YEARS LATER...
"And the award goes to...Ashley Bea Lexington"
Everyone applauded as I went up on stage to receive my award.
As usual, shake hands and smile for a picture.
With pride, I collected my award. This was my fifth time winning the "best doctor of the year award"
Winning five times in a row.
"Congratulations, Miss Lexington," The host said
It was time to give a speech.
"Thank you so much. Wow...winning five times in a row. I'm not bragging or anything" I said and the audience chuckled.
I continued, "This journey has had its ups and downs, but I made it people, I made it. I want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to my family and all my well-wishers. And especially to my bestie...Tasha Leonards, styled me in by the way so reach out to her. Girl, thank you so much. I was broken at a point in time, but you gave me a harsh lecture and helped me back on my feet. I love you so much. I hope in the coming years, I will keep reaching higher levels"
I was about to hand over the mic to the host when I remembered I had a few more people to thank.
"Oh and most importantly, I wanna say a big thank you to all my haters. Ha! See where I am today. Thanks to all of you for your shiity comments. Fuck you all!"
"Yeah, fuck them all," one guy said.
Everyone applauded and cheered.
The award ceremony was soon over and I met up with Tash.
"Girl, that was fire. Congratulations, I'm so happy for you, " she hugged me.
"I hate giving speeches, but this one was so worth it"
"Here comes the paparazzi"
Oh no!
"Let's make a run for it"
"Sometimes, I just love how crazy you are, Tash"
We held hands and escaped through the back door. My Ferrari was parked there and we got in and drove off.
We were gonna celebrate.
"Did you see how they chased after us? Gosh! They looked so hilarious." she laughed.
Tasha was a famous fashion designer and she worked with first-class celebrities.
Like moi.
Not bragging tho.
___
"Cheers to how far we've come, cheers to our success, and cheers to all the fucking awards we've received," Tash said with a bottle of champagne in her hand.
I knew her so well. She was gonna drink it all.
Raphael and Aiden soon joined us.
Aiden is my boyfriend. We met after I graduated from college in London.
He was the sweetest.
"Tasha, don't tell me you're gonna drink the whole bottle," Raph said. He was trying to take the bottle from her, but she wouldn't budge.
"Tasha, you're gonna get drank" He added.
"Darling, we are celebrating our success. Let me do what I want. Afterall, I worked so hard so I earned it" she placed a kiss on his lips and smiled at him.
She turned to me, "Ash...take this, tonight, you're gonna get drank with me"
She placed the bottle in my hand.
"You're right...Excuse me, I'd like two more bottles of wine, the best one you've got. Thanks."
"Babe, that's too much. You know you can't hold your liquor. You're gonna have a bad headache in the morning"
"And you're gonna make me hangover soup"
There was no talking me out of it.
Tasha and I were gonna drink till we didn't even know we were drunk.
___
"Tash, there's a spider on your hair"
"Eww...get it off" she whined like a baby
"I tricked you" I giggled.
"You two look like kids right now" Raph said.
"That's enough, Ashley...I'm taking you home"
"Yeah, Tash we gotta go"
"NO!" we both said in unison.
Raph and Aiden just looked at each other and nodded.
What was that supposed to mean?
Before we knew it, they carried each of us.
"Put us down, I command you to put us down" Tash said.
We struggled, but they were too strong.
"See you tomorrow, Aiden" Raph said.
"Yeah, you've got a crazy one. Take care bro"
He put me in the front seat and fixed my seatbelt.
I just wanted to drink with Tash.
I pouted.
