Well this is the first chapter to my first story. Hope you enjoy!
"You ready yet?" called Kaitlyn from the other room.
"Yup." AJ replied, running her hands through her loose brown curls, looking at her reflection in the mirror thoughtfully. "Just gotta decide what I'm wearing now." She sighed, walking in to the bedroom to join her friend.
"God, Kait!" She exclaimed after catching sight of her best friend in a new purple dress, "You look awesome. Planning on breaking hearts tonight?" She laughed.
"Just a couple." She chucked. "Please tell me you'll wear a dress" she pleaded
"Yeah, I am." She replied opening her closet. "This one?" She questioned pulling out a short white dress admiring it
"Yes! Perfect." Sitting on the bed waiting for her to pull it on, beaming once she did. "You look so cute." She smiled
Walking to the long mirror in the room, she looked at herself. "Hmmm, I actually look decent" she chuckled as Kaitlyn threw a pillow at her
"I'm so excited. New pad, new city, you in a little dress. Never thought I'd see this day." Kaitlyn laughed walking over to the closet pulling out a pair of red heels and giving them over to AJ, "I'd say these ones," smiling as she put them on and chuckling as she nearly stumbled taking her first step in them.
"Ok. I can do this. One step at a time." They laughed as they walked in to their new kitchen, Kaitlyn pulling out a bottle of wine from the cupboard and two glasses looking over questioningly at AJ, "Hmm ok, guess I need something to take the edge off" she chuckled as she took a sip.
"You nervous?" Kaitlyn asked smiling
"No, not really. Excited. With a touch of nerves. Who knows what'll happen here, the world is our oyster. Hey there might even be cute guys" she smirked
"Might? They're freakin' better be. I don't get all dolled up like this for family parties." Kaitlyn replied with a laugh "So the place is pretty much ready. We've got all the drinks the people in this building could need." She said thoughtfully, "I just really hope people come, I like it here so far, having friends in the building would be nice. Hopefully everyone that lives here aren't all old and grouchy."
"I've already seen people hanging in the lobby that look cool, and we've invited a boat load of people, surely we'll meet a few cool people" April replied optimistically
"Yeah, I hope so!" Kaitlyn smiled just as there was a knock at the door, looking at the clock realising the first guests were half an hour early, "here we go baby!" Putting her arm around AJ and both of them walking to the door.
They opened it and a girl and two guys were stood smiling holding a bottle of wine. "Hey there!" The girl smiled, "welcome to the building, I'm Rosa, and this is Epico and Primo" she stated handing the girls the bottle of wine.
"Hi!" AJ beamed, "Thanks a lot for coming guys, you're the first guests, come on in!" She smiled, ushering them inside and motioning for them to take a seat. "I'm April, but call me AJ, and this is my best friend Kaitlyn" she exclaimed shaking Rosa's hand and earning a kiss on the cheek from Epico and Primo.
"What can I get for you to drink?" Kaitlyn smiled,
"Whatever has alcohol in it is great with me," Rosa piped up whilst the others laughed, "so are you guys new to the city?"
"Well I'm originally from New Jersey, but I've lived in Tampa for years, Kaitlyn and I lived together down there, she's a professional trainer, as you can probably tell from those crazy muscles," she giggled "and she got offered a job here which would be crazy to turn down, the only thing that was making her question it was me, because we're best friends and would die being that far apart, so she tried to convince me to come back up, and I do miss being so far from my family and stuff so I agreed, I love New York."
"That's so cute!" Rosa replied "what do you do for a living?" She questioned whilst taking the drink Kaitlyn had passed her
"I'm a dancer" she smiled
"Pole dancer?" Primo asked with a wink
"Very funny." She chuckled, "I work at studios, and I done some high profile work in Tampa so I was heard of around here when I was asking around for jobs and luckily landed a pretty awesome one downtown, to coach some young classes, in ballet and hip hop mostly."
"That's great!" Rosa beamed, "seems you two are pretty much set up already. You know anyone around here yet?" She asked
"Nah not really, hence why we're throwing this shindig, hoping to meet some cool people in this building." Kaitlyn answered
"Oh you won't need to worry about that, this building is great, full of hot young stuff like all of us" she chuckled whilst everyone shared a laugh just as the door went
"Ooooh more people! Already more than I expected" Kaitlyn laughed as the two walked to the door and opened it to find a tanned guy with slicked back blonde hair and another guy with short brown hair.
"Fuck yes! I have died and gone to heaven!" The blonde laughed whilst looking at the two girls before turning to the other man chuckling, "you owe me 50 bucks"
"I apologise for my friend" the man said as AJ and Kaitlyn looked on amused, "we sorta kinda made a bet. I bet that you two would be... Well not as beautiful as you are, while mr know it all here bet that you two would be hotties, he definitely wins," he winked at the two whilst they laughed
"Wow, aren't you a couple of charmers." AJ laughed, "I'm April, but you can call me AJ. And this is my best friend Kaitlyn," she smiled motioning to her
"It is a pleasure, ladies. My name is Dolph, but you can call me whatever you want" he winked at AJ, "and this is Mike. But you guys don't need to worry about him." He stated, putting his arms around the two girls and walking in to the living room.
"Can I get you guys a drink?" Kaitlyn asked as the two men sat down.
"Yeah, I'll have whatever." Mike said whilst Dolph agreed
"Sure thing!"
AJ walked to the kitchen to help with drinks and poured herself another taking a sip quickly
"It's not even nine yet and people are here, I am shocked" Kaitlyn said with a chuckle "Mike is kinda cute." She said slowly
"Dude" AJ laughed "there are five people here, we invited the whole building, wait a while before you pick your next victim"
Kaitlyn sent a glare her way before laughing, just as the door went
"This is kinda fun," AJ stated with a laugh and handing drinks to both Dolph and Mike before heading to the door with Kaitlyn
Opening the door wide stood three guys, one with red hair who was really tall, one who was insanely muscular AJ felt almost intimidated in his presence, and one with colourful tattoos going all the way up his arms and AJ heard a cough from Kaitlyn bringing her head up to look at her, slightly blushing at the fact she had just been caught staring
"Hello there gentlemen" Kaitlyn smiled at the men, "I apologize on this little one's behalf for her gawking" She laughed earning a nudge from the petite girl
"Wow. I wasn't expecting you girls to be this beautiful," the muscular man stated with a smirk, "I'm John," he smiled "this ginger dude to my left is Sheamus and this guy to my right is Phil, but we call him Punk because well, he's a punk." John laughed while Punk nudged him
"Hilarious. I'm sorry ladies that I didn't get to introduce myself first before this jackass done it for me, badly, but yeah, call me Punk." He smiled, more to the little brunette who he could barely stop staring at since she opened the door
AJ smiled, "I'm April, but you guys can call me AJ. Everybody does. And this is Kaitlyn."
"Come on inside guys." Kaitlyn smiled
The two girls walked ahead whilst John turned his head to Punk noticing his friend staring at AJ from behind earning him a nudge
"What?" Punk asked quietly not once diverting his eyes from his perfect view.
"It's rude to stare, idiot" John laughed whilst Punk waved him off as they reached the living room, the girls turning to face them again
"This is a real nice place you've got here, ladies" Sheamus spoke up for the first time the girls smiling at his accent they weren't expecting to hear
"Thanks, find a seat if you can guys." Kaitlyn laughed
Sheamus wandered off after spotting Mike and Dolph whilst John and Punk sat at the kitchen on the bar stools
"Can I get you guys something to drink?" AJ asked with a smile
"I'll have a beer if you've got one" John replied
"Sure thing" AJ giggled "And you, Punk?" She asked crossing her arms smiling brightly at him
"I don't drink sweetie," Punk stated as John rolled his eyes at him as usual, AJ giggling at them "I'll have a water, if you've got that" he winked at her causing her to blush slightly and smile
"Coming right up guys" she turned away with Punk's eyes following her
"Dude." John laughed
"What?"
"Oh nothing," John smirked "Captain flirt."
An hour in to the party and a lot more people had arrived, more than what AJ and Kaitlyn expected which they were pleased about and had socialized with most of the guests and everything was going great.
AJ noticed Kaitlyn was pretty much sitting on the lap of Sheamus, talking and giggling. AJ gave her the eyes and pointed to the kitchen with the most stern look she could muster, Kaitlyn laughed and got up from him walking, more like staggering to the kitchen behind her.
"Kaitlyn," she laughed,
"AJ!" Kaitlyn shouted smiling and hugging her friend tightly,
"Dude! How drunk are you?" AJ laughed pulling away
"How drunk is a drunk man? If he's really drunk, like full on, like, like," she burst out laughing " Like, that drunk dude Dolph, like that drunk, not that drunk, just a little less drunk, I'm only on like five-" she looked around for her empty glasses not finding any "Urm, I don't know, let's do shots!" She shouted pulling out the bottle of vodka, "Shots! Shots! Shots! " giggling like a 6 year old
"Wow. Yeah you're drunk" AJ laughed
"Nuh-uh! Shots!"
"Urgh, one. One shot." AJ replied
"Yes!" Kaitlyn yelled, gathering two shot glasses and pouring them.
"Good luck girlie." John chuckled from the other side of the kitchenette with Punk smirking at her
Kaitlyn handed her the shot, drinking her own instantly, AJ looked down at it in disgust before quickly swallowing it, feeling the burning liquid run down her throat, trying not to cough "How the hell did she drink that so casually?" AJ asked whilst grabbing a glass and filling it with tap water before downing it
John laughed at her face, opening another beer whilst Kaitlyn ran back to the living room like an energetic infant
"That looks exhausting." Punk laughed
"That it does." AJ agreed standing next to the two
"Enjoying your party?" He asked
"Urm, yeah I suppose, I'm not really huge on parties but it's going pretty good" she smiled
"Sure is," John smiled taking a swig of his beer "So, tell us about yourself."
"What'd you wanna know?"
"Well what do you do for a living?" He asked
"I'm a dancer" she smiled
John chuckled, "certainly got the body for it babe" he smirked and she giggled shyly whilst Punk glared at him before turning back to her
"What do you guys do?" She asked
"Gym instructor" John replied
"Shocker" she laughed
"I've got a tattoo shop" Punk replied and she grinned
"That's awesome! I've got a tattoo" she smiled
"Where?" He asked looking down at her body to see if it was in plain sight
"Secret" she teased playfully
"Aw come on!" John yelled "you can't do that to us"
She smiled cheekily, winked and turned away
Punk just stared at her retreating form whilst John turned to him, and smirked, "I think you've met your match" he chuckled
"I think if you call her babe again I'll punch you in the face" he replied keeping his eyes on her whilst John laughed loudly
