"I promise not to pull another 180 on you again" Ashley giggled as she was wrapped in Kevin's arms as they were sitting on the couch.

"You better not. I can't lose you now can i?" Kevin laughed kissing her on he forehead. Ashley knew Kevin was a lovely guy that cared deeply about her, so she couldn't keep herself from falling for him.

"You won't. You're stuck with me now unfortunately" Ashley smiled. "I need a drink" Ashley exclaimed getting up to get herself some water.

"What do you want to do tonight? Or tomorrow? No, tonight since it's already 1 am" Kevin giggled.

"I don't know... I'm not fussed" Ashley said as she poured herself a glass of water.

"How about you and i do dinner together, and then we can meet up with some of the guys at a club" Kevin suggested.

"Dinner sounds perfect. Um, club...?" Ashley said with a hesitant look on her face.

"We can just to drinks at this quite lounge. Does that sound better?" Kevin suggested, forgetting Ashley wasn't a big fan of clubs.

"Yeah, that sounds better. What about the guys?" Ashley cringed.

"The guys will be fine, i promise. Steph can come too!" Kevin smiled as he walked over to Ashley. He wanted Ashley to get along with his friends since they were both so important to him.

"Okay. I just don't want them to be iffy towards me you know" Ashley explained.

"They won't be, trust me. They'll like you just the way i do" Kevin smiled wrapping his arms around Ashley from behind her.

"Just like you do?" Ashley sighed with a cheeky expression turning her body to face his.

"Well... Not exactly like i do" Kevin giggled before he leaned in and kissed Ashley.


Ashley and Kevin went out for an early dinner that night and had a really good time. Kevin took her back to her hotel room, so she could get ready with Steph to go out for some drinks with the guys.

"How was the dinner? It was your first date. Were you excited?" Steph asked Ashley as they were in Ashley's hotel room getting ready for the night.

"Yeah, i mean it was our first date as a couple... It's weird to say it... couple" Ashley laughed.

"It's so cute" Steph exclaimed doing a little jump on the spot. She could see that Kevin made Ashley happy, and in turn that made Steph happy to see her friend smiling.

"Yes, but enough talking about me" Ashley exclaimed looking through her clothes. "Do you like any of the guys?" she added.

"Um, no not really" Steph sighed walking away from Ashley.

"You lie" Ashley laughed. "Have you seen all the guys here" she added.

"Yeah, just no one in particular that i fancy" Steph shrugged.

"Well, then i expect to see you dancing all up in Cody's space... He likes you, you know?" Ashley explained. Kevin had mentioned to her that Cody had a little thing for Steph.

"Really? Oh, well... Yeah, nah" Steph sighed turning her back to Ashley.

"What's wrong with you?" Ashley laughed.

"Nothing, just... I don't want to be set up with anyone, okay?" Steph said.

"Whatever you like" Ashley sighed. She didn't understand why Steph didn't want to be with any of the guys, but she was sure she'd find out soon.

Steph just stood there thinking how much she wanted Ashley to drop the subject and for it to not pop up again during the night.


Kevin came to Ashley's hotel room along with Jake and Mike to pick up Steph and Ashley, and take them to the lounge where Cody and Randy would be waiting for them already. The five of them caught a cab, and were now just walking to the lounge up the street.

"So... dating the fancy boy now, are we?" Jake laughed wrapping an arms around Ashley in a friendly way. Kevin and Jake were the closest out of the group of guys, so Kevin really wanted Ashley to get along with Jake.

"Fancy boy? That's what i shall call him now" Ashley giggled poking Kevin in the stomach as he just giggled.

"Nah, i usually just call him dumb ass, but i doubt you'd want to call him that" Jake laughed as they were now outside the lounge.

"Just warning you, Cody's excited to see you" Mike whispered into Steph's ear.

"That's nice" Steph smiled not really caring much for what Mike said as they walked in.

They walked into the lounge to find Cody and Randy sitting in a rounded booth towards the side of the place. There was a small dance floor and a fair amount of people there, but it wasn't to packed so it was just perfect.

"This place SUCKS" Randy exclaimed as the five of them walked over to them.

"Hello to you too" Kevin exclaimed.

"Oh, yeah. hi" Randy shrugged as they all sat down in the booth together.

"Hi Steph" Cody smiled after he said hi to everyone else.

"Um, hi" Steph sighed feeling really uncomfortable for several reasons.

"Randy, you didn't say hi to Ashley" Kevin exclaimed glaring at Randy.

"Oh, hey" Randy mumbled not really caring. Ashley just looked at Kevin and gave him a look of concern.

"He's a fool" Kevin whispered into Ashley's ear causing her to laugh.

"We don't keep secrets from each other Kevin" Jake laughed.

"I'm going to get us some drinks" Mike said getting up to go over to the bar.

"I'll come with you" Randy groaned getting up to go with Mike.

"What's with him?" Steph asked noticing Randy's weird mood.

"He's just being a dick head, don't worry" Kevin explained.


"You like The Big Bang Theory on top of everything else we were just talking about? Kevin, i approve" Jake exclaimed patting Kevin on the back causing Ashley to giggle. Kevin was so happy to see that Ashley had been getting along with Jake.

"Cody, snap out of it. She doesn't want you" Mike whispered into Cody's ear. He noticed Cody staring at Steph who was sitting across from him.

"I know, i know" Cody sighed under his breath.

"Who want's another drink? I think we should all have another drink? Another drink? Okay!" Randy mumbled. Randy was fairly tispy at this point.

"Maybe you should settle down on the drinking, bro" Jake exclaimed.

"Maybe you should tell your bro, and his thing to leave, bro" Randy exclaimed. Ashley just looked over at Kevin.

"What's he talking about?" Steph asked looking at Kevin. Kevin looked down at Ashley and hesitated to speak.

"Tell her, bro. I don't care. It's not like i'll care if she likes me anyway" Randy explained.

"What's going on?" Ashley asked looking up at Kevin as he had his arm wrapped around her.

"He's just a jerk, remember that" Kevin said before he wanted to continue and Ashley nodded. "He doesn't really like you. I don't know why i've tried talking to him, but he just gets that way, he'll come around" Kevin explained.

"No i won't. Because of her we don't hang out with Ted anymore, so fuck that. Never going to like her, plus she doesn't fit in with all of us. She's not fun, she's all boring and stuff" Randy said. Even though he was tispy, everyone at that table knew he meant every word he was saying.

"Shut your fucking mouth" Kevin exclaimed.

"You know i'm right" Randy laughed.

"Just stop, Randy! Seriously" Jake shouted.

"Can we leave?" Ashley asked Kevin who smiled and nodded. He knew Randy made the whole situation uncomfortable, and if they stayed it only would of gotten worse.

"I'm leaving with you guys" Jake added as they all got up to leave.

"You coming?" Ashley asked looking at Steph.

"No, i'll stay with Cody and Mike and sort this guy out for you" Steph explained and Ashley smiled and left with the guys.


Steph stayed back because she wanted to see what was wrong with Randy and why he was being so rude to Ashley, so she took him away from Cody and Mike to speak to him in private.

"What's wrong with you?" Steph exclaimed after she dragged Randy to the corner of the lounge.

"Nothing, Steph. I don't like that girl and i've told you that before" Randy explained.

"Yes, you told me you didn't like her, but i told you that when you actually spent time with her your feelings towards her would change" Steph said rolling her eyes.

"Aha... and i did, and they haven't" Randy laughed.

"Your feelings changed towards me" Steph exclaimed placing her hands on her hips.

"Yeah, but that's because your amazing" Randy winked putting his hands around her and pulling her into him.

"NO! She's my friend... You can't do that. How am i ever going to tell her now that I'm seeing a guy who hates her" Steph exclaimed. Steph had been seeing Randy for a while now. Neither of them wanted to say anything to anyone because of everything that was going on with Ashley and Kevin, but now that everything seemed steady between them Steph was hoping she could finally tell Ashley about Randy.

"I'm not going to play nice with someone i dislike, Steph. You know that's not me" Randy shrugged. Steph just rolled her eyes and walked away.
