That's Ashley's dress^
Ashley's P.O.V
I smile as I sped on the freeway, 70 mph. My thoughts began to build up. I was so excited about the awards show! And also, the after party. I was blooming with happiness until a black Ferrari drives ahead of me at the speed of light. I will not let him get away with it. What a prick! My middle finger sticks out in front of the person's mirror. The car speeds away.
I mutter out some curse words and jump at the incoming call. ''Damn it! What now?'' I yell. I answer the call from my manager. ''Hey Ash? Umm are you almost here?'' Anthony asks nervously. I suddenly explode and tell him what just happened. ''She's in a bad mood. Don't make it worse,'' Jason whispers loudly. ''Okay. I'll just tell you when you get here! Hahaha everything is fine don't worry! Drive safe bye!'' He lets out a nervous yelp and hangs up. Something's up....
I arrived at the theatre and groan at the massive paparazzi behind the small gate. I walked behind Billie, Shawn, and Demi. After they left, I walked onto the red carpet and gave the photographers a fierce look as their jaws dropped.
''Halsey! Over here!''
''Smile for us babe!''
''Stunning!''
''Pose, darling!''
I ignored some questions that included a certain someone's name in it. And other pestering questions celebrities get asked. I trudged along the carpet until Anthony bumped into me. ''Ow,'' I say. ''Oh crap. I mean, oh there you are!'' He laughs nervously. I glare at him. ''Spill the beans Anthony!'' I say to him. ''I-I-umm...let's just say you might not have an enjoyable evening. Bye good luck!'' He runs off leaving me dumbfounded. I have never been so confused.
I made my way to a table in the middle and sat in the chair with a picture of my face behind it. I looked up and see the infamous rapper, G-Eazy sipping his whiskey. My blood boiled under my skin at the sight of him. At least he wasn't sitting next to me. Wait....is this what Anthony was so nervous about? I scream but only in my head so no one hears me. I could feel Gerald's long-lasting gaze upon my face. He was sneaking glances at me every 5 minutes. Shut up Ashley you're doing the exact same thing! It was true. I was. I wish I hadn't. He looked good. Better than last year. Gerald was working out a bit more but he still had his lanky figure. He still has amazing taste for style. Classic. Daring.
And the longer I looked, more memories flooded back. The Him and I music video. The parties. More parties. Birthdays. Valentine's Day. Tour. Award shows. Sleeping all day. Singing along to the radio. Getting drunk. Going to events. I stopped thinking and just looked around instead. I didn't want to fall for him again. It is very tempting. But there's something about him that won't let me contain myself.
Gerald's P.O.V
I fixed my eyes on the beautiful enchantress sitting before me. Her brown curls were growing, it was now a short wavy bob. She closed her eyes, revealing her flawless eyeshadow. Soft red tinted lips. Perfectly contoured cheekbones. Sparkling hazel eyes. My eyes trailed down to her chest. Her wine red dress had a V-cut that stopped above her waist. I couldn't help but stare at her perky breasts as they raised up when she breathed. I looked away once I realized I've been staring way too long. But I continued to give her a few glances here and there. She looked gorgeous! Not only did I miss seeing her face, but I also missed her. She's such a unique and talented person. Her smile and hearing her giggle brightened my day. I always made sure she was happy. And she did the same to me. We took care of each other. I still wish I was with her.
Ashley looked mad about something. She caught me staring and she clenched her jaw. I knew I wasn't the right person to cheer her up since we called it quits and haven't spoke to each other in a year.
I decided to try it anyway. My foot touched her ankle and I placed it close to her shoe. She looked surprised and looked underneath. Her face crumbled up to a frown and she pulled her dress. I look and realized that I was stepping on it. ''I am so sorry! I didn't mean to,'' I immediately apologized. Ashley gave me a tiny smile. She was going to laugh as an accept to my apology but she kept her serious face and simply nodded instead. I was so embarrassed. I couldn't believe that I stepped on her beautiful dress. All because of some gesture. My mind kept replaying the little situation and my face heated up. Ashley stood up and left the table. After a few minutes, she returned with a fruity whiskey drink.
Ashley's P.O.V
I was drinking the left over whiskey and felt a tiny bit buzzed. I didn't like when I was beginning to get drunk. I behaved like a child. But it feels good. My eyes looked over to Gerald. He gave me a shy smile. Our eyes met and it suddenly turned into a starring contest. I noticed that he was looking at me up and down too. My cheeks felt a little warm. I squinted but eventually blinked. He laughed while I crossed my arms.
He was still laughing while I heard footsteps behind me. "Hey guys," a voice said. It was Richard, or MGK. Great. Two of my exes. Sitting at the same table. Somebody save me.
"Hey," Gerald says as Richard sits down. He was dressed in a light purple suit. I really liked his style too. It's cool and fun. ''How are you guys?'' He asks. It wasn't so awkward since we were friends now. Gerald and I still had some fresh cuts. But they were healing. ''I'm good,'' I replied, then sipped my drink. ''I'm good too, and you buddy?'' Gerald asks. ''Doing better. You two getting along?'' Richard asks. I looked at Gerald. I struggled to find words. I mean I wasn't enjoying most of my time. I guess it was nice seeing him again. A little closer than usual.
''So Ash? How was the photo shoot yesterday? You looked nice in that outfit,'' He chuckles softly. I laugh, my outfit was really hot. I wore a black bra and underwear with a lime green tulle bodycon dress. I'm glad I kept it. ''Thanks! It was great I had so much fun,'' I say with a smile. ''Um I saw the photos too. You looked amazing, I mean you looked great,'' Gerald blushes as he finishes his sentence. He is just the cutest. ''Thank you,'' I say with a smile.
''Gerald told me the craziest thing ever. He was on the freeway right? And he thought that he was going to be late. So this dummy drives at full speed in front of a white Range Rover. And the person driving it, sticks their hand out and shows em' the finger! I thought it was badass,'' Richard says before taking a sip of his wine. Heat just rushes to my face. All I can do is breathe. That was him? I could not believe it. I just stuck my finger out to G-Eazy a few hours ago. It was kinda his fault though. I should probably say something.
''Um Gerald? That was me. I was the one that flipped you off. Sorry,'' I say shyly. At that moment, Richard just burst out laughing. A few people turned and smiled at him. Gerald looked at me blankly. He couldn't believe it either. ''Hahaha. That's alright. I shouldn't have done that in the first place. It was pretty dumb. Sorry Ash,'' He says. ''It's okay,'' I replied. ''Oh wow. That was hilarious,'' Richards says as he wiped his tears. Gerald and I looked at each other and smiled.
This wasn't so bad. It was awkward but fun. I still had the after party to look forward to. And I was excited.
