Chapter 2

"Geez guys, let's just not talk about her, don't you think she still wants to make me a fertilizer to the soil after what happened?" I chuckled uneasily, trying to make it humorous but I guess they sensed the stiffness on my voice by the time the smile on their faces fell.

"Alright" Aiden said, "Hey Kyla wanna dance?" Aiden turned to Kyla trying to break the sudden change of the mood. Kyla nodded and they made their way to the dance floor. Tina, Trish and also Emma followed.

I can't help thinking about her as I was left alone sitting here at the table. The memories came rushing back again from the moment they had brought her up...

"Come on Ash, it's gonna be fun!" Kyla grabbed my wrist pulling me to get outside the car.

We are parked in front of a bar with the rest of the gang. It has this stupid speed dating event; you know a chance to meet and chat to random people for a few minutes then shuffle and meet another over and over again. You may get their numbers, possibility to date them or get in their pants if you have the chance to. You get the picture right?

"Go ahead guys, I'm good in here. I don't need that stupid speed dating alright?" I answered. "I can get a lady without participating with that kind of event" I said smugly.

Kyla snorted and smacked my head, "yeah right, I wonder how you can fit that 'little' head of yours inside this car ya know" she said sarcastically.

"Just for fun Ash, who knows you might finally find someone who can tame that animalistic version of you" Aiden added and I shot them a glare when they burst into laughter."Ha. ha. funny."

"Yeah Ash, you've been single for a long time. Maybe you should consider dating by now" I just rolled my eyes at what Emma threw in.

I guess they will not going to leave me alone so I decided to surrender. I'm not a kill joy after all."Fine I'm going even I'm sure I won't be having fun" I pout and crossed my arms like a child.

I observed the surroundings once we are already inside. There are cocktail tables with numbers each on top. I guessed that's where the two random people will chat. I puffed an air from my mouth, 'there's no chance I will enjoy this' I mumbled to myself.

As I keep on taking in the surroundings, my eyes landed on this gorgeous blonde standing with a camera hanging on her neck...

I must have been dozed off when I felt Aiden nudged me, "Ash good choice!" I just nodded not taking my eyes off of this beautiful girl.

She's the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on. She's so beautiful, attractive, stunning, gorgeous, legs to die for... hot!

Seconds later, she caught me staring at her. She stared back at me and this time, I got lost in her sparkling ocean blue eyes. I started to chant the most holy 'Lesbian Chant' on my mind with fingers crossed at my back 'please be gay, please be gay, please be gay, please be gay, please be gay, please be gay'

My knees almost buckled from the moment she winked at me. Oh my lesbian God! She winked at me! She. winked. at. me!

I was beaming at the moment as someone approached her and handed her a piece of paper. That's the time she turned her body facing fully at me.

She raised her brow and put a wicked smile on her face while sticking the paper on her upper-right chest. My smile almost dropped when she tapped her hand a few times for emphasis at the paper that was sticked on her chest, and I read "Event Organizer" written on the label sticker.

I heard a chuckle from my left and a whisper, "Oops dude, I guess she's off limits." then she turned around and walked away from us.

When the event started, I tried to participate and went to chat with some girl "Hi I'm Dianne, and you are?"

"Hi Dianne! I'm Ashley, nice to meet you" I replied giving her my trademark nose crinckle and shook her hands. "So Ashley, is this your first time here?"

"Uh yeah, my friends just forced me to join this event. So I guess I'll just give it a shot" She laughed at the information "really? I'm glad yo-..."

I zoned out as my eyes once again captured the beautiful blonde awhile ago. She's taking pictures of the event and seems lost at her own world. Man, she's so stunning! I wonder if she's sing-

"You're not listening are you?" Dianne waved her hand in front of my face. "Uh sorry, what are you saying again?"

"Oh forget it" she shooed her hands in my direction. "Talk to her, I guess you got it bad" she chuckled then after apologizing, I excused myself to go to the beautiful blonde.

I found her sitting at the bar stool drinking Iced Tea, I guess. I decided to man up and made my way to her but she didn't saw me approaching so she was startled when she saw me beside her.

"Hi" I said to the woman clutching her chest. She cocked her brow at me to continue.

"I'm Ashley" I offered my hand for her to shake.

"Uhm, sorry but I'm not a participant" she said plainly.

"oh it's fine, it's not important" I smiled giving her my award winning nose crinkle smile. "I just want to know if you believe in love at first sight?" I asked skeptically.

She looked at me confused but shakes her head as a no anyway. I turned around walking away without saying a word, and then I go back again instantly facing her with serious look on my face. Of course, she looked at me like I'm a crazy person.

"How about at second sight?" She cracked a smile having an idea what I'm up to. "I knew it! I'm like a camera isn't it?" I continued my lame pick-up lines.

"What?" she asked. "Because I can make you smile" I answered trying to hold my laughter.

"You know what, you might not be able to go home anymore" she told me with plain seriousness. Oops, I didn't pissed her, did I? I still took the courage and asked, "Why?" Then she smiled again. "Because you're already inside my head" and pointed at her temple.

'Ooh, this girl knows how to play huh' I thought to myself. We just kept on laughing thinking how lame we are.

"You know what if you're a basketball, I will not be able to shoot you on the ring" I kept my lameness going. "Why, because you're always going to miss me?" I cracked nodding for confirmation. Nice, I really starting to like this girl!

"You're like shit, you know that?"

She looked bewildered this time. "Huh?!"

I'm in the verge of bursting in laughter as I replied, "Because I wouldn't dare to play you!" Then she laughed again, God it's so lame in so many levels!

"I'm never compared from a shit before, you know" She managed to say between her laughter. I smiled amused that she still not kicking me out in here.

"I'm Ashley" I offer my hand once again, this time she took it.

"Spencer, I'm Spencer" I can't control beaming at her as she smiled sweetly to me...

I snapped out of my thought when Kyla was calling my name asking me if I want to join them at the dance floor. Of course, I'm not in the mood anymore so I shake my head.

I stand to head at the bar corner to get some drinks.

"Another lonely night, I see" I muttered to myself.
