Cyndy's Arrow

Chapter 4

Ashley

Last night.

I walked inside the bar, which is my usual hangout place.

"Hey Ash. Had a rough day?" One of the bouncer said. His name is Dean. We've been somewhat friends when he helped me shake off some creepy stalkers that followed me whole day and even tried to follow me inside this bar. Well, they can but I'm a bit thankful, I guess, that Dean hadn't let them in.

I just nod my head as a respond and ask "Is Zike their?"

"No, his not. Well, get in." He said moving aside and open the door for me.

Little people know but the owner of this bar is actually my brother Zike Clarkson. His known to be a playboy bachelor. Mom and Dad got tried of worrying about him passing out where ever he feels like it and partying at random bars and sleeping around. I remember how Mom got a call after Zike's been missing for 24 hours saying, they found Zike a sleep on a dirty bar restroom.

So instead of worrying where to find him. They decided to build this bar for him to fun and live in. This bar is now his private playground and he named it "The PlayGround".. Yeah... the second floor of this whole bar is his new home now and the roof top got a pool where he host a private party if he wants to.

Thankfully I got keys to his house. Damn that idiot not satisfied with this bar and still goes out to drink and party without Mom and Dad knowing it.

As I step inside, loud music blast to my ears. There are so many people here to night.

I think I'll drink a bit or two before I head up stairs. I was about to walk past the crown to the bar when I saw a familiar face.

She was the girl in the elevator with me. And my one and only neighbor since our floor is so expensive to live in.

She look so beautiful in her white crap top and tattered jeans that shows off a little bit of her flawless skin.

I got myself staring at her. Maybe we were staring at each other quit to long. I shake my head to erase my thoughts about how the rest of her skin looks like under that jeans.

This is not the right time for that Ash remember what you're her for?

After shaking off the thought of that girl from my mind, I walk straight to Gillian, the bartender on duty, and ask a for a whiskey on the rocks.

"Ohh... Something on your mind?" She ask, pouring my drink on the glass.

"Yeah." I said finishing my drink in one go.

"Yikes... Must be tough. I've been here since you tasted your first liquor. I can tell by what you order." She said, eyeing me. "Family eh?"

I rolled my eyes, "What's new?" I said. Going more frustrated as I remember the argument me and my parents had.

"Well those two are." Gillian said looking towards the direction of the same girl that i notice earlier and her companion.

"I know." I replied

She smirked "Of course you do. And Chad seems to be trying his luck already." I can sense sarcasm in her tone but i just rolled my eyes at the mention of my cousin's name.

I smiled at her in response. She and I, both know that I am the biggest flirt in town. I have flirted with every single one that have been here. Some are wise to keep in mind that it's all just for fun while there are others... those who just don't know when to stop at being clingy. They think we have a special connection but I'm actually keeping the connection open for everyone.

I finished my ninth glass and I'm starting to feel the kick of the alcohol.

"I'll be at my brother's." I said as I walk towards the stairs leading up.

"I don't think your brother will be back until tomorrow. " Gillian shouted over the music but I just can't fully hear her. All that i got was 'i ink bother beckons marrow.' Doesn't make sense right?

I ignore what ever she said and proceed to where I am going.

But that's all I can remember.

*****

I groaned as the bright light stings my eyes. Sh*tty sun.

I vision is still hazy but i tried to look around. Partly knowing where I am but still not so sure, cause i don't have the memory of ever actually getting here. But I do remember I was about to.

Suddenly, I notice that something seems to be fettering my body. The next thing I notice was the pressure in my chest as if something is above it, something slightly heavy.

Using my free hand, i rubbed my eyes to clearly see what it was.

To my surprise what I saw is a sleeping angel laying beside me. Her head on my chest resting comfortably, her hands and feet girdling my body.

Did I hook up with someone again last night? Damn! I only had a glass of whiskey here last night; And, about 14 shots of vodka at Brittany's before I went here; And also about a bottle of Rum at someone else's party before that. Well, shit. No wonder I passed out. Luck, I was not alcohol poisoned. I thought but still look at the beautiful person resting in my arms. She have a dirty blond hair, beautiful nose, and rose red lips that seems so kissable. Did i kiss that? If i did, then I'll hate myself for not remembering what it feels like.

Wait is she drooling?!

I immediately push her away. Eww!!! Gross!!! I know drooling is normal but it still is gross if a stranger you barely know is drooling on you.

She then wake up. Looking at me, puzzled. Her captivating gray eyes widen.

"Oh gosh! I'm so sorry i didn't mean to sleep here."

She is wearing one of my favorite limited edition Deadpool t-shirt. She got up, look around, and pick her clothes off the floor before looking at me and giving me a look that kinda say 'sorry-but-this-is-awkward-I'm-gonna-go-bye' and running out off the room.

"Wait!!!" I shouted as dash off.

My feet started to move and ran after her. I am not usually like this. What usually happens is the other person just live or I tell them to.

But this is different because...

"GIVE ME BACK MY SHIRT!!!!!" I shouted as I got out off the room to. But I didn't see her.  

How the hell can she just disappear like that? How fast can she run? I ran back to the room, get myself dress more presentably and run down.

I saw Gillian and Chad is still there. So I walk to them and asked "Hey, Did you see the girl that come out off the room?"

Both of there faces clearly shows that what I just ask them was unbelievable. Yeah. Ashley Clarkson looking for a girl and asking where she went early in the morning never happens, so this is the first. It is usually the other way around.

"Ahm... No." Chad said dumbfound.

"Did I just hear you correctly? THE Ashley Clarkson is actually looking for someone?" Gillian said annoyingly amused.

But I just ignored them and heads to check the outside. I looked left and right but I really can't find her.

I will one way or another I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna get... My shirt back.
