissedicouldn'tstopthinkingaboutitbutijustwannaknowifwe'reboyfriendandgirlfriendsor-" I rambled, but was stopped when his lips touched mines.

"Be my girlfriend." He whispered. With no time to reply a group of, 'oohs' where said behind us.
