REMINISCENT

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Dream Girl?(EDITED)

Ashley's POV
The beach was packed with people dancing and drinking everywhere.

I have to give Lisa some credit for the event. They are so many people, i can't believe she pulled this off. I can already tell people will be talking about it at school on monday. It's understandable what with her being a professional athlete's girlfriend, she's known and knows everyone. She's like an international version of Emma

A few minutes after we had entered into the party, everyone had split and gone their own ways to talk to different people they knew, as they usually did at parties. Well at least that's what Chanel says seen as i would always avoid social gatherings.

So here i am sitted at the makeshift bar, just looking around while sipping my coke.

"Ashley? Heyyyy" i heard a bubbly voice call me

I turned around on my stool with a smile at the voice "Hiii.." i stared at the red head coming my way

"Soo.. how are you enjoying the party?" She beamed, her red lipstick making her teeth seem brighter than they are

"It's great!...uhhh..?" I trailed off expecting a name

"Lisa!" She said in a duh tone. Ohhh she's Lisa, oops. "It's so great to finally see you at a party" she added flipping her ginger hair over her shoulder

"Ohh... oh, sorry I've been drinking so it must have slipped my mind" i lied through my teeth with an awkward chuckle "and yeah it's good to be here"

"Haa! Haven't we all" she said a bit too cheerfully. Then she suddenly got serious "You know you're a very pretty girl" she said while moving a strand of my hair from my face with her artificial red nail.

I slightly tensed up " Oh i- ..." before i could finish she continued

"You should lighten up and find a guy to mingle with. You've been sitted here alone from the time you came" she finished then tapped up cheek like gave me the greatest advice ever.

She then gulped down the rest of whatever she was drinking then turned and danced off to where most of the people were

I sighed, she's right. At that, my eyes scanned the crowd and immediately stopped at Aiden. He was talking to a girl, she had curly hair just like mine only her tips were a lighter shade than her dark hair, let me just say it looked great.

I could tell she was a petite girl. Her skin was a shade or two darker than mine, i assume because of the sun tanning it. She glistened with water droplets that rolled down her skin, her bikini clang to her body in the right places, the bottom swallowed by her toned fat cheeks, let me just say she was gorgeous.  I couldn't see her facial features significantly but I could tell she was beautiful, It's like she was paid to look stunning.

I got a sickening feeling at the pit of my stomach. They hugged like the were long lost friends. I watched her arms wrap themselves around his neck and his around her small waist leaving her sweat and water on his skin. When they were pulling away she whispered something in his ear, the look in his eyes made bile rise to my throat.

He laughed shaking his head in response to whatever the hell she whispered to him, her hand was still on his chest. The last straw was when he shamelessly looked at her ass when she turned to talk to someone.  That's not even something the Aiden I knew would do

I closed my eyes in anger immediately when he looked down at it. When i opened my eyes back up, i glared straight into his "fuck Aiden" i said to myself then grabbed the shot of vodka some guy just ordered and gulped it down

So with my cup of coke at hand, i headed to the dance floor or sand or whatever its called, with a new mission in mind.

Aiden's POV
It's been a while now from the time i seperated from the group. I did a bit of mingling here and there with people i did and didn't know, most importantly keeping an eye out for my 'dream girl' for lack of a better way i could call her
