Ally P.O.V
"Shit," I muttered nervously.
Suddenly the light came on and the darkness that was covering me like a safety blanket was over taken by this bright light that was focused solely on me. That's right it was focused on little old Ally Dawson who was now standing in a red, short to the thigh, dress in front of a bunch of people. I shouldn't be here and I knew it but all reason seemed to have flown out of my mind when my almost sister Cassidy had begged me with tears coming to her eyes to do this. Here's the deal, Cassidy's family and mine are pretty close and my dad was interested in a new business venture which he called Cloud Boom. Inventive I know. After the success of Sonic Boom in Miami, Dad had gone and opened 3 more in LA, New York and Chicago however with the success of them Dad now had the money to open another Sonic Boom. One day Trish, my best friend since my 5th year on this planet we have called Earth, was complaining about there not being any clubs for kids out age and since my Dad had nothing better to do than listen to our conversations, took the idea and ran with. Trish being Trish claimed the idea was hers and wanted a cut of the profit Cloud Boom would bring in. Dad in response had laughed and offered her a job when the club was opened. Back to Cassidy; she had just finished University with a business major but was struggling to get a job but when the news of Cloud Boom reached her ears she jumped at the chance to become manager. Tonight was opening night but it was also the day before it was back to school hence why I shouldn't be here.
"So how are we all doing it tonight," I said into the mic with a smirk.
The crowd, which was filled with a bunch of college students, screamed with excitement. If I still had stage fright right now I would have pulled an Aubrey and puked all over the audience but thankfully I had overcome that. Another thing to be thankful for was that I didn't see anyone from school here tonight because they were all at home preparing for tomorrow like I should be.
"Well aren't we all excited? Now I'm not gonna waste time telling you my name because you won't need it to remember me," I said as I walked across the stage.
Even if they did remember me they wouldn't be able to pick me out in the street due to the black wig I was wearing tonight.
"You guys ready to have some fun tonight!?" I yelled.
After receiving a deafening response, I sang my set. Nearing the end of my set, The Boom Dancers joined me on stage. Cassidy was lucky that I knew all the dance moves or she would not have had a lead for opening night. I followed the dance routine to the T and ended it with a big finish when the confetti burst and showered everyone in various colours. Satisfied with our performance, we hopped off stage and headed for the dressing room. All I could see was a flash of blonde hair before I was being choked in a hug.
"Cass, I can't breathe," I wheezed.
"Oops sorry Alls but thank you so much I owe you big," she gleamed "Alright the rest of you battle stations. The night is not over yet and we have food and drinks to serve, non alcoholic of course"
The Boom Dancers all whooped and made their way to the door. The dancers weren't all girls but there still was a need for people to hold down the fort while the others performed and the fight between the girls and the boys was settled through a dodgeball game. No I'm not kidding. I was read for a full on dance off 'Step Up' movie style but no they used the sports hall at the sports centre to play a game of dodgeball. Freaks.
"You get home before your Dad finds out," Cassidy grinned.
"I'm starting think you're a bad influence Cass," I laughed
"Who? Me? Never." She said winking as she left the room.
After 20 minutes, I was changed and ready to get home before Dad got back from his meeting. I switched off the light in the dressing room and opened the door but before I could open it fully a rushing figure pushed me inside and closed the door firmly.
"What the he-" I began.
"Shh," The stranger muttered as he placed his hand over my mouth, trapping me between the wall and himself.
I was about to bite his hand when I heard a loud thumping of feet passing the door. Moments after they were gone I took to following my previous plan and licked the strangers hand.
"Urgh gross. Did you seriously just lick me?" The stranger hissed.
"You're lucky I didn't knee you where the sun don't shine buddy," I returned.
"Are you always this rude to people," he muttered angrily.
"Are you always pushing people into dark rooms and pressing yourself against them?" I retorted.
"Wh-wh what!? Get over yourself. I just came in here to hide,"
I moved my hand to push him off me when it came into contact with something hard.
Oh my..
"Why aren't you wearing a shirt!?" I questioned.
"Um.." He said struggling to come with an answer.
Had I not been distracted by the abs beneath my fingers I would have listened to my stranger danger alarm lighting up like a Christmas tree and rumbling with loud noises. My fingers trailed along the line.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Wow
"Having fun there?" He asked and even though I couldn't see him, I could tell a smirk had graced his face.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who needs to get over themselves," I bit back, secretly enjoying his abs.
"Why are you being a bitch to me when I've done nothing wrong to you?"
"Wouldn't have to be if you weren't asshole,"
I made a move to come out underneath his hands which were on both side of my head. My movement halted when I felt him place a hand on my waist which caused me turn sharply and look at him.
"You might wanna stop doing that,"
"Why,"
"Because.." I said trailing off as he moved closer.
"Because why?"
"What do you mean "Because Why?"," I said imitating his voice and after waiting 5 excruciatingly long seconds, I realised he hadn't moved his hand "Wow, you are infuriating,"
"But that's not the only thing I am,"
"Oh yeah you're also an asshole,"
"I'm willing to bet you find this asshole attractive,"
Is this guy being for real? I was torn between punching that cocky smirk I knew was on his face and kissing him. I know that I had no idea what he looked like but damn his voice was pretty attractive, I'm not gonna lie.
"I can't even see you," I replied.
"You might not be able to but you do find me attractive,"
"I do not,"
What? Don't you judge me. I said I wasn't going to lie to myself but I sure as wasn't going to tell this big headed asshole that he was attractive. His head might get so big that it could crush all of Miami. I was saving lives.
"Yes you do," he said stepping even closer to the point where there was hardly any space between us.
"I don-" I started.
"Stop lying," he whispered.
He placed his hand around my waist, dipped his head and kissed me. The kiss wasn't harsh but it wasn't sweet either, it was filled with determination. A moan escaped my mouth and that was it, he grabbed me harder and kissed me longer. His hands started to trail down my back to my jeans.
"Oh, crap sorry!"
Once again there was a sudden light assaulting my eyes and chasing out the darkness. There was also the sound of a door slamming.
I looked up to find the stranger smiling.
I looked up to find that the stranger had blonde hair.
It was blonde hair that sure as hell did not belong to Cassidy though at this moment I wished it did, anyone would be better than him.
I looked up to find..
"Austin?" I whispered.
That's right I had looked up to find the one guy that broke my heart.
At least was right about one thing, the guy I had been kissing was an asshole.
