In the name of 'Friendship' [COMPLETED]

"Work like there's someone working twenty four hours a day to take it away from you."

Three months later.

"Yes. I received them today and will be shooting tomorrow so your posts will be up by tomorrow or max by day after. Thankyou." I talked to the head of public relations of a company that was collaborating with me.

I started receiving collaborations on a large scale after the first one. I accepted the ones I liked the best and which seemed promising to me so that when people buy them, they don't regret it. Most of them were accessories and clothing brands. A few make up brands did ask for collaboration but I denied. I am not much into make up right now so once I'm familiar with it completely then I'll be taking them into consideration. Don't wanna give out any advice based on my lack of knowledge about that particular product.

"Ashley are you coming?" Elena called out.

"Coming." I shouted back and rushed over to our table.

We were at a club in Manhattan. A typical saturday night at a nightclub but to celebrate my success. Elena and Charlotte planned this out for me. We decided to spend the night at a motel and then have a photoshoot the next day. Me, Elena, Char, Derek, Jacob, Ashton and Rohit. I invited Nathan to join us but he denied saying that this was my first night with my friends after taking up fashion blogging so I should be spending time with them. They were like my family now.

"What took you so long?" Charlotte asked having a bite of the pizza.

"Work. Sorry." I appologized.

"Shh you girls. A round of tequilas?" Ashton asked.

"Yes." "Yeahhhh." Came the replies of everyone.

"Great." Jacob said and placed our orders.

"To Ashley" everyone cheered and clinked the glasses together and we gulped down the liquid in one go. It burnt my throat but I was too happy to care tonight. I'm going to let myself loose tonight. I trust all of them completely so even if I get high, I know they'll make sure I'm safe.

"Ashley you look so hot tonight that if I was a guy I would've taken you right here in front of everyone." Elena said, clearly drunk.

That was akward.

"Thank god you're not a guy." I mumbled.

I was wearing a black playsuit which had a plunging neckline and a silver choker to go with it along with black studded heels. Simple but definitely sexy.

Luckily, everyone decided to ignore the comment and went on with the conversations.

"You do look hot Ash." Derek whispered in my ear making me blush.

"Thanks."

He was wearing his signature black leather jacket and a white shirt underneath with distressed jeans.

"Dance with me." Charlotte handed me her hand and I accepted. We both grabbed the complimentary glow stick bracelet and headed towards the dance floor. The club wasn't that packed as of now. People just started entering so we easily found a spot on the dance floor.
My body started moving to the rythym of the music and in a matter of minutes all my stress was released. I let myself free tonight and danced like there was no one watching. We both were grooving to the music, swaying our hips back and forth.
It was like all endorphins were released from my body and I had a huge smile plastered on my face. Soon, the rest also joined us and we had the time of our lives.
After almost an hour, I felt tired and headed towards the bar.
