CHAPTER 40! stuck in time, stuck in the place he'd left her

﹙I DON'T SMOKE ★﹚

CHERRY TIED HER HAIR UP!

the clock read 10 pm.

her and ashtray were an hour late to one of cherry's business partners birthday parties, because cherry insisted on taking forever to do her makeup.

"do i look stupid?" cherry asked, collecting her purse.

"you look great." ashtray reassured, with a smile.

the red-head smiled back.

together, they rushed downstairs and to the car that waited for them outside.

the entire morning was spent going to places that would hopefully remind ashtray of something. cherry told him stories as they walked.

they spoke about a diner where that looked similar to one they'd been on a date on.

ashtray thought having cherry by his side made things so much easier.

he remembered so much more, and she could help him
piece it together, because she knew everything about him.

she was still in love with him.

ashtray knew that. he didn't know if she knew that, though.

when they finished exploring, they went back home. cherry's father had immediately denied the idea of ashtray living with them.

after hours of arguing, and a lot of tears, cherry got her way.

apollo owed her that, after ruining her boyfriends life.

after taking her boyfriend away.

« ───── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ───── »

cherry walked through the lively crowd. she led ashtray behind her, her hand in his.

loud music pulsated throughout the lavish home.

bright lights flashed as the pair squeezed through others.

"cherry!" one of her friends called out.

"hi, mia! happy birthday." cherry smiled, waving with her free hand.

the birthday girl eyed her other hand, and looked up at the boy beside her.

"thank you." she grinned. "nice to meet you.."

"ashtray." the boy greeted, and handed her a present with his and cherry's name on it.

"thank you. feel free to.. take a seat, i don't know." mia shrugged, and turned her attention to the redhead. "let's get a drink."
