The Fat Girl and The Bet

Chapter 8

Ashlyn's pov

I followed Aspen, his eyes were on the ground for most of the time. My mind kept going back to how the night on its own evolved.

I step on the back of his shoe and he grunts and turns around to face me.

"I'm so sorry, I'm sor-"

"You've been quiet," he said through clenched teeth, "Its getting a bit annoying.Just a bit."

He smirked a tiny bit, his eyes were darker than usual.

"He's like that," someone said.

Both me and Aspen looked over at the car and noticed Vincent in the car.

Aspen furrowed his eyebrows a bit,"What are you doing here Vincent."

Vincent didn't respond as he claimed his spot. The back window seat.

Aspenlooked at me, I walked toward the car as if nothing bothered me.

Moving towards the door, I stepped back when the door shot open for me.

I smiled lightly, "Thanks" I mumbled

Vincent nodded, returning to his seat and to check his phone.

Aspen came into the car and drove off in silence.

~~

It's been an hour in this stupid car and no one talked at all.

The silence was killing me.

"Are you almost to my house yet?" I asked Aspen but Vincent answered for him

"Yes about five minutes. Hang in there."

Aspen didn't dare look over at me. I don't know if its a driving thing or if he just didnt want to look at me.

I sighed and looked out the window and thought about what time it is.

I quickly looked through my purse that I left in his car and tried to find my phone.

God this heels were killing me. Once I found my phone, I slowly take off my heels and put the by my feet.

I turned on my phone and saw that I had 10 missed calls, from Cameron.

I look at the time and it read, 10:59.

I decided it would better if I called back Cameron when I get home than rather in the car.

The car came to a stop.

Aspen cleared his throat and turned to me, "This is your house right?"

I nodded and looked at the house that only had a couple of lights on.

Maybe my parents were up or Cameron snuck into my house again.

I take a hold of my heels and bag and opened the door to leave but Aspen stops me in doing so.

"Look, I'm sorry for what happened back there. I didn't mean for it to end up like this. ."

"I-its fine, it was a mistake, should of never happened." I sightly mumble.

"You're not weirded out about it?" He asked in confusion.

"It's only weird if you make it weird." I said slightly optimistic although I still felt kind of off about it all.

"What do you say?Friends still?" He asked me.

"I dont think we were ever friends Aspen, but sure." I said with a teasing smile.

He grinned and looked out his window.

"So is the part were you guys make out or-" Vincent piped in.

I rolled my eyes and said "Oh, no don't think so. See you guys on Monday."

I got out of the car headed to the door of my house. I looked back to the car and saw Vincent waving at me through the window like a little kid.

Aspen gave me a small wave before getting far way from my house.

I sighed as I entered my house. I headed up the stairs and dropped everything in my room. I stopped at my parents room, no one there.

I'm used to that. My parent work a lot, I barley get to seem them. I only get to see my mom in the morning and thats when she in a deep sleep on the couch.

I remember seeing the kitchen light on.I head towards the kitchen and I hear someone rumbling through the cabinets.

I see Cameron with a spoon in his mouth and adding sprinkles to his ice cream sunday.

I cleared my throat to try to get his attention.

His head whipped in direction.

"Oh, hey, Ashlyn, were have you been all night?"

"Places, you dont need to worry about it." I mumble and took a bite out of his sunday.

"So how was the date?" Cameron asked with a mouth full of ice cream.

I hesitated to answer. I shrugged my shoulder and grabbed a spoon from the cabinet and took another a piece of his sunday.

"That bad huh?,Well my date with Katie was bad too." I raised an eyebrow and went backing to eating his ice cream.

I knew he probably didn't want to talk about what happened between him and Katie and sure as hell I didnt want to talk about what happened between me and Aspen.
