Life After Me (On hold)

·Chapter 2· The Love Party

I was trapped. I was confused. I was struggling to find the perfect outfit. I was under pressure and my closet was causing it. My arms were getting warn out because I was throwing clothes left and right. Digging and digging was causing a headache. I was freaking out and Bib wasn't helping. She was sitting on my bed complaining about how long it takes and that just made the pressure increase. I was stuck. I didn't know what to do, so I slumped down at my closet door in defeat. It had won.

Bib gets up and makes her way over me, "Look you want to look good for my brother right?"

I nodded with a puppy dog face.

She sighed loudly and walked behind me. Now she was the one who raved my closet. I scooted over giving her room to stand. I watched as she fumbled and pricked through all the clothes. Consuming time was what we did. I thought she would quit after a while. Her tip toes reached up for a Mary Cline box. Back on her flat pair of feet, she lifted off the top of the box. A black dress broke through the box. I stood up look at it more in depth.

"This is it. This is the dress," Bib said and smiled.

Smiling back I took the dress in hand. My feet excitedly stumbled to the bathroom. I wanted to look right for him. Hopefully this dress will get me noticed....

The only sound that inserted in my ears was the loud music that broke through the house. Bib and I sat in her car outside. I was waiting for her to stop checking herself in the mirror. Again, even from far away the music shot out to me. Lights from windows blurred on the outside world. People on the lawn doing games were all in sight except for the two-story white big house in back of them.

Finally we walked onto the craved pavement. Our heels clicked at our steps. I kept my head low wanting to save my eyes for him. I wanted him to see me in a different way. Sometimes he would, but I want tonight to be broken fully through. Sometimes when we were left alone he was so close. I almost could taste his salty lips on mine. They way he looked in my blue eyes made my heart beat. He trembles when his fingers rest on my body. He would compliment me, ditch the other girls just to be with me. All the signs were there, I was just hoping it wasn't an assumption. I wanted the past few years to be real. I'm ready now. I'm ready to take the next step and not my last. But you know everything you do is sometimes out of your control...

Bib and I stormed in through the door. The music was now pounding through my body. The crowds of people stepping in a dance formation. Bib stepped in with her brown hair up and a slimming, tight, and short dress around her body. The blue dress soothed on her skin. I stepped in with my long black hair flowing down my shoulder. The black strapless dress confirms my curves. It was corseted on the back with a bottom ruffles that stops at my side.

I wished he can see me in a sexy way tonight. I want to actually kiss him now. I wanted to be his one and only. I known him my whole life and he's the type to be secure and romantic. I wanted to be part of that romance.

Bib guided through the loaded space of people. Her hand grasped mine so she would lose me. I swear if she hadn't grabbed my hand I would of got sucked in another deminsion. Bumping into people and the music didn't help my nervous state. Bib and I made it through the crowd of jocks, preps, nerds, and newbies. It's safe to say I made it through without a problem... yet.

The corner where we stood was right by the punch and food. Bib was scoping out the party looking for her twin.

"I know he's here," She complied.

"Don't do that."

"Do what?"

"Make it obvious," I stated.

"Hey, I want to be an Aunt in a few years and who better be its mother than you," She smiled.

My blushing face gave everything away," You don't know... what if I don't want kids?"

"Uhuh and what if Santa was real?"

I was defeated once again.

...

"There he is!" Bib screamed as she pointed to her brother.

"Bib shut up," I said embarrassed.

"It's o.k I got you," she winked. My hand hit my forehead in a facepalm.

"Ashton! Ashton over here," Yelled Bib over the crowding music.

I looked over everybody to him. Ashton. He nodded with his brown hair moving. Red shirt brought out his green eyes. I was memorized by him. I felt deeply for him and he didn't even know it.

His moving body came inches toward us. Each step he took made my body tremble. He made his way right in front of me.

"What's up?" His cologne lifted the words right out of me.

"What's up? What's up? I have been looking for you everywhere," Bib argued.

"Hey, it's not my fault I'm so popular," He joked. He wasn't really. He was just a regular cute guy.

"Nice try, geek," She said back.

"I'm not a geek, I'm a..."

"Classified Nerd, I know you told us already," Bib interrupted.

"It's freaky having you as my twin," He pouted.

"You love me," She winked.

"No, I love her," He laughed as his arm reached over my shoulder. I giggled and blushed downwards at the sight before me.

"I knew it!" Bib screamed.

"Knew what?" His face was curious.

"You like her more than a Best Friend?" Bib admitted right at the bat. I want to yell at her 'Shut up', but my tongue was tied.

"That's for me to know...not you," His voice said in an annoyed tone.

"I'm going to leave you two alone then," Bib winked again as she walked away. Wait what? Bib... i hate you.

"Now we are finally alone," Ashton said breaking apart my thoughts.

"Yeah... awkward.." My voice slipped out.

"Hey," He said as his body came in front of mine. His face was crystal clear now. I almost forgot how gorgeous he was.

"I been waiting all my life to do this... I was so nervous and scared, but we are graduating soon... so I want to be brave... for us," He spoke shaking with uneasiness.

"Do what?" I questioned.

"This," His hand grabbed my cheek bone as he lead my face closer. His hand directed me up to his face. His lips crashed into mine. I was frozen. Finally.... all my life I waited. His soft lips kissed mine gently. It happened so fast. Like a blink in the eye. All I could do was kiss back.

"Ashton..." I called out. I felt him smile while our lips were still next to each other.

"I always loved you..." He said before I wrapped my arms around his neck and continued kissing him again.

My dreams came true... then they will disappear... Ashton
