I run into my house to make sure everything is in order before we leave, stopping in my room to grab 2 bars before I left. I decided I was going to drinking tonight so it was best not to use any more powder. I had done a line at around 3 or so, and I was good for now. Dinner went strangely amazing. Spencer was so different than every other girl I had ever met before. I loved talking to her and hearing her talk right back.
I locked the door behind me, "Hope you guys are ready to par-tay!" I'm a funny girl, what can I say? Aiden hopped into the driver's seat of his Nissan and Kyla naturally sat in the passenger's seat. That left Spencer and I together in the backseat. Fun how I don't even plan these things, but I'm not complaining. Being close to Spencer was exhilarating. "Hey Aiden, you mind if I smoke in your car? I'm not sure if the smell will bug you or not."
"Go for it, just don't ash it in my car"
"Gotcha" and with that I lit my cigarette and took a long drag. Yum. I tried to sneak a side-glance at Spencer who was sitting to my right. I wonder what she thought about me smoking. For sure Spencer didn't smoke; she was way to sweet to smoke, and way too pretty. I looked over less discretely because I noticed she had been looking at me too, not in a disgusted way like I had expected her to look at me, but in a sincere way. I smiled at her, and she smiled back. I think I started blushing there because I felt my cheeks get hot; I straightened my head and took a drag. "So Kyla, you're doing a horrible job at being the DJ, put some jams on girl!"
"Here here! Put my new CD on its awesome" Boy Aiden sounded excited. Aiden was a happy party kid, so his CDs were always fun to jam to when driving. It was chill just jamming in Aiden's car, sitting next to Spencer and smoking a cigarette. The CD was full of Lil Wayne songs, and I'm not going to lie, I have a secret obsession with Weezy F. Baby; that man is amazing! Aiden and Kyla were in their own conversation up front and Spencer and I were just in a silence in the backseat. It wasn't an awkward silence at all though. It was nice.
"So you excited for this party?" She broke it.
"Yeah I guess. How about you? You're losing your L.A party virginity tonight!" We both started laughing.
Still giggling she looked at me and started talking again, "Well I'm glad I'm with good company tonight then." If I wasn't mistaken she just complimented me; or maybe she just likes third-wheeling Aiden and Kyla.
"Me too." I smiled at her, big and goofy. I didn't know why but being around Spencer made me smile so much more than I usually did. I felt when I was around her I was becoming a better person, but as soon as she's out of my sight I'm me again. I'd stand next to her forever if I could, but that would probably freak her out.
We finally got to the neighborhood and there was a shit load of cars parked on the grass and on the street. Oh, this party was going to be sick for sure. We managed to find a spot to park a few houses down and Aiden quickly got out of the car, opening the door for each of us. He's such a gentleman; always watching out for his girls.
I'd been to Scott's beach house before; he had thrown a huge party over the summer. I walked into the front door with Spencer trailing close behind me. It was kind of cute how she looked nervous, like is she wanted people to like her. I was nervous too though, but because not because of everyone else, but because of her.
"Ash! Yay! You're here!" Kelly ran up to me hugging me like if she hadn't seen me in years. She reeked of weed too. That made me laugh. Kelly was more of a pothead than anything, which added to her charm. She had this burnout personality that always kept you laughing around her. I usually only smoked to calm my nerves. That sounds horrible when I put it that way. My habit has even started to worry me, because I hadn't gone a straight week I about two months without using almost every day. The money wasn't a problem for me, my dad practically paid for my coke problem. The problem was more physical. My body was so much more tired all of the time now, only feeling up to par when I was wired. I couldn't tell anyone that though, I think I'd get crucified.
I greeted Kelly enthusiastically; big hug, loud greeting just the way we liked it. "Come, let's get a drink. Hey Spencer!" Kelly was really stoned I could see it in her eyes. She grabbed my hand and started leading me to the kitchen.
"Go ahead, I'll stay with Kyla" Spencer mouthed to me. She really didn't know Kelly so I guess she must have felt uncomfortable. I asked her if she was sure, and she said yes. I kept walking with Kelly to the kitchen and there were 2 kegs on the floor and about 10 bottles of liquor on the tables. I grabbed myself a plastic red cup, got some ice, then poured some Smirnoff Watermelon flavored vodka to about ¾ of the cup.
"Hey is there any sprite?" Kelly knew this house very well. In case I didn't mention Kelly and Scott have a thing. She has this thing for big jocks. They aren't official, but they have hooked up a good amount of times, and hang out quite a bit. She grabbed a can from the fridge and threw it to me.
"Always prepared Ash, always prepared." She started laughing, "Hey wait! Lets take shots!" Hell yeah! She ran to the cabinet and took out to shot glasses that said Canada on them. How freaking random. "Hmmmm… Smirnoff, Bacardi, or Grey Goose?"
"One of each sounds good to me, don't you think"
"Oh Ashley, how I love your brain"
I put my hand in my pocket and took out the two Xanax bars I had brought. "I too come prepared!" Her eyes got so excited, I gave her a pill and with our first shot we popped a pill each.
Now for the goosy; Kelly poured two more shots and we got ready to take them. We grabbed hands and took the shot, both of us making disgusted faces as we swallowed the alcohol. Pitbull was playing on the stereo and there was a good amount of people dancing sexy in the living room. Kelly and I finished our shots, I grabbed my drink and we started to head out of the kitchen. As soon as I started walking my body felt much lighter. I look out for where my sister and Spencer went but I couldn't find them anywhere. Oh well. I then made my rounds with Kelly, greeting everyone. People know me you could say. I really don't think half of them even like me, they just enjoy being able to say they know Raife Davies' daughter. It bugs me sometimes, but I can tell the difference between a faker and an actually cool person by now.
"Lets go smoke a ciggy" Kelly grabbed my hand and we walked to the backyard. The backyard was amazing. The house was actually on the beach, so the backyard was sand and a 1-minute walk to the water. Kelly and I sat in the sand and I pulled out my cigarettes, giving one to Kelly and another to my lips. I lit mine and passed the lighter to my right.
"So who did you come with other than Spencer?"
"Kyla and Aiden, why?"
"No just wondering, because I thought it was just you four. Double date huh?" She was joking, but I think it was her way of trying to find out if that was maybe true or not. I laughed a little.
"No, not really. Actually, I don't even know if she's straight or not."
"I guess we must find out then!" We laugh together but then again we are always fucked up together, "Well, do you like her?"
"I'm not sure. I don't know if I want to or not."
"Why not?"
"I don't know; you know how I get"
"I guess.." Her voice trailed off as Kyla ran out with Spencer, who was holding a beer.
"There you are!" Kyla said, "They were looking for you inside. Something about playing a game.. I'm not sure so just let's go!" Spencer was smiling behind her, her eyes much more glazy than they had been when we got here. Kyla led Kelly, me, and Spencer upstairs to where the bedrooms were. The first door to the right of us was some sort of den or office room, where about 10 people were sitting in a circle with 2 bottles of Absolut and a few shot glasses.
"Ashley!" They all screamed. I'm fun to get drunk with what can I say? Sitting on the floor were a few familiar faces: Evan, Corey, Jessie, Maggie and Josh. Maggie was this girl who I had hooked up with twice over the summer but that ended awkwardly. We're still friends though, and we love getting drunk together at parties. I didn't know the rest of the people seated around us, but I really could care less about that. I took my sandals off and sat in the circle, pulling Kelly and Spencer down on each side of me.
"What are we playing guys?"
"Well we were kind of thinking of spin the bottle?"
"How old are you guys? Twelve?" Kelly peeped out sarcastically.
"Yeah seriously." I said back, "Oh hey guys this is Spencer for any of you who don't know" I hadn't introduced her, which was rude of me. Kyla had left the room to go play beer pong with Aiden.
"OH! I have a great idea guys!" Oh no, Kelly's ideas are never good in the end, "Lets play never have I ever!" Oh no. Never have I ever is everyone takes a turn saying something that they have never done, and everyone who has done the said thing must take a shot. It's a good way to get to know people, but it could get very embarrassing, because once you are drunk, you get pretty honest. Everyone liked the idea. This was going to be very interesting.
"Shit, I'm going to start it up!" That was Josh. Everyone loves playing this game ha-ha, "Uhh, never have I ever had sex in my parents bed." Kelly started laughing hysterically and took a shot, her being the only one.
"Awkward…." She laughed, "Okay my turn. Hmmm.. Oh I know! Never have I ever kissed anyone of the same sex" I knew exactly what she was doing, and wow, what a good idea that way. She wanted to see Spencer's answer, and so did I. I took my shot right away, as well was one of the guys I didn't know sitting across form me. His hair was really pretty so it made sense.
"Oh yeah Ashley big surprise there." That was Evan, "Our favorite little lesbian" That was actually awkward. Then I looked at her, and she smiled at me. She smiled big, and then she took her glass and downed her shot. "OOOOOOH!" coming from everyone's mouth. Like that I knew my answer, and in that smile, I think I knew more.
We played the game for about an hour, resulting in me getting really wasted. What can I say; I'm experienced. Spencer drank quite a bit too I noticed; taking shots for questions involving sex, a lot of alcohol, and even smoking weed. I liked her more and more every minute I spent around her. The players had slowly started leaving downstairs to get back to the party and eventually it ended up just being me, Spencer, Evan, Maggie and Josh. I stood up which was a crazy idea because the room was definitely spinning. Spencer held out her hand to me so that I could help her up.
"Oh shit! I'm really drunk" Her voice cracked too. She was laughing a lot and she wrapped her arms around my shoulders and started walking, leading me forward. We got downstairs and the amount of people here had increased even more. This party was huge. "Hey Ashley, lets dance!"
"I'd hate for you to think I was a terrible dancer" I put on my sad face, pouting my lips.
She got close to my face and whispered in my ear, "I won't, I promise" We were at the dance floor by that point and Pop, Lock and Drop it was blaring in my eardrums. Spencer was really drunk; I could see it in her eyes. She smiled big at me then she got up real close to me and started dancing, her hands on my hips, and her stomach on my stomach.
"Damn, I didn't know Ohio bred such good dancers" I had to talk up close to her ear to make sure she heard me. She never answered just laughed and kept on dancing. The songs kept changing but we kept dancing. My heart was racing from her touch. We were both sweating because we'd been dancing for about half an hour. She grabbed my hand taking me to the kitchen.
"Oh man! I'm parched" Who used that word and didn't sound like a nerd? Spencer. She grabbed a red cup and filled it with some watermelon vodka. "Do you know if they have Sprite? I love Sprite with vodka."
Many drinks later I look at my phone seeing that it's almost one in the morning. "Shit Spencer what time do you have to be home?"
"Uhhh I'm not sure? Let me call my mom.." Spencer was really drunk; I didn't think she could go home that way. She looked at me in the eye, "Ash, I'm really wasted!" She started laughing like crazy.
"Sleep over?"
"Really?"
"Would your mom let you?"
"I could ask. Let me call her now" She was smiling and dialing. She walked a few steps away to get come quiet. In two minutes she was back smiling even wider, "She said it's fine as long as I go to church in the morning"
"Well that's cool Spence, I can drop you off early if you want." Her blue eyes were gorgeous in the light. I couldn't stop breathing her in. My words were slurring, my body was tingling, and my vision was blurry, but I knew for sure I was feeling something. This was something bigger than me; I really did feel it. I was jumping further in every second I spent with her, and I didn't want to stop.
Good? Trash? Let me know:D
