I wanted it to be a girls night out with just me and Alexa, celebrating. I was originally going to ask Seth and Dean but since the hiccup; I changed my mind.
Now he's here, anyway.
The taxi ride to the club was quiet. Seth was in the front and me and Alexa were in the back together.
We got out of the taxi and managed to get ourselves into the VIP part of the club. I say managed... we're basically famous, so it got handed to us.
Seth had his hand on my lower back, but I didn't push it away. We were all in the moment and I didn't want to spoil it with any issues or drama.
"I missed you." He whispered in my ear. We walked to an amazing large couch in the corner of the club together. He gestured for me to sit down first, so I did. He sat next to me... his famous smile, showing.
"I missed you too! I can't believe you didn't speak to me that much after..." I trailed off. I didn't want to bring up the kiss and I wasn't even too sure that he wanted to speak about it either. It was probably a heat of the moment, one-off thing.
"We can... talk about it another time." He said quickly before Alexa joined us with her own drink in her hand. Cheeky bitch. "Thanks, Bliss." He chuckled at her before he got up and made his way over to the bar.
Alexa took a sip of her drink, which seemed to be a Mojito. She turned and looked at me, "So, have you managed to speak to him about before?" She asked me.
"No, not really," I began to speak. She kept turning her attention to behind her where a man was eyeing her up. "You know, you should go over to him." She shot her attention quickly to me when I encouraged her.
"No, no. This is a girls night out."
"Seth's here, Alexa. Besides. We'll be fine. You deserve some action." I winked at her, she blushed furiously. She patted my bare knee and shot up with her Mojito in hand and headed towards the bloke.
Seth was carrying two drinks and he looked at her curiously as she whizzed passed him. He looked over at me and he shook his head as he smiled.
"One Margarita for you," He handed my drink to me; I was surprised he remembered my favourite, "So, she's ran off to an admirer. I'm glad we get some time alone."
"Yeah..." I smiled up at him. I missed him. I missed Dean. I missed Roman. I missed all of us together.
"What you thinking about, beautiful?" He put a finger under my chin.
"Just about how I missed all of you. I know me and Dean still saw each other often but... he's changed a lot."
He placed his forehead on mine and looked me in the eyes before saying, "Tonight is about letting loose and being free. We have time to talk about this some other day." He took a massive sip of his drink as I did mine.
He was hiding what he knew about Dean and why he'd change. I didn't want to bring it up because he was right. Let loose and be free... and that meant not worrying over all of this just yet when it hasn't even begun. God knows what they'll say when I tell them what the storyline plans are.

After around five drinks and a lot of laughter; it was beginning to catch up with me - but not too much. Seth had constantly bought us both drinks, I kept constantly seeing Alexa dance with her mystery man, it was just a bunch of fun.
I was so happy I got the opportunity to come back to the main roster, and I was so grateful that they gave me a storyline with the boys, especially with them not speaking to each other anymore. I knew I could change that.
"You wanna dance, Ariel?" Seth said as he just finished the last drop of his drink. Before I could even answer his question, he grabbed my hand and pulled me up onto the dance floor. His hand on my lower back as it was when we came in here hours beforehand. I swayed my hips along to the pounding music. His eyes widened and he looked really impressed by my moves.
"That's what I'm talking about!" He laughed before spinning me around. I started to feel dizzy but I giggled at our antics. Shortly after, I felt myself crash into someone around the same size as me.
"Watch where you're going, seriously." She scowled angrily at me. I looked to see who it was. Renee Young. With alcohol spilled on her.
"Oh god. Well, at least I made you look better." I held in my laughter. So did Seth.
To my utter confusion, Dean turned up behind her, giving me a glare.
"Do you have to be rude to her?" He grumbled.
Whoa.
"Back off, Ambrose. You were basically all over her when she came back, anyway." Seth fought back for me.
Oh god. Why did this have to happen now?
Before Dean could bite back at Seth, I grabbed his hand and dragged his ass towards the bar.
"What the hell is he defending her for?" I said angrily. Seth didn't respond and simply ordered us a few shots for the rest of the night.
"Ariel." He said.
"No, seriously. I'm his best friend and he defends someone he fucking hates. I was only dancing with you and I got a little dizzy." I scoffed.
"Ariel!" He pressed on. I took a deep breath and nodded at him, "They're... together. They've been a couple for ten months." My eyes widened. I was in complete shock. I had known Dean for years, and we saw each other occasionally, and he didn't think to tell me about her? After everything we've been through?
"But he hates her." I laughed in disbelief. He shrugged at me and downed one of his shots like a king.
"Yeah, well. She's a classic gold digger too. Everyone knows it, even him. What can you do? Let him have his fun. I'm sure if you spoke about it, he'd tell you. But for now, let's get fucking pissed." He pushed a shot towards me.
I was still a little bit angry at the way Dean acted towards me. Seth was right though and if this plan was going to work, I had to work with all of them and find out a lot of things. Regardless if it causes fights too.
I picked up the shot and downed it quickly. I shivered slightly but we both downed more at the same time.
The rest of the night was fun and a bit of a blur... and I knew for a fact I was going to regret this in the morning. I didn't care. I was back and I had my boys. Well... one of them.
