After a long night of a lot of interesting news – Ashley was the one who turned out to be the most upset about having to leave the boys, well Victor. The two of them chatting all night about everything, specially that thing. Blake and Zeeke danced all night until Zeeke found a cute girl to hit on, then Harry and Gus danced with her. When the sun was rising in the big Apple, Blake's feet were already hurting and Ashley was already tired of hearing her own voice asking questions about Victor's sexuality, even though the boy seemed comfortable, Ashley could tell he was already starting to get annoyed. They left the pub together, Zeeke and Isaac were nowhere to be found but somehow they knew they were okay. It was nothing unusual to have Zeeke disappearing for a couple of hours until he showed up back to their shoebox apartment.
With Louboutin in hands Ashley walked through the New York City streets, while Harry was not so glad to have Blake sleeping on his back, as he walked trying to hold the girl tight.
"I can't believe she passed out and I am carrying her home," He complained.
Ashley smiled, "You agreed to dance with her, and I am sure my feet are hurting way worse than hers, even though I never left my chair."
"What was so good that you and Victor couldn't shut up about anyways?" The blonde guy asked, taking a deep breath, adjusting Blake on his back, "I swear, she is even heavier when she is sleeping."
Ashley laughed, thinking about all the conversation she had, "She got a little tipsy because of the circumstances, though I think she handled everything pretty well."
"Pretty well? Pretty fucking sickening," He said, not missing Ash's smirk and making a mental note to stop watching Drag Race with them, "She looked hot and Isaac must be passed out at some corner right now," Harry said, squeezing the girl even closer, "Blake sometimes can drive me fucking nuts, but I am really protective over her."
"We all are, she is like, our baby."
Harry smiled, "Damn straight. But I see you as a baby as well."
Ash rolled here eyes and smirked a bit, "Fuck off, I can take care of myself, you know that pretty damn well."
"Oh, I know. I just worry sometimes," Harry said quietly, "Like, when B had her problems with the whole eating thing, she wanted our help, your help specifically, and it was hard as fuck to put in this little brain that she is beautiful and worth so much more than Isaac or whatever other douche, I mean after dancing in this tight skirt tonight and making that asshole look like an well, asshole, I bet she is more confident than ever. But you Ash," Harry said calmly not missing how uncomfortable the girl was, "You concern me all the time because I never know what is going on in this little brain of yours."
"I am fine Harry, really," Ashley said, hugging herself tightly and not looking at anywhere but the floor, "I am happy, I mean, I am almost there."
The boy smiled and stood still while the girl in his back adjusted herself and he could feel her cheeks growing in a smile agains his shoulders, "We will get there, A. Pretty soon."
Ashley looked at her best friend and smiled, "Well good morning sunshine."
Harry stopped and frowned, "B, since when you are awake?"
The girl smiled, "Ten blocks ago, but you are just so comfy Harry."
Ashley laughed, and Harry rolled his eyes, "Out."
Blake took a deep breath and jumped off the boy's back, "I think we should go to Tiffany's."
"Agree."
Harry slapped his own face, "God it is five in the morning, and Ashley I still want to know everything about Luke."
"Oh, shut up." She said, "Come on B, let's go home and rest. Zeeke will be there pretty soon and I need to take off those lashes."
"Kay." She said, "So, did you enjoyed the night, friends?"
"Yeah, it was pretty nice to see the boys, though your little love was acting weird."
"He is not my love Harry, you are. No need to be jealous," Blake smiled, "And well, what was weird was Ash talking to Victor. What was that about?"
Ashley smiled, finally walking up the stairs of their building, "Well, bottoms down best reunion ever."
"Bottoms down?" Harry asked.
Ashley laughed, "I meant, hands down, best reunion."
Blake and Harry looked at each other, not understanding what that meant. Ashley was crazy sometimes.
"Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel?"
Blake laughed, "Bradley is the bottom. Vin Diesel is a T.T. aka total top."
Ashley agreed, "Tom Felton and Rupert Grint?"
"Ugh," Blake frowned, "That is hard. Rupert is the top I guess, though I think they are verse."
"Okay, hard one," Ashley said, "Bianca Del Rio and Bob The Drag Queen?"
Blake laughed, "Bianca is always the top."
"Bob is black. And Bianca is like 5'2"!" Ashley screamed making her friend laugh.
They were laying on the couch since 2pm when the three of them woke up. It was a hot Monday in New York City and not even the AC seemed to be taking care of making the tiny home a bit cooler. Zeeke was still missing and not picking up his phone, as always. Harry was watching some documentary about Cosmos, and Blake and Ashley were way too busy playing their favorite game. Harry already lost the count about how many times he asked them to shut up and how many times he got pissed because he was one of the options of the game.
"Jeffree Star and Miss Fame?" Blake asked.
Ashley laughed, "Jeffree is the top I guess."
"Fucking hell," Harry screamed, "Fame is the top, now shut the fuck up, please and thank you."
Blake and Ashley looked to one another and laughed, "Miss Fame has a tiny penis," Blake said, "Jeffree is the top Harry, please."
"Where is Zeeke? This place need testosterone, first I am playing this game, next thing I know Ash will be doing my makeup and I will be wanting to bottom to Vin Diesel."
Ashley laughed, "You would be a cute queen Harry. Way better than Zeeke."
"Not happening," Harry said, "I was talking to Gus last night about the people that went to school with us and like, I was surprised that–"
"They are all still in the closet?" Ashley asked, "Same."Harry rolled his eyes, "That I don't know nothing about their lives right now."
"That is a good thing, it means we are finally getting clean from their bullshit." Ashley said, and Blake looked sad.
"It makes me so sad," She said, "I mean, I just kept contact with you guys and sometimes I wonder where the rest of them are, like Leonard, John and even that bitch Nathalie that I used to hate."
Ashley laughed, "Victor told me Leonard married our biology teacher, you know her? Miss, well now Mrs., Nanne."
Blake and Harry opened their mouths almost like Ashley just told them the cure of cancer, "Bullshit. You are joking. Tell me you are joking!" Harry screamed.
"Actually, I saw the pictures. Yes, they are together."
Blake laughed and slapped her face, "Now that is surprising."
"About Nathalie," Ashley said, "I saw her one year ago back home and she was still figuring out what she wanted to do as her career, and –"
"What is up with you that you keep running into people we knew and you are never telling us about it?" Harry asked.
Blake agreed, moving her sit next to the boy, "That's right. What are you hiding?"
"Hiding?" Ashley said, "I am not hiding anything, you just never really –"
The girl was interrupted with the sound of the door opening and slamming. Zeeke walked in, his shirt looking like a mess and his neck was full of hickeys. His hair looked like it wasn't washed since 2007 and his zipper was down.
"Best. Night. Ever."
Harry rolled his eyes, "I don't get it, you get laid every week, and here I am, discussing who is the top and who is the bottom between hollywood couples."
Zeeke laughed, opening the fridge and grabbing some orange juicy, "Just remember that if you turn gay, you own Ash five bucks."
Harry ignored the 'True' Ash said and kept going with his speech, "I just think it is weird that girls never come to me to have fun and I have needs you know?"
"Harry," Blake started, touching the boy's arm,"You know you can always come to me right?"
Ashley, Harry and Zeeke laughed, "Blake get over it." Ash said, "Harry, you need to update your game."
"What do you mean?"
Ashley rolled her eyes, "Answer me this: What is the first thing you say to a girl in a pub?"
"Hello?" The boy answered and Ash and Zeeke laughed.
"Wrong," the boy said, taking off his shirt and pants and laying his head on Blake's lap, "You offer her a drink, and say that her dress is lovely."
Harry laughed, "You live with me for three years and you have known me for like, 13 years now Ash, and Zeeke, you know me for less than that but still, you know I would only buy a drink to a stranger if I were like, insane. That shit is expensive."
"Someone will never get laid again." Ash sang.
"Said the girl that don't kiss since fucking March." He rolled his eyes, waiting for the girl to snap him, but it never came.
Zeek cleared his throat, "If I may," He sat down and looked serious for the first time ever, "Ash might be going through a dry period right now, maybe because she is always in a bad mood, maybe because she is tired of jerks like me trying making out with her, or maybe because she is switching teams," With that he received the girl's middle finger and ignored it, "But the point is, Ashley here is not only the biggest bitch in town, she is also confident as hell and even if she is not kissing or fucking anyone in months, she acts like she owns the place and like she can pick whoever she wants, and like she is way better than anyone there," He said calmly, Ashley smiled and Blake agreed, Harry pretended not to care and roll his eyes, but Zeeke knew he was paying attention, "And even Blake here, who tends to start to do weird ass dances when she is nervous about some cute guy, never hesitates when it comes to what she wants. You my friend..." Harry raised his brows and looked at his friend, "Need to be more confident and own your fucking game."
Harry rolled his eyes, "Bullshit."
"He has the point Harry," Blake said, "You are always like, dating weird girls who are younger, kinda ugly, and boring as hell. That last girl you bought here, Farrah, she was so weird."
Ashley laughed, "She was more than weird, her fucking name was Farrah to begin with."
"Judging a person by the name Ashley, how fucking clever." Harry whined and Ashley stood up.
"The deal is Harry," She raised her voice, "You better loose this whole 'I only date girls who are not as good as me' bullshit and live life a bit. Go out with Zeeke, get drunk, kiss a stranger, have sex, have gay sex, as long as you pay my five bucks, I don't care. Just stop acting like I am the bitch when you are being the one denying the truth."
Blake stood up as well, feeling the heavier atmosphere and laughing uncomfortable, "No fights! Please! Ashley, go grab your facial mask, Zeeke the bottle of wine, I will grab the more pillows. We are doing the truth afternoon and night, so lets stay calm and in peace, pretty please."
Ash rolled her eyes but went grab the mask, if they had a motto in this house, that definitely was 'Friends that moisturizing together, stay together'. Zeeke grabbed the bottle of wine and sat on the floor grabbing one of the pillows. The truth afternoon was something they had to do every once in a while. It was more like the time they could say what they did that bothered one another without being called a bitch or an asshole. It was basic Ash's favorite time of the month.
The blonde girl applied the mask on her T-zone and did the same with Harry, Blake did it too and Zeeke as well. The four friends were sitting in the middle of the living room, everyone of them had their glass of wine and they all laughed when Blake said, "The only complain I have about Harry is that he won't love me back."
"My turn?" Ashley asked.
Zeeke laughed, "It is not even fair to play this game with you, A. You play it everyday, literally."
"I hate when Zeeke tries to get cute with me, I don't get cute, I get drop dead gorgeous." She said, doing a tongue pop and Blake laughed doing one as well.
"Ash," Harry said, "I hate when you think you can say whatever you want because you are moody and because it is like, your job to be a bitch 24/7."
Ash took a deep breath, "I just, I don't know it is part of my personality."
"You know Ash," Zeeke said, "I think the bitch is more of a character that you have, and like, I love her, she is super funny and hot but, we are your best friends."
"Family!" Blake corrected him, "We are family, and even though I appreciate you treating Isaac like I always wanted to be able to treat him, you don't need to be like that with us. Like when you snap at me sometimes, hurts my heart."
Ash frowned and crowned over her friend, Ashley could be the strongest and most harshest of them all but she sure was the weakest when it came to alcohol, only a feel sips and she was already almost tearing because her best friend said that, "I love you, B." She said, and Harry laughed.
"Okay Ash no more wine, we forgive you. But it is like, 4pm and this is way too soon to get drunk." He said, grabbing her glass and taking it away from the group.
Zeeke smirked and eyed the blonde girl laying on Blake's shoulder while the brunette girl squeezed her hand and said something like 'this is the most perfect little hand and all around the world', "Ash, you should tell the Luke story now." "Yes!" Harry screamed, "And Victor's too."
Zeeke frowned, "Victor?"
"They are BFF's now." Blake said, raising her shoulders.
"My ass." Harry said, "Spill it out Ash, do you two have what? A lost child?"
Ashley laughed, "No you silly, he is not into that."
"Kids?" Blake asked, "He seems the type that would like to have kids."
"What about Luke," Harry said, confused about her last answered, "Why he said you are a nice person?"
Zeeke agreed, "Right, you were the one who had a crush on him but kept that whole 'I only know you inside school' bullshit."
Ashley smiled, "We had pretty awesome sex two years ago. And I mean, pretty fucking awesome."
All of her friends looked confused, and completely lost.
"What?" Harry screamed.
"When?" Blake said it after.
"Why never me?" Zeeke screamed making all of them laugh.
Ashley took a deep breath, "He was in town for his mom's birthday I think and I was there to you know, visit mom and dad and see things. I ran into him and next thing I know we are having awesome sex."
"Wow." Blake said, "You never told me this, A. That kinda hurts."
Ashley looked sad, "I am sorry B, I felt stupid." She slapped her own face, "I am always telling you to get over Isaac and there I was, having awesome sex with my high school love."
Zeeke laughed, "Ash said Love."
"Crush," Ash screamed, "I said crush."
Harry shook his head and smiled at his best friend, when she laid on his lap, "Right, Ash said crush."
Ash said something that sounded like a 'Zeeke is dumb. I don't love Luke, never did' and closed her eyes.
"What about Victor?" Blake asked, "No more secrets! I really am curious!"
Ashley smiled, "Blake, between Victor and any other random guy, top or bottom?"
Blake frowned, "We did this a million times Ash, he is a top we already stablished that. What this has anything to do with your three hours conversation" Ashley smiled, "The right answer is bottom," she said calmly, "Oh and I am five bucks richer."
The room went silent for a few minutes and Ashley almost slept on Harry's lap, but then she had her three best friends screaming and asking questions about everything she knew about Victor's sexuality, Blake seemed more upset because she guessed wrong about his preferences in bed than about the boy turning out to be bissexual or pan. Harry was nervous and specially, surprised because he told this to Ashley, the girl that could never shut up about those things, Zeeke wanted to say that he always knew it, but he just laughed hysterically and kissed Ash's cheek saying thank you for this lovely piece of gossip.
"That is one more thing," Ash said quietly, she got up and sat down back in her place, taking a few deep breaths and not laughing anymore. Zeeke looked worried and Blake reached both of her hands, "We were talking about the guys and he accidentally told me something I guess it was supposed to be a secret but, now, I don't know what to say about that."
"Fuck Ashley doesn't know what to say." Zeke said, panicking, "Who he killed? Just say it."
"No, no nothing like that."
Harry took one of her hands from Blake's hand, "Just say it, Ash."
Ashley turned to Blake, smiled a bit sadly and closed her eyes, "Isaac is a dad," she whispered, "And he is engaged, the wedding will be in August. And we were invited."
